BEFORE THE MIRROR
Sometimes, I sit on my sofa
Pondering on why war, poverty, hatred
and anguish has become a comforting bliss.
They say life is an unending quest; is it?
They say true love lasts...

Vision
I’m a treasure more valuable than gold,
Once a heart stops beating – after the breath stops
Breathing, I am the most cherished possession,
Worth more than expensive jewelry or the best assets
More important, I am – than...

ANYTE OF TEGEA TRANSLATIONS
ANYTE OF TEGEA
Stranger, rest your weary legs beneath the elms;
hear how coolly the breeze murmurs through their branches;
then take a bracing draught from the mountain-fed fountain;
for this is welcome shade from the burning sun.

Wretched souls glaring, free them if she could
From agony of this malignant hell.

Such An Eerie Sound To Be Heard
Such an Eerie Sound to Be Heard
Continuation of "Farewell" October 2008.
The night has come upon us,
The fog is rolling in,
Crickets have stopped their chirping,
IT's coming to get us again.
The last time we were lucky,
We got...

Bird of Prey
Bird of Prey
On Banyon Lake, where waterfowl dwell,
The night was tranquil and held no fear.
Until came a sound ascended from Hell.
I heard a menacing cry as I drew near.
Upon the shore no wave did break.

Two Spirits Watching the Ocean of Turmoil
Life is like being a passenger on a luxury ocean liner
That is sails across a Sea of Turmoil.
Passengers feel safe by putting their faith in the sturdy construction of the ship’s steel...

Entering the Fields of My Childhood
Entering the fields of my childhood around two,
overjoyed by the vibrant flowers that gently lulled
and dispersed their gentle aroma into the noon;
I passed under the old balconies with flower-pots painted
in russet as the leaves...

There's No Escape From Certain Things
Checking the lights on the dashboard when they flash and stay red:
it's the oil that needs to be changed or the engine that requires
maintenance, and in frigid temperatures who would venture outside and get frostbites?

Letter to my friend - 4
No snow around, the cold bites deep,
The fields are sad, where childhood used to leap.
I’ll write a letter to my friend Temirjan,
Please hand me my pen, dear wife, if you can.
Sweet feelings...

The Triangular Prims
The pyramids are the triangular prims of the Egyptian desert,
monumental in height, and unsurpassable in endurance...
works of the hands of the whip-lashed Hebrew slaves;
no grief-striken faces were ever carved into them,
but those voices still recede...

Making Things Happen
Never lose hope because of what they say
Never be afraid of what intent they may lay
You have to be a man enough to wear the crown
So no matter how hard seems the battle, move on

along old ghostly trails with shadows glowing bright
Never wavering or in doubt, heart blackest black

Sonnet
Marigolds around the marigold round
roses and roses around
unveiling scarlet drops
echoing voices where
raindrops fall
a rally of imperfection
painted into ..
tapped touches
sudden whirling whispers
secretively drew blood
prickly feistiness thriving in
haze spun surroundings..
twinkling doves suffocating in
an angelical sisyphus halo
tender moonlight bringing
an eunoia...

Haunted Highlands
Deep within the highland mists, white heather, bright adorning,
I last beheld those flaring eyes, though tender as the borning.
I'd gone a-hiking, early snow, 'midst headland slopes and fells -

Too Little Too Late
Know of a lady
Who patiently waited
To at last be seen
Seen and heard
Given the merest scraps
Biding her time
Time she watched fly
as the swiftest bird
Always warmed with coffee in her bed
that he chilled from his own...

Fate of the Faithful

The orb of light that once shone through
Confounding the darkness permeating time;
Now the boiling pot of a dark brew
Of a sinful repulsive and slimy grime
The lighthouse that once guided ships
With the luminescence...

Through the Gospel
The folds have heard his gentle voice,
In which I was yet to hear.
They say it is still and small;
A sound to comfort the tiers.
Had I been left forsaken,
Built along my grievances?
The shadow of a lost...

Eternal Search My Phoenix Quest
I'm over the depression, the death
of that fragment of soul irrevocably attached to her;
I'm over the agony that followed
her swift and final betrayal.
The pain disappears, fades in the face
of life's timeless worries and delights;
that part...

Quest For Silence
Oh, I'd share it with you if I could;
Gift wrap and send it for your greater good;
Put it on the swiftest sunray; honest I would.
I'd do anything to halt the chatter you've been hearing;
