Quia Poems | Examples


Iustus Quia

Just because you can
doesn’t mean you would
Just because you might
doesn’t mean you should

Just because you want
doesn’t mean you need
Just because you look
— doesn’t mean you see

Mystic Love

                                      "Quia Amore Languao."

You taste to me of honey and lemon,
Mystic Love.
I feel you like the crest of a wave,
Like sun on a lake,
Like a field filled with birds,
Rising as one into the sky.

You are rooted in me.
As I in you.
You burn me with a soft fire, 
Tending the flames,
Your eyes soothe like the breezes of May,
Your skin a lotus 
Soft, white, fire beneath.

What joy the sound of your breath stirs in me!

In those cliffhanging moments when all is Rapture,
When you tremble on the Peak
And begin to descend,
The sound of your sigh
Sweeter than the stars' songs.

Lastly, the kiss.
Our lips light upon one another
With a rising joy like that of the dawn; 
Parting, they part insatiate.

You show me life in the purest of forms,
Letting me give; giving in return
Your smiles of understanding.

Small wonder I adore you,
My Mystic Love.

Because I Can

Ibi , culpa non est
Quia hoc modo non solum superest,
Dixit non restrictione

Et tandem sanavit dolor meus
Let me poetemur sine ban
Quia est indefinita

Et quod relinquetur mirabile escape
Hoc erit questus
Denique , non permanens, restrictione

percutiam
in finem
Nam cum summa felicitas legere omnibus dicam?

Before the Devil

I was buried fifteen years ago.
During that ferocious Harmattan-
And the call of Beelzebub's ban.

How I baked beneath the Earth!
And went for days, famished and unfed.

Now I start to understand
That there are more souls at the devil's bail
Than at Heaven's command-

When I stared at Lucifer in the eyes
I saw the dark joy in his smiles:
Then he took my putrefying hands,
Kissed them and whispered through his fangs:

'''Homines perfectionis perdidisse
In caelo non sunt reversi.
Isque, si eorum peccatis,
Non erit hic spatium
quia in novissimis temporibus.
Quam luctus in caelum!'''

And as the worms dropped from my chest
And the flesh burnt like pest
I felt within me that emptiness and cold
As a power seized my quakery soul.

I Am Legion

My name is Legion: for we are many
Legio mihi nomen est, quia multi sumus

You who have the gift of life 
you who have the gift of love
by Gods grace grant me the best of all gifts
the gift of a merciful death

A man might have immortal life and wander 
for all the generations of man till reaching the edge of doomsday
let me find harbour to see again with longing the lives of those who grow old and die
Of those who die

He who knows our thoughts will he not hear our words

For They Are Many and Legion Is There Name

standing at the edge of no more time
I see the bottom of the grave 

it looks, of mud and cold without no rest in place 
malted ice flakes dancing in snow-ish rain  

i will not move 
no i can not move 
fear has taken over me

how cold 
how sad 
i do not know how to fight
this demon, who is not a demon 
but the DEVIL him self
he has a head 
with eyes and ears 
who do not get caught
for They Are Many 
and i am only one 

trust no one....
is not just a saying 
but a truth to live by 
for they know the price of blood 
and will sell out all who get in their way 

"My name is Legion, for we are many"
"Nomen mihi Legio est, quia multi sumus"(In Latin)
