"recalls" poems
After the wind lifts the beggar From his bed of trash And blows to the empty pubs At the road's end There exists only the silence Of the world before dawn And the solitude of trees. Handel on the set mysteriously Recalls to me the long Hot nights of childhood spent In malarial slums In the midst of potent shrines At the edge of great seas. Dreams of the past sing With voices of the future. And now the world is assaulted With a sweetness it doesn't deserve Flowers sing with the voices of absent bees The air swells with the vibrant Solitude of trees who nightly Whisper of re-invading the world. But the night bends the trees Into my dreams And the stars fall with their fruits Into my lonely world-burnt hands. _______ Source: http://www.universeofpoetry.org/nigeria.shtml

Undeserved Sweetness
The Story by Kamal Nasser translation by Michael R. Burch I will tell you a story ... a story that lived in the dreams of my people, a story that comes from the world of tents. It is a story inspired by hunger and embellished by dark nights of terror. It is the story of my country, a handful of refugees. Every twenty of them have a pound of flour between them and a few promises of relief ... gifts and parcels. It is the story of the suffering ones who stood waiting in line ten years, in hunger, in tears and agony, in hardship and yearning. It is a story of a people who were misled, who were thrown into the mazes of the years. And yet they stood defiant, disrobed yet united as they trudged from the light to their tents: the revolution of return into the world of darkness. Kamal Nasser was a much-admired Palestinian poet and Palestinian Christian, who due to his renowned integrity was known as "The Conscience." He was a member of Jordan's parliament in 1956. He was murdered in 1973 by an Israeli death squad whose most notorious member was future Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. Barak (born Ehud Brog) later ruled as Israel’s tenth Prime Minister from 1999 to 2001. His adopted Hebrew name Barak means "lightning." As a younger man, Brog/Barak was a member of a secret assassination unit that liquidated Palestinians in Lebanon and the occupied territories. In the 1973 covert mission Operation Spring of Youth in Beirut, which was part of the larger Operation Wrath of God, he disguised himself as a woman in order to assassinate Palestinians. The raid resulted in the deaths of two women, one of them an elderly Italian. Two Lebanese policemen were also killed, along with the poet Kamal Nasser. Nasser was the PLO's most prominent Christian and he enjoyed "great appeal" in Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq "both as a distinguished poet and likeable personality." He was the “conscience of the Palestinian revolution,” according to Nazih Abul-Nidal, who worked with him on the magazine Filastin al-Thawra. Nasser “had the most democratic outlook of all Palestinian leaders at the time,” he recalls. He respected opposing views, admired the commitment of young people, and was a major recruitment asset for the Palestinian revolution. “That is why he was put high on the hit-list.” The previous year, the Israelis had murdered another renowned Palestinian writer and activist in Beirut, Ghassan Kanafani, by booby-trapping his car. Nasser’s successor, Majed Abu Sharar, was also assassinated by Israelis, in Rome in 1981 while attending a conference in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

It is December in Wicklow: Alders dripping, birches Inheriting the last light, The ash tree cold to look at. A comet that was lost Should be visible at sunset, Those million tons of light Like a glimmer of haws and rose-hips, And I sometimes see a falling star. If I could come on meteorite! Instead I walk through damp leaves, Husks, the spent flukes of autumn, Imagining a hero On some muddy compound, His gift like a slingstone Whirled for the desperate. How did I end up like this? I often think of my friends' Beautiful prismatic counselling And the anvil brains of some who hate me As I sit weighing and weighing My responsible tristia. For what? For the ear? For the people? For what is said behind-backs? Rain comes down through the alders, Its low conductive voices Mutter about let-downs and erosions And yet each drop recalls The diamond absolutes. I am neither internee nor informer; An inner émigré, grown long-haired And thoughtful; a wood-kerne Escaped from the massacre, Taking protective colouring From bole and bark, feeling Every wind that blows; Who, blowing up these sparks For their meagre heat, have missed The once-in-a-lifetime portent, The comet's pulsing rose.

ᗩIᑎᕼᗩᖇᗩ ~ ⚪♫⚪ ~ Out of the Palace, into the Queen's Garden. *'One that could rival King Paul's Luciuscemian Gardens,'* she thinks as she walks under the high cream arches and Grecian columns with ivy vines coiling around them.

She spares no expense when it comes to her love for herbal teas, near and far... But her mother? ~ ⚪♫⚪ ~ The Queen Mother is known for her keen eye, fast wits, bladed tongue and for her love for fashion, gardening and a frugal nature. *'Like frugal mother, like bookish daughter!'* Ainhara can not help but to chuckle. ~ ⚪♫⚪ ~ She watches as the gardeners trim the mint-green grass, beech hedges and shrubby. But what Ainhara marvels most are the flowers. Pots of lavender and roses, rosemary and mint are placed around carefully, by the white lilies, orange lilies, yellow lilies, flushing lilies. ~ ⚪♫⚪ ~ She notices that green lilies and blue lilies; the gifts from Queen Yidna; plants native to her Puhan Kingdom, are in full bloom.

I find myself pacing and sighing trying to condense my feelings into words. My mind recalls insignificant details and moments accumulated in my memory that spark my feelings for you. igniting my love into a feeling of ecstasy like no other. I translate these moments into reasons. Reasons that add up to other reasons or multiply into even greater feelings for you. But as for words..there are none. **** it I can try but it will just fall short every time. These words don't exist. Words aren't passion or love they are means of communication. And passion or love I can not communicate. In every smile. In every look. In every long car ride I spend laughing beside you. In every day I spend with you for the rest of my life. Thats where my love and passion resides. I hope that you find it there and I hope you find comfort within that.

Communication.
This isn't him, This can't be the face he's left here, This isn't the face he's used to seeing, Solidified in the mirror. It can't be the current one, Or even close, It's not at all how he recalls from the ponds he's known. Not the one admired, On crystal clear days, Or the one sang with, Through some humming nights. Maybe his memory is just fogged up, Maybe this reflection is just blurry from the showers, They'd have burned others skin. Still this can't be the face. Not with the potholes for eyes, Waning moons for lips, And cliches for brains. Or maybe things, Maybe they do just change, Maybe sometimes somethings sink in the earthquakes, And are never swam in again. Maybe sometimes there's no hope for reversal, redemption, Or some rectifying light to right what's left, Only hope in surviving the new. I guess that's all there ever was. If only he had it sooner, He would have thrived in the old world, Found melodies in the days and more mirror-less memories for the nights. Only then could things be better off, Different.

Vampirism
The old man paints seashells for all of the women he has loved. He takes his husky for walks along the beach, returning with a bag of **** and a collection of spirals and fans, still pregnant with the whispers of the ocean. By the window, he licks his brush and steadies his nervous hands. He will share a steak with the dog, and wonder when the best company became inanimate or at most; unspeaking. He had long turned his back on Dylan and Cohen, in favour of empty sound and the rain hitting the tarp in the garden. He recalls Diane and the green of life in her poetry. Louise, the blue of her moods and the sea. Each woman had coloured his life in hopeful hues, oh, and what a mess he was in their absence. (even the dog wouldn't sleep beside him) The old man drew his last breath when the silence became deafening. When he realised he could not reclaim memories through art, or through the patient analysis of nature. There was no shape or colour that had not been created before.

Painting Seashells
1682 Summer begins to have the look Peruser of enchanting Book Reluctantly but sure perceives A gain upon the backward leaves— Autumn begins to be inferred By millinery of the cloud Or deeper color in the shawl That wraps the everlasting hill. The eye begins its avarice A meditation chastens speech Some Dyer of a distant tree Resumes his gaudy industry. Conclusion is the course of All At most to be perennial And then elude stability Recalls to immortality.

Summer begins to have the look
There seems to be a universal law of supply and demand and all that’s truly had is in accordance with its command. Working in conjunction with the law of cause and effect it starts to really make some sense to all those who reflect. For anyone who believes in providence and has a genuine need it will in time be provided through faith and not based on greed. This recalls to mind the words which a Great Person once said before He was crucified and buried but later rose from the dead. _______________________________________________

Supply And Demand
Lays of Mystery, Imagination, and Humor Number 1 I dreamt I dwelt in marble halls, And each damp thing that creeps and crawls Went wobble-wobble on the walls. Faint odours of departed cheese, Blown on the dank, unwholesome breeze, Awoke the never ending sneeze. Strange pictures decked the arras drear, Strange characters of woe and fear, The humbugs of the social sphere. One showed a vain and noisy **** That shouted empty words and big At him that nodded in a wig. And one, a dotard grim and gray, Who wasteth childhood's happy day In work more profitless than play. Whose icy breast no pity warms, Whose little victims sit in swarms, And slowly sob on lower forms. And one, a green thyme-honoured Bank, Where flowers are growing wild and rank, Like weeds that fringe a poisoned tank. All birds of evil omen there Flood with rich Notes the tainted air, The witless wanderer to snare. The fatal Notes neglected fall, No creature heeds the treacherous call, For all those goodly Strawn Baits Pall. The wandering phantom broke and fled, Straightway I saw within my head A vision of a ghostly bed, Where lay two worn decrepit men, The fictions of a lawyer's pen, Who never more might breathe again. The serving-man of Richard Roe Wept, inarticulate with woe: She wept, that waiting on John Doe. "Oh rouse", I urged, "the waning sense With tales of tangled evidence, Of suit, demurrer, and defence." "Vain", she replied, "such mockeries: For morbid fancies, such as these, No suits can suit, no plea can please." And bending o'er that man of straw, She cried in grief and sudden awe, Not inappropriately, "Law!" The well-remembered voice he knew, He smiled, he faintly muttered "Sue!" (Her very name was legal too.) The night was fled, the dawn was nigh: A hurricane went raving by, And swept the Vision from mine eye. Vanished that dim and ghostly bed, (The hangings, tape; the tape was red happy 'Tis o'er, and Doe and Roe are dead! Oh, yet my spirit inly crawls, What time it shudderingly recalls That horrid dream of marble halls!

Yes, bright the velvet lawn appears, And fair the blooming bowers; Yet blame me not—I view with tears, This scene of light and flowers; Strangers possess my native halls, And tread my wonted ways; Alas! no look, no voice recalls, The Home of Happier Days. The gay guitar is still in tune; The greenhouse plants are rare; Glad faces throng the wide saloon, But none I love are there: Oh ! give me friendship's cherished tone, Give me affection's gaze; Else my sad heart can never own The Home of Happier Days.

The Home Of Happier Days
Studying the 'Base', 'Hypotenuse', and 'Height' of a triangle, My mind recalls what I witnessed in that sensual night, You were like an unconceived mathematical notion, I a novice in geometry trying to draw a straight line Of kisses on your shivering body, How fragile those attempts were, How lovely to see them fail, Lying idle on the bed like a base of a building I lured you to stood high above me, And your hands pressing my chest as a ladder, We're affixed like a right-angled triangle Dizzy, and drunk exploring our area of love.

Bombers & bloggers Tragedy is triumphant  Traffic gathers in a tweaked intersection divide Wreaking of those fuming with exhaustion   Speed, cause you prefer the highway Political in place of partial The news carries dismay Where is such trouble in this world you say? Posing proposing, regulating; Marijuana laws are changing Complaining of taxing & weighing Football, do you recalls, & puppy dogs, Amber alerts & nostalgia where it hurts Once again the news contright   Cut short cause it draaaags Ruthless the truth is; Everywhere you go, there the news is You can't lose it, tied around your neck the noose is Bed bugs It has; Talking of spread shoots, ***** mags This celebrity, the new 'fad', & that old hag Throw up on the rag; Forget it

The Daily Noose
these tempting and tumultuous  times, when the insect bite of attraction nibbles your cheek, and first blood thickens with intrigued, the blood heated by, with a bewildering new sun's glow, then bubbling boiling over with phantasmagorical fantasies, and one endeavors to coax, to tease, to preen, to adduce how best to ****** this persona, imagined or imaginary to be, whispers a silent "no thankee'' and first bloom curls into a deathly brown doom, you, chastened by amorous hastening so quick evolving, and the hither in come here, withers to a ghostly silencing, one wonders, reminisces, and sadly recalls then forgets the entreaties so eagerly received, how one wants to be deceived, for the once lay-buried-arousals now well recalled, and quick to appear, faster to dismiss disappear, and disaster cones and goes with light-speed velocity, having fling, now flung, having crushed, now crushing, you caught laughing at your self, still evolving long past the time for youthful deceptions and silly indiscretions, but not unhappily, for it was an acknowledgement that good love poetry yet within resides, alas, alas, it reciprocity seeds need replanting, and that notion is quite pleasing...

A fling, a flung, a crush, a crushing
Whitewashed four walls Silence and total recalls Ticking clock on the wall My mind begging for a curtain call Flashbacks in my cerebral theatre Complimenting the rainy weather Raindrop falls as my insides wither As I lay on my bed where we were last together 4 months gone and I still remember Your scent from my shirt down to my sweater Your voice I recall and every laughter Became history now that you found another So much done in this apartment room So much wrong ended it so soon River of tears flow as I vacate the room Another chapter ends, a new story resumes

Apartment Room
In the hush between raindrops and stone, the hills lean inward, as if listening for a voice that never returned. Low clouds drag their grief across the shoulders of the land, a soft lament in vapor, layered like old letters, unsent. The trees don't speak— but their silence is fluent, a language of absence etched in shadow and bark. The sorrow here doesn't weep, it settles in the terrain like ash from a fire no one recalls lighting. A tragedy, perhaps, of the forgotten— the slow erosion of faces from stone, the fading of footsteps into deep green moss. And still, the wind carries a lament— a breath, a whisper, a suggestion that the past is not past, it merely sleeps beneath the skeins of brooding, hung cloud. [email protected]

The Walończycy, Ghosts of Schreiberhau
One night as dark as my hair Shines the moonlight clear One night I got a nightmare And woke up full of fear One dream every time I remember Gave me river of tear This dream I wrote in a paper Recalls the girl I dear I was awaken in a pond Standing in a lily pad I was as green as lively grass Gets fluffy as I breathe so hard Definitely I am a frog A frog disliked by everyone I am a frog treated like mud Because nobody wants a frog And as a frog I also have No care of what is all around Unmindful of so many harsh All I know is insect sound But then once upon a time Two birds I saw flew apart And she calmly swum inside Then the frog and swan collide But as a frog I still care none Even the presence of a swan Standing still in lily pad Still think I am just a mud Suddenly I don't know why I notice tears in her eyes I am a frog that doesn't care But swear I can't resist to stare My body moves on its own I hop from lily pads to stones I play dumb and acts with craze To see a curve in her face Then the swan smiles so light And look far on the other side I notice how she watches his flight And then another tear subside I miss a smile from a bird That bears a broken-heart Her circumstance was so absurd Like a very solemn art In her back I took a ride We act like groom and bride We play even under the sun Comfortably have so much fun As frog I only croak But I still sing a song I croak I croak I croak That makes her laugh along But then the sky roared As well as rain poured I stop to sing She spread her wings Without a word she flee The swan left me A tear in my eye roll Imitating the rainfall I looked at the bird afar That bears a broken-heart I was like gazing at a star With a shape of a heart I’m just a frog in a pond A tiny frog who knows no fun But for some reason I sob The reason might be love Then I opened my eyes I felt cold like ice A tear roll in my cheek I felt so numb to rise Before I wrote this on a paper I hunt for the finest pen Like how the frog wander To seek the swan again

I remember lying there in the greenish sleeping bag, Staring up at the wooden ceiling with all the dust, The cobwebs sway in slightest amounts of air, And falling asleep slowly, the loft so full of must. This sinking sensation comes over me and I can see A dark shadow in the other room, it moves across the Doorway and looks as I call out for someone anyone And in panic I have a total feeling of doom. But this is just the beginning, I wake up in beads of sweat, Is this really my life or dream, have I truly woken up yet...? This story I hear tell of a man across the halls, Who would walk toward the other side At half past 12 at night as my friend recalls, A dark visage, a shadowy veil, came out When the daylight would subside. The story as I recall keeps me up sometimes, He had no eyes, again I repeat, you could see right Through his eyes!

Did you know the East Indian Bottle Masala includes as many as 27 spices, or that an oil-free pickle served at their weddings is actually known as Wedding Pickle? These and many such authentic East Indian masalas and pickles are available at East Indian Cozinha (Portuguese for kitchen), a food store started by Christina Kinny at Kolovery Village in Kalina, Santacruz. "I started East Indian Cozinha with an attempt to preserve and highlight our cuisine and culture," says the 24-year old, who has studied Masters in Social Work and currently, works with an enterprise that helps tribal farmers. What’s in store? Going back 500 years, the East Indian cuisine enjoys influences from Portuguese, British and Maharashtrian fare. The staples include rice, coconut, tamarind, fish and meats, with spices forming an integral part of the cuisine. For instance, Prawn Atola is a dry dish comprising prawns coated only with Vindaloo Masala featuring Kashmiri chilli, cumin and turmeric. "Most people from our community were farmers and would be out on field all day. So, the masalas and lemon would help preserve their food for a longer time," reasons Kinny. At present, the store stocks six varieties of masala in 100g bottles (R150 onwards). These include Khuddi or Bottle Masala, Chinchoni (fish) Masala, Vindaloo Masala, Roast Rub, Kujit Masala and Tem Che Rose. She also offers Wedding Pickle, an oil-free variety prepared with raw papaya, carrots and dry dates. "All the recipes have been passed on from generations and are homemade," she informs. However, making the masalas is no cakewalk. "It takes three days to dry spices under the sun. Then, we hand pound them and pack them tightly in bottles with wider openings," says Kinny. She recalls that in her grandmother’s time, the masalas were tightly stuffed in beer bottles. The bottles were darker, and hence, helped preserve the masala for at least a year, at room temperature. Lugra love East Indian Cozinha also stocks traditional 10-yard saris known as lugras. These are hand embroidered by Kinny’s mother, Carol. Previously made only from cotton with authentic gold borders, now, lugras are embroidered with sequins and threads. "She has been in the garment industry for the last 30 years. She also makes traditional accessories like kapotas (earrings), karis (hair pins), anklets, etc," informs Kinny. read more:www.marieaustralia.com/formal-dresses www.marieaustralia.com/short-formal-dresses

He jumps forward she free flows through the sound the yelling surrounds her slowly as she hit the ground Baby I love you, she recalls as she brushes her knees. Her son grabs his father tears rushing down his face its an all true reality from love to hate I've seen the bruises I've seen the scars of broken children with doubt in their heart

A Mosque Near GROUND ZERO??
Sophia sorts through her parents' room; they're out for the day, some Polish old comrades meeting of her father's, old war pals. She opens up the old wardrobe, sorts through things, takes out her mother's old dresses and some new ones, puts them on the bed. She likes a red one, old but well kept. She ponders, she decides to try it on. She undresses from her own jeans and top and puts on the old red dress and looks at herself in the wardrobe mirror. Her mother must have been her size back then, it fits like it was made for her. She does a twirl, looks back at her *** her thighs, turns to the front and stares at her ******* She doesn't remember her mother wearing the dress, not a dress she recalls her mother wearing at all. She looks down, it comes just below the knees, although she's taller than her mother, so it would come lower on her mother. She embraces herself as if Benedict were there behind her putting his arms around her and breathing on her neck. She stares at herself in the mirror; stares at her full length. She smells the material. It smells of stale perfume, but not horrible or clammy. She walks around the room in it; looks at herself in the mirror across the room. She'd ask her mother if she could borrow it, but then she'd have to say she'd been in her mother's wardrobe and that would cause hell with her father and she didn't want that. She take off the dress and stands there in her bra and ******* and puts the dress back on the hanger, and puts it back with the other dresses where she found it the wardrobe, in the right place, and pushes the clothes back as far as shes can recall in the order they were, and closes the wardrobe door. She dresses back in her jeans and top. She pauses by the bed. The crucifix over the bed. The Crucified staring down pityingly. She touches the bed with her fingers. She'd like to bring Benedict here; make love here. But not after last time in her room and her parents came back after and that was too close. And some neighbour had split on her and said they'd seen young man and her come here while her parents were out and her father gave her the third degree over it. Her father said she can only bring the boy when they were home. Couldn't bring Benedict back for *** while they were downstairs sitting watching TV and drinking their wine and such, and not in her parent's bed, not beneath the Crucified, except in her blonde haired head.

I'm not afraid to die of her smile because no poison no fuel, adulterated...... and no betray in her mind when she smiles deep and sweetly then I want to swim as much as I and, of her tears like ocean i wish I could swim, I can fly of her voice I love her specifically, since when we had been strangers for a day for a night of flowering season and we had smiled jointly by faced I recalls that moments by heart and silenty the beautiful moments returning with holding her shadows -- she was smiled, that pictures arrived again Like a baby of smallest ages I play and the pictures makes me happy as I feel like the climbing on the peak of mountain's I love her smile makeup, beautify herself and everything of her fashion and designing, and become natural beauty i love her like a fish loves water i love her like a bird loves sky
