Of swirling darkness;
Where eternal night awaits
To sate upon purest innocence
Besides an open grave!
When the gravity of your perils
Be foully whispered within
Dismayed
And abject earshot;
Where salvation for despairing souls
Be so...

PurgatorioThe letter of law condemned,

Dancing curtains of luminescence,

Climbing from perdition to penance,
This locus of light and shade,
Tells of hands that...

Through the prism of the soul, a mysterious alliance of reflections is boundThrough the prism of the soul, a mysterious alliance of reflections is bound,

Streams of betrayal trickle over the skin, constructing ruby maps
In ten directions, to be...

From the National Poet of Slovenia In a Language People Understand - the Ruins of the Ancien RegimeFarewell, then, AUKN boss,
The next this year makes three.
By the time they find a substitute,
Slovenes will be at sea.

As every week, balances grew bleak:
He weighed merits and...

Ship In a BottleEight bells.
Starboard watch.
Tightened up another notch.
Holy upheaval rages ‘neath a cathedral sky.
Losing way as the wind whips up the spray.
Stormy tormentors rubbed salt in my one good eye.
Felt the tension in the rigging.
Sensed the strain...
