Best Hussars Poems

Inhaling, hushed, from hashed cigars
    my mind implodes in Malimar
        where Naiads bathe in caviar -
            I dream of dwarves and three-eyed tsars.

Hour ago raised the morning sun
The eastern army outnumbers the hussars fifteen to one
The battle has began
Hussar horses with thousand thundering hooves begun their run

Eastern army cannons and muskets will discharge
As the hussars push forward in awe inspiring charge
Before the muskets and cannons can recharge
The...

I am a British soldier, been a soldier all my life
and back home in England, I left 2 kids and a wife
now I’m outside Sebastapol, with Cardigans Brigade
waiting to fight the Russians, Cavalry on Parade

We are part of Raglans...

From Valhalla’s fortress of spears and shields,	
Valkyrie riders make their daily runs…
Crossing Bifrost to Midgard’s battlefields,		
Harvesting warriors till Ragnorak comes.

Flying from Valhalla on their war horses,	
Thundering hooves beat like old battle drums,
Odin’s blond daughters watching the forces--	
Harvesting warriors till Ragnorak comes.

Legionnaires, Pikemen, Hussars and Spartans;...

Sometimes faith lives on the edge of a knife
as Sviastoslav the Rus sacker came to know 
the Khazar Khanate knew how to cut a slight
his gilded skull stole the show,
the Vatican went from a marsh to a monopoly
and the Cathay Tang kept up migration flow,
the...

The Lady-in-Waiting's Tale 

There's nothing matters, girl, beyond The Ring! 
Are you betrothed yet? Me, I'm six months in. 
Hussars are handsome. Want to know the truth? 
A tale of passion, sex, idealistic youth 
and parents crippled by stiff protocol. 
The girl? I hardly dealt...

Pyramid is shaped like triangle and maybe that is why
It reflects the visage of the sky
In it pharaoh’s body will lie
So his soul to the heavens can fly

But maybe pyramid is not just a tomb
Maybe it is also a womb
 For those for whom
Secrets of...

In the east samurai opens the cave of elements of which there are four
In the South American wilderness emeralds beautify temple floor 
Above this temple stone winds soar
Lost pyramid in Africa welcomes a monk that arrives on African shore

The spirit moves like wind blowing near
Its...

It is a warm lovely lazy summer day
Suddenly cool breeze offers relive from the heat
Soul grows as one looks at magical sunset
Following a flock of geese with his eyes

Wind blows through poplars and oaks
They roar and creak singing old ballads
The ones about ancient kings
About Vikings,...

He that trod upon subservient Europe
with the imperial guards' fighting prowess,
did himself and his heartthrob the empress,
entrench thrones jointly owned by their hookup.
He that caused guns to rage on Europe's plains,
and cannons to thunder on Egypt's sands,
sent hussars and mamluks to distant flight.
He usurped crowns...

Hailstones ricochet off a steel cellar door
As storm clouds charge like winged hussars
Across the raging sky.
I’m sheltering somewhere far from Kansas,
Memorizing my witness protection profile
And getting acquainted with the honesty of solitude.
I’m contemplating the mystery of consciousness
While ruminating the passage of time.
I explore the big...

The Hussars, with wings on their backs,
Charged forth, with some truly wild tracks.
They'd yell with a shout,
"We'll scare the foes out!"
Then trip on their feathers, in stacks.
