Long Highlanders Poems

HARRY THE BREAKER
Harry galloped through the Mulga           (13% protien animal tucker)
On a game horse Bunga Din
The Brumbies galloping on Tolga
Were yarded with a grin
Every station...

...Duncan’s unit, the 42nd,
was placed in the center of the mass,
the French would crumble quick, he reckoned,
when the lines started marching at last,
not knowing that no orders had come,
yet on the left came the sounds...

Duncan was a young British soldier,
new recruit at fifteen years of age,
a good lad who followed his orders,
he was a fifer who liked to play,
his tunes directed men in the field,
the Blackwatch soldiers who didn’t...

On a Sussex farm works a golden haired girl
Surrounded by guys as she makes their hearts twirl
But her love and soul are miles away
In a Highlanders heart, she hopes to meet one day.

Odin looked confused, and Thor did too,
But none of us bothered to wait
Ten thousands years of warrior souls,
Charged the dark foe right out of the gate.
My boys they shot out Fenris’s eyes,
And the old 7th...

Since the day that I first left
Looking back,
Through different windows
Knowing there will be reft

I am for what I am, and I'll be

I am for what I am, you'll see

I found it hard to explain
The actions...

Heathen warriors dressed in the plaid
Victims of time and an evil brigade
Pursue their beliefs far into the South
Gaelic words from a Jacobite mouth

Like bairns against many a gun
The highlanders decided to run
Not for home and...

My door is open
I welcome you
To my Highland lands
Off heathers and hue
 
Cross the bridge
Of centuries old
To my castle of grey
In it's regal fold
 
Stand with me
In the great hall of my past
Like generations
Us Fraser's...

Images now received by satellite
Show spaceships similar to here
In Tunguska, deepest Russia
The largest seems to appear

Near the Kingdom of Scourie, Scotland
From the Minch it slowly arose
The third of them showed so silently
Highlanders agape, froze

Governments now...

Clan Stewart of Appin,
Clan MacGillvray too,
Fell at Culloden,
In the blood and dew.
They fell two by two, and then ten by ten,
Until twelve hundred dead, not sixty minutes in.
...At Culloden


The highland charge failed,
No victory as in...

It rests on the banks, of the Caledonian Canal
Surrounded by it's Highland beauty, in typical enthral

The aromas of luxurious greens adorned the ruin

And wandering up the stairs had intense feelings

Chills and goosebumps and Erector Pelli presented

The closer the emerging, the more intuition feelings

Here I’d been, in this place along ~...

She was enrapt by the glow and mesmerized
by what appeared to be some sort of orb,
bright faceted amber that was crystallized.
She struggled to comprehend and to absorb
the meaning of such a gilded gift of gold...

To have an empty heart
For nearly thirteen years
Inner emptiness
Many internal tears
 
Music is my Savior
And now poetry has come along
I know where i want to be
It's where my empty heart belongs
 
I have thirteen years...

LOCH NESS 



Nestled in rugged lap of Scottish highlands
A sprawling lake, the Loch Ness, swerves
In blue hills of old metamorphic rock bands
Lost glacier melt of the ice age it preserves.

The times of huge dinosaurs have...

pessimists say weed, highlanders say emblem,
summit of strength, protected by spikelet's and hardiness,
bewitching and captivating flower, irresistible to man and deity.
armed stem defends and supports, tipped with the pride of Scotland,

coverage of clover hardened by...

Weekend away in medieval castle
Traveling to Scotland on overnight train
Read the account of Culloden battle
Highlanders lost cherished domain.

Eyes feeling heavy am swept away
living the moment from long ago
Brave clan tartans fought that day
Historically painful tale...

The dreamy look
From her radiant face
Three roses in her hair
In picture grace

Scarlet red
Pink and blue
Deep dark eyes
Complexion true

Her rosy lips
Invite a kiss
This Highlanders
Longing wish

Dressed in mauve
Her curves of art
I long to be 
Inside her heart

Too...

A man of words his mind comes alive on paper
A teacher of mine his lines so fine
Wisdom is defined with his poets desire
I imagine him sitting in a meadow across from the stream 
His pen...

Down Tallahassee
Down Florida way
The talents of a poet
Make this Highlanders day

The writes we read
The tales she shares
Incredible words
Just make me stare

The more I read
The more I enjoy
I'm like a new kid
With it's favourite toy

As her...

Warrior of battle
A leader of men
Triumphant in victory
In his Highland glens

His followers unite
In battle ready clans
Willing to die
As they fight for their lands

Burns run red
As thatched crofts burn 
To lead ones clan
Is birthed and earned

It is my wish
To kiss the cheek
Of a lovely girl
I hope to meet
 
This birthday lass
In the month of July
Makes this Highlanders heart
Soar and fly
 
Her inspiration 
Has encouraged in me
Helped me write
In the poems...
