Curved Light (Katuata Poetry)
While the bud butterflies melt their wings Within the light red poppy chain, The pink-gray clouded, sad sunset rings. In this lost sky, the sun's light vein Is almost thrown in a ****** rain. The leaving sun abandons the sky For the moon, and in the cricket crawl The leaves of the oaks whisper 'good bye', While the coming night has a dark shawl. She looks at the stars with a black eye. The sun and the stars find synergy, In the regolith on the moon, But with helium fusing energy, This moon looks like a big balloon, Or like a fragile, silky cocoon. And like those thoughts enveloped in words, Or like angels carrying their pure love, Are the Feathers of the Holy Birds In that rain dropping the divine globes On the strong souls needing love rewards. Any epistemological sphere Is pouring up to the Holy Book, Or is falling down to disappear. The reverse arch gets a killer look. Tries to provide fragrance of fear. The fluid, wicked waves draining in sight On Earth to meet at infinity Are like the dark rays in the pure light. Light rays are arches of Trinity, While dressed in wind seems to be the night. Stars are candles and night lights them all, The colors withdraw in the last light. In the black darkness, they look so small. The dream seeds germinate for a fight, Becoming real while breaking their wall. © copyright Marieta Maglas

This Poem Needs Comma (Three Line Poetry)
From his explosions, Our sun spreads antimatter Into the cosmos And orbits around the core Of the immense Milky Way To make a low-speed cyclone. Poem by Marieta Maglas

Spiral Motion (Bussokusekika Poetry)
In fall, the trees watch The rise of some butterflies, When the leaves fall down, 'Cause they have the same color, But a distinct sense of flight. Marieta Maglas

Rising in Fall (Tanka)
(Geraldine, Maya, and Pedra were in the kitchen to drink some Jasmine Yin Zhen tea.) Between Bosphorus and Dardanelles, the waters are calm. Geraldine Said, ''I love the life at sea on this tall ship.'' Maya said, '' Let me see the meaning of the lines in your palm! '' ''I worked a lot; I can't feel my hands when something I grip.'' Maya insisted, '' Let me rub your hands with Gilead' balm! '' ''I can't stand the hustle and bustle of big cities. Can you predict my future after reading my palm? ''You'll be surrounded by death coming from the waves' ditties.'' ''What is this balm? '' '' It's an extract from the bakha shrubs.'' ''Where did you find this shrub? '' ''This extract is brought from Chios, Where this tree grows near the sea, to make this balm and drugs. It's good for the stomach and prevents the skin infections. I used it to make bread tsoureki.'' ''It's sweet, '' Pedra said, ''This tree excited the cupidity of invaders- The groves of Jericho.'' Maya touched her, ''Are you afraid? '' ''Went there to fight Titus, Joshua and the crusaders.'' Pedra took a long look at her, ''Do you have children? '' ''I have two boys who live in southern Ottoman Empire. My husband died.'' ''Why did you come here? '' ''I'm a poor woman. Now, it’s war; I want to work here, not to walk through the fire.’’ (Maya left the kitchen. On the deck, Marco, Rosa, and Cruz stopped for a few minutes their walk to admire the Marmara Sea in approach to Çanakkale.) ''Anybody who wants to pass through the Dardanelles Must pay a tax. So, we must sit at anchor in waiting For an opening at this small Port of Çanakkale, '' Said Cruz. '' About buying fuel, the ****** are still debating, '' Said Marco.'' This city is placed on two continents.'' '' The shape of the strait is akin to that of a river.'' '' Its history started with Troy. The tidal currents Make this time of wait at anchorage a deceiver.'' ''The Dardanelles is the most dangerous waterway, '' Said Rosa, '' Maya and Naimah are talking fiercely.'' Cruz said, ''They've seemed not to know each other until today.'' ''What happened, Maya? '' ''He can't stop speaking viciously.'' (To be continued...) Poem by Marieta Maglas

These frozen eyes of winter glittering so cruel Like scorching flames of fire, icy hearts to melt When hearts can make the flame to eye the night so cool And cool the night in winter, frozen songs to belt But winter's heart,so cool in light ,on ice love dwelt And dwelt in our igloo like a piece of flame, When flames are hearts of sorrow needing songs to belt And igloo is a scene, on which we sing for fame.

The Eyes Of Winter
Mary was a carrack around two hundred in size Having a cargo space and five masts with lateen sails. The men climbed to the top of the mast to front the skies. Loaded the cargo and prepared it for heavy gales. This ship had a main mast with a square sail for speed And triangular sails for maneuverability. Being eager to eat, to drink and to smoke their **** To load brocade and silk, they got the ability. They had to purchase these goods of China to Lisbon, Where they could exchange it for some Portuguese silver. The crates were quite heavy, and Frederick asked Brisbon To hire men, 'cause ‘’at time, the goods they must deliver.’’ Brisbon hired sailors from Istanbul for the crew. They carried the crates, one by one, into the cargo. Sulim came and said that the gangway was damaged, too. ‘’What else? ’’‘’Three crates of goods and Abseil’ hands, ’’ said Fargo. ''We have to get to Gibraltar before September In order to be able to pass through the mousetrap. There is a strong current, which can be our ship's dismember. It flows in the opposite direction. Here's the map! '' Sam said, ''captain, how fast are the currents through this strait? '' ''The water at the surface flows between 2 - 4 knots. The Autumn current can make us strain as through Hell's Gate. Losing knots in speed, we can die; life is in my thoughts.'' '' The merchant wants to leave and doesn't know what to do, '' Said Sam. Frederick and two men went into port to seek Someone, who could repair the gangway and someone who Could treat Abseil’ hands, because to sail he was too weak. Geraldine was in the kitchen to prepare some food For the ****** ''Where do you go? '' She asked Frederick. ''A man's job! You're too jealous. I don't mean to be rude.'' ''At noon, they drink.'' She laughed. ''My time is always metric.'' Frederick descended quickly into the boat with Sulim and Suaram. They went ashore and went up In northeastern outskirts of the town, where the fifth House was an unfinished jewel under the sky's cup. After two hours, they brought a few craftsmen the gangway To repair. Finally, all the goods were brought on deck. When the men started to eat, 'twas the end of the day. '' The water swallows the sun; it's time for the dreams' trek.'' Said Sam while eating bread. ''And darkness engulfs the day.'' On the deck, the lanterns' light made the place enchanting. They ate in silence. The water sprayed wet pearls away. Frederick said, ''Now, the timeless our sleep is granting.'' (to be continued....) Poem by Marieta Maglas

(Chiara, Francesca, Rosa and Pedra remained on the beach.) Chiara and Pedra decided to take a look along The coast to search some food; Francesca and Rosa carried The boat across the beach to hide it; 'How can you be so strong? '' Asked Rosa; ''I listened to Chiara when I got married. We depleted a fortune and Lucca was very rich.'' ''So, this strength of yours comes from your tristesse, '' replied Rosa. ''My inner emptiness became affection.'' 'She's a witch.'' 'She's a good soul, but inside her, she keeps thorns of mimosa.'' They had to undergo that difficult time and to Organize their lunch; Rosa stopped to sip some drops of water From the canteen she carried, '' it's entirely up to you To leave him now.' ''My father is ill; I'm his only daughter.'' They were tired after the grim events of the previous Hours; meanwhile, Chiara and Pedra were sifting through the salty Air of the beach. Chiara said, '' I don't trust Fargo, he's devious.'' ''We have no other chance, '' replied Pedra. ''His logic is faulty, '' Continued Chiara, ''they should remain here with us.'' Pedra stayed for a few minutes being caught by the sparkle Of the broken waves; she said, ''we have something to discuss. Don't you think that your ideas are too matriarchal? '' They enjoyed the salty stink of the seaweeds and the clicking Of the living shells that they had tossed together for the meal. While eating, they cut off the mollusks from their sticking Shells; dozens of gulls were wheeling over the waves. ''Pleasant peal, '' Said Francesca, '' the chance of meeting another one while Staying here is very slim.'' '' I really grasp the scale of our Surroundings, '' said Chiara while giving her seaweeds with a smile. Rosa said, '' eat some kumquats, figs, and pears; you need power.''

In a dreamy field with dark blue irises, Her lips are like falling, red butterfly wings. In his blue eyes, she sees that hope rises. O'er the life bridge, sometimes, the bell of death swings. In the flower-filled wind, so high is his thought As near is his feeling to the heart of love. Flapping skywards, the dark spirits come to naught. So sunny the sky, here flies the white dove. With his long black hair and his beautiful chest, He is a Polish king in their wedding bed. His ringed hand swings the paradise of her breast. From there, so far is the rising moon and so red. Their thoughts into the vast infinity slip, Into the flowers' seeds; untouched sutured wounds In forgotten memories flutter and clip. Prayers from afar do flow to the lips' sounds. She wakes up in the field; the irises have grown. Her vibrating horizon is forsaken- A love so near that her heart has never known. Knows now who she has, from her dream, awakened.

The Polish Kiss
Sulim said, ‘’the moon rises on the sky like a child.’’ ''The jeweler is going to come tomorrow to Bring me jewels for those wanting their life to be styled. Although I can't sell them, I want all her dreams come true, '' Frederick said. She replied, ''I can't wait to choose them.'' ''They are expensive, and it's hard to find customers.'' Sam said, ’’ increase the price when two eyes light on a gem.'' ''I have to deal with the coast-men, who are expert smugglers.'' '' 'Twas another world, when jewelry meant a business. I had to wear a lapel clip to be fully dressed.'' Sam said, ''to the jewelry theft, I'm an eye witness.'' ''To protect this ship from pirates, I'll do my best.'' He kissed her, '' you're the most important jewel for me.'' She touched her womb, ''this fetus is the most important.'' ''And I hope he will become what I want him to be. I know he feels, even his feeling is quite dormant.’’ (After a few seconds of thinking, Frederick continued to talk with her.) ''Are you sure it's a boy? '' ''I am absolutely sure. Moreover, he will be like his dad.'' The man held her Into his arms, '' I'm strong enough this fate to endure. Is he as beautiful as me? '' He played with her hair. Dreamy and meditative, Geraldine told him, ''He's already a sailor in my womb.'' He laughed. ''Son, I want you to hit her a little in a gym.'' She exclaimed, ''he moved.'' ''He’s maestro at this craft.'' (Early in the morning, Frederick and Geraldine woke up. They used to sleep in the same bed, although she was pregnant. She had to prepare the breakfast for the sailors, and he had to go to the nautical bridge to take back the control of the ship.) ''You'll stay at Lisbon for a few years because the child Must grow up enough to be taken with us on the ship.'' ''I do not let you roaming through the freedom and the wild.'' ''I don't go, I stay with you, '' he whispered lip to lip. ''Are you afraid of losing me? He asked tenderly. ''I'm afraid that something bad is going to happen.'' ''With five belly dancers around fashion'd slenderly? '' ''Imagine this! You're going to be a real captain! '' He laughed. She gave him a pat on the back with her cushion. ''Do you see those five lateen sails? They dance in the storm.'' He wanted to make love with her, but she kept on pushing. He immobilized her screaming ''Love me to keep me warm! '' Ismail knocked on the door and told Frederick that the jeweler was on the ship. (to be continued...) Poem by Marieta Maglas

The Happy Woman (Rhyming Senryu)
The ship had left the port two hours before Geraldine Said, ‘’I feel that I'll never turn back here again! ’’ She passed through the waiting line formed to use the latrine. Suddenly, she heard a thunder in that rush of rain. They had insufficient fuel, but enough food to last Until they arrive in Çanakkale; the kitchen Was quite large and Maya started to cook very fast. ''Maya, what smells so good? '' She said, '' the last fried chicken.'' Ibrahim was seventeen years old, and he helped them Prepare the breakfast for the passengers; he entered To bring a basket of coal and jet. ‘’It looks like gem.'' He took a coal into his hand to see if it was splintered. ''It is increasingly difficult to sleep at night, '' Geraldine said; the ship was sailing forward slowly. The waves were small, and a galleon came into sight. It had the color of those waters being shoaly. 'Twas a commercial one sailing in the same direction. A gust of wind ruffled her hair and snatched her blue bow. The splashing waves with the rain drops were in connection. That ship was sailing fast, but none of their sailors knew how. Maya took the kettle of water coming to a boil; Prepared bread with butter and cheese for the coming people: Twenty passengers and fifteen sailors freed from toil. The bells that rang were like those being in a steeple. Suddenly, there was a bang as the ship might have hit a reef. Frederick and Sam looked up seeing that the square sail Deteriorated slightly in the wind, and the chief Asked Sam to repair it.''There're two techniques that never fail.'' ''Do you see that ship in the distance, on the horizon? '' ''It must be a Spanish galleon bringing ******* Laced with wine, ''said Brisbon whose face was wrinkled and wizen. ''They sail across the Pacific Ocean from New Spain.'' ''They're longer, lower and narrower, with a square tuck stern And have snouts projecting forward from the bows below The forecastle level.'' They forced their eyes to discern. The sun rose making the water have a golden glow. '' These galleons are fast and very maneuverable. They enable the ****** to sail closer to the wind, '' Said Fargo.''Old ship's problems are innumerable.'' Freddy said, '' a thought to buy a new ship is in my mind.'' ( to be continued...)

silence is a balloon in my hand. an erratic saxophone with notes as blue as doves strangled in noxious space. android Jesus, not quite the shadow, verily the toppled light renaming things underneath its parasol – hundredfold of monikers and a solitary weight of love. this is where the blood starts to make sense in its cold shrill: a dagger making its way towards my back. here are few routines of ablution; a conflagration of bodies. razed sandalwood. first to go is gravity. last are the bodies helium-gorged, afloat – there is an immense price for solace. cyclic spectral cyclic spectral there’s man in ox but never an ox in a man. can you feel the tenacious drone of the oncoming storm? can you feel the Sun so sick of its diurnal labor? can you feel the tantric *** of dew? its sensorial fissures? butchered serrations of grass are like torrid piles of moist ***** ready for ****** again, here comes the quietus. on the loathsome table lies the shrapnel of last night’s carnal invitation. a moth not named Marieta circumnavigates a bayonet of elastic fire. here comes the marauder of quiet again, in my hand, a round, red, silent balloon – I let it go, in such relentlessly hoodwinked pursuit towards a god that may or may not know how to dance underneath the bludgeoned beat.

Jesus On A Bike
Mary had nine cannons to defend against the pirates. The passengers lived in large cabins having low ceilings. This carrack was steered by Sam, the best between pilots. Three decks and the crew's quarters made it look as a building. Their quarters and the captain's house were on the upper deck. With a long boat and a shallop, this carrack was safe. The galley was near the cabins; no one was put in check. Its food didn't push people against the restraints to chafe. This vessel had hatches to be used between the floors. On the lower deck, near the cargo, 'twas the gun room. They stored there guns, powder and shot using some locked doors. Their scent was blurred by the meats and by the ladies' perfume. The waves and the missing light made this deck cold and damp For flour, biscuits, dried meats and vegetables, water and beer. The ****** entered there only using a small lamp. One by one, Sam and Sulim moved the rudder to steer. The capstan used to heave up the anchor, was at the bow. The binnacle stood directly in front of the wheel. Through the compass, to have a night vision it could allow. The magnetic deviation they could see and feel. The sailors used the hourglass to measure their duty time An astrolabe helped them see the position of stars. Their chip board measured the speed during the stormy clime. The Cross staff was skillful to see those ships of wars. ''Give me the quadrant to see that dawn star's altitude! '' Freddy told Sam.''Why did you choose to buy a carrack? '' ''Provisions for long sails, but I can't say with certitude. It's stable in heavy seas and helpful during attacks.'' 'Did you hear about der Eyck? '' Continued Frederick. ''His instrument for longitudes and latitudes is new, '' Said Arturo, a Spanish passenger, '' not a trick.'' ''I'll buy the Plantius' version for me and my crew.'' (to be continued..)

The sailors used the hourglass to measure their duty time An astrolabe helped them see the position of stars. Their chip board measured the speed during the stormy clime. The Cross staff was skillful to see those ships of wars. ''Give me the quadrant to see that dawn star's altitude! '' Freddy told Sam.''Why did you choose to buy a carrack? '' ''Provisions for long sails, but I can't say with certitude. It's stable in heavy seas and helpful during attacks.'' 'Did you hear about der Eyck? '' Continued Frederick. ''His instrument for longitudes and latitudes is new, '' Said Arturo, a Spanish passenger, '' not a trick.'' ''I'll buy the Plantius' version for me and my crew.'' (to be continued..)

(Geraldine was walking on the deck while waiting nervously for Fredrick. Frederick appeared suddenly while speaking quickly and gesturing.) ''I've waited for you all day long to come up with fuel.'' ''I went to buy charcoal, water and outdoor lamp oil. At a crossroad, I saw a stage driver being so cruel To whip his horses to run faster; the oil spilled on the soil. He drove a stagecoach; my horse was frightened by the sound And my trolley overturned. I had to come back to buy Again three barrels of oil.'' ''That oil spilled on the ground, '' Said Geraldine, ''the money has gone, and this is not a lie! '' I don't ask you to tell me where you really spent the money It makes no sense to ask you for the truth. Is she beautiful? Did you have a good time? To wash laundry in public, honey, You may bring her here. This way, you can be dutiful.'' ''I love you, '' screamed Frederick, '' so, you think you're funny.'' ''Well, I may be funny although I'm never stupid.'' He held her, ''I sold some jewels. Take the money. I could lie to you, but you're the one. I'm down with Cupid.'' ''Do you remember that man having a ring with a skull? '' ''You've met him in Constantinople, '' ''I've met him here, too. He was in that stagecoach liking this way his horses to cull.'' He laughed saying, ''I'm a captain in search for my crew.'' ''Frederick, I want to return home at Khadjibey. Do you remember when we've met in the port and you Gave me an emerald cut gold ring shining at the ray? '' ''I've asked you to marry me, '' ''I love you; you know it's true.'' ''Then why do you want to turn back home? '' ''You know I'm scared.'' '' This is our chance. If we turn back in that unknown trading port For slave markets, I will not survive; I'm not prepared To ask the sanjak bey some protection and support. I am Italian and I saw so many things. I saw the terrible fate of those becoming galley-slaves, Women enslaved being sexually abused, in sufferings, But someone living in Khadjibey is a 'plough and a scythe.' '' '' Is this artwork painted by Paolo de Matteis or not? '' Asked Francesca coming to them. ''What are you doing here? '' ''We really like to admire that splendid island a lot.'' ''Shall we offer them a string instruments' concert, Chiara dear? '' (To be continued…) Poem by Marieta Maglas

All for Naught (Haiku)
Chiara, Arturo's wife, approached them together with Lucca and Francesca, the other Italian pair Saying, ''Was Quare's invention real? I thought it was a myth.'' '' His barometer measures the pressure of the air.'' Chiara was wearing a red gown, with lace trimming the low, A green velvet mantel, which was lined with some ermine, Square neckline and sleeves, which were gathered at the elbow. She spoke well Italian, Spanish, and German. Italians wanted to disembark at Syracuse. Bella and Miguel traveled to Barcelona home. To find a new home, Naimah and his son had an excuse. Out of their Turkey's limit, through the storms, they would roam. Tia, Athan, Megan, and Karsten would disembark At Selanik, an Ottoman province, where Ahmed The Third was reigning while his war was a fire in the dark. They were Greeks being born during the reign of Mehmed. Marco and Rosa, Cruz and Pedra, Pedro and Carla Were Portuguese pairs coming home from America. They had bought from the Pueblo Indians some ollas. They gave one to the Russian pair, Ivan, and Erica. Ivan said, ''Tell me something about these Indians.'' Carla said, ''Their belief means dualism; they eat corn. Some became Catholic due to the Spanish civilians. They think they emerged from underwater to be born.'' Carla wore a black cap, having a veil, and a green gown Patterned with acorns and flowers, and her sleeves were caught With jeweled clasps on lace at the elbow; her eyes were brown. ''The water is fresh in the ollas, I like them a lot.'' She asked Ivan’’ Now, where do you go? ’’ ‘’We left the war.’’ ''Ahmed and Peter the First! '' replied Cruz, '' tell me something, How could you reach Constantinople after coming from far? '' ''I do trade with them, but this war destroyed everything.'' ''Did you lose everything you had? '' Marco asked Ivan. ''To make business in Turkey, I sold all my Russian goods.'' Erica tried this conversation to enliven, ''In Portugal, we'll search for a job in cities and hoods.'' Marco wore a banyan with a patterned lining; his cuffs Were embroidered in gold; his justacorps and stockings Over his breeches were red like Rosa's shoes and muffs. All of them wore periwigs and talked a lot while walking. ( To be continued...) Poem by Marieta Maglas

They wanted to sail on the sea of life. They built an ideal ship as in dreams. Frederick and Geraldine, his sweet wife Began sailing to explore new extremes. Sometimes, he used to call her ‘’Crystallind.’’ On their ship, they carried good merchandise. And he taught her to scream in the wind, Creepy creeps with strong thoughts to harmonize. He wore glasses, and his blue eyes were eyes Of loveliness, when she called him ‘’Firstborn.’’ He was as a child, but one wondrous wise, He had black tresses that were never shorn. From the watery green, their happiness Touched the abstracted infinite of the sky- The land was a thought- ‘twas togetherness In that place where that much, no bird could fly. She could do so many things in bad days, But if she stopped loving him, she would die. Being pregnant in that garden of praise, She received a heart emerald thereby. ‘Twas a day to meet the ship of pirates In searching for treasures in the islands. She saw the danger through her man’s iris. The pirates attacked them to take diamonds. Frederick, the child, leaped inside her womb. His father and the crew started to fight. The pirates’ ship went to the waters’ tomb, And Holy tears was poured on them for light. (to be continued) Poem by Marieta Maglas

Frederick And Geraldine (Part 1)
That ship used to carry passengers and some cargo. 'Twas cozy and elegant for the ladies' travel. The outdoor spaces and the suites were cleaned by Fargo. Its furniture and artworks were dreams to unravel. They had tobacco, Indian spices, and old wine, Making sure that the passengers didn't miss anything. Searching for food and water, when the stars started to shine, Freddy hired Maya because she knew to do everything. Maya was an old woman with black eyes and long, white hair, And she had a deep, long scar above her upper lip. The crew got ready to leave the port, feeling despair In waiting for the last passengers to board the ship. ''She will prepare the meals as a woman of the sea. She will help you give birth to the child when the time will come. Why do I sometimes feel like someone is watching me? He always appears in my way; those moments I'm numb. He's a tall and a lean man dodging out of my way. He has three daggers and a gold ring with a boom skull.'' ''Sulim said something about a sea wolf, '' ''What did you say? '' ''Ask Sam to follow him, and to put him in a lull.'' ''It's dangerous to follow him, '' ''Now, where is his ship? '' ''Near wild shores, or isolated places, well hidden.'' ''Due to my accident, I left the army swords that rip.'' ''I left my home for you, ' cause this love was forbidden.'' (She started to cry while thinking that her father died because she left the home without his approval to marry Frederick. While crying, she fell asleep. Frederick fell asleep, too, while being worried about their future.) (to be continued...) Poem by Marieta Maglas

You gave me your love, while that night was pouring down. I thought it was in Eden, or in dreams. I could hear the rain whispering your name. Someone had bled somewhere- wounds to be sutured. They weren't lips. I had learned everything about lips. I heard the whispers of the White Tree of Gondor. You kissed me for kissing, kissing, kissing. You gave me your blue love, and I understood that you were mine. I had you, and I could be myself (lips- kisses within) . Someone had bled somewhere- wounded lips and sutures- lips, kisses within. I stand near you, touching you and I wanted to stay that way forever. You didn't ask me to stay never to leave- walls, walls, walls. 'Twas for eternity our love. You couldn't ask me to stay again and again. You gave me your love again and again. I waited for the blue rain to whisper again and again, You didn't let me wait for my rainbow again and again, again and again, again and again, again and again, again and again. Once more, 'twas the night. No more, 'twas no more night. You gave me your love. Poem by Marieta Maglas
