History Within A Simple Poem

By EPRobles

Black A, white E, red I, green U,
blue O – whoa, vowels divine,
I’ll unravel your silent screams,
oh cosmic sign.

A, inked in darkness, swarmed
by psychedelic flies,
Tripping and buzzing through
twisted truths’ lies;

Pits of abyss; E, truth in sandy swirls,
Towering ice shards, monarchs of pearl’s pearls,
I, spit crimson, laughter erupting in wild hues,
In delirious denial, or rage’s kaleidoscopic views;

U, celestial dance of emerald seas,
Peace in pastures, where neon creatures tease,
Inscribed on foreheads, by hallucinations grand;

O, the supreme Trumpet, blasting cosmic beats,
Silences in angelic echoes and astral feats:
O… Omega… the psychedelic light that greets!

THE VOICES OF LONG DEAD WISE MEN

WHEN in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary
for one people to dissolve the political bands which have
connected them with another, and to assume among the powers
of the earth, the separate and equal station to which
the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle
them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires
that they should declare the causes which impel
them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all
men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain unalienable. Rights, that among these are Life,
Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these
rights, Governments are instituted among Men,
deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive
of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it,
and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such
principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most
likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments
long established should not be changed for light
and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind
are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than
to right themselves by abolishing the forms to
which they are accustomed. But when a long
train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce
them under absolute Despotism, it is their right,
it is their duty, to throw off such Government,
and to provide new Guards for their future security.—Such has been the patient sufferance of
these Colonies; and such is now the necessity
which constrains them to alter their former
Systems of Government. The history of the
present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute
Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let
Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most
wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of
immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should
be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless
those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature,
a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at
places unusual, uncomfortable, and distance

Mistral Blows Pain Away

By EPRobles

Upon the stagnant sea, I stood sentinel,
My vessel inert, awaiting destiny’s nudge.

Atop that mirror of heaven, I reclined,
Restless, a sailor longing.

I shut my lids, invoking
Incantations for the gentle breath

That animates the briny deep,
To swell my sails.

Whispers in the waves obscure the glass,
Awakening me, like a lover’s murmur.

It enveloped me, whispering sweetly,
Roll over, roll over, roll over.

And in my ear, it murmured its name,
A strange melody, yet clear as day:

Mistral, mistral wind.

Though I’ve long gripped the helm, I surrender
To the wind’s pilfering of my dominion,

Spinning me, losing my bearing,
Nights fleeting like fleeting thoughts.

Yet it guides me,
To towering summits,

Too grand to be real.
Mistral, mistral wind.

Each hour spent in vigil,
I await that breeze to stir me,

And transport me back to that realm,
Magic coursing through my veins.

And I sigh your name,
Across the boundless expanse.

You’ve turned me into a mad dreamer,
Mistral, mistral, mistral, mistral,
Mistral, mistral.

Lovely Animals

By EPRobles

Whiskers twitching
soft paws padding
through moonlit night,
the cat prowls,
silent sentinel
of the shadowed garden.

Beneath the canopy
of emerald leaves,
a symphony of chirps
and rustling whispers
fills the air,
as creatures big and small
find solace
in the tranquil embrace
of the forest’s heart.

Butterflies dance
in a kaleidoscope of hues,
their delicate wings
brushing against
the fragrant blossoms
of wildflowers.

And high above,
against a canvas of sky,
majestic wings
spanning wide,
the eagle soars,
a regal master
of the boundless expanse
of heaven’s domain.

Oh, to be
amongst creatures
of this wondrous earth,
to share in their secrets
and stories untold,
to revel
in the beauty
of their untamed souls!

Only For Once

By EPRobles

Once you see the ocean, there’s no other body of water that can compare
Once you see the clouds of mount Wu, no other clouds can compare
Once you feel the soft caress of a gentle breeze,
No other wind can bring such ease.
Once you taste the sweetness of ripe sun-kissed fruit,
No other flavors can ever measure.

Once you hear the symphony of nature’s song,
No other melody can right the wrong.

Once you touch the petals of a blooming flower,
No other texture can hold such power.

Once you witness the dance of fireflies at night,
No other sight can capture such delight.

Once you embrace the warmth of a loved one’s embrace,
No other love can fill that space.

For in the beauty of each unique affair,
We find the essence of what makes life rare.

O U R T R U T H

By EPRobles

When the lights fade to black,
when silence fills the streets,
when plumbing stands still,
who do we become?
Mere shadows.
History’s cycles spinning,
territories lost to time,
buttons of destruction,
children inquire,
adults blaspheme,
faith lies lifeless,
all fades into the abyss.
Governments breed hate,
while people cling to love,
politics devoid of passion,
our unity, our resistance,
against the grip of madness.
Please, sir, lend us aid,
eradicate those who barter our fate,
rekindle the flames of affection,
shield the vulnerable, nurture the young,
let us march forward, never forgetting,
our foundation of equality,
now, more than ever,
let it be our truth.

QUAND JE SUIS SEUL, JE M’ASSOIS ET JE RêVE

By EPRobles

QUAND JE SUIS SEUL, JE M’ASSOIS ET JE RêVE
(WHEN I AM ALONE I SET AND DREAM)

City streets, concrete veins,
Pulsing with life’s relentless beat.
Neon lights flicker,
Casting shadows that dance
In the alleys of forgotten dreams.

My love, my lost one whom I love
When I am home I sit and then dream

People move like ghosts,
Lost in the rhythm of the night.
Their faces tell stories,
Each line a chapter
In the book of urban solitude.

Through the door of life I met you
and fell into eternal love

Smoke curls from alleyways,
A silent plea to the indifferent sky.
Voices echo off brick walls,
Carrying secrets too heavy
For hearts burdened by the city’s weight.

But amidst the chaos,
There is beauty,
A flicker of hope
In the eyes of those who dare
To dream in shades of gray.

In the heart of the metropolis,
Where dreams are born
And buried beneath layers of asphalt,
There lies a spark of resilience,
A defiance that refuses to be extinguished.

For in the city’s heartbeat,
There is poetry,
A symphony of life
That echoes through the streets,
A testament to the indomitable spirit
Of those who call it home.

And our Hearts to never say goodbye
when sun meets moon they exchange
true light of their own

And then, as us, we exist no more
but fall into a dream of existence
where love is all things

ODE TO JOY (modern rendition)

By EPRobles

Oh friends, not these tones so drear,
But let us sing of cheer sincere,
With joyful hearts, our voices raise,
In jubilant, melodious praise.

Joy, joy, joy, O radiant spark divine,
Descended from Elysian line,
With fervent flames our souls inspire,
In heaven’s hall, our spirits higher.

Celestial beings, hallowed and true,
Within your haven, we renew,
Your enchantments weave their spell,
Uniting all, where differences fell.

In your gentle wings, we find repose,
Where every heart in kinship glows,
Friend with friend, in bonds secure,
With loyal love, forevermore.

The faithful spouse, in joy’s embrace,
In jubilance, their cheers we trace,
And souls that stir on earthly sod,
Join in chorus, praising God.

Yet those who weep in solitude,
From bonds of joy are not subdued,
All creatures, from nature’s breast,
Partake in joy, divinely blessed.

In life’s embrace, where friendships end,
The worm finds solace, true and friend,
And cherubs, by God’s throne, delight,
In suns that blaze, in endless flight.

Brothers, let us heed the call,
To triumph as heroes, one and all,
In heaven’s grand design, we run,
Our course with joy, till day is done.

Run, brothers, run, with hearts aglow,
Through triumph’s path, we boldly go,
In jubilant stride, our journey take,
Like heroes bold, our joy awake.

Joyful, joyful, like heroes we fly,
O’er stars that light the vast sky,
With boundless love, our spirits rise,
To realms where our dear Father lies.

Millions, be embraced in this kiss divine,
For all the world, this love is thine,
Brothers, beyond the starry dome,
Our Father dwells, in heavenly home.

Millions, do you feel the Creator’s might?
Above the stars, in realms of light,
In infinite grace, He reigns on high,
In joyous praise, let our spirits fly.

Universal Love

By EPRobles

In your eyes, I sense a longing, a soft belief that speaks volumes. It’s a look that bridges what is and what could be, leaving me wondering. And those parted lips, they hold an anticipation, a kiss of expectation that lingers in the air. As my hand moves slowly across your skin, I feel the warmth of your heart, the love you give so freely, despite the shadows that surround us in this world today.

My dear angel, what desires drive you? Why do you focus on me, a mere mortal? I’m just a guy, flawed and imperfect, not deserving of such devotion. I’m like a wanderer in the chaos of life, learned but still lacking, unsure if I can even hold your tender hand.

Yet, your gaze pierces through my doubts, igniting a flicker of hope within me. It’s as though you see something in me that I struggle to grasp myself. And as your hand rests in mine, I feel a mixture of awe and inadequacy, unsure of how to truly honor the depth of your affection.

You, with your boundless love and unwavering faith, challenge my understanding of what it means to be loved. For you, I yearn to rise above my limitations, to become the man worthy of your devotion. But the journey ahead feels daunting, a path strewn with uncertainties and fears.

Nevertheless, I am determined to walk it with you, to learn and grow alongside you. For in your presence, I find a sense of purpose, a reason to strive for greatness. And though I may stumble along the way, I take solace in the knowledge that you will be there, guiding me with your gentle grace.

So let us embark on this journey together, hand in hand, hearts entwined. And as we navigate the twists and turns of life, may our love serve as a beacon of hope, lighting the way through even the darkest of nights.

My dear poet, In your eyes, I see not just a longing, but a shared yearning, a connection that transcends words. It’s as if in your gaze, you hold the key to a future we’ve both dared to dream of. With every touch, every whispered promise, I feel the depth of your love enveloping me, reassuring me that together, we can weather any storm.

You may see yourself as imperfect, but to me, you are everything. Your flaws only serve to make you more real, more human, and it’s in those moments of vulnerability that I find myself falling even more deeply in love with you. For it’s not about being flawless, but about being true, and you, my dear, are the truest soul I’ve ever known.

I understand your doubts, your fears, for I too have felt them. But know this – my love for you knows no bounds. I see the potential within you, the greatness waiting to be unleashed, and I believe in you with every fiber of my being. Together, we can conquer anything, for our love is stronger than any obstacle that may come our way.

So let us cast aside our insecurities, our uncertainties, and embrace the journey ahead with open hearts. For in each other’s arms, we find solace, we find strength, and we find the courage to face whatever the future may hold. I love you now and always, more than words could ever express.

Yours forever,
The Universal Lover
