Ala-ijere

Ala- Ijere!

The great land of great warriors!

Ala-ijere!

Land of great colonists soldier ants!

Ala-ijere!

Indeed, thou art established to be great!

Amongst lands! thou art a lord!

Amongst peoples, thou art a prince!

Amongst kingdoms, thou art an overlord!

In wisdom, thou art wisest!

In knowledge, thou art knowledged!

And in understanding, thou art very compassionate!

Great Ndi-ijere!

Great Eze-ijere!

Last night

Last night your skin
was warm and soft
and I could feel your breath
against my cheek.

The winter wind
was rattling the roof
and sand was blown against the window
like a burst of rain.

Somewhere a neighbours’ dog howled
at the moon and I could hear,
the big old avo tree
whipping on the roof.

Every now and then
a avo fell with a bang
against the roof,
but you slept on.

The big bed was hot
and fire flamed in my blood
and as you twisted and turned
to sleep on,
your scent filled my head.

Kdo Se Je Zbral

Kaj ti bojo c'rna oc'ala sredi noc'i
da z njimi skrijes' svoje grde oc'i
kaj ti bojo vsi djamanti na belih prstih
bo jo s'e vedno svetli, ko bos' gnila v krsti
kaj ti bojo c'rne najlonke na mastnih bedrih
rajs'i gledam najlonaste c'rnke kaj ti bojo c'rna oc'ala?
S'e eno pivo, metek v c'elo,
kdo se je zbral samo da imas' v srcu plamen v glavi kamen
Kaj ti bojo rdec'a s'minka in celi zobje
mesena usta, ki jih nikoli ne zapres'
kaj ti bojo gomila dnarja in tisoc' stvari
ki jih drz'is' v glavi da se moz'gani nebi skisali
kaj ti bojo c'rna oc'ala

La Chronique Ascendante des Ducs de Normandie

Mil chent et soisante anz out de temps et d'espace
puiz que Dex en la Virge descendi par sa grace,
quant un clerc de Caen, qui out non Mestre Vace,
s'entremist de l'estoire de Rou et de s'estrasce,
qui conquist Normendie, qui qu'en poist ne qui place,
contre l'orgueil de France, qui encor les menasce,
que nostre roi Henri la congnoissë et sace.
Qui gaires n'a de rentes ne gaires n'en porcache ;
mez avarice a frait a largesce sa grace,
ne peut lez mainz ouvrir, plus sont gelez que glace, .
ne sai ou est reposte, ne truiz train ne trace;
qui ne soit losengier ne encort liu ne place,
a plusors i fait on la cue lovinace.
Ce ne fu mie el temps Virgile ne Orace
ne el temps Alixandre ne Cesar ne Estace,
lores avoit largesce vertu et efficace.
Du roi Henri voil faire ceste premiere page,
qui prist Alianor, dame de haut parage,
Dex doinst a ambedeuls de bien faire courage!
Ne me font mie rendre a la court le musage,
de dons et de pramesses chascun d' euls m' asouage ;
mez besoing vient souvent qui tost sigle et tost nage,
et souvent me fait meitre le denier et le gage.
France est Alienor et debonnaire et sage ;
roÿne fu de France en son premier aage,
Looÿs l' espousa qui out grant mariage;
en Jerusalem furent en lonc pelerinage,
assez y traist chescun travail et ahanage,
Quant reparriez s' en furent, par conseil du barnage
s' em parti la roÿne o riche parentage;
de cele departie n'out elle nul damage ;
a Poitiers s'en ala, son naturel manage,
n'i out plus prochain heir qu'el fu de son lignage.
Li roiz Henri la prist o riche mariage,
cil qui tint Engleterre et la terre marage
entre Espaingne et Escosce, de rivage en rivage ;
grant parole est de lui et de son vasselage,
des felons qu'il destraint comme oysel clos en cage ;
n' a baron en sa terre o si grant herbergage
qui ost le pais enfraindre em plein ne en boscage,
se il peut estre ataint, n'et des membres hontage,
ou qu'il n'i lest le cors ou l' ame en ostage.

La geste voil de Rou et dez Normanz conter,
lors faiz et lor proësce doi je bien recorder.
Les boisdies de France ne font mie a celer,
tout tens voudrent Franchoiz Normanz desheriter
et tout tens se penerent d' euls vaincre et d'els grever,
et quant Franceiz nes porent par force sormonter
par plusors tricheries lez soulent agraver ;

Kamay Na Guryon

Ang iyong kamay na tila guryon
humahampas sa alon ng hangin,
sumasayaw nang walang pag-ayon
Sa pakiwari ko ay mahahawakan
mo ang araw ng hindi nasusunog

Ngunit isang ilusyon ang hinahati
ng hugis ng kamay mong maputla,
sa pagitan ng gintong hininga ng araw
at itim na anino ng pagindayog nito

At ang manipis na hibla ng guryon
ang tanging nagdudugtong sa ilusyon
at sa katotohanan na pinunlaan
ng apuhap na hangin ng pag-asa
at mahinay na paghatak ng ala-ala

Sa Aking Sentimiento

Sa bintana ay nakadungaw
Isipa'y sa malayo nakatanaw
Simoy ng hangi'y ninanamnam
Mga mata ay malamlam
Sa labi ay inaasam
Na dating pagsinta mo ay muling makamtam

Sa awit ng mga ibon aking naaalala
Boses mong malamig at kahangahanga
Na noon ay naging aking himig na maaya
Sa pagsulat ng mga tula at nobela
Mga haplos mo ay naging oyayi sa paghimbing
Maiinit na lambing at bati sa aking paggising

Katawan mong mala-Adonis
Sa pangarap sana'y masilip
Higpit ng mga yakap mo't halik
Giliw labis akong nasasabik
Muli't-muli ang aking nais
Makapiling, maangkin ka't makaniig

Kung di dumating marahas na bagyo
Sa iyo sana'y di lubusang napalayo
Katulad ko ngayon ay bulaklak na kay bango
Ikaw ang paru-paro na nauuhaw sa pagdapo
Ibinubulong na lang sa hangin ang kahilingan ko
Umaasang dadalhin sa kinaroroonan mo

Hanggang sa sumapit ang takip silim
Laman kang lagi ng mga salamisim
Kung araw man ay tuluyang lamunin ng dilim
Ala-ala mong nasa puso ko't isipan ay nakasukbit pa rin
Sa pagtulog ng taimtim ang samo ko't dalangin
Makasama kang muli, ang bukang liwayway ating haharapin.

Feelings of a Yankee on the Fall of Chirak

Inspired by Shelley

I was indifferent to
you, spineless Vichy
statist, appeaser of thugs, their

pinch-faced outrage-ala-mode raining Molotovs on cops clad black as scorched earth, Peugeots, Citroens, Opals, burning in high-
toned pan of Ingres’s Odalisque, from the shadows to

the lighted courtyard, Pei’s pyramid & the Renaissance sacrificed from
history for foreign
endowments financing foot-washers for the

trees along the Champs-Elysees in sight of
Fitzgerald and Papa Hemingway,
ghosts brooding in ex-pats’ haunts, Teddy’s “mollycoddle”

charge echoing thru the
yellow night, &
@ home and the non-trad college, not a word…

Marshall green and Greenpeace
green consumed by
Petrol green & Echoes of

Shelley’s faith of ’89 befouled by
Bonaparte & UN schemes, sans
Lafayette to stand and fight the flames, & Flanders Field drowned in

’68 hate- Red dagger ignorance cloaked in
Fairness- damning Liberty,
Fraternity just another political come-

on, Equality but
Socialist envy
the foulest Green of time,

pinch-faced outrage-ala-mode rains Molotovs, &
@ home & the non-trad college, not a word.

Carrion Comfort

Not, I'll not, carrion comfort, Despair, not feast on thee;
Not untwist -- slack they may be -- these last strands of man
In me {'o}r, most weary, cry I can no more. I can;
Can something, hope, wish day come, not choose not to be.
But ah, but O thou terrible, why wouldst thou rude on me
Thy wring-world right foot rock? lay a lionlimb against me? scan
With darksome devouring eyes my bruis{`e}d bones? and fan,
O in turns of tempest, me heaped there; me frantic to avo{'i}d thee and
flee?

Why? That my chaff might fly; my grain lie, sheer and clear.
Nay in all that toil, that coil, since (seems) I kissed the rod,
Hand rather, my heart lo! lapped strength, stole joy, would laugh,
cheer.
Cheer wh{'o}m though? The h{'e}ro whose h{'e}aven-handling fl{'u}ng
me, f{'o}ot tr{'o}d
Me? or m{'e} that f{'o}ught him? O wh{'i}ch one? is it e{'a}ch one? That
n{'i}ght, that y{'e}ar
Of now done darkness I wretch lay wrestling with (my God!) my God.

Wait In Vain

you're a lover of convenience
who took away my heart ala pirate
hope you return for better experince
cos i'm hurt but can't feel irate
please help me not to wait in vain
i'm sitting here wishing for that day
when you appear from the woods or sea
i wonder what to you i would ever say
if i'll ever see that day i foresee
i hope i won't have to wait in vain
i think i'm about to let go
of all the thoughts of you i kept
from days in scool to long ago
days we laughed and days we wept
it's so sad i had to wait in vain

M.Phil ***(Urdu)

Kitna mushkil he nigahon ka muta'ala kerna
wo nigahain
kisi naqqad k thesis ki tarha
apne mazmoon o matan me zara mushkil hi sahi
kaash un gehri nigahon k muta'alay k lye
un pe likhi kisi sha'ir ki kitaaben mil jaen
kuchh hawalay mil jaen
un ko parh lun
to nigahon ka samajhna bhi sehel ho jae
aur masla kisi hd tk mera hul ho jae
kaash pur soch nigahon k muta'alay k lye
ese ghambeer se topic pe maqalay k lye
library mujhe mashhoor koi mil jae
rehnumai kisi ustaad ki haasil ho jae
iss tarha
parhtay hue tay me manazil kr lun
un nigahon k muta'alay me me M.Phil kr lun

Enjoy and Get it On

Oh I'm makin' my way back home
Least that's what I told her on the phone
Been a while since I made her smile
And I know she gonna dig my style
Could you enjoy baby
Really enjoy gettin' it on

Could I get some pie ala mode
When I come in off the road
Do she still have her fightin' gear
Just one look is gonna make it clear
If she would enjoy baby
Really enjoyed gettin' it on

How does it feel holdin' me again
She's holdin' on like it gonna never end
Well I'm home thinkin' I should stay
While I'm here just let me hear you say
Say you enjoyed baby
Really enjoyed gettin' it on

Still Life In Oils-De Jour

You painted a most exquisite picture
...Brush stroked her canvas delicately
With feathered brush-a touch
...Tinting with royal hues-
And crimson red coloured views...
'Tis a still life of a woman in degrees...
...A breath-taking piece of divinity...
A true masterpiece of elegance...
...Your virgin work of art...
Captured by your most artistic keen eye
...Creme De la Creme Ala Carte...

Every Night

Ive got rocket for your parade
Heavy breathing for you made in the shade
Ive got an itch that just wont quit
I see in that dress that just dont fit
I see you walking with that twobit boy
I see you laughing but Im no toy
Chorus
I know what you do every night every night
I know what you do when you turn out the light
I see what you do every night every night
And I want you to do it to me
You learned that jive on mtv
That mumbo jumbo just dont work on me
Slam bang baby ala kazam
Dont disrespect me Im a stand-up man
I see you laughing when you slam the door
I see you with him I cant take any more
Chorus
I know what you do every night every night
I know what you do when you turn out the light
I see what you do every night every night
And I want you to do it to me
Come to your senses baby
Dont hold out
Someday youll want me dont act so proud
Weve got a mutual circumstance
Come on, hold on, give me a chance

Pan American

I have heard your stories about your fast trains
But now Ill tell you about one all the southern folks have seen|g
Shes the beauty of the southlands listen to that whistle scream
Its that pan american on her way to new or-leans.
She leaves cincinnati headin down that dixie line
When she passes that nashville tower you can hear that
Whistle whine
Stick your head right out the window and feel that southern breeze
Your on that pan american on her way to new or-leans.
If your ever in the south lands and want to see the scenes
Just get your self a ticket on that pan american queen
Theres louivill nashville montgomery the captal of ala-bam
You pass right through then all when your new orleans bound.
She leaves cincinnati headin down that dixie line
When she passes that nashville tower you can hear that
Whistle whine
Stick your head right out the window and feel that southern breeze
Your on that pan american on her way to new or-leans.

The Old Log Train

Hank williams sr.
(d) if you will listen a (g) song I will (d) sing
About my daddy who ran a log (a) train
Way (d) down in the southland in (g) old ala- (d) bam
We lived in a place that they (a) call chatmantown.
And late in the evening when the sun was low
Way off in the distance you could hear the train blow
The boys would come runnin and mamma would sing,
Get the supper on the table here comes the log train.
Every morning at the break of day
Hed grab his lunch bucket and be on his way
In winter or summer, sunshine or rain
Every mornin hed run that old log train.
A sweatin and swearin all day long
Shoutin git-up there oxen, keep movin along,
Load er up boys cause it looks like rain,
Ive got get rollin this old log train.
This story happened a long time ago
The log train is silent, God called daddy to go
But when I get to heaven to always remain
Ill listen for the whistle of the old log train.
