Insurmountable and driving,
This dead weight fuels an incendiary nature
We throw ourselves flaming against the rock face,
Furiouser and furiouser we burn out against a force uncaring,
We had such hopes for the way the world would work
But oh
Oh Sisyphus
Did you ever think
That a rock could be so maddening?
Ten million million words rest upon my lips,
But I have bitten my tongue so many times,
I may as well not have one.

and even so, you stayed
I taste rain on your lips
and I know you’ve been
writing poetry again.
I breathe into the touch
of your fingers
cascading in a soft scale
down the cage of bones
around my heartbeat.
you kiss me
knowing
the colors that drift
in my mind
like water beneath
all the bridges that were
burned for me
and you stay.

Pax Bellona (SPQR)
Fiery eyes with awesome blazing
Spark the slaughter in the field.
Roman soldiers fight amazing
As she dashes with her shield.
Burning temper starts the killing,
To the goddess' will we march.
Blood and guts the men are spilling
Underneath the heavens' arch.
For the senate, for the people,
For the realm of mighty Rome!
Bow before Bellona's steeple,
Steadfast legions far from home!
Eagles glide above the battle,
Honorbound the standards fly.
Forces clash and weapons rattle,
Proud resounds her battle cry.
Raise your swords and hail the stunning
Power of the she-wolf lean.
As she roars her foes are running,
Graceful she is fraying keen.

I need you
Forgive my tears,dear friend.
I dreamt of you last night.
And in my dreams you were so close...
I felt it was so right.
*
You said to me,despite all laws
You stayed with me,unseen.
You said that wind that touched my hand
Was your embrace,indeed.
*
I looked at you,you smiled at me.
Like gentle holy light
You came to me, into my life.
Since then it was so bright!
*
Can I describe in any words?..
Your presence is divine.
So far away,no more alive,
You live beyond the time.
*
Please, stay with me for just a bit,
A heartbeat of this night.
I need you more,oh,so much more,
Then beams of morning light.

"The 'reasonable' people's failure is obvious. With the best intentions and a naive lack of realism, they think that with a little reason they can bend back into position the framework that has got out of joint ... The fanatic thinks that his single-minded principles qualify him to do battle with the powers of evil; but like a bull he rushes at the red cloak instead of the person ... Here and there people flee from public altercation into the sanctuary of private virtuousness. But anyone who does this must shut his mouth and his eyes to the just around him ... Civil courage, in fact, can only grow out of the free responsibility of free men ..."
