One night we sang an old war song,
About the “BOYS IN BLUE”-
The song was sung by “BOYS IN GRAY”
They seemed to like it too!
We saw again the river flow,
WHERE THE LINCOLN GUNBOATS LAY!
WE HEARD THE DRUMS THAT LED THE BOYS
FROM ‘LANTA TO THE BAY.
We saw Old Lincoln, on his knees,
All quiet like….to pray…..
THAT THEY COULD [...]

One evil the court protected us from
Was the brutality and whoredom of war
We hid in the grass behind the stadium
While young men played at combat for the gamblers.
In the Piraeus the battleships waited
Gold and silver changed hands
Even Amazons were recruited
To blacken the skies with arrows over Turkey.
Above the bazaars, within the garden walls
Artists made the [...]

“I am not in the skies
I am not in the seas
I am not on the mountains or hills
I am not waiting.”
These words I spoke aloud
Your message – your death was long since past -
I am another meaningless oracle
The priests listen closely to all that I utter.
When I visit the shrines much gold
Is sent to the [...]

When dreams dry up…
How long can grief persist, in the human mind?
Only till the dreams dry up in this earth!
I reckon the darkness, and the murk,
I reckon the light and the radiance, as well.
But who can comprehend the shape of
A shadow which intervene in its midst,
And changes its character?
Why is my mind holding an umbrella [...]

Can’t you be present in my life always,
Showering the ecstasy of ambrosia,
For us to live together for ever and ever?

It was not me who kissed you in your slumber;
But the rays of the emerging moon.
Not my nail which scratched your cheeks;
It was only the cupidโ€s arrows.

Until when, the woes?
Till our dreams in this world dries up?
I am cognizant of gloom and radiance, yet
Who can decide on shadows, which intervene?
It changes its shape and character, incessantly.
Why does the mind keep an umbrella above its thoughts,
When storms of dejection agitate the mind?
Let me bear the black coffin of frozen [...]
