Here, hearts harden and feministic extremists Suck the life out of women, The earth germinates ashes and only your grimace Reminds me to cancel the date with the demon, Who has already set up the table For a short conversation and one-sided transactions. But you’re here and I’m happy! I’m almost not able To conceal satisfaction... I’m laughing at crooked mirrors. The transparence Of life smiles back at me with pure fondness. Urania, behind the bushes, your parents Will never discern you in oneness With me, here on my planet. Believe me, I’ve been trying to ascend, but my feet Have grown into granite And only arching my back, do I see you. How sweet Is you voice! Especially when in silence, It rings with such verve! Urania, sweep the stardust off your eyelids, Onto my palm, -- I’ll implant your offspring on Earth... But it’s Autumn and maple Leaves camouflage roads on which time skids with traction. And you’re here and I’m happy. I’m almost not able To conceal satisfaction... |

I recall this one O Master---tell me, is this line new? "I’m laughing at crooked mirrors." Love it. You surely do choose some interesting topics and always put a unique perspective in your style of writing. I continue to read you, my friend! |
