A solar halo

Or the cross blazing
Burning for roman bloodshed 
Who in truth was Cain scheming

Like The Roman God Janus' coin
A good side, a bad side
A past, a future
One must embrace both in
Someone we love

maybe a lost art

I have lost that knowledge

In this Gordian Knot
Spread to the land of Busoga.

He named it Gaias, and felt like a jade
While he cried,
Cause mommy died.
His wife hired yet another maid.

Who penned a scholarly tome
She spoke to the pope
Getting just the right dope
For a chapter on St. Peter's dome.

On a bus too crowded for kipper
With pressure exerted
My little thing spurted
What seemed to be from the Big Dipper!

Who invented the first garden Gnome
He thought it looked cute
In its Christian suit

There was an old man from Saratoga
Who always wore an old Roman toga
Spice of parties they’d shout
Showing bony knees he’d flout
Till he froze to death in North Dakota.

The Roman Emperor Who Had Nothing To Cluck About

In the annals of Rome the least glorious
was an emperor named Honorius.
Though Rome's plight was alarming
he spent his time chicken farming,
a pursuit which made him notorious.

Seen In Her Visions - Roman Priestess's

Femina spiritus.
Breezy skirted.
There above it; in name of Spring
World, perfuming.
Of rose, iris embroidered
Back and forth sway.
In who's temple, to Flora's own
Prayful wait shown.

Roman Summer

I’m weakened by the hazy heat,
But locals bustle in the street,
And all around me lively talk.

The tarmac melting as I walk,
I see the artefacts of Rome -
And guess it’s pouring down at home.

Once a gay Roman bored Emperor
Sailed Near East as great Conqueror
Queen there married brother
Was this a great bother?
He married Queen to have the Other!

The Roman Guard and His Brother

(At the Tomb) 

I never told my brother, 
That the women did anchor, 
That the scene was blacker, 
Than a black sheep bleater, 
Because I was the archer, 
Of the delinquency, the snatcher, 
So I was not an asker, 
To my mother or brother.

Like a sparkling Roman candle -
  Red beardtongue dots the canyon.
Oh, what handsome bugles!
  That decorate the trail along

Where pebbles were brushed aside
  And sway with the breeze -
Not to elicit surprise
  But to befriend the greenery.

Ancient building, columns define.   Eden’s forever garden hidden.  Indelibly juxtapositioned kaleidoscopic lake maintains numerous orchidaceae.  Porticos’ quaint, reclused, sequestered.  Tetrastylon unseen villa’s with xystus, Yogananda’s Zen.

San Roman

sad girl,
sad love;
same old
unkempt 
memories
of hers. 

her eyes
her hair;
both shine,
flat black
exactly
like film.

in this,
in that;
no more-
nor less
forgotten
is she.

stillbirth,
stilllife;
today
the real
tragedy
begins.

Ghost of Vulcan

A world imagined
A phantom circling the sun
Veiled by her white glare 
Pulling on Mercury's heels 
Pulling on mankind's veiled minds 

About the hypothetical planet Vulcan, which was theorised to exist as the nearest planet to the Sun in the 19th century.

Synonymous of The Roman legion,
Is strength and patriotism,
Courage put to swords!

Determined bloodshed, belligerent war,
Humanity stands the gaff,
Victory or failure ?
