"rive" poems
Terrorism has mushroomed
all across the world.
Greenery here is not less,
some terror must be unfurled.
I 've heard that some desi
terror outfit has taken birth.
More shadowy than shadow,
their secrets difficult to unearth.
Help is required from security
agencies of developed land.
There they lock up terrorists for
years without trial on remand.
They've trained dogs to smell
terrorists before they become one.
Our country is developing fast,
soon it will be second to none.
Full use of the cyberspace
this local foxy terror group makes.
In this virtual world whose
identity is real? whose fake?
This tricksy group makes
bombs sophisticated, smart.
It targets selected only,
suddenly before they can depart.
But few unintended ones died in blast,
must be suicide bombers, Indeed!
Terrorists don't understand political
equations, what is the need?
Now our Police catches
terrorists just minutes after the blast.
Their must be some-kind of relief
for citizens shocked, aghast.
My little brother eats my head,
wants to catch a tiger alive.
Jocularly I advised it is animal dangerous,
flesh and bone it can rive.
Instead we can catch a cat and
with continuous torture and grill
we can make it confess to be a tiger,
with third degree surely it will.

As we transcend from the perfumed gardens
my hot lips climb your mount of venus
and by your belly button
I breath hotly on you and lay a kiss
I know I pretend to be prim and hawlty
but keep my secret, that I bite naughty
People would think me a ***** monger
a ****** beast with a unquenchable desire
I rive and burn with anticipation
just to feel skin against skin
I'd do you and her to, it's my fault
that I do bite naughty
I look deep into your eyes
as I move up ever forward
I reach your temple lips
and there I lay my hypnotic kiss
laying where you are my beauty
as I bite you naughty

Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o the puddin'-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye worthy o' a grace
As lang's my arm.
The groaning trencher there ye fill,
Your hurdies like a distant hill,
Your pin *** help to mend a mill
In time o need,
While thro your pores the dews distil
Like amber bead.
His knife see rustic Labour dight,
An cut you up wi ready slight,
Trenching your gushing entrails bright,
Like onie ditch;
And then, O what a glorious sight,
Warm-reekin, rich!
Then, horn for horn, they stretch an strive:
Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive,
Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve
Are bent like drums;
The auld Guidman, maist like to rive,
'Bethankit' hums.
Is there that owre his French ragout,
Or olio that *** staw a sow,
Or fricassee *** mak her spew
Wi perfect scunner,
Looks down wi sneering, scornfu view
On sic a dinner?
Poor devil! see him owre his trash,
As feckless as a wither'd rash,
His spindle shank a guid whip-lash,
His nieve a nit;
Thro ****** flood or field to dash,
O how unfit!
But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,
The trembling earth resounds his tread,
Clap in his walie nieve a blade,
He'll make it whissle;
An legs an arms, an heads will sned,
Like taps o thrissle.
Ye Pow'rs, wha mak mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill o fare,
Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware
That jaups in luggies:
But, if ye wish her gratefu prayer,
Gie her a Haggis

Freres humains qui apres nous vivez,
N'ayez les coeurs contre nous endurcis ...
Men, brother men, that after us yet live,
Let not your hearts too hard against us be;
For if some pity of us poor men ye give,
The sooner God shall take of you pity.
Here are we five or six strung up, you see,
And here the flesh that all too well we fed
Bit by bit eaten and rotten, rent and shred,
And we the bones grow dust and ash withal;
Let no man laugh at us discomforted,
But pray to God that he forgive us all.
If we call on you, brothers, to forgive,
Ye should not hold our prayer in scorn, though we
Were slain by law; ye know that all alive
Have not wit always to walk righteously;
Make therefore intercession heartily
With him that of a virgin's womb was bred,
That his grace be not as a dr-y well-head
For us, nor let hell's thunder on us fall;
We are dead, let no man harry or vex us dead,
But pray to God that he forgive us all.
The rain has washed and laundered us all five,
And the sun dried and blackened; yea, perdie,
Ravens and pies with beaks that rend and rive
Have dug our eyes out, and plucked off for fee
Our beards and eyebrows; never we are free,
Not once, to rest; but here and there still sped,
Driven at its wild will by the wind's change led,
More pecked of birds than fruits on garden-wall;
Men, for God's love, let no gibe here be said,
But pray to God that he forgive us all.
Prince Jesus, that of all art lord and head,
Keep us, that hell be not our bitter bed;
We have nought to do in such a master's hall.
Be not ye therefore of our fellowhead,
But pray to God that he forgive us all.

Learning never ends
No matter how deep we dive
No one comprehends
A mystical path, everything's alive
No ordinary tends
Before has not abjured the hive
Exists a grave in each bend
Meat from the fat one may rive
Scarcely a trend
At the end, shall he then thrive
Time, no one spends
In the state, one in a million may arrive

Rive! Split apart,
up and down
circle both ways.
Let the pearl be
down the sea
and the star
up on the high
find the sky.
Not a perfect circle
yet to scoop the last
decimal of Pi
it's fine.
Let a loophole be
only for an eye!

Be still, my soul, be still; the arms you bear are brittle,
Earth and high heaven are fixt of old and founded strong.
Think rather,-- call to thought, if now you grieve a little,
The days when we had rest, O soul, for they were long.
Men loved unkindness then, but lightless in the quarry
I slept and saw not; tears fell down, I did not mourn;
Sweat ran and blood sprang out and I was never sorry:
Then it was well with me, in days ere I was born.
Now, and I muse for why and never find the reason,
I pace the earth, and drink the air, and feel the sun.
Be still, be still, my soul; it is but for a season:
Let us endure an hour and see injustice done.
Ay, look: high heaven and earth ail from the prime foundation;
All thoughts to rive the heart are here, and all are vain:
Horror and scorn and hate and fear and indignation--
Oh why did I awake? when shall I sleep again?

*** spurgte om vi skulle drikke kaffe. bestilte kakao istedet. jeg drak min kaffe. som aftalt. vi snakkede som dengang. ingen hæmninger. hudløst ærlige - om alt andet end os.
*** sov med smykker på. iført sine læderbukser og en nedringet t-shirt. nattetimernes tomhed blev afbrudt af en snorken, som jeg besynderligt nok fandt tiltrækkende.
*** bad mig om at finde min gamle lighter frem. rive i tandhjulet i et forsøg på at skabe en gnist. en gammel flamme kunne opstå. med lidt held og den rette fremgangsmåde.
kaffen er skyld i, at jeg ikke er en del af hendes drømme. kakaoen er skyld i, at *** ikke er en del af min virkelighed.

Wake not for the world-heard thunder,
Nor the chimes that earthquakes toll;
Stars may plot in heaven with planet,
Lightning rive the rock of granite,
Tempest tread the oakwood under,
Fear not you for flesh or soul;
Marching, fighting, victory past,
Stretch your limbs in peace at last.
Stir not for the soldier's drilling,
Nor the fever nothing cures;
Throb of drum and timbal's rattle
Call but men alive to battle,
And the fife with death-notes filling
Screams for blood--but not for yours.
Times enough you bled your best;
Sleep on now, and take your rest.
Sleep, my lad; the French have landed,
London's burning, Windsor's down.
Clasp your cloak of earth about you;
We must man the ditch without you,
March unled and fight short-handed,
Charge to fall and swim to drown.
Duty, friendship, bravery o'er,
Sleep away, lad; wake no more.

Through dreams I learnt to live
And in waking how to die
The golden hand of the morning sun
Would pull, tear and rive
Culling my verve, plucking life away
Time spent nether the burning sun
Never seems worth staying awake
I have seen the land of roses
Whilst skimming the blue tract
I know how Albion looks
Two hundred metres up
Towers that sink into the soil
Transposing themselves as trees
All wonderful things i have seen
Through nightly visions and dreams

your eyes send signals forecasting a tremor.
so i pull you close and kiss the cracks
on your parting lips tonight.
broken glass and land slides,
tidal waves and ruined city,
you taste like catastrophe
waiting for a trigger.
but no, i am not complaining.
your mood may change like tectonic plates,
drift apart and rearrange
but never will i fear
your unpredictable seismic waves.
for this is a part of you
i have accepted long before
my heart began beating your name.
you may shake my world to pieces,
rive it with aftershocks and sinkholes,
but for now let's turn off the lights.
let me lull your troubled fault lines.

de er hårdt at sige farvel
til en du elsker
eller har elsket
lige meget hvad der bliver sagt
eller hvordan det bliver gjort
fordi ordet farvel er symbolet
på en afsked og ikke løsrivelse
i den forstand at man sagtens
kan sige farvel uden at give slip
og jeg tror aldrig helt at jeg har
sluppet dig
eller at du har sluppet mig
selvom vi sagde farvel for
længe længe siden
og jeg savner dig stadig
nogle gange når tiden går baglæns
og jeg mindes alle de gange du
rørte mig med dine lange fingre
og dit skæve smil der afslørede
skæve tænder
og jeg elskede hvert sekund med
dig
selv de sekunder hvor jeg havde
lyst til at rive dit hovede af
fordi du frustrede mig så meget
da du var inkompetent i forhold
til at være ærlig overfor dig selv
og mig
nu ville jeg bare ønske at jeg havde
holdt fast på dig og sørget for at
du følte dig tryg så du kunne være
ærlig
men nu ligger vi i to forskellige ender
af landet og savner hinanden
for vi ved ikke hvordan vi skal være
venner for det var vi vel egentlig aldrig
men jeg har ikke sluppet dig fri endnu
du vil stadig altid være min store kærlighed
og hvem ved om du finder din vej
ind i min radius igen
så vi kan smelte sammen
og ligge i din seng på en gade i København
og drømme om et mere spændene liv
men lige nu har du en anden
som ikke er mig
og selvom jeg godt ved at du ikke
elsker hende som du elsker mig
er det stadig kærlighed
og jeg elsker at du endelig har turde
at satse lidt på dig selv
for du ved jeg syntes du var det hele
værd, selvom du ikke selv kunne se
at du var andet end ét stort rod
du ved jeg ønsker dig alt det bedste
så indtil vi mødes igen
skal du vide at det altid er hårdt at
sige farvel
og da jeg fortalte dig at det var for sent
nu
var dét det sværeste jeg nogensinde har
gjort
fordi jeg ikke har givet slip endnu

Clear into the distance
The sun is going down
the gears shift as I make my way
driving out of town
the open lands
where the waves crash in
its time to depart
the open roads
ill call my home
hold true inside my heart
my dreams as big as the salty blue
and since you left I...
will start anew
my hopes locked away in a jar on the shelf
in an old wooden church I will find myself
and when the sun goes down
I will not wait
cause yesterdays gone
and I wont be late
In a rive on the opposite end of town
a bottle with three words pours out
but not what you'd dream
not so cliche
in old withered in "baby, please stay"
as the sun goes down I wait for dawn
the stars my fate, yesterday gone
the open land as vast as my heart
and the waves crash down
during our depart
life moves in circles
and we cant escape
my heart the weapon
your soul my aim
cause when there's nothing to lose
there's all to gain

Og jeg hader hvordan du:
Taler om dig selv og er så selvglad
Hvordan du ikke lytter til mig og ser væk
Hvordan dine øjne altid er et andet sted
End i nuet
Dine sarkastiske bemærkninger
På den måde dit hår sidder så perfekt
Trangen til at slå dig
Til at rive dig
I stykker
1000 stykker
Se dig falde sammen
Men
Jeg elsker når du ser på mig
Smiler, siger
Du er så dejlig
Så kan alt andet
være ligegyldigt

Cleave, sunder from the root
Spilled forth on the soil
Naked
Afraid
Rive, render from the pod
Scorched from the sun
Cracked
Bleeding
Shake, dither from the soul
Scarred on torment
Numbed
Immobilized
Breathe, utter the words
Cried from memories
Another dawn
Another dusk
Another night
Another cycle

Nel paese di mia madre v'è un campo quadrato, cinto di gelsi.
Di là da quel campo altri campi quadrati, cinti di gelsi.
Roggie scorrenti vi sono, fra alti argini, dritte, e non si sa dove vanno a finire.
La terra s'allarga a misura del cielo, e non si sa dove vada a finire.
Nel paese di mia madre v'han ponti di nebbia, che il vento solleva da placidi fiumi:
varca il sogno quei ponti di nebbia, mentre le rive si stellan di lumi.
Pioppi e betulle di tremula fronda accompagnan de l'acque il fluire:
quando nè rami s'impigliano gli astri, in quella pace vorrei morire.
Nel paese di mia madre un basso tugurio sonnecchia sul limite della risaia,
e ronzano mosche lucenti, ghiotte, intorno a un ammasso di concio.
Possanza di morte, possanza di vita, nell'odore del concio: ne gode
la terra dall'humus profondo, sotto la vampa d'agosto che immobile sta.
Nel paese di mia madre, quando il tramonto s'insaguina obliquio sui prati,
vien da presso, vien da lontano una canzone di lunga via:
la disser gli alari alle cune, gli aratri alle marre, le biche all'aie fiorite di lucciole,
vecchia canzone di gente lombarda: "La Violetta la vaaa la vaaaa... "

The water rushes down
Pounding the rocks below
A thunderous roar
The water cascades
Races down the rive
Relentless
I stand
Mesmerized
My mind held captive
Beneath the roiling waves
It is anger
And it is peace
Opposed yet unified
I think
On things lost
Chances, friends, lovers
I mourn
The churning water tumbles
Down, down, down
Cold and harsh
Serene and welcoming
The waters calls
The water falls
Spiraling down
The water calls
I answer

jeg synes, jeg er den mest inspirerende person i verden. jeg kan alt muligt. jeg kan tegne, jeg kan skrive, jeg kan læse mine egne tanker, ikke altid fejlfrit, men mine følelser får jeg i hvert fald nogenlunde forstået, og jeg ved, hvem jeg kan lide og hvad jeg kan lide og hvem jeg var. jeg synes, mine følelser for hende der jeg på en måde elsker (det er i hvert fald det, jeg har læst mig frem til) er mere interessante end hende, det synes alle andre også, det ved jeg, det synes jeg er fornuftigt at synes, og jeg er fornuftigere end dem. jeg har god musiksmag og god tøjstil, og de fleste er dummere end jeg. nogle gange ønsker jeg, at de ikke ville være så dumme og uforstående og stabile, og nogle gange har jeg ondt af dem, fordi de ikke inspirerer mig, med mindre jeg tænker noget om dem. men så skifter jeg mening igen, jeg skifter mening, fordi jeg er glad for at jeg er sindsforstyrret og kan læse tanker og se mig ud af alting og rive mit ansigt fra hinanden og skabe kunst af de hjerneceller, der
ryger med ud.

Somebody came to let me brake,
Brake me as easily as we cut a cake.
Easily I loved, deeply I liked,
The feelings and emotions were soon hiked.
Lil bit crazy during the time of morn,
I started missing, eating sweet corn.
She became my blood, suddenly water too,
I wanted to alive and i was thirsty too.
I was helped, so i was alive,
But never thought it all can be rive.
Its the end or what I don't know,
I have to move on so i can't be low.

In the month that I popped a pharmaceutical drug to feel better,
I smiled for the first time in months
at a lame joke,
I stopped worrying
about where I was going to be
if the zombie apocalypse was to happen,
I ceased feeling terrified
of waking up to the voice of Joey Ramone
to not want to be or feel anymore,
I wondered how Hemingway felt
as he stared at the glittering city lights of the Rive Gauche,
typing down his dark thoughts,
I walked to the blinking white silhouette of a tiny person across the street,
without hoping that the cars would magically skewer to the side
and consequentially crush my skull in,
I felt my heart enlarging like a balloon, while I stared into
his magnetic eyes,
that remind me of the glistening candlelit lights of Paris
after the war,
I craved the chocolate ice cream
my imaginary little brother bought me
while annoying me,
I listened to the world
and heard it's rambles and jangles
and knew that "every little thing is gonna be alright",
and I watch myself in the mirror
to realize that I
this person staring back at me is a shell
enveloping in the shock at my utter disbelief
that I don't know who I am anymore.
Perhaps somewhere out there,
in a parallel universe,
wherein lies reality or fantasy,
I have already given up
and is watching me here
to mock me.

Tout près du lac filtre une source,
Entre deux pierres, dans un coin ;
Allègrement l'eau prend sa course
Comme pour s'en aller bien ****
Elle murmure : Oh ! quelle joie !
Sous la terre il faisait si noir !
Maintenant ma rive verdoie,
Le ciel se mire à mon miroir.
Les myosotis aux fleurs bleues
Me disent : Ne m'oubliez pas !
Les libellules de leurs queues
M'égratignent dans leurs ébats ;
A ma coupe l'oiseau s'abreuve ;
Qui sait ? - Après quelques détours
Peut-être deviendrai-je un fleuve
Baignant vallons, rochers et tours.
Je broderai de mon écume
Ponts de pierre, quais de granit,
Emportant le steamer qui fume
A l'Océan où tout finit.
Ainsi la jeune source jase,
Formant cent projets d'avenir ;
Comme l'eau qui bout dans un vase,
Son flot ne peut se contenir ;
Mais le berceau touche à la tombe ;
Le géant futur meurt petit ;
Née à peine, la source tombe
Dans le grand lac qui l'engloutit !
