"plenitude" poems
Summer grows old, cold-blooded mother.
The insects are scant, skinny.
In these palustral homes we only
Croak and wither.
Mornings dissipate in somnolence.
The sun brightens tardily
Among the pithless reeds. Flies fail us.
he fen sickens.
Frost drops even the spider. Clearly
The genius of plenitude
Houses himself elsewhwere. Our folk thin
Lamentably.

Nobility divine fills gaps of transcendence,
Soars to and from the throne heavenly,
Exalts morals near the king of ascendance,
Patrolling the good, and sons of the seventy.
A duty forgotten, replaced with dependence,
On prayers rarely heard, and logic of a herd -
Divinity is far in absence; man in attendance,
The book is a third, and teachings are blurred.
Andeliviuan corruption supposedly erased:
The creation rotten of Sariel, wanders gaily.
The holy and fallen angel’s doing embraced,
By the clay beings caressing evil like a frailly.
By God not, who from heaven him displaced.
Yet, the legacy of the wrong stands humanly,
In Thailand, America, Palestine, and all graced -
A grace of sinfulness celestial and worldly.
Religion is the poor’s only ultimate truth,
the rich’s side hustle, and the rulers’ tool;
It is the loss of power that defiles the sooth,
The one the poor has not, but does the fool.
Robbers’ servants, bread crumbs consumers,
Toothless **** dogs, emaciated lost tramps,
Little blind pawns, vultures’ puppets, tumours,
And wrenches they are, the upper hand’s lambs.
If only Raguel’s judgements fall upon man,
Raphael’s punishment beautifies this existence,
Gabriel’s wrath makes not all humans ane,
And Michael saves us, the Sarahs, in assistance.
In the heart deepened with old repression,
That mounts with plenitude of filtered feels,
Resides a universe yearning for expression,
In a meat clay who feeds on calories of meals.
Man, in the genesis, in the light, in the dark,
In prosperity, in turmoil, triumphed with vices;
vileness, abuse, wreckage is our sole mark,
On this planet whose population is in slices.

With a blistered heart
From unnumbered breaks,
A cloud of unshed tears
From untold betrayals,
I reenter the world
After an eternity or more
Of self imposed asylum
From a world of superficial bliss.
A world unchanged!
A cruel untended garden
Of deceptive beauty
And unkind thorny roses.
Lovelorn shadows,
Masquerading venomous claws
With beauteous flamboyance
And undesirable attraction.
Lethargic feelings,
Dousing my desires
With drowsing memoirs
Of countless emotional abuse,
Causing momentary spasms
In cerebral regions
Parading nocuous images
In the plenitude of projected beauty.
Scarred beyond immediate cure,
I recede from said world-
Too adverse for tender hearts
Back to hibernating moods
To nurse evergreen cuts
Cuts so deep, so lethal
Only the indolent strides of time
Can attempt to stitch!
Awaiting prophetic moments
Moments with mirage qualities
When in-love I can fall again
When a damsel I can trust again
When my heart can beat again
For one with pure intentions
Not putrefied by Hollywood mentors
*But virtuous in biblical ways*...

Bom dia a todos...Desejo que tudo corra na plenitude e vossos anseios e desejos se concretizem na abundância e plenitude. Boa vindima para aqueles que ainda continuam na tão nobre Colheita. Esta poesia é dedicada ao meu Pai: António Alexandre Marques e a todos os seus amigos e conhecidos.
Lembro-me de Ti meu querido Pai
As videiras cansadas pelo sol tórrido de verão,
O rio corre por amor e paixão.
Eu procuro a resposta que não acho,
Sou feito de uvas e do teu abraço.
As rochas xistosas esperam a madrugada,
As uvas amarelas e avermelhadas.
E tu meu Pai continuas aqui sepultado,
Pois o vinho foi teu amor, meu fado…
Palavras sábias de profeta que sonha e sabe,
Lembrança de ti e eterna saudade.
Nossa Senhora de Fátima te acolheu,
Eu anseio também para ser seu…
As uvas dão precioso fruto,
Eu continuo vivo e de luto.
O Douro sublime se consome e exalta,
Por ti Pai saudade quase me mata…

O homem e Deus
O homem assumido ou não,
Pedaço de terra, religião?
A intriga permanente do além,
A morte que sempre vem,
Mendigos procuram pão,
Ateus em procissão.
O homem consciente da sua mortalidade,
Flores renascem em felicidade,
Terreno faminto de amor e concórdia,
Deus, oh homem, misericórdia!
Homem e Deus da vida,
Comunicação imperativa,
Espíritos do homem da inquietude,
Paraíso de Deus, da plenitude!
O homem ser estranho que fracassa,
Deus da inteligência e da eterna graça,
O homem inventa e recria O Deus da noite e do dia,
Eu o venero e amo com piedosa alegria.

the light is flowing on the naked trees
reality is more beautiful than metaphor,
I'm thinking while I'm feeling
the river of darkness flowing through me
faces gestures smiling and forgetting
destroying the plenitude of not yet known
spring explodes like vitamin bombs in old scars
the life waiting to happen begging for us to contemplate
I'll never stop dreaming someone else's electrical storms
I have to learn how to walk on how to love even more
the skeleton of darkness in the hands of time

Estou com Deus em plenitude,
No riacho que corre, no canto do rouxinol,
Nas árvores com ou sem folhagem.
Estou com Deus na inquietude,
Com Deus na velhice e Juventude.
Nas montanhas que os olhos avistam,
No horizonte , na imensidão do ser,
Nos segredos para ler.
Estou com Deus amigo,
Com ou sem Abrigo.
Ondas do mar com espuma,
Deus da luz e da bruma.
Cordiais Cumprimentos.

O Douro na sua plenitude
Quando me levantei, senti aquele sentido odor de uma linda manhã de primavera. Os pintassilgos entoavam uma melodia que me ajudou a encarar o dia com mais serenidade e encanto. Olhei para este meu horizonte que se estende num infinito lonquinquo que parece estar ali para ser sempre contemplado e amado.
Que Douro sublime excelso de ser pintado por expressionistas e cantado em versos pelos nossos poetas que não deixam de o servir e o idolatrar. Desde menino que eu ganhei uma consciência duriense que nem com a morte ninguém ma irá roubar. Não me canso de tentar perceber o xisto em harmonia, complexo e eternizado com estes lindos muros que parecem até nem serem feitos por pedreiros terrenos mas sim por anjos do bom Deus que por aqui quis passar.
Casebres abandonados e fornos de secar os figos continuam na paisagem duriense vivos e ao mesmo tempo parecem sepultados para sempre no cemitério dum rio Douro que se embala num Rabelo de outrora.
As videiras imponentes parecem ressuscitar todos os anos pela altura da Páscoa. Que beleza sentir e amar um Deus vivo que bebeu o vinho para nos mostrar seu amor e assim dignificar todos aqueles que se dedicam a tão nobre tarefa. Toda a vegetação duriense exala perfume, permitindo ao homem encontrar aqui um paraíso terreno e ao mesmo tempo um purgatório disperso nos patamares onde vinhas, oliveiras, amendoeiras, figueiras, laranjeiras, sobreiros, torgas e giestas coabitam.
Quem fala do Douro sublime não pode deixar de olhar para os rostos de suas gentes. Parece até que não sabem amar mais nada, nem mais nada fazer. ...
Um saber acumulado de gerações é um legado de arte de bem-fazer vinho aliado a novas técnicas utilizadas por enólogos sedentos de fazerem dos vinhos do Douro os melhores do mundo.
O Douro corre sem correrias. É meigo com seu leito. As vinhas bebem suavemente de suas águas doces. Nós que aprendemos com o brilho do pôr-do-sol, que parece um verniz de esmalte que conforta crentes e não crentes.
O Douro que é de oiro está de deleite, de quarentena para nos ajudar a viver e a estar sempre perto da margem para embarcar na barca dum destino já traçado.

Sonhos
Pairas no pensamento, no inconsciente!
Estou eu a visionar as cataratas que explicam a beleza do salpicar das gotas de água…
O paraíso com anjos vestidos de um rosa velho mal tratado passeia numa barca que até
Já fora do diabo.
A espuma desse mar celestial quase entra em tão enfadonha embarcação.
Ruma em direção aos confins de lado nenhum, pois os sonhos se multiplicam e em segundos
Se esvanecem. Foge o vento que em dias de tempestade é frio, bate em tudo que lhe aparece á frente.
Temos sonhos dos dragões que no cabo das tormentas nos amedrontam todos os dias, nós fazem tremer de medo, chorar …transpirar junto aos lençóis de linho já raro.
Que pesadelo, que sonho arrepiante!
Existem sim os sonhos que também são sonhos de todos os seres humanos. O sonho de ser amado e amar na plenitude enquanto ser vivo.
A dignidade humana está na perseverança de quem sonha com amor a causas nobres. Na sua vida terrena o homem sonha e obras maravilhosas nascem por amor.
O meu sonho é um sonho de amor pelos outros, de dar de uma forma gratuita: um sorriso, um aperto de mão, um abraço, um conselho, uma troca positiva de olhar.
O meu sonho é o sonhar com Deus amor feito de bem, um sonhar que vai sempre mais além…
O meu sonho é amar a natureza sempre e respeitar suas leis…
Nunca deixes de sonhar, de contemplar as estrelas, o orvalho, o sol, a lua. Estamos num tempo que temos de sonhar sempre mesmo estando acordados.

You articulate in swift flight, confidence soaring,
plenitude of words, justly convincing.
Floating on breathless wind between here and there.
Fumbling with sense, coherence of purpose
between twisted bed sheets, whispering pillows;
In the freeze frame static of moonless nights.
I feel the yearning burn towards hoping truth
in a splintering fire against which I warm;
crackling up all your feathers, and concord.
In the daylight you scatter ordinance together,
recklessly aspiring to repair undoing damage:
Wings stunted irrevocably through flailing flighted dreams.
Unknown weighted obstacles glide courageously in hurtled silence,
sideways across the cool air of this post-nested room;
Waiting for gold and diamonds to appear, glorified.
The slightest movement uttered punctures you,
a soggy blown balloon squirting off these walls-
dexterity lays useless on this love-laden floor.
I stare at you spewed inanimately,
like splattered spaghetti in a fitting rage,
across the boards of our echoing abode.
Depths of sightlessness reveal tentatively:
There exists no place for a soul
on the unstable face of the dead.

I laid beside thy gate, am Lazarus;
See me or see me not I still am there,
Hungry and thirsty, sore and sick and bare,
Dog-comforted and crumbs-solicitous:
While thou in all thy ways art sumptuous,
Daintily clothed, with dainties for thy fare:
Thus a world's wonder thou art quit of care,
And be I seen or not seen I am thus.
One day a worm for thee, a worm for me:
With my worm angel songs and trumpet burst
And plenitude an end of all desire:
But what for thee, alas! but what for thee?
Fire and an unextinguishable thirst,
Thirst in an unextinguishable fire.

Why Do We Have Eyes?
Reflecting the Weakness of the Soul
Capturing The Beauty
Just to Watch it Fade Away
Why do We Have a Mouth?
Able to Tell So Much Wonders
To A Loved One
Who Do not Dare To Listen
Why Do We Have Ears?
Forever Reminding The Loneliness
The Absence Of Voice
The Plenitude Of Solitude
Why do We Have A Soul?
Remembering the Eternal
Not Foreseeing Eternity
Leaving You In Sorrow
Why Do We Have A Brain?
Conflicting with Eyes, Heart and Soul
Whispering You The Evident Truth
Of Your Insignificant Being
I Want To Pierce My Eyes
So They Never Lay Down Again
On Beauty Of A Mirage
Forever Dissolving in Front of Them
I Want To Sew My Mouth
Forever Silenced
So I can Not Hear
The Silent Echo of My Howls
I Want To Blow My Ears
Exploding In A Blast
Forever Shut
To the Shouts of Silence
I Want to Tear Of My Heart
So The Pain Will Disappear
The Crimson Nectar
Inevitably Dispersing My Life
I Want to Destroy My Soul
Breaking the Circle of Pain
Never Have Been, Never Will Be
Just Disappearing Of The Creation
I Want To Give Back My Energy
So It Can Be Free
To Fulfill A Creature Worth Living
Who Can Accomplish Something
A Creature Who Will Know
What it is to Be Loved
Just a Quantum
Of How Much I Love You

Through translucent eyelids,
the light increases.
Wherever we are, this is so.
Time zones delineate regions
where the light has been,
and where it is heading.
As some stretch slowly in
morning beds, dusky birds
across the world sound
soft evening songs.
Rambunctious, small boys
outrun their mothers,
somewhere in between.
Plenitude is with us,
in all this abundant life.
We can create an end
to the rampant, senseless
tragedy, to the desperation
looming hard upon so many.
It is what we are here to do.

"Uma corte recheada de incertezas.
Diz o mestre:
- A todos vocês condeno essas correntes ventrais.
Condeno essa pressão cardíaca, essa confusão mental.
Não desejeis vós que o sentimento profundo lhes fosse concedido?
E quem há de me jurar que com ele não viria tremenda descordenação,
tremendo derrocamento?
Ouçam o bardo correndo louco entre as paredes de pedra.
Ouçam o gondoleiro, barcarolando as canções de amor.
Ouçam o basbaque som dos encantados,
os afeiçoados e doados de coração.
Eis a verdade, corte, corte de sentimentos.
Jaz aqui o vento que me tragou a esta ilusão.
Gritam altissonantes os mares,
arriscai-vos corações,
antes que o mar os leve a vossos esquifes,
antes que seja muito tarde para arriscar.
Porém que seja espúrioso o vosso amor.
Pois é sentimento que se perde em lamentações,
e para vive-lo, arriscar é necessário, não aja com esquivança,
uma vez entrelaçado, o amor é mais que a promessa,
é a eternidade, é um fado, é um facho,
é imensurável,
é imane,
é ilibado,
insinuante sinal de maravilhas,
ofusca os olhos de quem sente,
faz plenitude e traz saudade a quem não tem,
mas ainda sim muito além,
é uma reta paralela, e dele deve ser padrinho em solenidade,
é um pardieiro implorando piedade, e nós somos a reconstrução.
Então amem corte, mas paguem o preço,
na labuta e na luta,
pois o amor é um mestiço, meio amargo, meio doce,
mas é nato em perfeição."

Penso eu, que a plenitude de uma vida,
Não é ir ao mercado e comprar felicidade,
É sim, sem muito contar, adquirir uma dívida,
Não cobrável, muito menos reembolsável!
Os meus planos eram meramente vagos,
Seguia um caminho longo, sem ambição,
Pouco mais do que sobreviver meu coração,
Não havia muito sentido para estes lados!
Contudo, e porque eu agora acredito no destino,
Estes anos todos me preparei como homem,
Para que agora, sem contar, visse o céu divino,
Que Deus me quis dar! Deixei de ser lobisomem!
Decidi mesmo despir todas as vestimentas faciais,
Sem dúvidas e calmamente feliz, me dou todo a ti,
Porque nessa mulher fantástica, cheia de sonhos, eu vi,
O amor de verdade, nosso, de segredos confidenciais!
Decidi logo ao fim de poucas horas da minha presença,
Frente aos teus olhos directos e sorriso espontâneo,
Entregar a ti, em tuas mãos, o meu sonho, contemporâneo,
Nunca senti necessidade de te pedir a ti qualquer licença!
E a chave do meu mundo, dos meus sonhos, te dou agora na mão,
Sinto o teu corpo vibrar e felicitar-se, na confiança desta aliança,
Melhor que um anel, um qualquer contrato ou confissão,
É hoje sentir que sou feliz e não tenho qualquer fiança!
O preço dos meus sonhos, da minha felicidade,
Eu te devo a ti mulher, de estimada liberdade,
És ágil, subtil e eu sortudo com imensa vaidade,
Te prometo agora amar, pela nossa eternidade.

Para ti, Liliana. És o melhor na minha vida…

"Esboços de rostos duvidosos.
Levanta o mestre:
- O amor é excêntrico, faz-nos exasperar a loucura, e infiltra-se em meio a alma pura,
faz gostosuras a cada menção!
Não faço-me incréu frente ao amor.
Ele é fronstispício judicante de nossos erros.
E nem a própria sorte o pode interrogar.
O amor é cego? Faceta da mentira.
O amor é ver demais, é demasiada plenitude.
O amor é predador praticante de cada força,
e nem em quinhentas poesias bardas, em resmas, poderão o definir.
O amor é um requerimento mútuo,
que pode ser negado ou negar-se, renegar-se, resgatar-se.
Resguarda-o, que ele é obtentor da sua obstinação.
Por obséquio resguarde-o com temor,
faz do veneno, pudor, encorajador, amante selador.
Não o deixa obumbrar o teu bater.
Aja de boa fé perante o amor, não banze-o demais,
procurando até ofegar.
Deixe que venha, deixe chegar.
O amor é canurdo de desejo,
carpir e resistir não te emancipará.
Chulo!
Deixa o amor florescer, sem temer,
arremessar suas fraquezas.
É chorado mas é valido, é gotejado de estranhezas.
Um estrangeiro nobre no território do teu estofo e frágil coração.
Mas o amor também é vidraça,
se não o cuidas, o tempo passa,
e cada trinca é o mais ínfimo da solidão."

Oh, factious viper! whose envenom’d tooth
Would mangle, still, the dead, perverting truth;
What, though our “nation’s foes” lament the fate,
With generous feeling, of the good and great;
Shall dastard tongues essay to blast the name
Of him, whose meed exists in endless fame?
When PITT expir’d in plenitude of power,
Though ill success obscur’d his dying hour,
Pity her dewy wings before him spread,
For noble spirits “war not with the dead:”
His friends in tears, a last sad requiem gave,
As all his errors slumber’d in the grave;
He sunk, an Atlas bending “’neath the weight”
Of cares o’erwhelming our conflicting state.
When, lo! a Hercules, in Fox, appear’d,
Who for a time the ruin’d fabric rear’d:
He, too, is fall’n, who Britain’s loss supplied,
With him, our fast reviving hopes have died;
Not one great people, only, raise his urn,
All Europe’s far-extended regions mourn.
“These feelings wide, let Sense and Truth undue,
To give the palm where Justice points its due;”
Yet, let not canker’d Calumny assail,
Or round her statesman wind her gloomy veil.
FOX! o’er whose corse a mourning world must weep,
Whose dear remains in honour’d marble sleep;
For whom, at last, e’en hostile nations groan,
While friends and foes, alike, his talents own.—
Fox! shall, in Britain’s future annals, shine,
Nor e’en to PITT, the patriot’s ‘palm’ resign;
Which Envy, wearing Candour’s sacred mask,
For PITT, and PITT alone, has dar’d to ask.

Pigs, lips, ***** pink mammalian fires.
Dirt, slow water curling us in and out.
Eagle, genius that doesn’t pretend
To fully comprehend the worm the grub or the mole,
But it does, more than it thinks.
Doves, stream at the horizon,
Brief oases of plenitude
Or sometimes death.
Street lights, stars of the city.
Headlights, car eyes.
Windows, the breath
And the transparent eyes of houses.
Grass, the emerald brethren,
Whose golden deaths soak up
The wine locked w/in the childs tears.
Trees, androgynous, monsters of energy,
Mangled bodies of the ghosts.
Pavement, hard, fast, speckled almost
Like sand, moistened flora, stars.

Words are all muddled
Translation lost over time
Does anyone really understand?
That no words, are easy to find.
Books are misunderstood
From different parts of the earth
It's like reading jibberish
Our words are now under a curse.
How can we understand anything?
After the Tower Of Babel
Languages are mixed and corrupted
So the original words went to hell.
Not perfect in speaking
As it's lost, and gone
Words do not mean the same
We are saying it all wrong.
How can we communicate?
Nothing makes sense
We are like different birds
Sitting on a fence.
With no understanding
Of each other, or anyone
Words are just nothing
Because everyone is so dumb.
Pleonasm is too long
No-one can explain
It's all out of date
So new words are insane.
Plenitude is non-existed
You are sashay
But no-one is like that
So we see the end of days.
When the final word has been spoken
Will anyone understand?
The end is near for all of us
We are all under God's hand.

Though i should have Maybach and Bently
And Ferari, owning houses in the world's
Chief cities--mansions worth millions
Of US dollars, with yachts and jets; and be
Decked in designers and a bespoke Rolex--
One that none again the very sort of
'Watch possesses; and with many a dove
Stunning be surrounded oft as we in ***
Roll hither and thither in uncensored ******
And i should become for merriment an epicure;
Filling my head with diverse theories impure,
which give not mine soul that lasting bliss;
And though i should have plenitude of cash
Stashed in a vault away, with gold and diamond
Great; but if not for heaven i am bound
Afterward in afterlife, then, all is trash.

“the voice of poetry in the conversation of mankind.”
<>
“Even nowadays, most of us have speeches from plays and films jangling around our heads, alongside things that have actually been said. Both contribute to what Michael Oakeshott called “the voice of poetry in the conversation of mankind.” Whether in verse or prose, there are some fictional speeches that, once heard, cannot be unheard. You find that you live with them.”

Things Worth Remembering: Nothing Is Lost Forever
By Douglas Murray 9/8/24
<>
the quote grabs the throat, a two handed grip,
but gentling, to ensure it does not go forgot,
or to the bottom the pile, or just another
never truly born, or premature to die,
guised as a drafty passing breeze,
a tickle too fickle, impersistent,
to be a poem unto itself
my thots impure, for I see, I believe,
that poetry is the conversation in all
we do have,
those that lyric wax when
one of the five big guys,
jive, sensory excited, the whiff, taste,
licks the visionary
of the need to be a completed
exegesis, a work to be telling
told
but I am old, my powers weaken daily,
the resistance training recommended,
by brain muscle, fiercer resisted
so reach for the quill,
blue lined sheet,
a cute puppy looking paper,
up for the “surprise” treat
just for extending a paw,
these humans so ease pleased,
you see,
here comes a poem
bout
poetry being bout every any,
even, the great creator struggling
to put out fresh daily,
new & improved work,
after a six day historic period,
that demanded a poem-alll-day entity,
entitled as a sabbatical day
of rest.
Here I too rest as well,
too many conversations need starting,
fires requiring verbal refueling,
and my own voice hearing a,
“get up, get out of bed,
drag a comb across your head,”
talk, and plant those newly fallen acorns,
**and let the conversations produce
giant oak trees,
and
a plenitude of poems**

Please ignore my foolish pride
I would chose not to hide
How I hate to wear this mask
If only I wasn’t so afraid to ask
I would chose not to trick
And present you my true speak
How I wish to show my true nature
How I hope to show my raw soul
And to you display the real creature
All my substance as a whole
I desire to be me more bluntly,
To be me in every event
Without concessions without being frightened
I aspire to be honest with me and you
I desire to be seem by another
Beyond this distorted mirror image
Projected to hide myself.
But instead of this
In my cowardice
I wear this glittering mask for you
And a myriad more for others
Always replacing the previous by the latest
Discarding the empty disguise
Aspiring to be the object of desire for you and to the rest
Enchanting you and them with my dazzling superficial illusion
With my mundane and trivial artifice,
Full of shinning nothingness
Don’t be fooled by my art
All my endurance is contrived
Don’t be misled by my composed carapace
Behind my foam facade
Lies a turbulent stream of violence
Can’t you distinguish?
Squeezed by the compressing margins
In my core there lays hurt and anguish
I plead with you to see me beyond my illusion
There are some many disguises inside the confusion.
And you will not distinguish my true me
I crave to be ultimately free
How I yearn to pull this mask,
And peel away my fake camouflaged skin
And show everybody my emotional scars my imperfections
All this fear of rejection
When every neighbouring glass ceiling starts to fall
I want to be on the outside
Naked, nothing to hide
Shameless to show it to all
Without consequence assuming who I’m
In plenitude in a unyielding way
But I can’t count on me for this, my will is frail
Nonetheless you my friend must prevail
And so incapable of performing this worthy task,
I relay on you
To rip away my mask
Allowing to see me trough
Accept me with my flaws
I will gratefully receive yours
Tear my mask with your claws
Heal my soul were it sours
Freed me of my emptiness
See me for who I’m
Fill me with wholeness
Trough away this hologram

Which ground shall thine eternity crawl beneath?
With agony, thou cry, thou scream and thou sleep
Staggering over time, the extensions of gore
A morph possessed over the flags: cloistered around throat
An uttering of serene eons, of atrophy and of thaw;
A morass of hegemony, of identity and war
Withered from bullets,drained over the ground
A knock on the coffin of tommorrow and the past
A chronology misplaced and outdone
And a synapse of presence smothered with the breath of dust
Which ground shall thine eternity crawl beneath?
With hope, thou bawl, thou shout, thou sleep
Chaotic commemoration ruptures over the streets
Splatters around an arcane, segregated country
Under the mud of enigma lies the rotten leaves of history
Away the tomorrow leans, restless and unknowingly
For it lies awake with the screams of a rifle, the screeching audibilty of ghostly mutterings, the camaraderie caught on flesh, between the teeth of craved monarchy
For the tomorrow lies awake near the history.
For the past suffocates the vivacity
Yclept the peace, yclept the tranquility!
Which ground shall thine eternity crawl beneath?
With anger, thou yelp, thou break, thou sleep
A hymn of sigh deafens the petrifying serenity
A sigh outraged with the murmur of life
Seismic ephemerality tears the ground apart
Barges in, the present, whispers a cry
The tomorrow lies still over the chunks of calamity
Lulled to sleep with the kiss of presence,
With the screams of a distant enmity:
The burial of time that has been cloistered around the anonymity
The burial of the ceased, the past, as a euphemism
The burial of the existence, the present, as a mayhem
The burial of the undone, the tomorrow, with a malediction
All three in the same grave, punching the timeless, imminent reality they delineated
Which ground shall thine eternity crawl beneath?
With silence, thou shatter, thou question, thou sleep
Down the ground quaffs the time
Of a city that no longer breathes
Out inundates the prayers of a dilemma
For a country is to cleave
Fidelity over a continuum, with faded prayers, shares a discourse
Befuddled with an antinomy, it asks itself, how an epitaph shall be wrought?
Down the ground swallows the confusion
Of a city that no longer cries
Now, which ground shall thine eternity crawl beneath?
To be overwhelmed by a plenitude of halves
In the name of peace, in the name of life!
Which ground shall I die beneath?
To lie awake with an eternal sleep
I no longer whisper over the divided streets
Not to awaken the past, not to revive the wounds and faded hymns
I breathe in the dust, devouring the ceased
For a divided city is to be kissed
Down I no longer hold an impulse to scream:
A gush of presence that arises a breeze
That of which billowing up the grave
Releasing a future for a road ahead
With hope, I bawl, I defy, I beg
Yclept the peace, in the name of solidarity!

Her heart is dominant
She irradiates care and concern
A passion righteous and militant
In plenitude it burns
A believer in community
She plots to draw people together
Everybody’s best interests
Are at the heart of her endeavor
She represents the best qualities
That people are generally given
By compassion, kindness and humility
She is first and foremost driven
When one day she’s cruelly taken
I cry and hang my head
For a moment it feels like hope is gone
And like all that’s good in the world is dead
But love won, it conquers all
With tragedy it multiplies
Our world could not fail to be touched
By a heart so strong, and of that size
She implored we have more in common
Than all that which divides us
It’s a philosophy we ought to keep
At heart, and anchor deep inside us
Now she’s gone the world has been robbed
Of its champion, its truest pal
But wherever community triumphs
There her spirit will dwell
