She speaks in clouds, her curves drink lost words. Her dress entrances. This marketplace so full of colour, many fragrances merge. I watch her dance with gypsy jazz tones. Olive skin and dark hair. She beckons me forth, to a flaming beauty. With her clouds I merge.

A rugged sidewalk cried hard by the way-side; Its fissures could not hold their tears anymore. A puny man pushed a red cart in the tide Down a darkling, narrow street in Salammbô.* He mumbled to the waves on his way to the market As he gasped behind his laden chariot. His merkabah bore many a lost things Which he had found buried in the quicksand. Among them a fountain pen and a helmet, A pair of eyeglasses, and a trumpet. I wondered, gazing at the old man’s washed face: "Will this worn-out scene ever reach the marketplace?" © LazharBouazzi

As the wind blows across the fiery desert, The desperate people of Yemen sigh. How many more will suffer today? How many more children will cry? A Saudi-led coalition Strikes with a heartless disregard, Leaving behind misery-- Death and destruction its calling card. Choking the poor country, the Saudis Organized a major blockade, Cutting off vital medicine, Food, and water, and stopping all trade. Cluster bombs have fallen on cities. Thousands of innocent people have died. Hospitals and schools have been hit. How can such horror be justified? Millions of people risk starvation If all the bombing does not end. The Saudis hunger for more and more weapons, And they have billions of dollars to spend. A bomb made by Lockheed Martin Hit a Yemeni school bus Killing fifty-one people, and hurting Many more, thanks to us. A U.S. bomb hit funeral mourners; One destroyed a marketplace. That our support causes such Atrocities is a disgrace. The people suffer from cholera-- Something that is hard to avoid When a country's sanitation Facilities are being destroyed. A massive humanitarian crisis Plagues the country despite appeals To end the conflict by caring nations, While major players dig in their heels. Sunni-Shiite conflicts continue With innocent citizens caught in between. Callous leaders turn their heads, Afraid to speak up or intervene. -by Bob B (10-17-18)

Death in Yemen
I meander about the countryside, Coming upon a fishing city. They call it Riften, Home of the thieves. The guard that stopped me, Persuaded with a shakedown. I didn't believe him, And persuaded back with venom. The gates opened, Before thy words. Revealing a peaceful city, With many souls. I roam the marketplace, Searching for supplies. Before I make my journey. To Ivarstead. A man of charm and price, Spoke with me. He sought a job to be done. He asked me? Break the law!? Seriously? He nodded quietly. I sigh, Agreeing to do as he asked. My friend faendal has taught me well Of thievery. This dark elf, A Argonian lizard. I took the ring to deliver. Brynjolf spoke of snow elves, And an elixir. As I put the ring, Into Brand-Shei's pocket. Escaping the shadows. The task was done, And he asked me. To join the Thieves Guild.

Thieves Guild Pt.1
Cheers! We praise our lined faces. We forgive time. We raise our cups of double-pressed wine. We know brute forests from our seed-time We know heaven will cleave those we entwine The season of heat is slow to erupt. April is late. March is still covered with snow, Its shabby sheet weak shoots barely interrupt., Succession and succession is what we know. In the thronged marketplace we know we’ll find Lines of who came before and who came after All seem in be arranged by some infinite mind Knowing where our line goes will not stop our laughter. We dance. All dances are in our repertoire. We know we’re headed to that sacred abattoir. Marc Tretin

Cheerful!
your trash filled sidewalks your smog filled air and morning traffic I could not bear your streets that crawl with poverty that engage your people in robbery your marketplace called 'monument' a paradise I've always dreamt your night sky stars I cannot see as clouds of smoke keep blocking me your reckless drivers your petty thieves your nearest supplier comes down at eve your gangsters stronger than authority and the victim cries so hopelessly your city lights soon will be gone as your electric bill fills up to tons your ambitious leaders up to now, they wonder what is the best that they could offer? O Manila, O Manila I keep longing for thee true is thy beauty in irony

I am not a poet. I am only a wanderer in the marketplace of words, a fool who follows the glimmer of syllables as others follow the scent of bread. Poetry is not ink on paper. It is the pulse beneath the page a breath moving through the hollow reed of the poet, a secret that leans close to the ear of the heart. When I meet a poem, I bow. I circle it once, then twice, then again, as though it were a shrine whose mystery can never be entered in a single step. Each reading strips away a veil. Sometimes the veil is my own blindness, sometimes the poet’s mercy in hiding the flame until I am ready. There are nights I leap from sleep crying, I have it! and mornings when the truth laughs, gently reminding me: Child, that was only the shadow of the meaning come back, and drink deeper. Poetry is a journey without map or return. It is the caravan of joy that passes through my heart again and again.

Meditation on Poetry
My bright princess, you inspire me to write. How I love the way you laughs, skips and sings, Invading my mind day and through the night, Always dreaming about the gorgeous flings. Let me compare you to a cute stardust? You are more pretty, clever and caring. Smart heat toasts the fond frolics of August, And summertime has the fine time sharing. How do I love you? Let me count the ways. I love your beautiful eyes, heart and face. Thinking of your happy heart fills my days. My love for you is the warm marketplace. Now I must away with a daring heart, Remember my apt words whilst we're apart

ode to the princess
God ****** mercenaries vipers hypocrites The Lamb of God sold into the marketplace led into the slaughter The Love and Heart of God now a harlot for the desires and pleasures of perverse men --honestly, I have more respect for a Lady of the Night, than religious ****** who traffic in holiness The Spirit of God miracles transformed into entertainment and to rake in filthy lucre The Banner of God leads an army of hate The Pastor of God exiles a member of Christ’s body The sacred Writings of God   twisted into a message of judgement, guilt, intolerance I am dismayed disturbed disappointed disgusted … I have seen too much The Heart of God bleeds, tears fall from His eyes How long will this go on? Is there vengeance and a special place of punishment reserved for those who commit such travesty? For those who trample on the Blood of the Savior? --Serge Banderet

Sometime this spring, when all the cobwebs have been dusted, and all the cold and dampness has gone away, I'll sit on my front porch and watch the lazy clouds go by. Sometime this spring, when there are no more dreary days, 0r long and silent lingering nights, I'll sweep my front porch and sit so grand in my rocking chair and stare and howl at the sumptuous moon. Sometime this spring, I'll hold my child in my loving arms, and will stroke her hair and whisper to her about all the adventures to come, and dream and fill her head and heart with all the joy that nature brings.

Look woman, you are my woman as I am your man And I fish all day and sometimes nights too and I come back from the dangers and the labor and ****** ********* customers who haggle over my fish at the marketplace and they devalue my fish and demean my labor And then I come home with the coins and I put them in your palms and no doubt you cook me a sumptuous dinner but come night, when the breeze carries the scents of the jasmine in I’d expect a little fishing between us too, you know You know, I’ve got me fish down my bottom that’d I like to release, let it swim deep in your pond – but this pushing me away at nights, and whispering ”You smell like a fish” or “I’ve got a headache now” - this will not do, cause you know, my fish does swell much and that causes me pain and anguish Because my blowfish really does want to move and there you go telling me: “You smell fishy” – what do you expect? You married a fisherman, you know! I’m not going to smell like a goat or a pig or an ox cos I’m no butcher And that makes me think maybe you’re doing a bit of your own fishing all day when I’m gone so really you ought to let my fish swim nights free in your pond or surely I’ll bring my coins to a woman in the huts at the marketplace who’ll freely let my blowfish swim easy whenever I put coins in her palms And I can get me a change of woman too So what will it be tonight? – does my fish swim free? So, woman, you are my woman as I am your man And let us do what a fisherman and fisherwoman do together when they are each other’s and so let us add another chapter in the Manual of Love: Fisherman’s Fish and Fisherwoman’s Pond

i have held with fascination, when i was young,   all of my toys. a parallel universe of   marvels. imperial is the mood of these ecstasies! i remember my cheap svelte revolver   back in 1998 bought from the festive bazaar in the marketplace at the dreary heart of Bocaue when i was consumed by the thought of brutal force and how swiftly, in the hands of men meant for twisting open    the doors, welcome death or the metallurgy of it. i used to run off into the sunset   toting my gun high with pride    shunning the Sun, and the reprise of my carousals is my mother     soldering in her white hands a "walis tambo" and summoning me      homeward with a churlish grin on my face, triumphantly ecstatic    over my rendezvous. now my gun has withstood the    tatterdemalion of dog days and in one corner i felt its   brokenness as it yearns to   be retired early in the peak     of my youth. happiness wears down like a chip on the old linoleumed floor and i tinker with   it to unsheathe the grime   of the unspoken stucco concrete.   i placed it in a box, my black revolver, together with the toys    that i once laughed with when only bliss is as simple as a juvenile love, or the easy picking     of a santan over the fields       where i ran off into the viridian laughing with the verdure of the world that i once knew as something so beautiful    and intricate. i heard my black revolver went    somewhere behind the macadamized wall where i dreamt of having a basketball ring nailed to.    only i knew how to play my revolver, and now that i am    caught within the heaviness   of all things that mean greater   than all other joys,    no other days could ever surpass how   i made     a hero in myself mighty with the tales      that i keep. good ole black revolver, 1998.

It’s always Monday here with the hustle and bustle of the boisterous marketplace, Negotiations carried out over loudspeakers and hailers, It’s never without a fight. It’s always Monday here with the cries of half-dead swans and suffocating dolphins, Collateral damage is a word used loosely, Now that the main guy is here. Last night was a good night, befitting a Sunday’s catch, Rest is only for the lost and lonely on a lovely Sunday night. They brought them in, lined up in rows of ten, Nothing on but a white singlet and pretty underpants. They cowered in fright and tried to huddle, The whips flew as freely as the flies that came to meddle. It was not long till your turn came Pretty as a rosebud One man claimed Smooth as a rose’s petal Another one gleamed. It was all too real for you and you fell dead, in silence It’s always Monday here, someone said, She was so pretty... As they carried you on their back to dump you in the truck to throw away the body just outside the city. It’s always Monday here, said the man shaking his head, as he went to the playground to fish for another haul of fresh blood and good meat! It’s always Monday here... Someone said...

it almost feels like the literary critique establishment never heard of the digitalised version of literary print... a bit like the dynamic of *********** they read **** on toilet paper and never the small print.. no metaphor, no pun, poet is dead with god, you remember, let's keep it like it's 1977 with punk angst, o.k.? well 1 1 1 of the fingers on toilet paper... **** smear.... eager music critics, but hardly any pornographic critics, make a living they say... cheap pop! ah, cheap pop! chop chop! butchers' eyes first, priests' last - liver bitter a minded care for it as if minding a child! curse the minding! curse the liver! a swarm of egos, selfish likened to a marketplace selfless likened to a monastery - there the likening to clarify staring into a mirror; there where we ate everything, including thought, the materialisation of its immaterial twin: soul; we too ate with the lineage concerned via the Eucharist.

the Eucharist
“But my chief argument in defence of **** An-shih is that…            he retired from the Court decisively, ignored all recalls, and            took to the mountains to write poetry of no political            significance whatever.”               – David Warren on the poet-philosopher **** An-Shih Recusancy is not pious quietism; In silence it is a brave voice withdrawn From pompous Kratos’ halls of treachery From screaming Demos’ marketplace of noise And up into the silent hills to save Something of civilization, to sing Matins among the mountain mists, to write A page in praise of Creation, to live - Recusancy is not quietism at all; It is a firm rebuke to tyranny

"To Write Poetry of No Political Significance Whatever"
I self-indulged— For me a rare Lapse, an unexpected Slide to materialism. Repenting already, My selfishness. I bought myself Internet Radio. How could I resist? E-Tail has made it so easy. GOTO Amazon Electronics. •Amazon.com: Electronicswww.amazon.com/electronics-store/b?ie=UTF8... Amazon.com, Inc. Online shopping from a great selection at Electronics Store. ... Electronics. Shop for TV & Video, ... Featured Offers in Electronics ... Electronics Categories • ($“Ka-Ching! Ka-Ching!$ Ads in the middle of the freaking poem!”) The omnipresent marketplace: Shop at home in your pajamas, Pay for it with keystrokes, Go back to sleep. FOR SALE:  Hail to thee, Oh bittersweet Credo of Capitalism! I finally broke down, Accepting the fact that RADIO: once a wireless marvel; Now, a fading media option, Its broadcast range Not only shrunk, but Signal reception, downright poor. So, I finally broke down Bought a radio that actually works. So what I want to know Is NPR so full of itself that They go so far to find some British-accent guy to read Sports summaries? I am listening to some Pompous Pommy poofter, At KBOS, Boston, Massachusetts, Nigel Longshanks, himself, Recapping “The Run for the Roses,” Kentucky Derby homestretch, Missed NBA semi-final foul shot & The freakish mojo comeback of Yankee Baseball Bad Boy: A-ROD.

“RADIO DAYS”
This country's being privatized By politicians using private eyes Manipulating through public lies And their hate filled cries The question becomes a stark why We ask the dark unwise Driving us to laced dimes Or writing ****** rhymes Love is the answer I surmise Nobody else buys Emotions have no value in the marketplace Unless you're of a certain race That reminds them of themself Then they're more likely to share their wealth We need more than paper ***** To tear down these paper walls The order becomes too tall When we apply an objective concept (currency) To a subjective principle (value) Our ideas of value get tangled Our empathy is mangled Our discourse becomes angled Discussions turn to wrangles And cats are bred Bengal As our domestic lives Never left the jungle But there's always a rumble Regimes always tumble Humanity continues to stumble Earth's health starts to fumble Molesting the planet like a creepy uncle Until we see our follies unfold Then will we be so bold To say we can do it on our own?

Privatization
The city spits and swallows Leaving dirt pressed against its lips The hollow shell consumes Personality, Imperfections; Colored veins prove existence, Vulnerability. The city cracks Open, the streets divide The human marketplace Is ever-growing, ever-changing; Voices are lost in the medium, Trapped. She sits next to me, I look at her, ******* On a cigarette; Happiness sits on the Top shelf, sleeping, Wishing. She touches her lips, Feels the dirt, wipes it clean; The blood in her mouth Leaks, lingers Red like a plum,   cut, Scattered.   She dances For the people cold and Lifeless, A product of obsession; Full of sickness, full of eyes Watching her move from the dark, Silent. The city spits and swallows But never washes The dirt piling up And the blood strewing out; Like seduction in motion, Gasping.
