Premium Member Four Into Eight - the Silva Grail
Four of eight decades rest in the past
So fortunate but how long can this last
I’ve romanced, loved and married

Raising a family, I’ve worked hard
A successful career achieved without fear
I’ve traveled...

Windowpanes
An ancient river, centuries-old shops and restaurants steeped in a 2000-year history and

In Life’s old garden nations lived who all its fruits enjoyed,
While others longed in vain, while some the winter blasts destroyed;
Its trees are legion; some decay, While others flush with bloom,
And thousands still their birth...

Athens, quite a place, so full of mythology
Buenos Aires, in Argentina, a place I'd love to see

Dreams of Yellow Ashes
Dreams once hidden, now appeared,
dreams of an abandoned city,
distortions that mangled me
are my insolvable presentiments,
perhaps, they are just greetings
from hyenas in the night.

Oh, why I get them unbidden? 

It's streets glided into each other
like lifeless...

Woods, Great Place To Hide From Bullies
Beneath the soil lay our roots
Multi-legged insects walking on moss
Working hard to get the fruits
Like lost souls running to the cross
Or hungry new army recruits
With no care of profit or loss

We are the bugs
Commission on...

Sarajevo - Death Comes
For Sarajevo, death is never known,
to bring an end, to what the body feels,
in love or hate, together, or alone,
death has no mercy for one's last appeals.

Death never fails to bring the...

A wave that grows from deep inside of me
to bring me down I feel it start to grow;
its' only name--is called--anxiety,
where it comes from no one could ever know.

BALKAN REFUGEES
The smoke and guts come rolling through the hills
obnoxious to the senses, life of death;
exonerated from all debt and bills
we stand, and try to find a second breath.

All debits--liabilities are gone
