Premium Member Oldest Museum In Iraq

Oldest museum was built in Iraq
Built by Babylonian princess – fact.
No one knows her name.
She was just a dame.
If she’d been male, they’d have kept track.

Premium Member Tammuz God of Springtime Plants

Tammuz is mythical God of springtime plants.
Garden vegetables praises you in rants.
God of the flower,
God of most power.
Makes most pleasant Babylonian chants.

Premium Member Hope

A labyrinth of desire
Empty by the missing genie
Into the realm of reality
Justify by a Babylonian logic
That all dreams come true
Close your eyes
The expectation of elusive joy
Slithers away into the illusion of
                     Hope.

Hope is the distraction from responsibility.

In Every Fold

every fold
every curve
deep mystery
green verve

as the eyes
roam the summits
beauty turns up
shapes allure

waves rising
clouds on mounds
waves descend
fogs in the waist

ascent and descent
an exciting dance
once over
a deep trance

uphill journey
downward return
cups of tea
thorns and flowers

deep in the gorges
Babylonian darkness
your and mine
for a bath in light

Saint Monroe Towers

I'm rolling by these towers 
that swerve, these towers
that turn,
twisting, slow, into Mississauga
skies, I watch 
new windows
burn with light, burn
with life, yet I 
still remember when you were 
hardly higher than a child, then
ascending, rising
canonized from flat Ontario ground,
and now
the miracle is complete,
St. Monroe alive
for thousands-

"...a landmark of a town
         bathed in round Babylonian crystal..."
