Veterans Day

Balance of time slights the recurring vigil
Country's pride gleans the depleting residual
Annual tears water the artifices above manicured ground
Unextinguished pyre of tinseled youth still seethes 'neath clodded mound
The drum roll of spent days serenade each, muted mime
As ceremonial taps grant ingratiated minds trite stime
Into heroic feats rendered in soldiers' splintered prime
Human shadows hover in the solace of peace sublime
Sodden warriors' token sacrifice remains layered in lime
Sentient wreaths shroud shallower graves
Each, calcified bone now jading memory's slave
Stoic crosses reincarnate the souls of the fallen brave
Devoted progeny patriotic reserves from depleted fibers shave

By Morning Light

Most clouds have slipped away
  pushed south by evening wind sways
  in the brief raindrop spin,
breezes remain wide and thin
  sliding through the rain
  as the outer darkness gains;
by morning light
 gone is the leftover black of night
 eased as the weather soaks in and dries
  in the slowed passing of 2026 July.

Off in the distant trees, locust repeat their calls
  repetitious then silence falls,
  but for the gatherings of crows
   cawing loudly to the earth below,
birdsong melodic rhapsodies explode
 in the cool of morning's flows
 into the warm of sunlight clothed.

The blue skies return again
  speckled with wispy white trends
  puffed up clouds  push in and out once more
    revealing harbored glimpses of heaven's door,
there comes a calm, a peaceful paused interlude
  as the sun the moon pursues
  that will soothe the day's vermouth
     with sweeter ingratiated fruits;

Noon arrives as nature thrives
  all in living grateful to be alive
  pulled into the rapture of life's inebriated delights
    save for the fools whirling in constant human flight.

THE CHANGING WORLD

The age of chivalry and bravery has ended

That of sophistry, rivalry, upon us descended

Those with ability, to charm and talk, are commended

They are now indeed enemies, whom we once befriended

Where has all the love gone, hitherto, unlimited

The human greed for wealth remains unsatiated

For money, men unleash violence unabated

The rich and elite are highly ingratiated

The poor and forlorn man’s woes are unmitigated

Never were people so fearful, streets so deserted

Always under threat, somehow their lives will be disrupted

True, in Eve’s drawl and Adam’s fall, we have lamented

But Devil’s devious ways we have inherited

As peace-loving people, we too were once saluted

Today, hatred and revenge have left us demented

Hero King

Once upon a time holly loosely based 
upon a true story 

There was a man who shall be called

Lord Mountbatten / Battenberg 

A true Hero in every sense of the word

Or so we all we're and have been told

1 part German somewhat British like
his father before him

Who now looking back upon reflection
truth now be eventually able to be told

The fact's don't seem to bare out
what we were in fact told to believe
and make of him

Because what he in fact seemed to
be was this

A man who rose to the lofty position
of Admiral despite the fact he crashed
3 ship's and cost countless lives

Who ingratiated himself through any
means into the grace's of the upper
echolocation of royalty and polite
society in order to service his agenda

Who resided over partition which the
losses and aftermath are still being
counted till today 

Orchestrated the introduction and
marriage of his nephew Phillip to
Queen Elizabeth 

And dropped his lifelong childhood
friend the King in waiting for his
brother when he abdicated 

In retrospect not fit to even be granted
so much as an audience in or with
such company in fact sullies their good 
name and reputation 

Unlike a man who through his deed's and
actions saved 2 million plus lives and
shortened the war by breaking the Enigma
code

Who unlike him was not repaid with
numerous honours and titles bestowed
on him in recognition of his contribution

But instead was chemically castrated
berated and worst of all suffered the
indignation of being hidden and wiped
from history altogether

At least now it's finally left up for prosperity
and history to decide with all the facts placed
clearly clarified on display

Who is fit to be called a Hero King
in all but Reginal name

Apprenticed To Love

Apprenticed to enamoring aviary, Love's cerebral chords to refine
To interpret the alluring tones in each, captivating line
Overhead, a snow white dove in the pure light doth shine
Innocent libido's inhibitions to illumine
On silted ground, turtle doves in beautiful harmony fealty bine
Every silky neck strand in seamless congruence to twine
In enchanting Lilac tree, song birds in melodic chorus rhapsody pine
The titillating rhythms of amorous romance to define
On fibrous pulp, wood peckers their virile aspirations sign
Artfully tracing each groove on hull bared and supine
In golden pond, nubile swans in tantric dance align
With graceful movements gently stirring the foamy brine
Hovering , humming birds' wings vibrate o'er suckling vine
Then with salivating tongues on frothy nectar dine
At dusk, Nightingales' guttural groans in palpitating soliloquy whine
The moonbeam's enticing spell on unwitting lovers to assign
Ebony-caped crows bellow bewitching chants o'er listless ravine
Each ingratiated soul with lustful thoughts to incline
Stealthy hawk with piercing eyes each svelte fiber doth divine
Then with dexterous agility swoops down on silky ermine

Special Opportunity

Many profitable chances presented
Yet ignored and woefully neglected
Later forsook and deeply regretted 
Reminiscing and yearning to be repeated

As many professed and accentuated
The innate desire to be in a relationship
Yet considered as a mere Freudian slip
While some fomented and ingratiated

Heart and soul left maimed and immolated
Disappointedly restive and repudiated
Expecting in return desires to be requited
Emotional feelings brooded and bated

Well, such is the intensely humanistic nature
But it is better to play not out of pretension
Then stick to such an honourable decision
Than to bring desires to endless torture

From trusted friends in mind, many captivated
With intent of dalliance and some I so desire
From nigh and far, I myself intently speculated
But the mire of the past yet refuses to expire

In quality and quantity from heart and thought
Tormenting my spirit from the joie de vivre
Until there came a holy saviour, My Lovely Diva
Who cohabited in heart and strength then fought

To clinch victory from the trauma of my past
Healed the bruises and won my heart at last
Her name is Jufai, My Dearest Mine
Special name from her Day Maker, only mine

With no regret, I prefer her among all of them
Crown her my Queen with a glorious diadem
In its nature, much more beautiful and magnificent 
Not even that of Queen Elizabeth is nearly lucent

For she is much more hollier than even a saint
With the best personality free of dirty paint
Her presence is a fountain of joy and tranquillity
Blessed with an epitome of honesty and modesty

A creature worthy of one to struggle or even suffer
To get such a special opportunity to accept your offer
So I'm so happy and grateful to be the chosen one
Luckily enough to have her in the midst of everyone. 

I Love You So Much My Dearest Mine ??

Hand Me My Leather

Twisting and writhing
Ruffling leaves as she passed
S-curves and U-shapes
Propelled her 
Past the crumbling daylight
Into the absence of sun
Tar and pitch
Where nothing was to be seen

She sank down on her belly, 
Licked the air, thought about 
Her life as she gulped a rat 
Wondered at beasts and bugs
Their feet, hooves, legs 
Ponderous about her own 
Lack there of 

Her belly had grown crispy
Her eyeballs dry and flaky 
As she continued to wonder
In her state of change 
Belly down, itchy, itchy! 
How easy it must be
For the horse to gallop away 
For the cat to preen with paws
The cow to kick unwanted infusions
But she! SHE had to grind and rub
Against rock, bush and dirt 
Was she powerless? 

The moon 

The cold blue white glow of the moon 
provided just enough sparkle for her to glisten, 
in her shiny black bodysuit 
And she began to think doubly
About her situation, as she undulated and bucked and listed, to free herself of her skin

Black bead eyes observed the crunchy strips of paper flaking off, revealing the supple oily wet curves below, new and smoother than fresh patent leather

Was she ingratiated by her lack
of paws? 
By her absence of cow tail or even fingers and toes? No. 
She thought on, 
and considered her second skin, worn out and yellowed, as an old worn out slipper to be discarded, and she- she with her powerful belly like a smooth sole, gliding on the most agile, powerful foot, moved on 
With a sensual ferocity
Across the night’s stage
art

And I Am the Result

Nature did not understand me, 
When it produced me, 
But I am understood by nature,  
By life’s processes and behaviours, 
Thoroughly admired and integrated, 
Almost ingratiated, 
Unable to complain or dig, 
Standing amazed at the plate. 

That I evolved, I know, 
Sure as a goldfish of his water:
My ancestor’s genes were modified and changed, 
Through everyday behaviour and focus, 
By partners’ characteristics and traits, 
In the determination to get through and win, 
By the physical touch relationship of sex. 

No problem at all, that’s fine for me, 
That massive statement of gene makeup, 
Those free interactions which take effect, 
In the enormous chain of descendants, 
Through that family ancestry tree, 
It made me, 
And even more, it does not determine me everyday, 
Because I’m free to choose my own rack, 
Friendships, partners, jobs and interests, 
And I can see that evolution is fair.
