Thoughts of wisdom.

Now grandpa was a guy
A man I held up high
Everything he told me
I knew it was no lie.

While lying in his bed
Waiting for his God
To claim that he was...

Stepping back....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From this once virginal canevas

Finally, at last, smiling to Myself

It is done...."Sempiternalis"

All of  My being, poured

Into it's seraphic setting ~

Brushed, every infinite detail

Centurials it seemed; over and over

Covering;...

A fresh aroma of the winter roses bore upon
The break of the day light, the first ray hold upon
By the droplets beaded over the floral leaf
Mulled over by the sight so mimetic
The life glazed over...

this my pain
that never really goes away
has become so much
another part of me

like the changing moon phases

this vicious cycle of hurt in me
just goes round and round
like a ring
and it...

Kiss me longingly long 
Kiss me, kiss me longingly long

Translated from Georgian into English by Manana Matiashvili	

All that figurative language 
I’ve acquired from you:
“Life is tough”,
“Sweet is the soul”,
“Sky’s the limit”,

Like the many blue skies.

So many times,
Oh how I've tried to find a way to...

Searching I was for a good riff,
Maybe like in 'Locomotive Breath',
So I called up my old pal Biff
But a cold, he had caught a death.

Now with Biff down and out,
I was left to go it...

Island, I can see you - distant fine pearl.
We drop harbor anchor, music greets us.
Leis are given by a native grown girl.

Hostel makes us welcomed showing no fuss.

Embarassing
and swiftly simple
Easy... 
only a few
quips and foul jokes
swiped your soul
and you had no idea
you rubbed shoulders
with a mental giant
whose gout got out of hand
did that guy really ask
to be stabbed with a
toothpick?
I already computed...
