One would find Victory, the other, leave this place,
light and dark in the eternal battle.
Alahsar, of God's light,
Salahmar, of dark's evil joys,
which of...

Liberation of Paris (August 26, 1944)

Who would have thought
To see American soldiers
Under the Arc de Triomphe
Marching along Champs Élysées,
In the Liberation of Paris;
When a short while ago
German soldiers' goosesteps
Thumped on the avenues,
Filling Parisian hearts with...

Olympic fire burns, burning bright nights

The Seine flows with dreams, dreams flow fast
Flowing with...

In the shadows of the city, where the Ganges flows,
A silent cry rises, where justice seldom shows.
The night was endless, heavy with despair,
Yet the dawn holds a promise that now feels unfair.

normally filled with life and love, 
Mothers...

The origins of light born through the dark velvet,
Linger in the outer stratospheres of air.
Reaching out to the cosmic bodies connecting,
Pure sources of energy.

I am what you see
I am just me
Student of life
Trying to avoid any strife
As I walk my way
No where do I wish to stay
Same thing every day

Songs of Louis
Capart
-by Bob Atkinson

voice of sentiment

contentment

road

ample farms of crops

City of Light still
inspires

six story limit

And I did not expect it,
but in the quietest of moments,
I saw a star rush down to meet me in my cold walled city of light.
And though my life has been...

I watch the rain flow backwards,
back up into the sky.
I was soaking wet 
and now I am dry

it makes no sound.

The flowers cry,
tears joining...

With water channels stretching for infinity

But with one difference while in Venice people travel by boat
The one used...

Polished shoes click on the city’s grind,

where people go out on a Friday night with

I'll whisk you off to Paris 
I'll even fly the plane 
There'll only be one passenger 
And that one has your name

High above the ocean 
Towards...

 No betting odds among dawn and twilight,

Despotic Dynasty 
Dead leaves of thoughts scrape along the asphalt of subjugation,
but whatever we do we will not climb the mountain of surrender.
There was a moment of freedom, a spring before the righteous, 
those who...

In a city of light

where they go off  suddenly

then a hissing thunderous sounds

of creatures ravage the streets

pa pa pa... fear summons

the hearts of the inhabitants

like the doomsday

people seek their gods favor

they wail bitterly and...
