Trump
The cascades of Heavens
have sounded the trump
of the Pindaric ode
The wheel of the earth
has shattered
by the repute
of Your omnipotence …
Lightning-rod
I dare to sow the tears of my endurance.
The will grow high like castles .
They will become my lightning – rod ….

Dedication
The solid existence
of the vagabond dream
struggle for the adjuration of estrum.
Hungry is the egotism voluptuousness .
Uncured remains
the domination wound.
Ruler is the chain of dedication
for the never setting sun.
Stealthily I sense my self
taking part
to the maintaining of the plan ….
