and exhibiting ignorance with flames of literacy.
Reading without play decorates stupidity
I play the cheap...

and when
and over how long a climatic time period
and...

Tender Rose! watch tonight
I reach thee there, in a wondrous flight
Sighs, storms not any more
as wanton winds soften the roar.
Tearing apart the paths I 'll be

Tobruk  Siege

Rommel of the Blitzkrieg 
had Europe overcome
With the Stukas and dive bombing
And the Tanks that overrun

By the smoke and sea generated fog.

Her decks were laden with cannonballs,
Brought aboard to parley for the good Doctor,
Accused of being cruel to British...

Have you seen such a thing?
Heard it, tasted it just the same, 
found its rhythm, found its bang.
Only later to figure you forgot the name.

Does it make sense?
The reason why the whole world starts to fall apart
When the stars shine?
How the darkest hours are on the bathroom floor

All the pebbles greet 
Adoring the blackness of her beauty

of the past.

unbeaten,
where the visitors trample on
the old royal
footprints. An artillery reminds
the passers-by
of a bloody harvest. Tourists

All the splendors of...

Merging beautifully, all the visages and the mirages.
