Long Eldorado Poems

Bolsonaro was president of Brazil from 2019 to 2023.
Former army officer and right-wing nationalist who revered Brazil's 1964–1985 military rule.
Jair Bolsonaro sought to arm a disarmed nation.
To a place where gun ownership meant freedom.
Anti-establishment populism...

Forge on ever foolish
Cucumbers in your relish
Black Smiths and Peasants 
get into the darkness, out of the Parish


The Red Horse gallops, polls, bearers, of holes
Get out of its way, as the
rumors gather Communist ships

Skagway, Alaska in the late 1890s was sure a rowdy place alright!
It was seethin' with humanity a-raisin' hell all through the day and night!
'Twas the gateway to Chilkoot Pass beyond which lay Klondike gold!
Why! ...

And the leaves in the trees no longer brown, now fall;
Everyday people having everyday things
Ring out the old bring in the new listen to the birds sings

ELDORADO-LIFE IS A JOURNEY
Vijay K Koduri MD

In twilight, as the day takes its bow,
Longer and shorter, dances the shadow.
Living out barely on daily wages!
Loving those daring high stake wagers!
A mere cry in the cradle for...

Can you feel the room react
as it feels my glow

Kristalle aus Eis und Salz
überziehen den See rot
im Abendlicht.
Am Horizont erstrahlen die Anden
im Mantel aus Purpur und Gold,
Eldorado  der  Ewigkeit.
Die Andengipfel hüten ihr Eis
wie wertvollen Schatz.
In der Hochebene am See
suchen Flamingos vereinzelt nach...

Oh, give me a home where majestic buffalo roam,
Where antelope graze and rushing streams foam!
A place where snow-capped mountains reach for the sky,
And gentle winds waft through blue spruce with soothing sigh!
Oh, give me a...

Taking Coleridge at his word,
I hied me to a rural scene
To leave behind the madding herd
For where Titania reigns the queen.

Ah! ‘Tis hard to wax romantic,
Though bees hum and boughs do sway,
To close the mind...

Eldorado 

In Sokoto's land of ancient pride,
A miracle unfolded, your birth inside,
A mother's vision of a daughter dear,
Yet, fate's design wove a different thread, a boy appear.

God's blessings flow like a river wide,
Unfathomable, His wisdom...

In my dreams
I am limitless
Laws of nature
Are suspended
Force of gravity
Is amazed.

In my dreams
I can fly
Visas are
Not required
Immigration officials
Are bemused.

In my dreams
I am cashful
Bureau De change
Is short-changed
Demand and supply
Are hereby suspended.

In my dreams
I fly to Eldorado
Desires...

There's simply
No magic in life!

Yeah, there's no 
magic password "Open Sesame"
Nor an Aladdin's magic lamp,
There's no Midas touch
Nor any Philosopher's Stone,
There's no crystal ball
No magic wand
No flying carpet
Nor a magic mirror;
There's no magic mantra
Nor an...

Eldorado as I gazed
warily upon.  A dreary
November sky, scarlet
tears of Autumn.

A passionate Venus
glimmered brightly 
amongst the stars, granting
my soul's calling.

Begging for forgiveness,
fulfilling sorrow's blessing.
The night's mistress did 
beckon forth.

Triumph as ArchAngel
Michiel's trumpet did
sound. ...

We took the morning by storm
Just another day in Maine
Until we met the Colorado Kid
He sat back on the beach
Holding remains of his death
His blue lips showed his last breath 

Seagulls on the whim
Never knowing...

Tired, weary eyes
Seen enough to rest forever
Time yet short spent
Longer bleak years yet to face
Do loaded ears hear?  

So, float in ecstasy, Eldorado
Hard long labor of the past punish
Reality of failed plans torment
Roads known...

Not all inherit a father's noble name,
Some learn deceit, others theft, and shame.
But I, blessed with a virtuous sire,
Inherited values that my heart desires.

My children will learn to reverence age,
With humility and sobriety, they'll engage.
