Long Bivouac Poems

A band donned... Around ring finger of left hand

Yes folks (meaning,
whomever espies these lines) alas and alack
I attest thy spouse located future heirloom -
while tentatively asleep in her bivouac
though far less likely,

(yet near more rewarding)
than...

Guv, tell me, not without the reason
our Moscow in the fired treason
was burnt and left for French.
Oh, there were fights I see their splendours 
so awesome and we have the embers,
No wonder Russia still remembers
Borodino’s...

In this animate creation of god,
With man and animals as its cord,
Plants and trees as its beautiful sword,
All joined together to form a bond,
“The Bond of Love”

The bond of love is so great
That it keeps...

We set up our bivouac of life
by the world's battlefield,
It befits us then 
that we live not in peace
nor die free from strife.

There’s got to be more to life 
than work, marriage and kids,
Life can’t...

It was a land of foreign thought
And I was the denizen drifter
In uniform that hid my ignorance

In an OD Green costume that was
Barely me

Ode to a canvas print

Background: a sullen sky, pale 
light at horizon. Green-water sea 
of snowcapped swells, hint of 
nightfall in the breaking waves.

Long arm gendarme
My mistake namaste
Backpack bivouac
On the Road with Kerouac

Brilliant stars, silent nights
Fireflies, Northern Lights
Mountain streams, fresh air
Fall asleep anywhere

Small town, take a chance
Pig roast, barn dance
Allemande left!  Do-si-do!
Spontaneity here we go!

The pilgrims wash
their inner stains out
with the wet words
in Uttarakhand, the
land of gods.

The unexpected flood
 rises above all her
expected blessings. 
Her father floats away
like an empty bottle. 
Gushing water gulps
her mother’s shriek.

She lies being separated
from...

In the bivouac field of life's main
All things are uncertain
From the wide spread of the elms 
'Til the motion of the films.

A life's solemn swear
Is not to let the tear
Drop in vainless mortality
Nor fall on...

He taught me how to catch a trout,
To take it home and clean it out.
Fillet the bone from head to tail,
With nothing, but knife and pail.

He taught me how to bivouac,
To stake a tent and...
