Hope

there is pure magic in hope

Echoes they will stir,
from the past
Dim the sound,
so they don't last

Universe Poems May 2021
Echoes fill the room
Plier (to bend), etendre (to stretch),
relever (to rise), sauter (to jump),
tourner (to turn), glisser (to glide),
and, elancer (to dart)
Graceful and, eloquently,
painting a picture,
melodic gestures through mid air
Perfect symmetries,
as our bodies entwine,
a gasp and, applause,
echoes and, fills the atmosphere
A mesmerising performance,
cheers and, claps curtains close
Ballerina shoes

Universe Poems Jul 2022
Venice enjoyed great wealth
Underlying the stability economic power Resiliency
A trading empire base
Eastern Mediterranean,
Stretching into northern Europe and Asia
Wealth encouraged innovation,
cultural diversity nation
The trade of spices and exotic goods
Venice became,
a technology centre for printing fame
Visual arts broadened by publication,
Venetian printers
Also engaged as map-making thinkers
Nautical sea routes and ports
Venetian trade all courts
Fifteenth century,
more books printed in Venice,
than any other European city
Diversity
Contemporary
Venetian life
Mirrors of the printing industry,
Numbers high
Ancient text
Greek history
Jewish history,
and translations Arabic works mystery
Peter Burke noted,
Venice was a centre of information venture,
about the East linked travels,
of merchants and others unrevealed
Simply an expression of economic social,
and a political system
A framework of prosperity
The secret of continuing stability,
was found in critical points,
of flexibility within the hierarchy
Great significance of the arts
Despite political power,
being reserved for the,
hereditary patrician class hour
Citizenship played a powerful role,
in the tower
Civil Service goal
Among institutions scuole-lay,
responsibility way
Deeply religious confraternities
Large cases extremely wealthy places
Providing activities,
what we would think of today,
as Social Services public way
Five important scuole grandi,
hundreds of scuole piccole,
size and influence far from minimal
Linked to trades including painters,
or to foreign groups in the city
without waiters
Commissions for artists,
scuole important role,
maintaining social cohesion,
right up to naval supremacy,
which underwrote,
the power and prosperity vote
Fred Wilson,
African American,
West and Islam mention
Late sixteenth century
Well over a hundred years
Prior to the fall of Constantinople tall
Until the last quarter,
admiration for the Turks,
as the social system,
seemed to grant them,
equal measure of works
Mehmet very much enjoyed readings,
from ancient historians,
such as Laertius, Herodotus,
Livy and Quintus Curtius,
and from chronicles of the popes,
and Lombard kings
Kritovoulos of Imbros quotes
What matters here is less a question,
of the objective truth,
or otherwise of the claim,
than of how Mehmet’s identity,
was being fashioned in the Venice lane
At the time,
Vespasiano da Bisticci wrote of Federigo da Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino
He was ever careful to keep intellect
and virtue to the front
Learning something new every day,
going forward to catalogue,
his patronage of the arts,
architecture and the music lecture
Deep knowledge of classical authors stay
Venice had traded slaves,
since at least tenth century days
Most were Christians,
quite often described as Tartars,
or Circassians from the area,
of the Black Sea
Fall of Constantinople
Decline in the Black Sea slave trade
It did not die out,
they simply worked for the Ottomans bout
Sixteenth century numbers increased
European attitudes turned against slavery
Enslavement of fellow Christian bravery
An increase in Ottoman power,
Late fifteenth century,
one thousand black slaves,
traded annually in Venice days
By 1600 Venetian slavery died out
Demand for Portuguese Spanish Dutch British,
and French colonies,
as well as the Muslim states all rates
Free slaves and they,
could continue to live in Venice,
not having to work as domestic servants,
for perks and observance
Turks and Germans,
promoted the imagery of black people entering, into Venetian popular culture,
and has never really,
left it in paintings or art culture
Fred Wilson mentioned in his chapter,
testifies to this rapture
The representation of the world of Islam,
takes a specific form
Venetian artists,
seem to shield away,
from representing contemporary,
Ottoman society
Ottoman figures are found,
in Venetian art
In the heart of Venice
the lived environment,
no images of the Ottoman world
Plentiful images
of the early Christian world,
of the Holy Land
If only they would paint,
the real heart of grand
Not in the Ottoman Empire land,
but in the empire of the Mamluks,
the other eastern Mediterranean,
Islamic culture land,
based in present-day Syria and Egypt Ptah
Venetian artists,
representing the trials,
and victories of the early Christian Church Imagined them against a partly factual,
and partly made-up preach
A background of architecture,
and non-Christains,
in Mamluk costume
What happened to recognition,
in history before the vacuum

On the quagmire chair,
people complain,
of torrential rain there
Air
No give way underfoot
Head above the boggy land
Expand
Diviner and Soothsayers,
part of nature's land
The quagmire has corners,
embedded above the muddy,
marshy, waterlogged chair
Torrential rain can pour there

in smaller eternal atoms too
The link was me and you

Called your phone more than three times
You don't answer,
when you see it is me calling
I was working
Working!
You mean talking to other women,
that's your work
Don't bother coming home
Carry on your conversations,
with those other women,
that are known

Universe Poems Sep 2021
Your crimson glow,
in between the greens
I can still see you though
Rogue bright
Your petals will,
soon drop out of sight
Collecting your abscission,
as this will be used
Rose sugar scrub infused
Rose petals dipped,
in water overnight,
you will soothe irritation,
that's right

Crumble topping
It is ok,
to top apple pie,
or rhubarb,
you know why,
but once the,
crumble is gone,
no need,
to carry on
With lashings,
of custard or cream,
let alone,
when the bowl is clean
Crumble then redeem
Until the next time,
you fancy crumble,
and, ice cream

Universe Poems Jun 2021
Two meanings to a word
lexical a set of semantically,
related items,
straight spectacle
Shapes which ones,
come to mind first
Squares, rectangles,
and, triangles,
These are the kind
Straight lines, and angles,
represent structure,
and, order tangles with rupture
Usually Symbolic Forder
Shapes with curves.
circles, ovals, and diamonds,
are softer,
representing connection,
and, community foster,
not rigid ordered imposter
if you want to belong,
to the polygon
Euclidean space,
finite number of dimensions,
in which points are designated,
coordinates for the space,
one for each dimension,
competitive redemption,
but Seal of Solomon,
Six Fold,
will soften, and protect any,
woman or man that can't be sold
Earth, Air, Fire, Water
North, East, South, West
North ground
East Intellect,
and, imagination found
South passion,
and, strength represent
Loving, and cleansing,
please West
Hail, and represent,
everyone who does not sell,
their soul for less,
than the eternal pure, that is best
This should pour naturally,
without interference,
on the access,
from the outside community
Or be used to bargain,
like an auction house,
with morning coffee
Once gone,
left filled with rigor mortis,
and, a warm body,
but no human surplus

Dreamland
Play a band,
Louder than
Reality land
Sounding out
If awake,
clocks will not be fake
Dreaming,
no clocks will forsake
Dreamland you will,
not be awake
Stay dreaming for,
God's sake
In a land, that is not fake.

Dream a big fluffy
ice cream,
with a cone,
that melts,
and, reminds you
of a wafer sandwich,
and, how that felt
A simple dream,
that never melts,
If you can source,
a cone or wafer,
that holds a crunch,
you can eat dreams,
for all day brunch

Sense and, sensibility
Tomorrow will you be there,
will you sense lust,
feeling it at dusk
Will sensitivity,
allow you to respond,
when emotional influences,
are the bond
Perceived faculties,
can't always please
Efforts on both sides,
always creates sunrise

Make a brew
Earl Grey please
A cup for two
Bergamot oil
Will subdue
You will know,
this unique,
tea for two
China cups filled with,
black not blue
Deary me
Will we get through
Yes of course
It's tea for two
Black, White, or possibly
Blue.

I wanted 2 but I can't,
created a bliss,

comforted,

Eccentric,
they say,
a fine line between,
genius, and madness,
what may
Albert Einstein,
they say
Monet gardens,
and estate paved
the way,
that recognises genius
In play
So they can take that,
and, move out of the way,
so genius can,
think, work, and, play,
creatively, filling their day.

Life echoes at you,
sending out,
comes back to you
Sowing you must do
Reaping finds it's way,
back to you
Giving out,
for sure its you
Stop looking in others,
for what exists
in your brew
Be mindful life echoes
back to you
Radiate goodness,
that will always grace you.

Universe Poems Sep 2023
Many years ago
I  remember a University Lecturer
We met
Sitting looking at a woman,
wearing different coloured tights,
a separate colour on each leg,
bright they said
I was quite shocked
Vibrant colours for clothing
University development unfolding,
at that moment I realised,
that studying enables personal development,
so the whole person can devise
I left the meeting inspired,
that who I wanted to be
was an individual at University

Seasonal
Edwardian interior and exterior decor
Placement of furniture
that will echo the Edwardian era restore
What is it you see
Rosewood or a parquet spree
A Stag
outside your door
or in the alcove
above the floor
on the wall behind the door
Duck egg blue
I  now see you

Fir tree
Brought into the home,
by Pagans anciently,
when it was Yuletide,
and time for family
Your tree represents,
everlasting life and fertility
Decorations
Plenty of light
Edwardian Stag head bright,
when the short day,
turns into night
Outside is alight
