Long Hungrier Poems

Premise
The great poem by the italian poet Dante is the DIVINA COMMEDIA
I have tried to translate in english verses of INFERNO (HELL).
It was a very difficult task. 
I expect criticism.

When just the midway of my...

August ushered in a Rain storm
 lasting 2 days. Damian laid in bed
11 in the night listening to the pouring 
Rain beside Dolly. He touched Dolly
"Come to me Mrs. Me I need you
Delilah baby." Dolly...

Like water

I was the river
You were the sea
I dissolved into you
And thought I was free.
Out of the cage I flew
But landed on my knees 
As I tried to flee
The heavy clouds
And storms, of responsibility

Your love...

THE TENTH WAVE



The rain drops prick the skin of the sea
Tumble with the urchins in the water,
The black water, so heavy, tired--
Watching it tic tac toe in millions of tiny rings
Tic tac toe, three by...

Lonely slowly solely I trailed on a street
I looked back, forward, left and right and there was no one to greet
The street was narrow, long and seems to have no end
Very scary, I trembled, so...

THE PEOPLE’S REPRESENTATIVE

I remember, when he came to us,
When he started this political game,
Great things he promised us,
And he even swore, in God’s name,
That he will fulfill his word,
And so, he won our poor hearts.

I...

armadillo.  He wanted something of...

THE DUCKLINGS' POINT OF VIEW

The little child looked at us and smiled,
This job in the sun would be much fun,
We splashed sprightly,  he sat quietly,
Race had begun for the crumbs of a bun;

With our...

Sometimes I visit pro-anoretic 
things

Out of curiosity
Out of concern
A desire to relate?
A strange urge to study the 
sick.

Am I one of them?

But every time
The more thinspiration
Self-motivation
And self-hatred that I see,

The hungrier I get
The more I...

watching the news day by day
singing songs about robbing history
the spiders the size of a female breast
killing birds, i think in the southwest
Spiders eating people in Iraq
get bit by one and you get a flesh...

Wouldn’t it be wonderful, just for a day,
If I didn’t have to count all the calories as I stuffed them away.
Why? Can’t I eat just one Kit-Kat? Why do I have to eat two?
If I...

Come out and watch two baby dinosaurs having a match...
will they hurt each other or enjoy this experience as they stutter?
How long will it take for them until they become groggy and itch?
All kids love...

They fill the old stone tower,
Shadows dancing on the walls,
And the smoking pit befalls
Those who listen to their whisperings,
As to mortals they do call, 

For their figures are black magic
Which no mortal man may touch
With...

sometimes the more we eat the hungrier we are
hearing voices floating from afar
the missed songs of ancient ancestors
the youth we have given to the earth
the many skins that need to be unwrapped
to be mapped and...

In my dream, a wise old man reads my palm and then warns me of
apocalypse, sufficient turbulence to wake me up dizzy with sweat and fear.
God, where is your saving grace? I then notice the...

Deserted
By Kevin Robey
November 15, 2013

Shocked as hell I made it this far
Starving out here, the art is bizarre
Dancing around, the shadows taunt me
Like the sun blinding me until I can’t see

Can’t recall how long I’ve...

So much

Once I was so much bolder then I felt my heart break in two
Once I was so much colder then I realised I couldn’t make it through

Once I was so much clearer then colours...

The evening is quite different
...from the ones I’d begun to anticipate as certain
Today I has rained
Flock after flock of organised white birds
Soaring low above the dried up seasonal river to the unknown

Today the land isn’t...

Way down in the depths of my heart,
Is a name whose fame is seizing my soul.
Golden pools of piercing eyes,
Entwined with time and divide my thoughts 
Into flames
Till I am reeling times.
Your touch divined my...

a little bit of missing you goes a long, long way
a little bit of missing your kissing leaves me feeling gray
a little bit of wanting you makes me hungrier than you can perceive
just a little...
