Premium Member LAND OF ENCHANTMENT

Name of Painting: Land of Enchantment
Artist: Norman Rocwell

I stand before Rockwell’s painting, 
the world tilting toward wonder~  
a boy is bent over a book, 
lantern glow pooling around him, 
a small sun he’s been trusted to keep.

Figures rise from the page:
knights, sprites, impossible creatures,  
their colors soft yet insistent, as if imagination itself  
has stepped out to greet him.  

I watch the boy’s face—rapt, unguarded~  
and feel that old ache of childhood belief,  
the way stories once lifted me  
beyond the boundaries of my own small life.

The air around me smells of dust and summer wood;  
the book’s spine creaks like a door opening;  
and the painted air hums with that tender promise  
that the world is larger, stranger, kinder  
than I remembered.

Rockwell reminds me that enchantment isn’t loud~  
it arrives quietly, like tidewater or truth,  
asking only that I pause long enough  
to let the impossible step forward.

And standing before the painting,  
I feel something shift: 
a loosening, a widening~  
as if the boy’s lantern has cast its circle  
around me too,  
inviting me back into the realm  
where wonder is not a relic  
but a living, breathing companion.

Premium Member Huffle-Winks , a Knights Story

Huffle-winks came from the forest of Jom
The King sent five knights to track them all down
For they had brought terror to the kingdom
He offered his daughter and prince’s crown.

Four of the bold knights by dragons were slain
But one lone brave knight continued the quest
Through woods, rivers and mountainous terrain
Until quest completed he would not rest.

The forest entrance surrounded by mire
Here the huffle-winks would meet their demise
That is where the brave knight built a large fire
Their enemies helped him, the dragonflies.

Huffle-winks are gone, they’ve not been seen since
The knight wed the princess and was crowned prince.

Friendly Duels – V

Is friendship like a funeral 
Where cold frenzies are played out 
Among friends of the darling years? 
Neighbours protect themselves 
In solid caves of ancient discord
Where offsprings are bred & armed 
With deadly weapons of hatred! 
Men linger here sad & tired 
As in a land of the living-dead – 
The drummers are like the dancers:
A shadow of their ancestors!
War-eyed fake & drudged intellectuals 
Litter our paths of native mind 
Bearing giant luggage of rumours 
More fearful than real battles 
Of castled Chauceric knights!
O in those far-away tenements 
And squalors which house students 
Many an empty ruse germinate 
In a soil rich in abuses!
Two inmates fled from the night 
To those hut-like structures 
Where secret readings are enacted –
Then two lads for long cursed! 
Men & women & kids linger here 
In a small society born for love 
Sensibility & contemplation & inquiry 
Forsaken in cold rumours of wars 
While sanity & love dwell in the grave!
Does hatred breed love & health & life?
The Oxford days are gone?

Angel of His Presence

I.

There's a phantom closing in with the tempest
There's an all seeing eye in the wind that knows best
There's a voice crying in the wilderness without rest
Repent! Repent! The kingdom of Truth is at hand
The knights of Zion are almost done with their quest
The raving dusk calls dawn and her dewy companions
They beseech the Lord of the light full years who paid the highest ransom


II.

Listen to the cornerstone speak
He holds back the blooms in seasons when he pleases
His words are lustrous and his voice is still
My heart will hold his secrets
Like the heavens hold the cluster of stars
When all their forces and courage in radiance they muster
Their tolerances and desires to utter
Deep-seated on high with the twenty and four elders


III.

Indulge me, Lord of the cross
The battles wouldn't engulf me though my life seems to hang on a toss
The storms I seek to quell will never overwhelm me
If I stay in the hollow of your hands, your spirit will protect me
If you let me down, I may end up with the lost you count
So please hold me now and let me drink from your fount


IV.

Your elements of time no other can device
Lord of the Earth, seas and fire
You hush winds and here in the midst of uncertainty we build what's certain,
Lo, I'm forever strong on your wings
Knowing you're the true Lord of the spirits
Your will for me is written
By the angel of your presence, it is fulfilled


V.

There are beholders with beauties, all yours
And windows blinded by superstitions hearts nurse
Dreaming on a journey that never seems to end
Only Jesus can hold us firm when that thief comes to rend
Blaming God knowing there's nothing without the maker
And he brings forth all put down by the undertaker
All cast in one image by the angel of his 
presence


The Strange Truces of King Arthur

The Strange Truces of King Arthur
by Michael R. Burch

Artur took Cabal, his hound,
and Carwennan, his knife,
and his sword forged by Wayland
and Merlyn, his falcon,
and, saying goodbye to his sons and his wife,
he strode to the Table Rounde.

“Here is my spear, Rhongomyniad,
and here is Wygar that I wear.
Now ready for war,
an oath I foreswore
to fight for all that is righteous and fair
from Wales to the towers of Gilead!”

But none could be found to contest him,
for Lancelot had slewn them, forsooth,
so he hastened back home, for to rest him,
till his wife bade him, “Thatch up the roof!”

Originally published by Neovictorian/Cochlea, then by Celtic Twilight

We must sometimes wonder if all the fighting related to King Arthur and his knights was really necessary. In particular, it seems that Lancelot fought and either captured or killed a fairly large percentage of the population of England. Could it be that Arthur preferred to fight than stay at home and do domestic chores? And, honestly now, if he and his knights were such incredible warriors, who would have been silly enough to do battle with them? Wygar was the name of Arthur’s hauberk, or armored tunic, which was supposedly fashioned by one Witege or Widia, quite possibly the son of Wayland Smith. The legends suggest that Excalibur was forged upon the anvil of the smith-god Wayland, who was also known as Volund, which sounds suspiciously like Vulcan.

Premium Member Her Majesty

She  peruses the paper each morning, and the cartoons for laughs
 Then she  reads letters from the public
 Most of these letters are responded to by her staff
 She is briefed daily on matters of policy and politics

 She meets privately with the prominent and those of fame
  And  gives out awards and medals
 She is from a tradition of times medieval
 If she knights you, Sir, precedes your name

 When meeting her, women curtsy
 While gentlemen bow to Her Majesty
 She has  reigned with grace
 And is loved by people from many places

 The daughter of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth
 Her accession to the throne was in 1952
 After her father's death
 In 1953 she became Queen Elizabeth Ii

Premium Member Silhouette

Your silhouette sitting there with your legs enhanced by the stockings you adorn 
Barring your essence of skin 
With your starry eyes you gaze, in alluring hither, you flaunt 
With your free flowing hair soft and lush, golden in locks -
Softly touch the shoulders in pale white skin 
Your arms slim and elegant, lay to the side
Revealing the soft flesh valley that leads down to your navel 

With words drooling off the tip of my tongue 
Filling my blood expand in warmth 
Kneeling down as knights do, in front of you
With soft filled kisses adorn to your 
Silky white flesh 
From the neck soft lips suckle -
flowing downward in temptations at every kiss
Lips mingle, tied together by twisted lashes of tongue 

Ravage flesh in my mind to lay softly in all time
next to you

Premium Member The Game Changer Chapter Two: Battlefield Pi

The Game Changer-

Battlefield Pi
A call to arcs!!!

Breathes originating desiring chi to be thee
1st Brigade

There be Oarks against Knights
With fairies and Elves 
Choosing sides amongst themselves
Upon which side of the line
They chose pouring magic wine
Pawns on a chase board be
If you think overlord thee

Mentalist envisioning new dimensions
In Spec. Ops.

Warlocks and Witches
Creating webs and swing stitches
Then there are those calling on
Faith in wishes
Which goes along with those
Why sick who disses 

Psychotic, Physic, Prophets
Mystical, Medium, Mediums
Readers, writers, Rituals
Shaping, Sacred, Stones

Supreme pair are right inside Triangle
Is Center for Command and Control

Archangels and demons even be when 
We dreaming
Monsters and Gods, who knew the odds
Ghost, and Ghouls if you don’t have the tools
Super Heroes and Super Villains
All living among the civilians
The metamorphs and trans-humans 

Deciding upon which unit 
One’s will, will you unite  

Battles constantly is waged throughout the light of day
While the light in the dark shines the night away

This be ye mission
Whatever ye been wishing
Ye created in your own words
Which be ye’s decisions
Residing ye in that dimension
