Intrepid Traveler
Oh, you poor intrepid traveler
If only you knew, we're all cheering for you
Because we're all in the know
Except for you; no, you don't have a clue
Your journey entertains
From which you can't refrain, oh no
It's the same old story again and again
Oh, you poor intrepid traveler
If only you knew, we all walk in your shoes
From the comfort of our home
We all watch everything you do
The movie entertains
But we can feel your pain, oh boy
As you’re bound to live it unto no end
Oh, you poor intrepid...

Superheroine
The brushed on mask is a metaphor she wore
But she can't hide from my eyes anymore
Her elegant cape is merely a sylish cloak
As the artist within is naturally baroque
Magically she heals my wounded heart
With poetic spills pouring out of her art
Her power arose from a skill to impart
Salacious flows streaming from her amorous heart
She maintains a sky of excellence
Finishing first in each test of endurance
Rising to limitless humbling conquests
Running down all my intellectual protests
My caving resistance is effortlessly...

the lady who clean the dead
The lady who cleans the dead
The woman who washed and dressed the body of my wife´s brother came for a visit and to get paid for her service
I noticed the nails of her hands were manicured pink
did she in her daily work touch more dead bodies daily than live ones? She looked beach clean, bet she used gloves when eating lunch.
I made ill at ease, studying her like she was an alien, deeply tanned, this was understandable spending so much time in a cellar full of corpses.
Why had she chosen this profession, perhaps she had studied to be a doctor and failed.

near the docks
Near the old docks in Genoa where old dwellings stand close together making streets narrow and families live is
lived rather noisily, where women hang laundry to dry on small terraces or on window ledges.
Sometimes when several street merges, the open space is called a plaza, where fruit seller, tobacconist, and cafe where men sit and smoke, drink red wine, and argue
about politics, in a gruff manner.
When the crew on his ship took a taxi up to Gramsci Street to seek the bright light, he walked to his cafe, lit a cigarette drank good wine, ate bologna or ricotta or...

posters
Wall posters
There is in a town, not far from here, a house with a tall wall a solid protector from prying eyes, the house has shuttered windows, which makes it a Mediterranean dwelling
The wall is a perfect place to put up posters of coming
attraction, when the stout opera lady is singing at the people's hall or when the circus is coming to town
Posters of different colors tell of a future promise that has come and gone.
There is a square with a cafe with tables and chairs that serves home-cooked meals at lunch, simple food with
tomato salad and wine...

Molave's Secret
Molave flows into hammers then hands
and shoulders of bridges and railroad ties,
a hardwood chosen for forever.
Light gold in interlocking stripes swarming
the expanse of beds and dining tables,
around torsos of heavy furniture
but it shivers when the day changes,
complains with loud reports --barks!
plate tectonics in timber stirring me
in the dark, insinuating into dreams,
in sleep already distressed, like gunshots
in the night but inside the bedroom.

a nation demise
A nation demise
Women's rights are at a crossroads, the right to go up to the top in any corporation, sit at the table making decisions that might be useful for the firm, but unsafe
for the society impressed by the powerful.
The highest accolade, often overlooked, is to give birth to a new life, only a woman can do this, but we appear
to forget what is important
The continuation of human life.
Women, married or not ought to have four children if civil life as we know it is continuing, that means a society must free women economically to pursue this ...

Vengeance
It is late at night my study is warm, and the wind is blowing. I dislike drought I get cold easily
I know it is time for bed, but I hesitate in case I lay there and cannot sleep thinking about when I'm going to die that is the date and if possible the hour
We live in a dramatic stage in human existence we have the chance to eradicate ourselves; No doubt there are
atomic Holocaust will clean the air and from the ashes the phoenix will arise and the righteous will live on and
Thanks to the almighty god for making this possible.

the Spanish Queen and football
The Spanish queen and football
This forenoon in Cascais was very hot, sensibly I was not going out, switched on the TV and saw the second
half of a football match between England and Spain.
England, the favorite was on goal down at the time, but this didn't bother the biased commentator.
Since Spain was the underdog I rooted for this team but also because I took umbrage at his arrogance.
Not to forget, Spain is next door to Portugal, one has to show loyalty to Iberia.
What was watching was a new sport, similar to soccer
fast, but with sonorousness,...

the uncompromising spirit
"You are the architect of your own future, so design your future
with uncompromising sincerity."―Debasish Mridha
not to be won by caresses,
nor to be silenced by threats;
not to be sucked in by kisses,
nor be interred by defeats;
stand i alone on this mountain,
while, all around me, the throng,
eager to dry up my fountain,
weans, of its lyrics, my song.
not to be bought by compromise,
nor be outsmarted by stealth;
not to fall blind by hypnosis,
nor stand a victim of wealth;
steady,...

Siren
these waters get turbulent when the moon shines bright
I'll sing your ship to shore in the darkness of night
come and find me in my crystalline cavern
where the water is warm underneath fluorescent patterns
the forest is dark and the night full of terrors
you're wearing the armor, but I'm the jewel bearer
guide me to the tower of light by the sea
I owe you my life because you protect me
and I'll cling to you like a sacred oath
I thought this would be a road I'd walk alone
but you light my way when I need it most
you're the...
