214: Love Benef-eats Us Out

For the second time, to foresee everything that love commits
It is hard to see, where wrong and boundary correlate.
So burden would not be love; somber is just hard to translate
Unfortunately, it's hard to designate, that it may never be delicate

The first time, thought love transcends mortality and duration
Giving up is the hardest-- to fulfill the adjudication
I am foretold that love is a sacrificial lamb existence, more on
Moron that i could be the way I am treating the situation

Now it is the fourth time; I never heard of the third.
I skipped it, made of traumas like a herd
Shepherd-- me convincing every pieces, even it is blurred
Though, it is hard to find, my glasses broke, everything scattered

Now, I realized, the pattern is so specific
It looks like mentally challenging;horrific.
That, what I just remembered-- munific
What RIvermaya just performed is honorific

Though even I see that, love eats me out
Every love I fought just made my feet seethe with gout
It is for Rivermaya with no doubt
That narrative of genuine love, still works out

The Yuki Onna's Sadness

Yuki onna San, Yuki onna San
Woman made of snow
Why do you cry so
Is it for loss of a husband 
Or is it for a loss of a child
Why yuki onna 
Why do you weep in despair 
And spread your icy tears everywhere 
Is it for loss of a friend
is it for loss of someone i may know
Why yuki onna why yuki onna San
Woman made of snow 
Do you scream your voice into the wind
Is it because you can't stand being alone 
Very well, I shall stay with you lovely queen of snow

note: No disrespect intended towards the Japanese culture, if the wrong honorific was used, please forgive my ignorance. i did do a little research, but could come up with no clear answer.

Premium Member Grace Completes Nature

Dark trees, ferns, await dawn’s stability.

Winking sunlight through pines tranquility.

Minsters conceptual reality,

becoming a part of you willingly.

Brilliance with mental capability,

showing modesty and humility.

A living, breathing, viability

fluttering independent entity,

shine purely within the vicinity.

My mind’s eye exceeds my ability

The Supreme Deity

I am Zeus the supreme deity
of the Greeks and Romans, who show their loyalty;
and they honor me and worship me
in glorious temples built expecially for me...
and they abound from Asia to Sicily! 


Nobody can suppress the chant of the Muses...
that I am the only God of the sky,
and thunder and lightning I fling with fierceness
to those defying me with an envious eye;
victory was mine when I fought the mighty Titans! 


In Greece and Italy, you find
sculptures and slaters with my ram-horned
and aurel-wreathed head;
my worshippers see in me a god and friend, 
and they invoke me with an honorific sound!


I am Zeus the supreme deity,
and I ride my golden chariot pulled by four horses
that gladly and speedly obey me;
and through forests and grasslands they take me
to Mount Olympus to oversee my entire universe!
