soaking in the hot pool at Breitenbush
watching young lovers passing on the trail

It seems that no romantic poetry like hers
Her romantic sweet writes are on the top

In this cold windy autumnal evening,
If your beloved is here that would be fantastic 
A cup of hot tea is really appreciated

Egypt

Murky of echoes as ancestors surround them
Dusty whilst heat stuns my skin and breath
The sun settles as the pyramids carve me a memory

Deep looking at heaven, contemplate the sky
The beauty of stillness, the stillness of space
Autumn, winter crescent, winter head ahead

True Romance

Her nice romance here is kind like snow
Her neat romance there gentle like rose petal
Her lovely romance in between like soothing rain

Simply, you and I.

I vow to attain a conscious paradigm shift

Through manifesting love completely evolving, 

So we may transcend, cosmically ascending.

Together, facing the deathly moment alone

Their soles must be given to free their souls

  Silent witnesses of man's inhumanity to man

however, weak poets do it in days or even weeks

More than two thousands years is her age, history!
The ancient Giant tree El Árbol del Tule so cool!

To shine and be clean at least once a week, so 
That fly doesn't land on my big nose any more

Has a holiest mystical resonance to dispel
All of the evilest energies originating from Hell.

But even I can equally bend to the exact will
Of either an alpha male or even a beta male.

It is just another little solitary prison,
Containing everything of which I am as a person.
Seems I am meant to be alone without any visitation.

They may congregate outside my gates
Tonight, I entertain solitude and quiet; the heart speaks
