Gone amiss is the tight white moon
whose withheld breath owned a night
of penitent voices cast to its homely face.
Its passage assures a slumbering world
the fading calm bares weight enough that a
sole butterfly carry effortlessly to silence.
Awake by the faithful whose life restorations
into joys embrace with psalms and hymns
welcome dawn's golden chariots cheery
cherubs championed charioteers, arise,
this is the day that the Lord has made.
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord and
to your fellow workers for by its plain
pleasure and delight of all exchange
gratitudes denies the devil's stay.
Perpetuate God's glory and share His
story--err history, and proclaim to all
of His only begotten Son, His Holy of
Holy's, His Grace, Jesus Christ, Amen

Twilight Descension
Bats fickle genteel soles of twilight, as swart crown abandons an errant moon,
A moon burrowing framing a forest, while Cupid charioteers spark an archway,
Neath a sinking moon, buds blossom, awaken by galloping Cherubs all strewn,
Frogs echoes in a lagoon as twilight wanes, same as words said of Hemingway,
Porpoises leap frantically in the ocean, while night drifts in dawns golden sleigh.

Form: Quintain (English)
A windswept meadow neath an ambling Apollo lone journey,
Witnessed the efforts of a crowd studded web of twinkling wished upon stars,
Lose its envious magic that they had cast upon the eyes of star-crossed lovers,
To an army of Cupid's charioteers who pulled its blanched Master Moon,
Whilst guided by the genteel gallops of endless Cherubs whom together,
Unleashed a hailstorm of the heart seeking arrow tips that were dipped,
In honeyed filled molasses of numbingly sweet treasured quietude of,
Desirous lust that burst upon contact and releases its alchemy concoction,
Affecting even the strongest of resistors into fathomless mirth of ecstasy,
Swimming in divination depths whose relentless currents unite the noumenon,
Beyond their measure for its extension enwraps the partnered heart to be as,
The eternal one, inseparable, until twilight, trips into the arms of dawn,
For be it a day, until the fall of dusk the story perpetuates a new page it is,
Now it is a better understanding one realized just beyond a mere mesmerize,
Though blank as before as a pen and a windswept meadow wait for lovers tryst.

Chariots fly
With horse like speed
To lead the field
In war so dark
The Hittite ruled
Kadesh attacked
known battle track
Five thousand fought.
Hittite renowned charioteers
Hittites conquered Kadesh
Five thousand chariots took part was the largest chariot battle ever
