White Knight gallantly galloped
swiftly 'pon his black steed
to discernibly save the day,
pretty perky princess 'twas awe stricken
with the well endowed stallion,
they trotted abruptly into the future - -
presumptively, the knight retired to the dark side
constructs of the abstract
intangible pillars supporting
heavy weight facts
fat psychedelics
slipping
tripping
dripping
through the cracks
odd formless blobs emerging
from the dark vast primordial black
two speeding bullet trains crossing tracks
ending in catastrophic spilled brains contact
special edible weird astral voodoo extract
out of body experience
but now you're back
new air of awareness
winds rushing and relentless
blasting bold and bodacious
strong winding vexations
smothering the human senses
awe stricken dry mouth
have some taking it all in
slapping refreshments
sugar coat this with a pastry reference
who exactly sent this text message

To local newspaper will not subscribe again
Now no longer put any of my new poems in
Which people in past loved reading greatly
But in paper are not there as of lately.
To me. people are singing the same old song;
This time what again have you done wrong
Are they afraid you will upset the apple cart?
Don't they have sense of humor or any heart?
Just as I expected and do fervently fear
They never will give my poems a good cheer
It is a case of something which will sicken
On themselves, they all are awe-stricken.

So what do you think?
You caught me with your mesmerics
And gave me shots of hypnosis
Loving me senseless
Presenting yourself so faultless
Causing me to be guardless
Guardless and out to love with utter carelessness
Ignoring the foolishness
The foolishness in my stark openness
I was blinded by your comeliness
Bounded by your loveliness
I was far from realities
I helplessly dwelled in fantasies
You ignited the love candle so marvelous
I was awe-stricken by its flame so matchless
Became drawn to your angellic presence
'Cos the candle flame was heatless
I didn't mind your excesses
Didn't know it spelled heartbreak express
'Cos no bounds know your promiscuity-triggered benevolence.
We treaded beneath the harvest moon
cursing the viper beneath the hideous act
that had left a man gibbering "Ave Maria",
too frightened to predecease his age mates
he lay lifeless on his death bed
a cosy platform made of fine bamboo
and his eyes spinned as if in a hex
drum beats acclaimed our arrival
at the abode of Sango the wizard of wizards
of course we had with us a black heifer,
snout enough to entice the gods
we entered the rounded hut willy-nilly
and quietly we fell on a Columbus skin
the accustomed comfort for the doctor's guests
the famed hermit displayed his aptitude
arrayed in mysterious amulets he looked creepy
and sure indeed our ticks palpitated
dancing in circles marked the preliminaries
before moving on to palpate,
his already awe-stricken patient
slowly the patient was made to gulp
a mysterious potion from Sango's secret recipe
which we all thought tasted like tonic water
that was one of our visit to a warlock
and sure enough it proved fruitful
for the patient -that- was lives to tell
of how magic had beat science
