Long Cavaliers Poems

Stars fall under failing skies...stars fall...stars fall...
But stars do not cry.
Into Ochs valley, through the Vale of White Horse...prancing 
besides a Dragons Hill;
It was here that a Roundhead - did a Royalist Cavaliers blood in...

   In the Abaddoned depths of Faith's cosmos, 
a delusion of grandeur 
and of wonder blunders in awe, 
puts its hook securely in blasphemers jaw.
Curiousity opens Hell's salivating maw,...

The wrapes of Grath adorn the path that slammer klingks had tread
when turning spades in everglades to flosticate the dead.
Along the way the snorbels bay at freebled sprutelned

Spirited knights from a long ago age
Were transported to this century
Seeing as they had no foe to engage
They moped around aimlessly

Before their doldrums turned to rage
They sought out a job agency
That would strive to find...

Though earthly life, as we all know, is full of strife,
Like most of men, I am in love with my life.
I know, on earth we are only interim passengers,
And cannot be here for ever as...

Beethoven,
I love you.

But you play your
Moonlight Sonata
On a bleak night and
I am left-
In my coffin
Bones devouring
Flesh-
Eyes drowning in chasms
Left wide open-
Wearing a black dress
With a white collar
Sweeping dust and talking
To myself

All the delicate Ballerinas 
Of...

For weeks 
I have been followed,
they mirror
my every move …


and now 
I’m dreaming them


they drifted in 
and separated me 
from my bed,
whisking me from my sheets
they fly me,
to curl the other place


soaring on dreams
brushing just...

damned patrons' victims proved helpless agonised
ministers agonised inside wombs, starlit shields of beheaded
offenders glassfuls of blood, elegant marks indelible, bricks in moonlit lorn
pits, gods' unstable tolerance         ...

Sonnet, you beckon me with your allure.
Valiant ship from a distant shore
Resting, no more sojourn
Basking in glory of a distant past
Lowered mast once battered and blown
An emblem of pride and place
From boundless rushes, to a...

Yellow, red, blue, orange, magenta, purple, and green

Football here; Sunday drumm'ng 'n forthcom'ng
Woe' the snap, the fans are humm'ng
Bluff to the right, tail off, fade back
Excitement in frenzy air - yak-i-tee-yak!
Uh-uh, side step - whack, smack, sack!

Wit roars 'n  rah-rah sounds

This house was part-founded by the nobles
Who counseled the monarchs of our land
Then strengthened by the Magna Carter
Signed by King Johns’ royal hand

At first its foundations were rocky
As house and monarchs just couldn’t agree
On decisions,...

To live always correctly is very boring
And it seems that time is always worth it.
I whisper your name in the void without a sound,
And you come to save me then.

Compassionate with confident charity’s call
Concerned for clear Christian conversion cause
Committed to Christ’s cross, cleaving to His covenant 
Cooperative along congregation’s counseling clamor
Circumspect to correct compromises’ conveniences
Courageous, contending against carnality-challenge
Cheering the cross-carriers, crowned cavaliers of the...

Imagination's ramblings never pictured such a sight,
Nebulae and constellations, manifest in the night.
Terra firma long since gone, a distant dream, a blip,
Earth we called it long ago before our craft let slip.
Rolling through the cosmos,...

(draft ii)

A rivulet of light appeared,
-- the denouement of night was near.
The birds began to wake the years
-- for fools, and knaves, and cavaliers. 

The denouement of night was near.
-- With feathered songs they hid...
