Jerusalem Delivered – Book 01 – part 03 by Torquato Tasso
XXVI “Turks, Persians conquered, Antiochia won, Be glorious acts, and full of glorious praise, By Heaven’s mere grace, not by our prowess done: Those conquests were achieved by wondrous ways, If now from that directed course we run The God of Battles thus before us lays, His loving kindness shall we lose, I doubt, And […]

Io v’amo sol perche (I Love You Simply Because) by Torquato Tasso
Io v’amo sol perchè voi siete bella, e perchè vuol mia stella, non ch’io speri da voi, dolce mio bene, altro che pene. E se talor gli occhi miei mostrate aver qualche pietate, io non spero da voi del pianger tanto altro che pianto. Nè, perchè udite i miei sospiri ardenti che per voi sprago […]

Ecco Mormorar L’onde (Now The Waves Murmur) by Torquato Tasso
Ecco mormorar l’onde, E tremolar le fronde A l’aura mattutina, e gli arboscelli, E sovra i verdi rami i vaghi augelli Cantar soavemente, E rider l’Oriente; Ecco già l’alba appare, E si specchia nel mare, E rasserena il cielo, E le campagne imperla il dolce gelo, E gli alti monti indora: O bella e vaga […]

The Last Breath of a Ship by Tri Tran
Salty nights blazed in my homeland, Vietnam, a crimson galaxy, melting. Blood and tears flooded within my tiny universe, While bombs exploded within my wailing soul. Tiny corpuscles, like aimless sailboats, On their way to find peace and freedom, Veins and arteries,like homeless cobras, Weaving from my head to my feet, seeking joy. Crimson stars, […]

time by tulip
Time is so unpredictable, Every second, can show you, Something you except at all, Life has many unseen sceans, Which we never thought, That it would come someday, But all we get is, Unexpected always, We imagined a lot, Planned a lot for everyday, But what comes on our hand, Is just running time so […]
The Sound Of Music -a Ghazal by Umamaheswari Anandane
Lingering soul, I am between the classics Drowning inside each and every Sound of Music Raindrops, pitter -pattering its footprints Clusters of sound creating a “c-h-o-w” Music Some days these beats of rain control my tears Soaking in my sorrow in hers, accompanying Music Showers of drizzles precipitate, on a sunny day A dancing Rainbow […]
the secrets , we hide by tulip
Lot’s of secrets we kept inside our heart, Divulge the things hidden in our heart, So before it ruins the life you’ve made, Reveal those dark secrets, And the memories which’ll fade, The hidden stories still left untold, But once you tell them to somebody, That makes you feel good, And the questions of our […]

The Rose That Grew From Concrete by Tupac Shakur
Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature’s law is wrong it learned to walk with out having feet. Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air. Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared. […]

Life is so long to say, Sorry and thank you, Everyday we’ve something To talk about, Everyday we’ve someone to say sorry and thanks, But still their’s lots more left unsaid, From any corner of our heart, Which always used to tease us, Say it, say it now, But our ego came in front, Front […]

Paradise On Earth! by V. Muthu Manickam
The Sun shines as gold, down the west Full moon is on the move, to rise in the east When one gets to set, The other begins to get Birds are settling, into the nest Courteous caress of the breeze, is the best! Sky is colorfully painted Many themes, this has hinted! Stars are peeping […]
Overnight at the Riverside Tower by Tu Fu
Evening colors linger on mountain paths. Out beyond this study perched over River Gate, At the cliff’s edge, frail clouds stay All night. Among waves, a lone, shuddering Moon. As cranes trail off in flight, silent, Wolves snarl over their kill. I brood on Our wars, sleepless here and, to right A relentless Heaven and […]
once i saw a old man’s shop by tulip
When I’m crossing my street, there’s an old man’s shop on the other side, Its so cold and snowy outside there, But he used to make statues everyday, And those statues attracts me always, I felt so amazed, When I’m starring those one, Without blinking my eyes for a while, And a thought comes on […]
On a Prospect of T’ai-shan by Tu Fu
How is one to describe this king of mountains? Throught the whole of Ch’i and Lu one never loses sight of its greenness. In it the Creator has concentrated all that is numinous and beautiful. Its northern and southern slopes divide the dawn from the dark. The layered clouds begin at the climber’s heaving chest, […]
Morning Rain by Tu Fu
A slight rain comes, bathed in dawn light. I hear it among treetop leaves before mist Arrives. Soon it sprinkles the soil and, Windblown, follows clouds away. Deepened Colors grace thatch homes for a moment. Flocks and herds of things wild glisten Faintly. Then the scent of musk opens across Half a mountain — and […]
Moonlit Night by Tu Fu
Tonight at Fu-chou, this moon she watches Alone in our room. And my little, far-off Children, too young to understand what keeps me Away, or even remember Chang’an. By now, Her hair will be mist-scented, her jade-white Arms chilled in its clear light. When Will it find us together again, drapes drawn Open, light traced […]

Gazing at the Sacred Peak by Tu Fu
For all this, what is the mountain god like? An unending green of lands north and south: From ethereal beauty Creation distills There, yin and yang split dusk and dawn. Swelling clouds sweep by. Returning birds Ruin my eyes vanishing. One day soon, At the summit, the other mountains will be Small enough to hold, […]
Full Moon by Tu Fu
Above the tower — a lone, twice-sized moon. On the cold river passing night-filled homes, It scatters restless gold across the waves. On mats, it shines richer than silken gauze. Empty peaks, silence: among sparse stars, Not yet flawed, it drifts. Pine and cinnamon Spreading in my old garden . . . All light, All […]
Fallen Star: Dedicated to Huey P. Newton by Tupac Shakur

everything is a lie by tulip
Sometimes a single moment is enough, Enough to realize the truth, The truth about our life, Our life which we all spent in a lie, A lie, that comes like a reality , A reality, that’s good enough to Makes us blind folded, We smile, we laugh, Whole life we spent, Like we never are, […]
Dreaming of Li Po by Tu Fu
After the separation of death one can eventually swallow back one’s grief, but the separation of the living is an endless, unappeasable anxiety. From pestilent Chiang-nan no news arrives of the poor exile. That my old friend should come into my dream shows how constantly he is in my thoughts. I fear that this is […]
Day’s End by Tu Fu
Oxen and sheep were brought back down Long ago, and bramble gates closed. Over Mountains and rivers, far from my old garden, A windswept moon rises into clear night. Springs trickle down dark cliffs, and autumn Dew fills ridgeline grasses. My hair seems Whiter in lamplight. The flame flickers Good fortune over and over — […]

By the Lake by Tu Fu
The old fellow from Shao-ling weeps with stifled sobs as he walks furtively by the bends of the Sepentine on a day in spring. In the waterside palaces the thousands of doors are locked. For whom have the willows and rushed put on their fresh greenery? I remember how formerly, when the Emperor’s rainbow banner […]
Ballad of the Old Cypress by Tu Fu
In front of the temple of Chu-ko Liang there is an old cypress. Its branches are like green bronze; its roots like rocks; around its great girth of forty spans its rimy bark withstands the washing of the rain. Its jet-colored top rises two thousand feet to greet the sky. Prince and statesman have long […]
Ballad of the Army Carts by Tu Fu
The carts squeak and trundle, the horses whinny, the conscripts go by, each with a bow and arrows at his waist. Their fathers, mothers, wives, and children run along beside them to see them off. The Hsien-yang Bridge cannot be seen for dust. They pluck at the men’s clothes, stamp their feet, or stand in […]
Ballad Of The Press-Gang At Shihao Village by Du Fu
One evening I found lodging in a village where A press-gang stole by night to seize my aging host, Who, hearing them, scaled the wall and hid nearby. Furious, the bailiff bellowed at the gate Until the woman of the house unbarred the door, Stepped out, and offered up this pitiful reply: “Three boys I […]
