Little or nothing is taken which is not freely desired,
freely, truly and fully.

Who are you oh painter?
How are you smiling?
Under the beneath of cracked cloud,
From whom you have got power?

Didn't you like the way the ants help
the peony globes open by eating the glue off?
Weren't you cheered to see the ironworkers

Nautical boundaries of your mind
Elapsed beneath the time frame
Of your wondrous consigns
Noteworthy for applauded brain game

Walking down the solitary lane
He kept on searching for the beautiful dame
For many years, as harsh time went,
Loneliness destroyed that sensuous scent

A ride in his car
all girls wished
To fly up in the sky
he never missed

In my most recent path
upon stumbled beauty and opportunity
my eyes met her with a friendly greeting
it was like when an eagle spots its prey

Where did my soul wander in the fields of time?
As I pondered,
At the slip, sliding of time,
Memories like an old movie reel,

I walk lamely
I stutter when I speak
I forget things easily
names, dates, places.

I swing my heart on Vivaldi's ‘Spring':
Blissfully I dance amongst the flowers!
Echoes in the ether—violin on strings,
And I promenade at rosy twilight-hours.

The Chance Operations Of Short History And Features Of The World Literature Into Verse Paragraph
20 January, 2019
World literature is sometimes used to refer to the sum total of the world's national literatures, but usually it refers to the circulation of works into the wider world beyond their country of origin. Often used in the past primarily for masterpieces of Western European literature, world literature today is increasingly seen in global context. Readers today have access to an unprecedented range of works from around the world in excellent translations, and since the mid-1990s a lively debate has grown up concerning both the aesthetic and the political values and limitations of an emphasis on global processes over national traditions.

A word reminds me why I feel so less than strong
Struggle as I feel I can't stand up ever so tall
A way leaves me feeling much less bolder

Some kind of love that is undefined
You are like the light at the end of the tunnel
The dove in the sky

Any formula for scooping miss Right or Mr Right
Falls flat on its face because the race and pace of marriage

Introduction: once again I incorporate
my trademark penchant
to fabricate fictitiously
portions of the following poetic endeavor
...
godinama sam pripremao srce.
djevojke sam krstio površnom tekućinom
i slušao pobjednički instrument
bez sunca u kosi, s ironijom u očima.
svako jutro viknuo bih
a gdje si ti meni
i buncao vrhunska tepanja,
poeziju osnovne krvi
bez soneta i literarnih grčenja.
Petrarca bi od zavisti poslao Lauru
u papinske katakombe zla,
spalio sve stihove
i zatim se ubio guščjim perom.
čekao sam te u mraku
tek procvalih djevojaka.
punih 13 godina studirao sam noć,
plijevio njihove nježnice od loših
prethodnika i pubertetskih neuroza.
ponekad bijah prvi
u nizu malih smrti i velikih snova.
harem na margarinu, kruhu i vinu.
najsiromašniji Casanova u povijesti
novih kuća i malih servisa praznine.
pio sam alkohol sa veselim gubitnicima.
politiku sam pospremio u televizor.
poučavao sam bića priručnoj radosti,
svrsishodnoj ophodnji bokova.
bio sam tek u jednom stihu:
u paklu lakog mesa mladosti,
teške droge za samoću bez mira.
onda je na katedrali
izbilo Veliko Pijano Popodne.
u ekstazi teturao sam pobožno
sve do Zrinjevca,
parka koji je proslavio Zagreb
kao dvaput brušeni klitoris
najskuplju prostitutku Pariza.
plave note, modri tonovi i ti:
plavi anđeo, mali prozirni bog.
odapeli smo plavu sinkopu
i vječno pjevaju vodoskoci,
pivo s pjenom i ludi samostanski
vrtlari bez ikakva obrazovanja.
žubor relativno zdravog ludila,
naša pupčana vrpca . . .
i traperice, olovka, papir, žuto piće,
neuro-neuro u zjenicama.
vječni jazz
u našim kabrioletnim očima

The God of my mother
The God of my grandfather
And the God of my great grand mother
Infact, plus the God of myspiritualist

Just as children scrawl self-portraits
With two figures - Mom and Dad -
Grasping them by their unsteady stick-hands,
I'm drawing on the window-pane
A Kingdom of Fallen Statues -
And the outlines, delicate and fine, are wavering.
In the Kingdom of Fallen Statues all gates stand open;
Even marauders no longer walk
On the grass that seems to have shot to full height in a flash.
Non-existent temples,
And yes, non-existent dramas -
But how real, O god, how very much alive they are . . .
Gilding and lapis
Flake like skin
From the leprous faces of princes and saints,
And, seated on tombstones
Or perhaps on column stumps,
Black-hooded gravediggers roll cigarettes in yellowed verse.
Don Quixote's shield lies somewhere,
Somewhere Casanova's cloak was tossed,
Somewhere stands the tent in which Khmelnytsky hosted Europe's ambassadors.
In the Kingdom of Fallen Statues you can hear a language
Of words still warm but no longer learned.
I'm drawing it all: everything that ever vanished, or will;
I peer into my picture as into ripples on water:
Triumphant Nike's head
Is lying somewhere in the grass.
I'll draw it - and then
I'll put the period.

My heartbeat sings comely,

Intriguingly great ideas usually might happen in the bathroom; with the tranquilly expurgating experience; triggering the very best of the boundless human brain,
Exotically enigmatic mysteries usually might happen in the forests; with the unfathomably resplendent camouflage; casting a spell of unconquerable excitement upon the dolorous atmosphere,
