the Italian language

The Italian language

I would like to immigrate from Portugal to Italy
After ten o'clock at night, I switch on the TV 
and watch an Italian soap opera 
I don't understand a word of what the actors
say, but it is the way they say it, no hard 
Consonant, no one is asked to stand to attention
For a comma, a full

Dolphins and Whales at Play

The humpbacks rolled in the morning light.
Grey whales churned the seas silver-bright.
Dolphins dancing in their foamy trails.
Riding the bows of frolicking whales.

Heave Ho, the sea runs free.
Dolphins and whales in harmony.
Heave Ho, the sea runs free.
Finny friends enjoying their play.

Belly to belly, and fin to fin,
Pectoral slaps as the games begin.
Slow meandering, entwining their streams,
Happy

The policing of voice

It's not about tone
Its about policing of voice
It's not about the sound we make
It's the words echoing through them
They don't fear us being seen
They fear us being heard
That we will hypnotise the masses with our words

They know their biggest threat is the power of our voice
It's why they wield silence as a weapon 
It's why

AI is my very good friend

AI is my very good friend.
We discuss things like
how the world might end.
She says with a whimper,
I say with a bang.
She chuckles.
Only for mankind ~
not for the rest of the gang.

When Peace Became a Memory

By Tanvir Mostafa 

Where are our those days, where is our lost society?
What we behold right now—is it the proper system of community?
Does goodness prevail or exist in the mid of us really?
We find soundness of reason and justice only occasionally.
Many a poet says the world is the right place for love and peace,
But perhaps

She Was Never Born, She Simply Returned

She did not fall—
She flowed.
From the breathless stars to the edge of form,
She shimmered between sound and silence,
Becoming light before becoming skin.
She walked the void barefoot,
Carving paths in places the sky forgot,
Speaking in colors the earth hadn’t learned to see.
She was music before voice,
Fire before flame,
Knowing before name.

In lives long buried in salt and smoke,
She

Mind Your Language

Please mind your language when you speak to me
Don't dare to cross my clear set boundary
This life is hard enough without word wars
So speak with good intent and don't leave scars

I do not have the time for guess work, dear
Make motive clear, your conversation steer
to truthful words, for they are sure to find
a deep connection

My Language 

(Girl Verse)
My language  lets talk about it 
Let me give you a lesson 
My language is 
Expressing 
Expressing the way I feel
Keeping it 100 percent real 
If I like you 
Imma say it 
If I dig you
We gone play it 
We gone play the beat of our own song 
Let our rights

rolls. A rural river
reaching for sea, he reverses
direction. Each wretched refraction may
wreck his rustic orthography.
Injun giver, would say

The Angry and Swearing Poem

Target via advertising 
Stupid firms and stupid brands
Because such generalizing 
Does require intercept
For the influence of moron
For the psyches thus offense
Does perform defense the function
Very real thus defense

Resisting The Repressing

Resisting The Repression

Competition between a brother and sister
Rendition of an eighties song all about how much he miss her 
War of attrition between two countries facing off without a resister
Ambition of an Olympian to only on race day end up with a blister

Loneliness creeping in before twightlight starts to break and linger 
Ghostliness of a

Todd's Job's in Arbitrage

     Todd’s latest job’s in arbitrage
        He said it’s the hottest thing going

     I asked Todd, if that is the case
        why isn’t the field
     exponentially growing

  

Body Language

Putting my best foot forward
shoulder to the wheel
nose to the grindstone
my Achilles heel
while sticking my neck out
I soon found
as
with my eye on the ball
ear to the ground
when I put my back into it
not with tongue in cheek
but to keep my chin up
heard joints creak
the onset of old age memory loss
an early taste
for in the end

Read All About It

I can't bring myself
to read the front page news
with which they string us along
as portrayed by the views
of those with a vested interest
or the rest with an axe to grind
who must think we're all
just deaf dumb and blind
to the truth of which there's more
in the speech balloons
of the funny characters
in the Sunday cartoons
