ODE TO CALLIOPE!

O.K.
O KLLIOPE,also CALLIOPE
patron of poetry
mother of Orpheus
who lived in lyre
or gave birth to lyrics
innocent as virgin.
O lover of Apollo
who gave him two sons
Hymen and
Lalemus,
mother of King Rhesus
the victim of Trojan,
mother of Linus
who gave birth to rhythm
and melody.
O dear Calliope!
who slept in anyone 's bed
and no one's.
Everyday is your birthday.
Every moments of life
in love
or war.
In passion
and sensuous
O muse of inspirations
and provocation!
We are in love with you
who are in love with poetry.
And you know that
poetry is a high wall
you either jump over
or hit it hard by bear head.
Long live logic of love
and lust.
Death yo denialism,
a complication
a side-effect
an infection.
O poetry of myth
against all outrageous boiling blooded fighters
of retro retarded era
O lovely Calliope
of naked dreams
called poetry.

Of the rose
beyond the worlds of
The world
The world is my home

THE SUBJECT TO BE SAGHAR

Indulging your curiosity to Saghar.
Saghar who?
Saghar what?
Saghar how?
Saghar why?
Saghar when?
Saghar which?
She better be Saghar,then.
In my book
She is a cup or wine glass
and in older Farsi:
Leather,granulated and unprocessed.
I checked the 1400 friends
in this wild river
we swim everyday
and found her to be :
A PUBLIC PIC
A singer?
A soul?
Or may be a surprise?
Say to me.you!
In an era of possibilities
and probabilities,
of Eistein Relativism.
And back to my book:
Saghar is Shagrin,in English,
Chagrin ,in French,like in Balzac novel
Sagri,in Turkish
Zigrino,in Italian
Etc...
Also sometimes CHGHAR,for hard stuff in Farsi
and KEIMOKHT,leather before tanning or processing.

MYSTIC RIVER

We cross path by coincident
To exchange our dreams
Embarking on a labyrinth of lost love
Found in tomorrow's mystic river.
Swim with me
in this wild white river.
Swim
and swing
while singing wild.
Swim with me
O river rider!

DEATH OF SHOSTAKOVICH

*DMITRY SHOSTAKOVICH 25 SEP 1906-
AUG 9,1975
He only looked at Stalin
on  his deathbed
and he looked at him
he was quiet
he didn't say a word
he was quiet
he didn't say
a word
either.
and he only looked at him
with sergey prokofiev
standing by
in waiting for
dictator's last gasp
before his own,

A FACE ON THE WALL

Posted by Picasaimage by: moj

There is more
to a facebook page
than just
a face on the wall.
There is shadow of
multilingual
multicultural
souls
all
at stake...
It is not called tolerance.
iIt is nature
It is substance.
