Long Galahad Poems

 Continued from Part 1 

3. TEATIME INTROSPECTION
Amongst the many are the few
who maim and kill and think it’s true
that purple war’s a parlour game
when really they’re submerged in shame
for crimes for which they are...

There are some of you I know
who think that I’ve forgotten,
my first kiss, or even my first kiss with you
(in love’s soft hopeful beckoning).
So I’m writing this to soften blow
to those who think me perhaps...

Daddy! 
You had to drive me to school everyday and pick me up.
I was only six and we had noschool buses.

One wintry afternoon, I came out, a blizzard whirled all about.
Wearing no boots or leggings,...

~ Once upon a long ago...
Three kids were raised on my family's farm
I am the middle child who spent more time 
working in the fields with Dad, my Galahad,
for I found household chores such a...

I don't wear glasses in shades of rosy pink 
and I don't believe that fairytales come true. 
But when I dip love's pen into indigo ink 
I create the man I desire. Could he be...

I will always wonder what sort of love we had.
I was naive and blindly infatuated.
You were seventeen years older than I, and sad. 
From the beginning our shaky love was fated.

We had met and I...

O Camelot! O Camelot!
The winds have changed, the land got hot!
Though dromedaries are quite neat,
A bactrian's hard to unseat,
And so the knights still joust a lot.

At banquet feasts, the men are found,
And like the table,...

You are my Galahad, the purest and noblest of knights,
in your light, others are but shadows in the dark.
Valiant, stalwart, and compassionate,
you take my hand in yours, and I'm in heaven. 
You are the rock...

My hero of late is my son, Lance.
He's nearly eight years old.
No one can tell him who he is.
My son, you see, already knows.

When others seek to change him,
He clings firmly to his way.
He's not...

We rode out of Camelot, sun arising, 
five knights led by Galahad all bold and true, 
on a quest to slay a marauding dragon,
at Arthur's request.

T'was noon when we discovered the dragons lair, 
and kept...

Your feelings surface, and tears
spill from your eyes as you speak.
You say you've loved me for years,
wiping the drops from your cheek. 

Your wrenching words sound so sad,
layered with emotion and hope. 
My virtuous Galahad,
I...

With the wisdom in my heart I must agree
For at times it knows what I cannot see.
People in my life may come and go,
But only a few I want to get to know.

Sincerity is the...

My first time at the movies
I was young at 13 years old
really excited I was that day
watching the big screen was true gold

The big feature was ' Kid Galahad'
starring Elvis the rock 'n' roll king

Galactic marvel; Gallant Galahad to swimming gala.
Gallery of sirens lying galore; a sexy display. 
On bed of Galax, a living Galatea, he sees Hallah.
A tactical Galago, he jumps wooing the gal to play. 
In Galician,...

~ SIR GALAHAD's RETURN ~


Sir Galahad's returned to life
Hurrah! Huzzah! and Yippee-Yay!
He's bought himself a hunting knife...
Strange appetites of steeds these days
Demanding noodles, but not hay

Announcing in the village square
"I've come to catch a yeti...

All across the continents I chased her
Following the rainbow to win her gold.
Hoping somehow, someday, I’d embrace her,
A treasure beyond price that I might hold.

Beyond the Seven Seas my ship has sailed.
Relentlessly, her smile I...

The treasures in old books

Historic events,
The times that have been,
Adventures to live in,
Those wonderful dreams.
Thrillers and killers,
And spies by the score,
Dancing, romancing,
The heart can adore.

Warfare and combats,  
The Maginot line,
Vampires and zombies,
To mess with...
