Historical Paint in Town

Exploration!
Confound?
In your exit!
Out myself?
"While Lancaster assumes the role"
News and filming
My first conviction times, bold.
Losing renewal values
Abundantcy people on a crime
I'm sure of that much
When I'm in the business transaction, okay and your going?
Off the call.
It ends in you called yourself back, I'm fine.

Freedom from film in French
Just getting to france takes hello's!

Ahoy!

French Prisoners

Kevin and the Irish actress stay put

Get Lara's the news

Lara's in the system, finally.

Premium Member A Historical Fashion Contrast


A lady who entered a fashion contest 
for most authentic historical costume 
was disqualified, the judges pointing out
to her disappointment that she lacked 
Lady Godiva’s most famous accessory –
a horse – and therefore was under dressed.


Hire a Key

The queen has all the power
while foot soldiers goad the king
though he maybe important
the church ahead of hymn

as too crusading bishops
diagonally move to sing
the knights gallant in battle
before a fall within

the castle's rabble- rousers 
encircled squares are ringed
battles meant to topple towers
to where the fight was hinged

the territory taken
with patience wearing thin
when black on white is shaken
who turns the tide to win?

The mother

Sleep tight, my child dear.
Mother is here, nothing to fear.
If the child snatcher, comes at our steps.
I will stab him with my own hands.
                                                                      ~Byeol

The poisonous

Within the scorpion's belly,
mother's blood is the meal.
I wonder,Is that's why scorpion is poisonous? 
But be the lamb of sheep or the child of scorpion,Both are young sprouts.
I wonder, so does the scorpion taste "sweetness that linger on tongue,
A piercing pain in the throat, the soul torn apart". 
                                                                                               ~Byeol


The general

With the thousands troop, I the general stride.
Below the land of ancestors pride.
Where dragon soars and tiger leaps with might.
For this, my sword tainted with river of blood.
Bears felony's weight , a mountain heavy tide.
My heart a rock, no regret, no shame reside.
                                                                                     ~Byeol

------------------------------------------------------------
Land of ancestors: homeland
Dragon soars and tiger leaps: showing powerful prospering nation

The coupe

Biting back at dragon's scale,
I run through the weapons crossing like chaotic clouds flying past.
The mighty sword rise in air, 
Only to drown in sin so deep.
My hands stained with blood so red,
Root betrayed.
Blood of kin,
A price I have paid.
Heaven's cry, in torrent rage.
                                                        ~Byeol


---------------------------------------------------------------------
Biting back at dragon scale: symbolises act of going against the emperor 
Root betrayed: betraying your own family

The remaining soldier

(From1)
Snowflakes whisper peace, in Frozen air,
Echoes of battle, comrade beyond repair.

(Form2)
Alone I stand, in snowy vastness wide,
Blood- soaked memories, my comrade demise.

(Form3)
Before me, snow's pure silence deep,
Behind crimson shadows, comrades sleep.
                                                                                    ~Byeol

The chang'an's street

" I stand on the chang'an's street with tattered clothes and tattered hands".
I follow deep the fireflies, running barefoot among the sea of faces,
"I get out in the pitch of darkness".
Oh! My beloved now I can "only drink the northwest winds".

                                                                                                                ~Byeol

North west wind: is a Chinese idiom for extreme poverty

The silk merchant

Silk merchant 's gaze, a practical sweep,
Fine thread he seeks, where shadows sleep.
A finger points, with eager grace,
"This crimson hue, a rare embrace!"

Young maiden stands,with eyes so deep,
My mother's hand, it secret keep.
The silkworm spun a crimson stain,
Where pain and love, did interwine.

"Her wounded hands, the thread did hold"
A sacrifice, a story to told.
The silk, it glows, with life's own fire,
A mother's love, that "burns no higher".

Merchant's hand is still it's quest,
A sudden weight, upon his breast.
No words he speaks, no price he names,
But feels the sting, of hidden flames.

He sees not silk, but crimson Tide,
Where love and loss, forever ride.
The silent tears, the woven plea,
A mother's heart, eternally.
                                                          ~Byeol

Lady Tua

Lady Tua, frequently look in the pond,
 but who may tell her ladyship?
 That turbulent water shows no reflection.

                                                                                  ~Byeol

Premium Member in their voice historical

A father calls about the grand hall for his daughters.
His premonitions serve him well, as Ana answers in due time.
He tells her to tell her sisters that they are going to
England, to visit their cousins. King George V found them
to be pompous, a decision he'll later regret.

WWI was spreading talks before they returned home.
King George V of Great Britain and Tsar Nicholas II of
Russia himself were on one hand, and Kaiser Wilhelm II
of Germany on the other – were first cousins? Their
grandmother was Queen Victoria.

All suffered great losses, but the Romanoff's suffered the
most. They lost their crowns and were imprisoned for a
long time. Later, they were led to a basement of chairs,
as they closed the door. Bolsheviks burst in, and after a
small speech, Ana held the older sister Olga as they fired
their pistol into the Romanoff's family and their doctor.

Premium Member HISTORICAL BLACK VOICES EVERYWHERE

Legacies throughout history
A lot of mysteries
Test of time
Barriers that blocked
Like or not
Sometimes a mock
Nonetheless historical voices can only confess
Distinguished in understanding
Cutting through anguish
Concepts with promising abilities
Philosopher’s thinking
Accomplishments in sight
Will was the way
Opposition wanted to take away
Achieving characteristics of all
Got up when they took a fall
Start into finished
Black voices style
They stood and represented
Wasn’t trying to be modest
Wanted to make their circumstances obvious
Positive results on their minds
Observing theories]
Approaches
Logic in strategic 
Elements proved right
Even during their plights
Breakthroughs in determination
What if became they succeeded
Shall being established
Beyond expectations

Lies

Oiled and preened
Plucked and tucked
Everything as it should, no
As they see it should be

Plied with cloths of gold
Piled high with gems and stones
Their shroud of protection being more like a weight of confinement.
Taking all your strength to place a single foot in front of the other.
None left to flee
None left to even turn away.

As they force me to take those last few steps
I now know what this was all for
Its not a lavish wedding, filled with drink and high spirits.
Its my wake as I am to be traded for lands and titles.

Why would they lie?
Did they not know I would sacrifice all, if just asked?

Then I see them, the one I am to be traded to.
Hollow eyes.
Stiff back.
Not a sign of a smile.
Yet gilded in gold and encrusted in jewels.

What thing did they sell me to?
Will I be tormented? 
What must I do to be free?

I must be weak, I heard them say.
So weak that I’m looking for escape before it even begins.

But didn’t they know, the torment started the second they lied.

Jury Duty, such a response ability it's not
this, that is hard for me, as much as my encounter
with folks to or from their court parking lot...

 this entire experience is hilarious, both before
or after court; One Spanish lady asks, please sir
where is them alabateors - What did she say - oh sure...

why she meant those 'elevators' - I'm going there myself
on our way a black fellow yells-out "ho-dee- doe fo me"
well, he said 'hold that door' for him, so follow me said, I 

ordeal is over, on my way to my car one thing I hear 
monback - monback- monback ok you, you can go 
I think to myself - 'come-on-back' not till next year...

in my car he was mon-backin' me, now, so leaving 
he said at my window sir, spare any change
my car is on 'E' meaning on empty, five bucks ok...
driving away, in my trusty rearview, joyfully, he is wavein'

note: He did leave me his phone number - Fi Fi Fo Fo Fi fi fo
554-4554 on Pennsylvania Avenue - ay!
