"vincit" poems
The heart works for the hard work,
beating constantly as targets are acquired.
Shots fired, money wired and payments aplenty.
Contacts signed, terms and conditions defined,
it could take time, but the ***** rolling.
Touch base as we reach for the stars,
customers in charge, their business is ours.
We roll monthly, comfortably in our own domains,
renew them annually again as the pattern remains the same.
Some days, it's a struggle to get out of the pit,
feeling burnout, lack energy for my daily workout.
The wage ain't great but the dividends could add up to millions.
Some are cynical but I won't listen to those opinions.
I treat my staff as people not minions.
No need for incidents were a team of individuals.
Passionate and driven creatures,
hidden features and secret keepers.
Let's get money and lets get paid,
Theres a million ways we can earn more than the minimum wage.
Let's raise the bar, the city is ours and the worlds not too far away...
Dream tomorrow and live today.

With false hopes and dreams
I stand here waiting for you
To fulfill your vows

You see.
We all have them
Either confused
Or
Misunderstood
Now
I have fallen in love
Not because
I am reckless
And someone
Who loves and throws things away
Nooooo
That's a confusion
I have fallen in love
Because of self less respect
And because
I awe
And admire
you
I respect you
I not just yearn
I want you
To have the best
Hope you do
Remember
That love
Conquers
All
Amor vincit omnia

Carpe diem/A poem written in very odd Latin!!
Carpe Diem,
Angelus obscurus suni,
Quaque nocte, diglossios,
Pavor Nocturnus,metus,
Sominum,
Scribo carmen poeta,
Vita amnia fides,
Omni vincit omnia!
Well that was fine fun **
Full permission granted to those who wish to laugh!!
For,I believe I have written,
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seize the day, (I know that's right),
I am the dark angel, gloomy,
Every night I don't sleep, because I have breathing difficulties!, fear,
leads to night terrors, daydreams,
writing poems,
Life and trust,
Love conquers all!

Kind regards, Livvi,
Apologies for the somewhat odd content!!
Couldn't work out suitable phrases!!

Let's steal my father's car
even though I don't have my license yet
even though you're not allowed to drive in this country.
Let's run away to a place
where your parents aren't fighting
where your mother is healthy
where my family isn't toxic
where I'm not burdened with crushing responsibilities.
Let's roam endlessly under the stars
with only the moon to keep us company;
let's escape to a place
where the cops won't pull us over
where only you and I will matter;
let's escape to a time
when you and I can happen.
Let's drive away to a place
where our laughter will resonate
for miles around;
where your face will bathe in starlight;
where we can be the only lovers left alive in the galaxy;
where your soft lips can touch mine again;
where your fingers can draw patterns all over my skin
with invisible paint;
where we can fight until we make out:
your lips
my hips
your hands
my hands;
let's run away to a place
where nothing else matters;
to a time
when we can forget about the world.
Let's escape and paint the world anew
in screaming color,
in bright lights,
in loud sounds;
let's leave all fears behind
because you've been hurt
and I've been hurt
but I've had enough of being wary,
I've had enough of guarding myself.
Let's steal my father's car
and run away together
to a time and place
when and where together exists.
I'm sick and tired of this pride,
Of building walls around us,
I don't believe in
amori vincit omnia
but maybe I can warm your heart up
and you can stitch my scars up
and maybe this will be enough.

I read about the how and the why
and the where and the when
of love
and rarely see plain words
that show the range of reaction
of love made manifest
giddy night time
singing to the moon
babbling inanities
to all the friends
who make time to listen,
scribbled words
as blind offerings never posted,
damp misery
crying to a nighttime pillow
salt tears falling
into your morning coffee
and nighttime soup
and the worst
looking up at the window
where the lover lives
deaf and blind to you below
and yet I know
all those
who have been out on that limb
and have come back
are rarely defeated
and quickly set out
to once again gamble
in the crapshoot called love

Love means: no surrender;
No weapons thrown to the ground,
Don Quixote charging windmills,
Just to knock the giants down.
Love means: no more evils;
No more swallowed poison pills,
Men taking deadly medicine,
But it won’t cure the chills.
Love means: coming back again;
Never having to abstain,
From every sweet indulgence,
You never can contain.
Love means: the Heart’s evince;
A radiance not know here since,
A true mind took the blade,
And the bodkin took the prince.
Love means: no masquerade;
All our truth on Parade,
You don’t have to take the cross,
But you can’t stop the crusade.
Love means: No more loss;
All deep chasms bridged across.
You can still blow out the candle,
But you can’t switch it off.
Love means: souls entangled;
Entwined as dangling bangles,
Draw about your neck,
All other feeling strangled.
Love means: complete respect;
Unconditionally, you needn’t check.
Undeniably, we all need it.
Unconsciously, you feel effects.
Love means: The grand idea;
Conquering without fear.
And until Maria returns to Judea,
The truth is: Amor vincit omnia.

We don't play dumb because it's not a game and truly very lame.
We don't play blind because a few wants those eyes but if you want to, then pay the price.
We don't play tease because we're not dumb nor blind of the truths that's here.
But if I change my mind I guess it's still and will always be a NO.
I'd build up defenses with no words to throw.
All the obvious has been laid.
Haply stories has to be said.
So this is the battle I should face,
to a place where I'd surely leave a trace.
If the crowd should understand
or if i choose to stay away;
I was too weak to speak and say
but all the decisions are beyond what I can withstand.
I do not hit the blocks just to prove I was right.
because deliberations has been truly my everyday fight.
What takes me aback is rather the truth.
But what scares me more is the possible fruit.
Yet the story that never ends
seems to be a history that never bends.
Now I choose not to be scared.
Vincit Omnia Veritas, Amicus.

The power of love
Is a burning crusade
Started in a heart
That is ablaze
Burning with passion
For the sharing of lovers' days
The roads are tough
But together they move on
The mountains are high
But their arms are strong
Life's never easy
But together they know
That they'll find paradise

The feelings I have for you are strong
But I'm scared that you might treat me wrong
But my love for you has been here for so long
I guess I've been feeling this way for eternity

RESURRECTION
No more
no more of the past
that is sleeping in the dust
now, now
is the moment that changes all
doubts dissolve into oblivion
all is crystal-clear
the heart is at perfect rest
remembering is a dumb act
forgetting is wisdom
he who has conquered memory
is the ultimate victor
vincit qui se vincit
this is a new day
a new world
no more regret
no more pain
this is my resurrection
I have found
my true voice at last

When you find yourself trapped in a desperate, despondent hole
and you feel that one person has torn apart every piece of your soul,
but you find yourself able to live, laugh and love again even after the pain of heartache,
that is the day you realise that you're stronger than (and love conquers) all hate and heartbreak.

ENEMIES
Should I say I have enemies
but rather
that others single me out
as such?
I don’t even know them
how could I?
they never said to me:
‘ You are my enemy’
and why me?
I am of no significance
not in the market-place
not the cynosure of others’ eyes
so few people
know that I exist
do I have the time
or bother
someone has targeted me
as an enemy?
Doesn’t that person
have better things to do?
but I don’t choose
to be the enemy of anyone
I have enough problem
of my own
only one enemy
I dread
lest it destroys me
that someone
is with me
every moment
all the time
day and night
it won’t let go of me
it clings worse than a leech
to my skin
it exhorts
challenges
teases
displeases
chides
blames
even pontificates
wanting to over-power me
in everything I do
trying to undo
what I count
to be dear to my heart
even threatens me
in anger
indignity
without a single straw of mercy
even in my sleep
it doesn’t leave me
it wants to haunt me
so that I would know no rest
I turn the corner to look
at that creature
my worst enemy
oh no
it CAN'T be true
that monster
is none other than
myself!

The horizon of the sky falls beyond your way
So take a breathe and listen to the music pound for pound
ounce to ounce
Love like its the end of the World
And make the best out of it
Or else you will regret it for the rest of your life.
Every single thought we always created in our mind
Sometimes we lost through it
Just like the other day or a few days ago
But we always end up going back and forth to the place that we never expected
The moment that we says "truth or dare"
Its like a piece of a living proof
We hide and uncover stuff
We laugh and we cry
We make friends and better or worst enemy
But we always end up loving each other
Hugging and kissing
The lost powerful soul,spirit of ours
We electrified the love that we always found
So take me there and
From this moment
I'll
Take
Your
Place
As
Mine
Love begets

-mors vincit omnia
The many old who live alone
must pay attention, take care.
Any misstep might hasten their descent.
Tumble down the lonely steps.
Lie waiting in your own filth,
unable to reach a phone.
What loneliness must attend such a fall?
If only we could choose.
Proud Aeschylus was struck down
by a falling tortoise.
That’s not too bad.
To be hit by a bus while
lighting one last lethal cigarette.
That’s even better.
In bed, at ninety, chugging toward
one, final gasp of ******
Even better yet.
But not in a strange bed hooked up
to noisy, indifferent machines,
poisoned by chemotherapy,
surrounded by terrified
friends and family struck dumb,
embarrassed and uncomfortable,
stunned by their own fears.
Best on your own two feet.
Like a soldier before the bullet.
Like a Viking struck down in battle.
Like you might have even mattered.
But there is no choosing.
Decrepitude is woven in our DNA.
You cannot escape the
inevitable carnage of mortality,
but you can be very careful
where you place your feet.

"Amor Vincit Omnia
(Love conquers all)"
M. Caravaggio
He said: Turn back the drapes,
this requires an early
morning light....
He said: How rare...that pervasive
primary color.
He said: There was dew left on the
skin from the bath.
He said: I have painted holy men!
He said: The brush wasn't wet
enough.
He said: Notice that triangle of sable
below the navel? A difficult
color...
He said: I never saw Matthew and
Paul like this.
He said: There's no mistaking his
aura.
He said: Turn more to the right.
He said: If I were a woman--
I would love him too.

I wandered long through noctis viae — roads of night,
Where shattered stars fall, pale with fright.
The moon, a fractum speculum, weeps in vain,
Reflecting back my silent pain.
Yet ex nihilo, from void you came,
A whisper soft — a spark, a flame.
Your eyes, ignis aeterni, burned through rain,
And lit the corners of my bane.
You broke the walls of stone and thorn,
In your embrace, my soul reborn.
A caro et anima — flesh and soul aligned,
A prayer from lips the gods designed.
Where shadows bloom, you plant your name,
A rose that blossoms in my flame.
And though the winds of fate may sever,
Amor vincit omnia — love conquers ever.
Still, as dawn creeps on trembling feet,
I fear this dream may taste defeat...
But if we fade like morning's mist,
Eternity lives in one last kiss.

One does not scale then claim
the ancient mountain
Nor by pretension tame the sea
Sate the deep fire’s searing fountain
Noble, though futile attempts be.
Blood, sweat stained, predatory
Alone infernum, lux ignis I stand.
I fight with no hope for victory
Mine crimson staccato metronome,
life’s sweet stain on desert sand.
Dispassionate, Fire’s breadth consuming all
Whilst ever hollowing from within;
Cracked lips cachinnate the brazen gall,
Endeavoring as healers’ medicine.
Adrift till the last ember chokes,
emptied all of malice and slaughter,
Peace be that last repose, my nox aquis,
to be embraced by night upon the water.

But what if we met today,
Under the rain that was already premeditated,
A drop would roll over my left cheek and your eyes would follow it,
It'd reach my upper lip and disappear as moisture,
But you, you'd remain standing there
In front of me, like a flawless work of art.
Mistakes or righteous acts would stop mattering,
None of us would turn into smoke and vanish away,
But for once, we would be as flesh and bones,
My happy reason;

If you find true love,
Grab it with both of your hands,
Never let it go.
It comes only once,
And that if you are lucky,
Never to return.
Do not question it,
Or **** it to dissect it,
Take it as it comes.
Whether in fair form,
Or worn and riddled with scars,
It will bring you bliss.
Look not with your eyes,
They will always deceive you,
See it with your heart.
Its beauty won't fade,
It will be forever new,
As long as you live.
However it comes,
No matter how strange its form,
Give it half a chance.
It will change your world,
Fill all the empty places,
In your dormant soul.
And it will ripple,
Throughout the known universe,
To outlast the stars.

(for Sulekha Amin Omar)
"Omnia vincit amor."
-Virgil.
I see vast seas asleep in your eyes;
And mere smiles that pour joy into my
heart,
I see in you a blessed beauty unknown up
till now!
I see you as the sun treads westward,
And arrows spread as blind sky reflects
I see you alone among all who under the
sky live!
I see the delight you bring to a troubled
spirit
And see the dawn of New Spring as you
in my thoughts come ,
I see you all the time, Darling, lest I Love
You forevermore!

We were born to love.
No one taught us the side effects of loving someone.
They never specified that expectation kills faster than anything else.
Or that disappointment turns your heart into stone.
So instead of loving, you pull away.
Doing so you learn your true value.
You learn to love yourself.
And then, eventually,
You find the one.

With a drop of his blood she could dance all night,
Hear the horses thunder across the country green,
She's hardly seen the Westside of things;
The forgotten sea where the first Spanish tongues layer with sand,
But back to this beautiful unfamiliar,
Back to the feeling of self worth,
Of knowing you mean something to somebody;
It all stems from her intention,
She calms the pacific from light years away,
From a direction unknown to radar,
From an aliens perspective;
Far away home, an angle at an untouchable space and time;
A worm hole inside the galaxy of her mind,
He's on her mind but he's on the run,
Movin between the waves in her brain;
Watching every one of her thoughts dance around his shadow;
Finally he arrives at a painting,
He's quick love and she's quick to catch,
The heart, true emotion from far apart,

Not feeling well today.
Like if bomb exploded
in my head.
Heart bursted out of chest,
I'm swimming in a sea of sweat,
so hard to inhale.
Cannot explain,
I just feel so bad.
Inside I'm freezing,
on the outside – hell.
911, I'm begging:
“Doctor, doctor, can you help?”
He examined me,
and looked so pale.
“There is no hope,
I am afraid...”
Lights went out,
the world gone gray.
Then with many words
to me explained,
why I'm such a hopeless case.
Such terrible is my fate,
that my illness name
he cannot say.
But I know the cause and the cure.
It's only one, it is you.
I know you don't feel that way,
But listen to what experts say
“Can be lethal,
can be great.”
You have your methods,
and diagnosis.
Avoiding me, like the plague,
with disgust watching my necrosis,
how with every word it spreads.
But silence?
Oh, your disease of choice!
What a sweet, sweet poison!
It's so clean!
Killing from within,
with everything
you will not say.
What a cancer!
Feeding itself
on deepest fears
and regrets.
But it's not mine, it's yours.
I have a different sort.
Maybe it's leprosy.
Oh, don't you say! I can feel it!
Flesh falling away,
the numbening, no pain.
I must look so grotesque,
like an elephant on parade.
No, I won't get away that easy.
I know what it is
and I have fallen completely:
“Amor Vincit Omnia"
I've been conquered
by love.
No, I'm not OK,
but I guess I'll live,
though know not for sure.
How about you?
What will you do
to me?

it must be one one of my favourite quotes,
given the thickness of the novel,
thick as a hefty loaf of bread...
*to angels - the vision of god's throne;
to insects - sensual lust*.
and some for others: the liking toward music
playing is much more than
toward a woman moaning, subsequently snoring...
in a tight-fit straitjacket,
a women loses all the time when compared
to music:
*musica omni vincit consortium
sine opus femina enim*
music wins all consort without a need for a woman
a "...
stressors galore...
when roger became the rabbit,
and the rest was the warner & co.
humming party imitating
atillas' yawn...
and the lost genghis
trip into movie...
*mort apparens in rufus; rufus vividae;
agricola in cataracta*;
death apparent in red, the vivid red;
closure in a waterfall.
