Premium Member To the Glen's She Came

There will come a day, when a Maiden graces the Glens
Alba is where she'll stand amidst the land of Highland men
For her hand will be chosen to be at this clansman's side
And render her heart to he, forever she'll reside

To a place called Inverness, which will claim her heart
Leaving her hurt behind allowing her life to start
For in this tranquil city surrounded by hues of green
Many times we'll capture these views, oh! to be seen

Along the River Ness in whatever season one walks
It's beauty always abounds allowing us to talk
There's no better place to stop to share a loving kiss
In the background her waters flow, soothing, so bliss

Many years have passed, we still walk the riverside
To my Maiden who graces my heart, and leaves me full of pride

Premium Member A Most Beautiful Journey

In my many poems
Of a country so rare
Spare me a few minutes
As i take you there

We are Alba
The land of the Scots
Once we meet
We are forget me not

A nation so free
In this world we reside
Bravehearts
Oozing with pride

And the news of today
Confirms my write
For a train journey so beautiful
Has just been named, the worlds best sight

From Glasgow to Mallaig
Gorgeous lochs it does pass
On train journeys the world over
This is above first class

Over the Glenfinnan viaduct
Its the first of its kind
Made of modern concrete
It will blow your mind

The silver sands of Morar
Like gold dust in the mist
Whilst the Atlantic tides desire
They can't take, but they still persist

The train journey i talk about
In this land of mine
It runs from Glasgow to Mallaig
Its " The West Highland Line "

So my friends on the Soup
If you get the chance to travel
Visit my Braveheart land
And watch our beauty unravel

does it hurt

3

It is especially necessary to dream, twice,
To dance with Jessica Alba,
To eat a banana split one evening,
in a bar in Carpentras,
It is especially necessary to dream, twice,

The bosses make us sing,
Niagara Falls, dear Michelle,
Are more serious than men,

Women invent everything,
The kingdoms and their wise men,
To dance with Jessica Alba,
For dinner in Carpentras, with Jessica,
one must especially dream, twice.

Does it hurt 
To stop breathing? Mom,
Like a little music
Who stops suddenly,
Does it hurt?

Like a meal that stops,
You have to digest everything afterwards,
the dead eat snails,

Does it hurt?
When someone leaves you?
We don’t want to continue living,
Do we eat snails
When do you stop breathing?

She.Alba

Beautiful Siren from a distant sea
Doctor Donovan wrote of their Mastery 
Aquatic, seduction enchants me…

Merman disguised the Light in his eyes
Sang the songs that a heart finds nice
Extending a hand he unraveled his web
And my sister was there after her death
“Wana ride?” was the question he mimed
And I, tempted by his suggestive rhyme
Never hesitated, to enter his mind.

Past the coffee stained collar, I climbed.
Tracing races and faces in the wind
One thousand and One nights I’d spend
Immortal and naked on the ocean

Towers of power in the robes of men
Lighting the coast to see sailors home
Nixie was the name my mother mentioned
And Trixie was the dame 
...who bore little attention

The Merrow of the story, is in me.

.... The Scotch is vertical, and I’m a She.Alba….

Merlin, can you see the sight in my eYes?

Caledonia

Caledonia her laund is oor laund,
Caledonia her laund is ma laund
A laund wherr ithers ur walcome,
As we haud oot oor hand
In friendship an tak ye aw in,
As brithers fur aw that.

Caledonia we hailse you foriver,
Caledonia the braw kintre,
Whaur fowk ur aye at hame,
Wherr ithers feel richt at hame, 
Whaur affront is ne.er oor aim,
An deceit fur laund wi lea alane.

Caledonia ne,er unner Sassenach fit,
A laund fu o kemps  aplenty,
Free tae skail guid  rid bluid,
We urny  hinder tae scowth-and -roth
An will fecht tae uphaud oor richts.

A kintre o men free wi lealtie tae,
Auld alba caws tae us frae whiles bygane,
Wi sangs an ports fae the pipes ,
Filling the hairt wi  pride an courage,
An we will fechttae protect oor ain,
An free auld alba frae colonial pain.

Premium Member Only Black Roses Live Now - Act 1

Word has reached
A distant planet out their
Semaj, this ancient Celt
In ancestral despair

His droid Etto
Has bulletins relayed
The last human on earth
In final death display

Civilisation as he knew it
Has gasped its last breath
For the butterfly winged angels
Has left earth in death

For once again their desire
To gain the orb of life
Has left the world as he knows it
In death dying decaying strife

For weeks he travels 
To a world he once knew
In ancestral pilgrimage
Answers he pursues

He arrives through earths atmosphere
Human eyes will never see
He lands near Loch Torridon
Kingdom of the King Kane family

Whats left of his village
Bodies drained of their life
Children and the elderly
Man and his wife

For the very last time
He views his ancestral surround
For on these peat laden glens
Black Roses abound

Alba, his country
In death dying decay
As he speeds through its glens
Black Roses display

He reaches the lowlands
And its riches of soil
But nothing else grows
Black Roses spoil

Moments later
There is the sound of a sonic boom
Black clouds above separate
Lights appear through the gloom

ADORABLE And You Are Loveliness---

Adorable
El sol brilla debajo de tus hombros;
Hermosa cervatillo;
El pastoreo
Levantándose por encima del alba;

Y doy gracias a Dios por tu amabilidad;
Tus tiernos toques y cálida caricia;
Y le agradezco al Señor que siempre eres bendecido;

Una adorable
La lluvia nunca cae sobre ti;
Las flores vienen a olerte;
Pétalos en flor;

Y doy gracias a Dios por tu amabilidad;
Tus tiernos toques y cálida caricia;
Y le agradezco al Señor que siempre eres bendecido;

Tu eres encantadora
Y tu eres encantadora
Tu eres encantadora
Adorable one;
The sun-shines below your shoulders;
Beautiful fawn;
Grazing ;
Arising above the dawn;

And I thank God for your loveliness;
Your tender touches and warm caress;
And I thank the Lord always you are blessed;

One adorable;
The rain never falls on you;
Flowers come to smell you;
Petals blossoms;

And I thank God for your loveliness;
Your tender touches and warm caress;
And I thank the Lord always you are blessed;

You are loveliness
And you are loveliness
You are loveliness

As the wind rolls cold of the mountain plain
As the Hindu Kush rises like skyscrapers to Gods name
But these are not my mountains and the wind is not the same
So as my plane takes off im glad im headed hame

Back to the lowlands of the South and the Highlands of the North
Those crystal clear burns lochs and mountain streams
Back to the braes and the bens and the fresh mountain snow
Back to where the thistle and the heather grow

So who is proud to be Scottish? well that would be me
And what does Alba need? She needs to be free
So people rise up against centuries of tyranny
As a unified people chant were free

Premium Member Old Emerald Isle

coming out enchanting 
a harp playing 
bewitching music 
from an irish sea
from the mist of hibernia
entering a cold mystical island
a lonely teddy bear out in an ocean
dressed in her forty shades of green
her lush finery 
from the land of the leprechaun
king of the fairies

tales of a land of forever young in the fianna
magical blossoms shades her beauty
classical in her name eire
modern irish emerald green
jewel of her color
arising from the land 
of eternal winter

geographers strabo
pomponius melba
quoting describes a cold chilling land
inhabitated by a bunch 
of wild savages
who feast on the flesh 
of their dead fathers
despite the cold 
the grazing was so tasty 
very lush sweet 
that cattle exploded fat
if allowed to eat unchecked

in a new kingdom
penunnular broach
used to fasten her shawl
son of the high king
fiacha finnfolaidh
his father was overthrown
killed in a revolt 
by the king of ulster
tutathal's mother
who was daughter
of king of alba

britian at the time
because alba became
the name for scotland
later on fled to britain
with her son 20 years later
he returns to eire
defeating his father's enemies
turns in history

subduing the 
entire country
he became the high king
of tara 
there he conveyed
in a conference 
were he established
himself law in the land

he annexed territory
for each four provinces
creating central control
in the province of meath
four fortresses where built
one for each our green fields
span an irish republic

Premium Member Access To Excess

An ardent longing for the finer things ...
Vodka from eggs - bedrooms with wings.

Bugatti's and coffees topped with gold,
Armani, Brioni, and true absinthe, old.

Bottega Veneta or a Lanvin wool coat,
Yachts that are really just mansions that float.

Valets and limos and luxe high-rise suites,
Beds dressed in D. Porthault Jours de Paris sheets.

Bluefin sashimi, Kopi Luwak,
Yubari Melon, and real Dark To'ak.

Matsutake Mushrooms, Wagyu Beef,
South Devon Crab with fresh saffron leaf.

Almas Caviar, Bonnotte Potatoes,
White Alba Truffles, Canarian Tomatoes.

Heligan Pineapple, Densuke Black
Watermelon, sweet. In pocket, a stack.

Milan designed leather shoes and gloves -
Oh, I'm cursed, eternal, with such lavish loves!

So what is the claim, if extravagance deems?
I hope for tomorrow, and believe in my dreams.

For naught yet compares to my imaginings' wealth,
All the money on earth can't buy my good health.

So I dream, but I'm happy with all I've been blessed,
And MAYBE, in time ... fate will see to the rest.
