Long Babylonians Poems

Like Hannibal we crossed the pass and crossed 
   the Alps (okay, the Brynderwyn Hills) 
and a bridge too far on north-west passage.

Dreams of The Battle of Thymbra, Lydian-Persian War

In the midst of a battle I awoke thrown
walking over the crimson red dead.
Found and drew the shaft from solid stone
standing on soil blood soaked in red!

It started off the strangest thing,
like some tale out of Hollywood,
the famed ‘Arc of the Covenant,’
with stone tablets, cherubs, and wood.

Believed long lost to history,
destroyed by Babylonians,
the box that housed the commandments,
back when Israel was...

Sire she's been sighted
two miles south of Sinai,
our sentinels say she has brought a river,
her baggage train stretches into the ancient sands,
the envoys of her retinue spoke of marvelous gifts,
beasts and creatures of the Orient

Long before Babylonians, Assyrians, Persians and Greeks, 
Before Hammurabi, Sargon and Ramses ruled 
The world below their feet;
Before biblical scenes and mythological dreams 
Of magical carpet rides,

A whisper in the night


 Even though
The night is mine

Like the African doe
Who hides behind 
The bushes in the nighttime

In the Kigali

In the realm of ancient lore, I yearn to reside,
To bear a deep dive into tales untied.
Achilles, a warrior with a heart of fire,
Hector, noble and valiant, to whom I aspire

Skyscrapers of glass 
and steel with spiky spires rise
over the brick houses
covered by their wide shadows.

The powerful amber sun 
over the Equinox
makes them glisten

in which dwells
a pretentious god,
not the God I...

The night sky was a glittering sea.
They called them all stars 
But (including Mars)
These “observers” were startled to see…

That charting their heavenly courses
And imagining bears, crabs and horses
They moved thru the...

Contested Crossroads

THE HINGE OF HISTORY


The hinge of history swings in all directions 
As the happenings of the past are written down.

For a Greek mythic giant.
