As the rays of the lady Sun
SHINE,
Oh, shine on us
No roquelaure with a hood
Quiet,
Nival that once stood,
No title undisturbed
Or protected, thus
Can save you, nor us,
As your mermaid-leman
Unleashed a sleepy deamon
From the darkest night
That shines now so bright,
So bright,
Not even a knight of your height
Will steek this plight!
Oh, the slaver in the park
– Sleep!
And never wake up,
Not even for a peep
Craved by the knight,
Day and night,
Not any more,
As the Sun sends its rays
Justly bright.
This love of irrevocable
Hold I sent it from empyrean beyond
Nightfall calls stars upon the welkin
My love! Glimpse higher and higher
Preeminent stars which of paragon sheens us
Come nigh clasps for a spell
Scintillating planetoid effulgences and watch us
Afar the intoning troubadour of nightangle bides in earnest to sing
These entire cosmos peek and descry of our love
Oh my leman! Come closer and closer
For thou, I surrender all my psyches
Rouse me by your amiable osculation
Let me romance for quondam in your balmy bosom
Let me trance and sojourn to the bliss.
::Dawa Zangpo
Twenty cigarette ashes in the ivory ashtray
Symbol of the impatience burned as smoke
The inamorata sits in the pink chaise lounge
Waiting for inamorato arriving to love nest
Photos found under the bed tied off an arguing
Another affair developed without her knowledge
Feeling betrayed, although fidelity was not an asset
Stripped photos and dispersed pieces over the bed
Inamorato opened the bedroom door and screamed
Hidden dalliance loomed as as a storm in the future
Reproaches ended with the rupture of unlawful love
Leaving forever the tormentous and sinful romance
(Fictional)
The man of might delights
in challenges of brawls.
The hardships hight his heart
to falling fields of fights,
to face foemen fearsome,
seeking to hero slay,
this leman of Mjolnir.
Fondly I list of unrecantable dreams,
Casualty to my nature, subdued as a tenderfoot.
As though only few suns had passed by me.
Unrevealed, I gaze apon my beloveds image,
Craving those neptune eyes to consign my soul to sanity.
Citrine silken you're crowned, with spirits keen and roused.
My willow gold finch, cast your attention to this wounded fledgling, unproved by
love.
Contested with waxing emotion and mocking mind.
Gentle leman, catalyst to my fury; prize me.
Unpent your fond caressess and mete out salve to my distress.
Vest years in this clownish but faithful lover.
Halcyon days with be my oath to you.
Prove me to your own desire, as uncanny mystery has possession already
to this weaker vessel.
My dearest one, inflamed and unabounded, I love thee.
