Ballad of the sun

The sun hanged    like mango fruit like fernship
     sometimes yellowish, sometimes redish,  sometimes 
  silvery,  sometimes gleely or glassy or naiad or a bug 
  lady or water mermaid queen. 
      And these politicians and my country went to the woods 
   and delibrated what to deliberate 
  may be about grostequeing or pang or ambulance or 
   sometimes the African giant?. 
  Yes, sometimes the weather is rainbow and cheer and 
   charm a lot.

up the creek

 I'm in the pickle mine
            Think

This morn mine palate
      In concert with
         Mine maws
      the empanadas
         hern dulce
Mine thank you waved
        She winked

         This noon
  Whilst enjoying the
    Spring's cool wet
         the naiad

         the naiad
            think

Nap are my three kittens taking.
Napoleon stretching, waking,
Naiad naughty and quite faking,
Nipper so, so hesitating.
Natural love warmth they're bringing. 
Need their sunshine and most loving,
Needed snuggles as they're shoving,
Nipping, to get away; rushing.
Nuisance at times, but adoring.
Nap time once more they'll be taking;
Nymph of nature when they're crashing.

Premium MemberThis Kind of Stuff We Just Can'T Excuse

I loosen my belt and remove my shoes
   So, dear, what's going on in the news
They blocked the streets; tore down statues
   No surprise there; of what were they accused

The protestors, nothing; but the statues held leftist views
   What?  What are you saying, dear?  Now I'm confused
Honey, it seems that a staunch abolitionist was the first one abused
   Huh?  An abolitionist?  For what was his statue so cruelly used

I don't know. He organized a militia to fight slavery; he was super-enthused
   -- Oh, yeah.  Hans Christian Heg; maybe one of those religious yahoos
Then that explains that!... Darling I'd really like to continue to schmooze --
   But I promised the girls I'd help topple Arethusa of Syracuse...



Notes: Hans Christian Heg's statue was, indeed decapitated today in
          Madison, Wisconsin.  His 'crime:' He was an abolitionist who organized
          a group of Wisconsinites into a Union militia in order to fight against
          slavery in the Civil War... Go figure!
         
         Arethusa was a naiad nymph of the sacred Greek colony of Syracuse.
         Virgil felt that she inspired pastoral poetry.  (Like the above... lol).

My Love Is Like a Corpse

My love is like a corpse
Upon the gothic floor
Where I have wept till soul is dry
With eyes like corpses when they rise
Behold the sun which melts away
Dying daily with no shame
What shone what found I cannot say
But love is cruel in its way
A kiss like vampires delight
To feed so rabidly at night
As lips of tender crimson drip
Strange man should pine to die like this
And low a shadow in the trees
With moon—and sun upon her knees
Tis darkness in its velvet garb
The mother of my morbid heart
For there are shadows like to trees
They grow surplanting us beneath
Their roots are sorrow in our heart
Such is the macabre of their art
As when upon the listlessness of world
I roam or linger and the breeze
Has coughed and spat its mist on me
A kiss oh naiad of the night
Those lips have cursed my mortal plight
A kiss as soft as corpses breath
Imparting unto me
Some faint but mellow memory
Of love-as love is tragically

Following the Sunrays

Fables are told today
Only on past golden days
Love is what we’ll make today
Loneliness will be ashamed to stay.
Oasis as longs for rain,
Wacky me to get a swain,
Iambus we long to gain
Naiad I shall play again.
Gaiety will be brought back to gain.

Tabard you will be wearing 
Hallucinating, spell casting;
Earnestly I’ll be waiting,	
Surrounding your hypnotizing.
Ubiquitous glee will eradicate dark.
Never ending exquisiteness,
Rabidity seeing of such love you made.
Abashed cheek will make you a pearl
Yaffle of green love tree will sing a song
Sabbath will announce that holly concord.

From Out the Swirling Surf

From out the swirling surf 
he plucked a maiden fair, and in distress, 
whose innocence intrigued him so 
that he could not confess in speech, 
articulate her loveliness. 

He took her to his breast and blessed her, 
held her close, and quieted her fears; 
it was as if she knew him well, 
such recognition in her eyes, 
as joy and peace didst dry away her tears. 

They joined in union, enjoyed 
the purest of all sacraments, 
unsullied by lascivious display. 
They blended, as a tree blends with the sky, 
a fusion of the elements. 

He was Poseidon, she a wayward naiad, 
protected by his gentle touch, 
a helpless waif in need of solace, 
he the providence that calmed her, 
proffered bliss she craved so much. 

They were lovers found in time, 
wanderers who claimed their home, 
dreamers courting paradise, 
bound together now as one 
and sanctified, no more to roam.

The Ondine

In reservoirs, far underground,
where stalagmites are sometimes found.
In lakes and ponds and puddled pools,
in mist and marsh and snow that cools,
I hide beside my sisters. 

In issuing springs that sparkle bright,
on stony slopes of shade and light, 
to flowing streams that twist and turn, 
past meadow banks of grass and fern,
I glide beside my sisters. 

In river reach with rippling flow
‘tween rush and reed I always go,
to delta mouths both deep and wide,
which seas contest at every tide,
to glide beside my sisters.

In raging rapids torrents race,
or waterfall’s tumultuous pace,
in storm lashed seas, which crash and break,
on shingle shores that white waves rake,
I ride beside my sisters.

And who am I that rides so free, 
who glides and hides so easily;
a mermaid in the salty sea,
a naiad or a white kelpie?
A water nymph you just might see,
me ride, beside my sisters.
