did overcome his passions.

      Life covered him with mud —

      not any longer —

      he cleansed

      himself from filthiness.

      Life concealed the truth —

      no more —

      he did perceive

      the Noble Eightfold Path25.

      Life urged to undergo

      the pain of mind —

      not today —

      he’s happy with the little.

      It’s not he

      is in the world,

      but inside him

      is the world

      without vain efforts.

      An everyday influence

      A woman’s beauty —

      mysterious is its force —

      being passed on me

      daily has become

      my internal part.

      It didn’t change

      my appearance,

      but embellished

      my thoughts, even

      the secret ones.

      Pauses for respite

      You indulge my pride

      and pretend

      you take me

      as I am.

      Always

      call me

      to follow you

      to the point

      where I need

      to jump over

      my appeased head.

      During the intervals

      of my prostration

      from obstinacy,

      you reinforce

      your temper-character,

      and charge

      the batteries of love.

      Freedom of love

      Freedom of love

      is not

      a free love

      or freedom

      from love,

      but a love

      for freedom.

      Love frees

      freedom lovers —

      no love is

      without freedom.

      The freedom in love

      is the most

      loved of freedoms.

      Those who

      the freedom loves

      are free

      in love.

      Love is freedom.

      Freedom is love.

      Anniversaries: 200 versus 20

      On my way to Singapore26,

      I’ve ventured to see Bangkok27.

      So, I walk among Buddhas,

      chrysanthemums, smiles, and canals.

      With a family and a suite,

      decorated with precious stones,

      the King sails nearby on a galley.

      He observes, it’s a lot or not,

      two hundred years of the House.

      An obsolete Siamese antiquity,

      he breaks into a smile,

      waves goodbye by his hand.

      An exceedingly rare performance,

      but if you’d rather not,

      I have my Queen,

      and the anniversary,

      it’s a lot or not,

      ten times less.

      Sure, I’ll decorate

      my love from head to toe:

      the stones are cheap,

      rubies – if not lazy —

      dig them out of the ground.

      I bought a lot of them

      and decorations, like potatoes,

      the King made me angry.

      Only my diplomatic passport

      helped me transcend the Customs.

      Love comforts in travels

      The hollow hearts

      of Don Juan

      shared out in vain

      with Donnas Annas

      didn’t save a wanderer

      from the eternal solitude.

      One heart,

      brimful with its own

      and reciprocal love,

      will assuage and heat up

      with a home warmth,

      even in travels.

      When you are by me

      In destiny —

      it is a reason and

      luck,

      in love —

      the feast for my

      eyes,

      in poetry —

      more uncreated

      poems,

      in balance —

      so useful intuition,

      patience.

      My life,

      all they

      are you!

      Oriental love

      The Orient is a subtle tool,

      so, love is a coil of rules.

      The moment of a just reproach

      The balance of actions, feelings —

      you set this honest stuff

      in motion, scolding me

      for my next mistake.

      Love and the future

      Love blooms in the present,

      invigorates the sleeping past,

      fears the yoke of the future.

      The reciprocal love

      Devaluing

      the words of vows,

      every tender touch

      and
