Listless in symmetry one says
is line lies of the past
sheer not be the curtain
through which light is cast
take the mercury and sink it
settling temperature within the skin
profuse dilute singe
incite your poison wine
for there it is written
tattooed lavish
inking a filtered mind
weed cripple deep
alone a lion settles dust
quiet scratching's
piercing the screaming mime
let him parade the stage
for there the parlor tricks
whittle rhyme
nipping bits and chips
hand over fist its the dirt of the lip
that snarls its fangs upon
such recessed pangs
nay to joy

stay torn
break apart upon public eye
so Roman games breathe life again
this be the height of gladiators fight
and folly to the pouring in afterthought
for roses shall be tossed and favour be lot
shedding such modest skin

 

I opened my window with a shutter
and let the light beam in
sipping life wide awake
from disfiguring dream

You do your real name honor here G. for I won't speak it out loud lol, wow, what a fantastic ancient vision of the old Romans, and their vain reality. I liked this muchly , your pen knows no limits, wich planet you saw this time? Saturnus? :D for I saw it. Great work...

"quite scratching's
piercing the screaming mime"

Is a most fascinating sentence.

I see the lion moving in a dream-escape,
Whirling his legs... scratching his enemy.

Well done dear friend, always a rich vision you share.

But I'm weird, i could have spoken to Dionysos before posting this... LOL

Indeed You see what I Pen;) A freeing Planet--indeed whirl lol I raise My Red Glass in toast and humbly thank You Dear Elisa!!!

Awww, don't drink too much of that blood of pleasure, it can make you really reach dionysos LOL hahahahaha I love your writing, you're so good, in all you do, we have a match here! thanks my dear friend :D

Ahhh such Bliss ;) Indeed I thank YOU!!!

You are most welcome, I do admire writers especially when they dwell into our European culture or even the Asian, and you do :)

its what I grew up on---they were my first reads in Youth...I was odd (never left) reading Myth and cultural tales when I first entered school-age...it never leaves me...throughout life...i'll wander away from it and then plunge deeply back...histories too of my country and the world---such fascinating things---of course I have balanced out life with equally nonsensical works as well...that fine line between enlightened/ entrancement by shiny objects (much truths in the rhythms the Asian and Old European ways --in life and Soul)

Oooh that's fantastic to hear! :) I knew you had interest or connection with it. Are you a hellas blooded? I almost thought so... for you have dark hair, dark eyes. You could be Greek you know. But that aside, I'm pleasured you have got this education no matter what, for it are somehow the old leaders we all yearn for, like I've been reading you saying somewhere else before. And it's true. WE NEED culture, for when we are just a society of rules, civility, and prestation... I would also yearn for the lay-down Greek mentallity, in all rest, space and happiness, and philosophy, for they are the masters of it, (urgh.... wake up Eli) our Econonly shrinks by them... tru true, but still love them.

Indeed I could live as such ;D ...since about 6 yrs of age I have had a reoccurring dream (some subtle changes) that I lived in Ancient Greece, though it was turbulent situation the dream takes place in...and it is the last few hours before my death...(this happens twice a year...sometimes years between...cant quite figure the rhythm of it...but I am part Cherokee/ Welsh (and the Cherokee is generations back...Indeed these ways of the past, always it seems the glory has passed/ and at the same time as if we are ALMOST able to grasp it again-one can hope...(I practice the Greek mentality as OFTEN as possible--without enough laying down though- stay busy moving in thought and action/reflection Pondering the awe of ALL--to me that's perfection of relaxation :)

Oh you're a rich soul, if you 've experienced also almost death experiences, like me. I can tell you. I knew you weren't not totally USA-er, or whatever, you're too lovely dark haired for it. It is perfection of relaxation as from my asian part, that's balance, I do martial arts, and will tell you more about that balancing part.... :) so great to have a bit of your past, and presence here, told, I can better review, and see you as a wonderful person now :) (already did) but now even more. :)

Ahhh indeed-Reflect---Rich soul-Connections are the tap of Life--I thank You Eli!!!

I thank you too precious soul! for you see many things which can bring you further....

Such a vivid picture... I love the Roman gladiator imagery, and the way that point a spotlight on the fact that life imitates life imitates life...until we find that it is all a full circle orbiting constantly toward some kind of unexplainable infinity.

The last lines truly spoke to me...bold and beautiful in their stark reality. Breathtaking and strong at the same time. Fantastic.
