So many people and the various sores
Intoxicated in such a way my eyes,
That wanted open to crying their doors.

But Virgil told : “What for you look this guise?
Why now your sight is so carefully brought
Down...

In hell is called Malebolge a site
Completely made of ferrous color stones  
As almost all the rim around looks quite.

Of the malignant field the middle zones
Are the seat for a well much wide and...

everything Hitler did 
in Germany was legal.”

Sailing Neath the Charles Bridge

Such history flows beneath this bridge
And all that have walked on it
So many pass its statues walk
And think so little of it.

From Gabbatha, before the judgment seat,
a winding, tortured road: Golgatha's end.
His flesh in shreds, he staggers on His feet,
rough timbers grate excoriated skin.

The lines from Jesse's root are drawn by thorns,
the precious blood, in rivulets,...

Three loud taps woke me from my sleep
My time was over, for there was a contract I had to keep...

On a shattered pebble beach my kernel,
becomes this dervish dancing to the maniacal symbol rash tune,
of inchoate monsoon grass beat timpani,
that’s dimly frowned on by sonic virtuoso,
but terms like briny carrageen sea sweep gain purple...

Those times with the loads of books,
Heart filled with smiles at the age of sixteen
Habitual thinking about love at night in routine
Without having boyfriend tickled pink for every Valentine
Top grade at the level of fascination...

Recall how anticipation of this food caused a queasy stomach,
You would have given anything to avoid...

RUNNING ROOFTOPS TO RUINATION

Long Island had raised me but the island wasn’t long enough
And everyday I had upper-middleclass b******t to rebuff
Day after day I’d stride the stairs to the roof of a building where the...

The strange world of mine, compels, me to look up,
To observe all the worthy, man-made stuff;
The table-top, appears so clean, from my high seat,
When grounded, a friendly spider in a cobweb, greets.

How I wish, to...

I’m striding with my jacket, you turn off the rifle
You lead me by the hand, because I can’t say so
You say you don’t love me, but you pull me close
Early morning, I trail your footsteps

Cold smiles,
cadaver touch
Whatever love you had for me,
now ain’t much
My tender heart still not yet tough
In-bed pleas to a deaf shoulder
get covered with stone silent rebuff
You flaunt your affairs openly,
with no regard for my feelings
You...

against the angry
river

it down just like
the fierce
Looking masked
spirit who was drunk
to rest.
Rebuff my tears and
love 
I will understand
your pains.
Listen to my heart
pounding heavily in
pain
Pleading for mercy
and grace which you
hung...

When once a lovelorn callow swain,
Heartbroken by a maid's rebuff 
Sought balsam for his heart's deep pain, 
Of female wiles had had enough, 
Grave listener at the local pub,
Sat Tom inured to pangs of love,...

You are the morning glory, beauty and virtue,
Mind and soul symbolically personify
Your image send relief to ease my longing soul,
I can hear your silence subdue lonely voice

We reject them that...
