Arch

Are you symbolic gesture that
                summons strange new lands?

                 A magnetic vortex adjoining, 
              spaces between, with frequency
                                      band.

    What gives you the office to officiate journeys, 
                   advertising your prowess 
                like a slippery judge-attorney. 
     Jury at a trade show, bending attentions,- 
     threshold.

  Sprawling out like a rainbow on Earthen gurney 
                                       -then,
                 standing like a giant hero 
                   midstride into miracle.

                                          Doorway?
                                          Mystical?
      What gives you the Authority?
                                   Is it Spiritual?
                                 Metaphysical?

              Like an antenna wed to the Earth,
          morphed into a wedding ring yourself; 
                                      what gives
                you the anointing to do both?
        Christen, glisten and weigh the berth.
                      Only the Lord, only.
Plus, He listens, He knows our hearts, 
and gives YOU all your power of
ceremonial worth.
You are a fraud, masquerading 
as a Golden Eye of God peering through a window. 
Give the credit where it is due and bend the knee.

That Blasted Name - to the tune of The Ants Go Marching

They’re taking down that blasted name – Hurrah, hurrah!
That only J.F.K. should claim – Hurrah! Hurrah!
Let’s hear it for that gutsy judge
To order removal of that smudge.
Maybe things will start to crumble and crack,
Helping life to go back…
Boom boom boom boom, boom boom boom boom

We’d need ten billion ants to march – Hurrah, hurrah!
To scale that planned horrendous arch – Hurrah, hurrah!
The public hates it; so do I
And even Abe Lincoln is heaving a sigh.
Maybe Dems will block it.
We do not need such a sham to proceed…
Boom boom boom boom, boom boom boom boom

And next the ballroom should be stopped – Hurrah, hurrah!
The funding from the Feds has flopped – Hurrah, hurrah!
The private donors, in cahoots,
Will chip in as they lick his boots
And the gilt will glisten, 
Losing us class when the guests will amass…
Boom boom boom boom, boom boom boom boom

The bottom line is we are stuck – Hurrah, hurrah!
With a person in charge who’s run amok – Hurrah, hurrah!
And my fingers are crossed that his would-be crown
Will, along with his name, soon be taken down
And we’ll march and cheer and
Fill every street to applaud his defeat…
Boom boom boom boom, boom boom boom boom

Thin stilts between earth and heaven
bend into a arch of tossed dusk
reflecting amiable strains 
fleeting weeds embrace... 
fingers of parting sky paint jeweled combs
twirled in a bun settling on the
nape of  windblown curtains; a night
arriving bears cupped hands ready
to tuck a blanket of rhinestones, much 
like stars moving from one house 
to another...

and life flashes by as endless travelers 
floating in azure tour the hours in an imperial
journey, rising and falling with the
kneads of rocks and moss: throughout 
the aroma of glazed seasons, flowers
close and open the hesitant hearts of 
men and gargoyles;
that always,  fire of rainstorm changes
to sunlight, black ravens to crickets, spite
to nobility—desiring only
the music of love’s flight for being,

if only to understand the wonder of this world.

Infantry

INFANTRY
 
At alert all day,
Waiting for the Marshal's orders,
To move into position against the foes,
Disintegrating into companies,
To launch their campaign.
 
Day and night on the battlefield,
Bullets raining the sky,
Reinforcements and air supports engaged,
Soldiers left hoping to come back alive,
But many died on the battleground,
And others injured,
Sacrificing their lives at the altar of victory.
 
As a sniper,
I said to a fellow soldier
''God gave me a special gift,
Made of fine instrument of warfare,
If He was to put me and my sniper riffle,
Anywhere up to and including a mile,
A mile to the arch enemy,
With a clear view of sight,
Pack your bags young men,
War is over''.

Life

No qualms how you treat me; I'm just too soft,
And I've got lofty kindness, I'm patient.
But why? You  me so hard and so much off,
And leave me ill as a constant patient.

Like I never deserve any fairness?
Or was my day cursed as from birth?
From  much liquor, you're of extreme highness.
What's it worth then, if living is for death?

No season to believe any reason,
It's all chaotic dilemma and pain.
 you life! For every past mal-season;
What's good to loose all good, would my soul gain?

 you agent of , darn and  you fate!
If I'm tested too sore, then what is faith?

The Ninth Wife


      Greedy vine spirals smother monoliths 
      Spider fern moss, fairy forest vertical
      Soaks in secrets, promise admonished


      Water trawled crevice, creek cervical
      Church canopy arch angel honours 
      Wing finger cool fires praise prancing 
      Laser selects sections, bark polished
      Licked by flitting demure madonnas

      
     Eight afore taped to trees keen tropical 
     Each fresh capes the chapel innocent 
     Suckers strung hearts hung over tendrils 


     Hundred year hardness rots, wet spent
     Mighty trunk rips open room charcoal 
     Doorway discloses disaster clandestine 
     Bluebeard’s bride wives winding sparkle
     Shon hopeful on nymph number nine

Mother River

I would rather hear the sound of water gushing from the rocks
Than to hear his  deceitful voice whispering in my ears
I would rather listen to the  birds singing in the trees 
Than to listen to  his ruthless words echoing around the world
And making mischief in the underworld
The Gods has  redeem me from this dreadful storm
And has given me another chance
I can hear their voices loud and clear and I have nothing to fear
Evil men  who have taken innocent lives
stand naked  and bare in front of the blood stained throne
with  blood spilling all around
I anchored my chair on top of rock in the middle of the riverbed 
and gazed at the trees that form an arch way  above my head
The water flows harmonious around me
While the branches praises the Gods who are protecting me
The water makes music in my ears
And the trees with their prolific energy
wave their branches in the sky and rejoice in the grand jubilee 
The sharks have disappeared 
and I held on to something  strong and divine
I have mastered the art of humility 
And I can feel the presence of God  besides me
The river is stronger than the soul of man
And water is healing and cleansing for the land
It washes the  dreadful dirt and grime away 
So that  I  can find a  quiet place to  stay
I gazed at the road carved out at the bottom of the river 
Looking at the pebbles lying quiet and still
It is leading me to a path where someone  has once lived
Oh mother river you have revived my soul
And has  rescued me from the ghastly black hole.

Monsters Fate

Lately these days before i wake
My arch enemy tries to decide my fate
....
But i wont let him in 

Sleep seeps away
Tired are my veins
But i wont give my soul away
Not now. Not anyday
Here i am
Im going to stay
...
"There are monsters in my head. On my walls. Under my bed."
-Before the dawn

Never going to perish never going to fade
My love i will not break 
They can tempt me but by you i am stricken
Your glow covers me in rays
To hell with the fakes
They can burn in the firey lake

Here i am
The warrior of body mind and soul
And here i stay 
I am no fool
They just got slayed

In Marked Territory

Midnight tightly clasps the darkness,
Like a wounded heart,
In between topaz edges of twilight
 And pastels of first light.

Jealous of its cosmos
Shoos away the master of the day
 Turning the face of the daystar
  To other skies
To claim small hours.

Guardian of vanishing infinities
Speaks 
Indigo borders
 For moonlight
   Moonbows
    And wishes on the first brave star
Where waves of the galaxy
Break 
Over unseen edges of stellar sands.

Lit only by celestial lanterns
Enchanter 
Conjures sovereign spells
Declaring jurisdiction over platinum roses
And
Lover’s sighs 
That wax then wane under polar stars.

Night rules this welkin magic,
A sorcerer hiding a book of spells,
This realm under the starry arch
 The moonrise
  The nebulae decorating the firmament,
Where gravity hems in epiphanies.
