for clear faith ...
that is noble belief
Idiots die

Heroes die and duty calls
Martyrs are men who have lost it all
fighting senselessly in political brawls...

Sunbathing martyrs
Bask in the inclination
Of August sunlight---
Alms of sunrays penetrate
Extinguishing the sunblock.

Majestic temples but nobody cares,
Preaching martyrs on past glories,
Brainwashed children from embellished stories,...

The road
is
       Death's open yawn
epicentre
of strange treaties-
mist of starched martyrs
in trajectory's startled
steep,
mangled contortions
in frozen screams...

In the hotel room
You feel more at home

You sleep better without

Without anything
Without everything

Without real life

Depriving yourself 
As martyrs often do...

Martyrs  better not be late, or they won’t get a bloody harp.   	Brian Strand

weep for the mothers laying in the fields
between the lilac bushes
their sighs tomorrow never yields
cry for the princesses dying in the water
flowing somewhere down the lively stream
they died too, soon as tragic martyrs...

Indeed, Martyrs do not die
They are in the God’s care
Their deeds of upholding honors
Engraved in the bosom
In the thought of the youth
They are lights that remind
Until the next generations

Affection brings comfort ,displays exquisiteness,
Fascinates   generosity, houses ideal justice, kind-hearted
like Martyrs needed occasionally, professing quietude,
Rebuking savagery towards underclass villeins whereas
x-rated youths zinger.

of arro-glance

of in-dignity

still! still like the grave
of the masses of hungry-sters

Mother


  Most splendoured caregiver
        Main pillar of support
  Million mouths crave her meals
         Martyrs life if need be
  Measure of love so large
        Makes one feel very tall
   Mortal version of God!

I carried it, I married it
A jelly in a fish bowl
Wobble, wobble, wobble
What does it do?
Just dances, barely moving feet from the ground
Lazy lump
Shady stump
Giving martyrs a bad name!
Childish thing, making matters into a big scene
Making nothing out of nothing
My jelly in a fish bowl...

Bear witness to those dying men

Conscripted fate by poison pen

The scorched remains of foe and friend

Their ashes scattered on the wind

Pawns sacrificed without a pause

Death descends from steel wings and claws

More martyrs of a nation's cause

Forged and fired by enacted laws...

Arise! Our hands to the desert skies
Now our ritual has begun
With million voices for a million lies
And a confounding tongue
Our honey, we have trapped flies
On spider's web, These martyrs hung
The lion's roar and the lamb's cries
A mighty wind through our city sung
Fallen! Like Icarus to our demise...

Her eyes look like diamonds
against black holes in the sky--

I am recounting
my random decisions,

and... resting my mind.

I've reached the secret
in this 
warm,
unlit 
dreamscape.

Martyrs shine bright
in the milky moonlight...

as laughter's echo 
rides off 
on a 
faraway breeze....

Here you lie
On a base
An eternity on 
a pillow case

The bringer of joy
and love to all
The start of a holiday 
In love we shall fall

How did you become the man
known as Valentine
Start a holiday
That would spur 
quite a time

A mere a skull 
stuck in a box
A martyrs death
You have surely fallen...

feet marching to the heavens
where dreams and martyrs dwell
where freedom plays its fife
in the rhythm of darkness

chains and whips begone
rituals of rope and poplar trees as well
these cudgels are no longer my legacy

on shoulders of the past
this heir who knows
how I counter could be my lot
could be my hell...

Look For Beauty,
You will find it
Rooted in sorrow 
Clinging to the vines of pain

Seek it in the sands
Blowing in the ruins of insane
Treasured eyes of darkness
Spoken from the full lips of light

Touch the dark caverns
In the curves of sinister delight
Crest her hills to the palace of martyrs
In the house of 1001 nights...
