They manage to keep a fanned flame
These ones with no claim to fame
They don’t trade, build or make
Yet heralds ogle for their sake
And I to myself only wonder
That I find no rhyme or reason in my ponder
But I keep my opinion conservative
For my appetite craves no weird narrative
That one can be famed for nothing
It just doesn’t fit my hearing
Once there was respect for the audience
Until stardom clouded many a conscience
With sound worth one had to be endowed
Before presenting oneself before a crowd
And a few had glimpses of glories
With quotes and works transcending histories
Others galant warriors and wise chieftains
Glorified outlaws and vilified villains
Men had their names on their rights and wrongs
As preserved in folklore, poetry and songs
And until ideology once more underpins
Character, manners and disciplines
Ethics, decency and social order
Evil will have many for fodder
To be grazed on and trampled underfoot
Thinning fortune that another may have loot
And if you cringe at this possible end
Then with every fibre of you strive and fend
For the return of righteousness in our midst
As the bare and common at the very least

Damsel In Distress
Galant Knight in shining armor,
riding high against the wind,
Fighting the dragon for the damsel,
Royal Prince of the King, for Lady Earth’s soul to win.
Thorns and thickets in deepest forests,
Cries heard by wolves to ravish men,
Save the damsel in her distresses,
How shall her timeless story end.
Behind gates of solid pearl and gold,
Only one found worthy to defend,
Fighting the dragon day and evening,
Not to let the dragon win.
He is her knight in shining armor,
Relentless to fight from start to end,
Willing to die in crucifixion,
Raised up to conquer death and sin.
Young maiden promised bride to give Him,
Forever to the very end,
Her heart and soul, rewards the bravest,
The King’s most noble among men.
Fearless One with sword and shield,
The fight of a lifetime for a friend,
To save her from the fierce monster,
Captured her heart, for her soul to win.

Lord, see how is contended the high places
And rightly so for it attracts the shrewd galant aces
But pretty much a duel between good and evil
Each rising to the challenge of the rival
Not to bolster statesmanship or healthy sportsmanship
But the onslaughts and assaults of values and worship
And the day is ruled by the side in occupance
Tipping the land's blessings by their stance
But the nations of the world are now of our Lord
And things will veer from the imposing man's accord
And a very subtle hand of the Divine
That begins by signaling a sign
Before it slowly closes in in a creep
And clenches into a locking grip
One that halts, propels and baffles history
All to a Holy God in His Glory

Holding each other close, with piercing eyes and hearts that Brings an ardent longing for more
As the coherent sounds echo and course through the entwined heated bodies , such a striking vision to witness in a glory to be cherished
Step by step they move like clouds floating in the air , only true love to carry them along the way , such beauty, and ever so picturesque
Dressed to the nines matters not , for time stands still and every exasperated breath accounted for makes the moment the only moment to touch each others soul
Now the crescendo of this galant night beckons for the tenderness and full volume of an everlasting lasting kiss so proper , so gentle , and so wanted , it happens like whisper in the wind thus ends this magical endeavour

He rides laughter like he owns it
exclamation marks

Mon chevalier galant
who uses music for shield
pen for glaive
Who writes warmth
through cold white days
and sometimes silence
He'll walk out of his books
mon d'Artagnan
to conquer me...
... he thinks. But has forgotten
que je me suis rendu
il y a longtemps

Savor sacrifices made this day.To all who look on may some shine like the dawn.Sparkle and glimmer with light divine for others that may see it in time.Galant and valiant we will abode.A debt was paid that was never owed.A known title we see so little that dream that is so brittle.

The caw of the raven invades my sleep,
The hiss of the serpent chills my spine,
The howl of the wolf can be felt so deep,
Galant is the eagle, O so divine.
To traverse through their kingdom is my ploy,
Share tales with the badger, sacred be,
When blackbirds are singing to me their joy,
Locked in human form but turning the key.
Language of the birds is an ancient art,
The path of the spirits and so much more,
Come walk with us and join our beating heart,
Be the ocean as it pounds hard thy shore.
Release yourself to the pleasures of all,
Find yourself and answer thy inner call.

Ripples and rainbows
silent delight
walk through the rivers
increasing whats right
ripples and rainbows
play with the flames
walk through the rivers
and spell out my name
colourful ribbons
sparkling and new
glitter and sparkle
with heavenly due
colourful soldiers
working so hard
creating new dreams
in natures back yard
greens golds and purples
colour our dreams
creating new pictures
in natures great scheeme
lilic's and daffidills
roses of gold
the colours of nature
galant and bold

My eyes inact an eloquent event, a room lite by crystal chandeliers
i hear your soft voice speakin, so i listen with open ears
This room filled with masks, but i feel your presence
you call when you're hurt, i answer with true essence
It's a social gather, with people standing so galant
you stand out the most, filling the room with beauty talent
a grand piano relaxes us all, it plays with great prestige
you sit beside it, which sets my heart at ease
the light slowly dims, i long for us to engage
i cant pretend to be your friend, im your lover in this masquerade.
