The jester and the poet
the last bastions to protest
oppression

neither blind nor deaf
the silence tells the story
of my disgust

you have lost my respect
one day, when is your children
do not come crying to me

The Light House

Terraced light
Holding bright
Effervescence behold
Long lost
Intrepid sailors
Grope for
Halo's beacons
Teaming ships
Home alone
On sentry's
Unrelenting watch
Skippers bastions
Emitting guidance

Divine
love, light and scent
pervades each cell of form,
signalling heavenward ascent,
as the last bastions of our ego fall,
bursting noiselessly in the void
and then that that remains
is soul essence
divine.

Fallen from your perilous perch,
Reaching beyond fathomless depths…
Entering bastions foreboding entry, while
Enduring all pain that comes incessantly
Denying oneself and all limitations
Only to be caught in the trap of life’s expectations, but…
Making life the way you desire it to be!...

She's freer now
she spends her time
on the wherewithal
Through the bastions of yesterday
she prays for brighter days
She wrote me a letter
questions of sand
a matter of the heart
reposes a promise
comet like she smiles
Through concrete glades
a vetch on the hill
she is restoring yellow

No, no, no,no.
Catharses catharsis abounds equals equal being worth.
Jesus Christ beauty bastions newly grounded work.
Furthermore my love,
Apologize to that guitar man.
His sentimental chimes.
Are shaking my rebricate quill.
Greasing both pork rinds.
Do as I do.
Not as I say.
I don't know.
Get saved anyway.
Rinforzando!...

The inner sound current and rapture of bliss,
entwine with empowerment of soul’s third eye,
with fragrance of sacred ash veiled as God’s kiss
and as senses so converge, in joy we sigh.
In this way as bastions of ego are stormed,
layer by layer we are slowly transformed,
with the false falling away, we cease to sway,
beholding the light of Self, as clear as day....

my world took flight with appetite 
those bastions precisely planned
slowly collapsed and caved 
on shifting drifting sand

you were the screen in my submarine 
the rubber crutch on which I lean 
holes in my boat letting water out
and the sour in cabbage kraut

dominos fall
when the clock strikes two
a shrew flew over my cuckoo
and the shrew that flew is you...

Little black books- blooming everywhere.
from shining sea islands, to Belair mansions
to white house lattice and cathedral bastions 

Little black books-Bloom-blooming-everywhere.
A few pawns are pared/ 
but the bishops and kings are always spared.

Little black books... blooming- blooming everywhere.
Little black books with coal dusted secrets
Magically disappear.

Poetry and Freedom

        A poet is still free to write about what they choose.
        Come now, what do we have to lose?
        Poetry~ one of the last bastions to be free.
        With political correctness on the raging warpath!
        After all words with mendacious audacity.
        To steal words from group-think and rob us of poetic individuality!

The ground gaped garishly, gored with ghastly gouges of glowing, gravelly gobs ...

Finally unfettered from a frigid firmament, flames flung fiery, flaring fingers 
          ferociously forward ...

The blazing bastions bent on burning the backwood bluffs bare with bitter brutality ...

Unholy hoards of heated horror hailing the heavens with heinous, heckling howls of                           
          hellish hostility....

On a mountain called home 
A mountain gave its' ground 
The Shadowfire 
That lies in its' heart 
In you... 
in me 

The colour known only to you 
The colour reflected within its' walls 
Through vaulted ceilings 
Bastions of stone 
Flying buttress 
Turret and spire 
This the castle known as... 
Shadowfire 

To look upon the sky 
See the silouette 
Tall spire 
Rising from a mountain 
An eagle to fly 
A castle high 
Shadowfire...
