A sonnet of love to a heart pure as molten ore;
With reasons to be kept captive within thy lovely prism;
Of course, I shall remain marooned on this mysterious shore;
Lest, I sail far away from thy romantic phantasm;

Demons, hell and, prophesies shall rise against us;
For I am the son of the Earth and starry heaven;
Demons, hell and, prophesies shall fall beneath us;
For our love soars beyond the reach of the elderly seven;

Whilst mortals seeketh redemption from the most high;
Thou took me and soared into the wind, on thy wings of love;
Verily, I believe my immortality lies between thy Nubian thighs;
For a life without your gaze is a life worth living no more;

From the Milky Way galaxy to the Pegasus;
To the envy of Zeus, behold, a sonnet to Amicus Meus.
Lady Wolf Jan 2014
We don't play dumb because it's not a game and truly very lame.
We don't play blind because a few wants those eyes but if you want to, then pay the price.
We don't play tease because we're not dumb nor blind of the truths that's here.

But if I change my mind I guess it's still and will always be a NO.
I'd build up defenses with no words to throw.
All the obvious has been laid.
Haply stories has to be said.

So this is the battle I should face,
to a place where I'd surely leave a trace.
If the crowd should understand
or if i choose to stay away;
I was too weak to speak and say
but all the decisions are beyond what I can withstand.

I do not hit the blocks just to prove I was right.
because deliberations has been truly my everyday fight.
What takes me aback is rather the truth.
But what scares me more is the possible fruit.
Yet the story that never ends
seems to be a history that never bends.
Now I choose not to be scared.
Vincit Omnia Veritas, Amicus.

Is your best friend a dog,
a thesaurus is mine

As yours wags its tail
—mine forever sets me free

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)
Lostling Jan 31
I didn't have a name
I had no identity
I was nothing and no one
I existed, and that was it

Until you found me
And gave me something to call my own

"Amicus"

I liked it
The way it left your lips
The way I knew it was mine
I was finally someone

Someone in your eyes

Did I never notice,
make note for future ferance re
sufferance, under the load of we,
the people. we,
the people who lived on land
rented from Mormons
who claimed the God who runs
Easter and Christmas gave it to them,
for being brave enough to take the land,

as had the valiant Evangelista in
sisting resistance to Hari Krishna- yeah

I was alive, when the times did change.
I was the bargaining chip that tipped the bet,

straw boss, that is one subliminally poetic
job title, given me, as anyone could see,
due to me, being so good with the spiritual
interface on a standard fifties American mind set,

absent, the reading done in college prep, by those
who run the world now,
boomers, big wave of new blood, with a few set
aside for trial runs,
some things we never tried on Turing, but Von Nueman
says the all
go rythms have been mediated,
forming a message that never
ever
may be altered,
but it is in code.
- not possible without faith to know
- the imagined unit of measure
- is prescience - possible
- original bias to plus,
- as we well recall a while ago, each
- matter was balanced in antimatter
Pfft.

v: for inimical
from Latin inimicus "an unfriend; an enemy".
from in- "not" + amicus "friend"

the flow of snow,

O Nemesis,
a minimal existence
and quantum pain, this is
how you had insulted me.

My vessel was
empty. So much was to
be done and you are still
digging the mass grave.

Who intends to go
blind in the dim moonlight?
Poem was always at the door.

Was there another exit
of purgatory? Can
you find an amicus?

love versus hate.
On whoever you will bet?
Why there was war against the war
when nobody wins?

Why one dies on the tacks?
