Ibis

Idolized by pharaohs, monarchs and kings;
Bird of the wetlands, marshes and swamps.
Interesting forager with long bill and stilted long legs;
Sacred icon of the dynasties of yore.

Premium Member Unlucky Instigator of the Pandemic

fuchsia rose was captured in the early sixteenth century
her legend was passed through many dynasties,
then storytellers got bored with her, and forgot her story
she waited for her chance; twinkling and dazzling newbies
enticing one to release her from her Pandora prison
the unlucky instigator of the pandemic

LetsRun till the End

Our rapid breaths
Rise and fall
In dreams, in all our waking hours
Empires and Dynasties 
Till the end of the Earth
Let's run till we meet the moon
And dangle our swinging legs from the horizon line
You are my happy, my saving grace
Smiling as the morning sun creeps up over the city
Take my hands, never let me go

central billing equal ceilings tapestry of environmental surges kaleidoscope of colors blurred mismatch on its way it's a rehearsal for dynasties tragedies I am eloquent for the disasters, that lies before me man who am I to stand in the way of clemencies-entrapmemt

Long Gone Tomorrows 8x8

As I search through the centuries
exploring ancient dynasties
This idea is sown in my head
To see the lives they led, instead
of records, names and dates and times
Imagining their storylines
Dreaming of their loves and sorrows 
Picturing long gone tomorrows

The Castle On a Hill

The Land Of Royal Monarchs


from the plains we see
the land of royal monarchs 
perched on a hilltop

its architecture
draws us to the heritage 
of the blue blooded 

secret lives of kings
unveiled flamboyancy with
queens and courtesans

heirs of dynasties
dreamed treacheries and murders 
as game for the throne

princely monument
in prime was bereft of love
now gardens tourists

Letter Sealed Kiss

Tartaric acid rain of the lost calligraphy Peels to melt the running emotions Drains clog beneath dynasties Commerce to no one in seas Pourtant je vois ceasefire See a spark of defiance Harlequin of belle dame misery Catatonic brutality ends within me Phantom of these nigh-mares Shriek away stares orbs no retinas Telltale sen em bras lambent Am I dying nevermore Mourning my own demises gavotte masquerade Is that a shimmer of light on my finale

Premium Member The Beast Within

I've seen anger and power morph into hate. And nations crumble under siege, when religious zealots free the beast within. And the blood flows red, as Death demands an exorbitant toll for the fallen soul's passage into heaven. The very wealthy build their dynasties by grinding the bones of naive idealist and the pious, into the mortar for their monuments and crypts of stone. The apocalypse, a Martyr’s dream, or reality’s nightmare?

Pink City

Burnt-out myths in the old city
are stitching the lips of people.
Pink walls smell like blood.

Priest is dumb, hoisting the headless
deity on throne. Marigolds
are soaked in flowing tears.

Innocent wheels riding against blast,
stand still to measure
the half-life of seizures.

Cult was spreading in place,
fingers and cells Dynasties inheriting
the bleached fathers.

The ages rot under the sculptors.
We walk on water, wordless, sightless
for the thin hope.
