Premium Member Translation of Dante's Hell Canto Xv
Now we along one of hard rims are brought;
And a thin spray on the  brook is fixed, 
So shield to rims and water is begot.

As Flemings, Cadsand and Bruges bewixt,
Fearing the high waves pouncing...

Decades of a formula that only he knew about it and drew,
Cascades of his artwork came to a head in his last years,
Glissades of a swan in a lake that only a handful had seen,
Tirades...

Inherited, Everlasting, Bountiful
inherited

bountiful 

there is no
shining sun
because it is not 
the sun’s turn
to shine. 
instead these stars 
glisten
and sparkle
from heavens 
we stretch our arms
and faith
to touch
and shine down
on this earth,
this divine planet,

Freshly lays anew for each breath that one appear,
The subtle ripple spreads on a course that favors,
Fills open space and need to flow o'er layers,

IN A NOWHERE LAND

I feel like a crazy, mad woman,
chafed and losing my patience.
Feeling so bad, ready to explode
or needing desperately to explore
and get lost to point of no return
or to find a nowhere land.

Would You Change

Would you leave it alone,
Would you make a different choice,
On who you let come and go,

Would you change your child hood dream,
To let others be a star,

They thought, ‘cos i objected to medicine’s lady, 
But my parents were both a malady, 
To medicine’s elegance and height.

13.2
“The body is strained by practices
The tongue tires of scripture
The mind numbs with meditation
Detached from all this,
I live as I am”


The matrix of in-form body consciousness 
Employs limited bandwidths of vibration
Perceiving with defective awareness
Interpreting in...

Popping sweet tarts like a drug addict pops their pills

Kudos To Time
nothing solidifies a movement
like the commercialization &
exploitation of its members---
watch them be plastered, 
nameless & stirring in the moment
as if next year will be different---
for this year’s 
“TIME magazine’s person of the year” is
“the protestor”---

Land of the Free, Home of the Enslaved
Hive mind 
behind.
Recognize 
the sign.
A different train
to align.
Travel alone.
Taking time.
Beware,
riptide.
Changing clime.
Soon,
hunters blind,
won't hide,
what they want.
What you have,
inside.
Nothing sacred.
Secrets.
What's had,
confide.
Divulge 
what's missed.
No sanctum
clarified.
Transparency 
will be
verified.
One man
island,
rarified.
Forcing narrow,
they preach
the wide.
Actions
justified.
In turn,
hang
the spy.
Freedom
rescind.
It's all
a lie.
Clipped wings.
Our Eagle

Zealots are totally incapable of any emotion other than rage. It is an unalterable law that people who claim to care about the human race are utterly indifferent to the sufferings of individuals.

I write my essay on friendship, kind of brief,

They soon start to take an upturn shape as I look in deep.
I soon dread what I vision in within the darkness that drips.

Happy Day of the Year
Be the beauty that dwell to spread, 
For all to share colorful moments. 
Be the cheers that spring to yield, 
Good laughter to birth inner peace. 

Let crudeness not teach beauty's value,

Gray Horizon
Besieged souls fight up their way 
against a pile of bodies in lay. 
Hearts tremble in disarray 
as the horizon turns to gray. 

On the ground, the children scream 
as the quake shatters their dream....

Soft, subtle whispers of conscience within
They burn, upturn, compelling doublethink 
Redeem hermit, soul from possible sin

Senses five immerse us in outer din
Severing thus from God, our divine link 
Soft, subtle whispers of conscience within

A course-correction knife was plunged too late.
A smile was still, upon her lips, that date.

Clueless, for most of life, the cherries, green.
Her shoulder-bluffs and high-peak cheeks are seen.

She stands five feet, barely a statue-bold.
Appears quite...

Sadim touch, I must say. Is this upturn, yet, bad?
Didn't Midas' touch become, ultimately, sad...?

Yet, isn't the Midas episode an eidos...?
