Long Galleys Poems

Continued from Part 1

Hungary hounds harangue the highlands,
howl at skies and desert islands…
Below, unfettered carbon crows conceal the parting path she chose

Lighthouse lamps and lanterns lolling…
Mute abandoned fleets are calling…
The shallow shadowed portholes vaunt dim...

Madness exuded like the 
war cries of epic battles
and sagas' past,
the myth of man and 
the passionate woman.
As the eruption
began to procure its
preparations, Prince Alarumdives,
a moment with the King,
solace, questioning divinity.
"My father, what troubles

Better her than all be lost to sea.”

But Admiral calls from ships numbered...

Gather round both young and old for I've a tale to tell. 
About this little lonely cat by the name of Tabby O'Dell.

The Devil spoke to me
with glee about what could be, promising, possibly,
he thumbed a drum of hearts pulsing
so I could see the drug of love
that I was missing,
a tempo true and rude impossible to elude

The sun forgot to tell the moon 
'Good morning honey, now go to sleep!'
So the moon was blue,
While the eyes wandered like
A nascent feather in a sidereal sky,
The sword of faith leapt up to Smear...

WE SIT and watch our amber tigers
beautifully silent now, their stripes gone, however
they lie by the bedside in their fleeting splendour
with the serenity of heaven’s blue
a reminder of heartbreak on a wedding day
an image of...

The hand of dawn smashed the cleavage of the midnight sky 
Cuddled the moon and flirted with the milky way 
Until the sky missed all her stars 
The clouds became pregnant 
The night was still...

The day is fading into night,
The sea turning black as can be.
This is when my mind kicks in,
When it goes off meandering.

It shows me ships from far away,
From another time in history.
Sailing ships from a...

Summon the patient matrons from their hollow galleys 
Waiting on the edges of the musical drums within the flesh
None will know a return
In the outpouring of words, the distance becomes a rather familiar apparatus
And eerie...

In the heat of winter one dreary night
A storm was eager to show its might,
The temperature was frigid outside
Yet it was hot and steamy inside,
Lying languorously I saw her
on a recliner of white satin and...

Tails and claws in reefs with opiates for pain,
Bad sight, ten legs and dollar profits to be made.

Prior to their own demise, they dined on fish and mollusks,
To savor and munch away with epicurean palettes.

As gentle winds parlayed
their enchantments
upon the galleys of
meadows set abliss.

Rose petals of romance
and desire, 
were softly strewn about, 
carelessly,
as lovers amidst a kiss.

As the golden sun
portrayed, 
the treasures that are
found, thee within.

The grace of God's...

River of Clouds

Lazy mists dawdle through valleys,
Wending in a river of clouds,
Surfs deep dales on rising tides.

Silver curly-cue veils dally
On twisting rivers like a shroud -
Leaves a pale kiss on...

When the doodle
of the people opine
and the piss spore
squeeze,
there will be fields and tundras
in the deep hollow of
moonlight winery ...

Scope of voids

Deep in the ocean,
where the sun
doesn’t reach
and the galleys
of Salamis sleep,
the fish-moons
pass
on tip-toe.

In yellow
the time is shining,
forged
to the oars
of once passed
foam
in flags
dreamers of eternity.

But it happens to me
(at unsaid hour)
in the moon garden
of the sea
