Words bewail actions
     Non-interventional distractions

          Losing

     Love in translations...

Oh, how can we deny !
when the poor translations of HIS language deafen us,
while HIS silences make us cry.

"Silence is the language of god,
all else is poor translation" - Rumi....

A placid dose abducts barren perceptions,
wherefore virtue departs in the nakedness
stretch passionately, dawning motivations,
transcendent intrinsic structuring success.
Epic fuse a star--at sea--sunk translations....

She was a daring escape artist,
secret agent in her own maniacally
complicit central intelligence gravitas,
gritting darkly ravaged plug-in gray matter
weapon of choice - unsystematic wordy tumult 
seducing unhinged recondite translations...

Forest was partisan
lilies blushing,
moon was parting the milky way,

on the terrace
the absurd man, and the spaces
missing,
the house locked in,

are left
wrecked manuscripts of attempts
to save the translations
of life’s books

Give me some language
to read again
from the walls

Knives fly
cows and chickens die
new world translations
morality always a test
abandoned sons
the fathers crimes exposed
cursed by a closed mind
brainwashed
by voices in the sky
mathematics 
begin to multiply
only then
will fathers repent
and children rejoice
animals roam free
all the living
have precious souls...

If something’s made in China,
The quality might be
Below what we would once expect,
I think we’d all agree.

What really drives me crazy is
When they include instructions,
The grammar and the spelling sometimes
Need some introductions.

It shouldn’t be that hard to find
Transcribers to dispense
The how-to-guide translations
That, in English, make some sense....

THE SUN SHINES BEYOND A VEIL OF CLOUDS
THE MOON PROVIDES OUR EVENING LIGHT
THE HEAVENS THAT ADORN THE SKY
A WARM AND CURIOUS SIGHT
WHAT LIES THERE IN THE GLORY OF
THE BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR
PONDERING THOUGHTS OF HUMAN MINDS
THAT GOD IS NOT SO FAR
THE CHILD IN US THAT STAYS SO STRONG
THE ANSWER WE MUST FIND
THE JOURNEY THAT WILL SOMEDAY END
TRANSLATIONS OF OUR MIND....

Darkened translations emerge from the night.
Fledglings tarnished as they hide from the light.
Parvenue casualties from antiquated sin.
Depraved menage is how it dared begin.

Retribution will one day be poignantly felt.
Severely dispensed, his wrath will be dealt.
No one can hide from their diabolical display
Destruction will find thee and bring your end of day.

Direct me to,
The place you're at,
I need to know,
The agony lasts.
The voice I hear,
Is soft you see,
I want to know,
My destiny.
Direct me to,
The traits within,
Help me be,
All I can.
I don't see things,
The way you do,
Translations in print,
To help stay content.
Am I heard,
Are others pleased,
With the opportunity to retrieve?
It's destiny,
It will happen,
Recall the visual sense,
As I comprehend....

hello brother,
 irish hearing of translations

in american creole we leave, ears are not left nor right
they perk and grass talls to a tickling memory for running up to the hairs of trigger
trigger is limber and frequiently as december
bestow herselfish visits when attendants of time
dare not his fender
his fender glides in names as thumper
neither care to scamper yet both shall parent springs...

I see lives, hollow and stuffed...
Meaningless motives, dried souls and rough voices
...heap of dried grass tied together,
Gestures without expressions, smiles without passion..
I see forced walk through the corridors of life...
...run without zeal for the ambitions tied,
I see myself seeking refuge...
…in the cellar filled with words, translations & solitude,
I see shrinking perimeters of my existence....

i can feel
my pills
are 

swallowing
me even as
i try to stay 

awake
to be with
you though

you are
words
as i am

words each
on each
other's

phone
screen
welcome

to 
the
modern

age where
your photos
are so much

younger
then my
older me

but hopes
like jumping
ropes and playing

jaxs or laughing
at translations
not quiet exact

make life
all the

The earth's globe rotates around the sun.
Morning for some and night ffor mothers as it does.
Languages are many and dialects varied causing divide 
What of the language of literature?

Translations of heart. feelings and life seep thru both 
      metal gates and hard walls.
Poets of mind acknowledge each other with open nods.
They know no divide of country. culture or race.
Only to speak the truth of bring.

A man makes his plans, so grand...
               The Lord waves His Hand ~ Will any still stand?

                           November 15, 2019

     

    "Many are the devices** in the heart of man, nevertheless
               the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand
                                              ~ Proverbs 19:21 King James Bible

Sitting at a funeral;
in ashes,you search-
the faces of dead. To 
shut down the apostrophes.

How far was your home,
you don’t want to
go back ? A black moon
invites the tallest flare-

of the sun. Bright 
death will ask no compensation.
You can travel over half-
memories of frozen pain.

Hourglass to Kundo clocks,
you were collecting all the
souvenirs to stall the
translations from coast to coast.

What use cleaning up a skunk 
If your mind murky remains,
A fish forever is dunk
In water, her stink still retains.

Sanft fällt das Eichenlaub
Jetzt noch langsam im späten Herbst 
Vor ersten Winterboten

------------------------------------------------


Softly falling oak leaves 
Now slowly before late autumn
Before first winter's message

Suave caída de hojas de roble 
Antes del primero mensajero de invierno
Aún  al fin del otoño
