The meter—the castle,
the rhyme in the moat
The battlements weary,
all meaning afloat
The knights at the ready,
swords sharpened and drawn
Each piercing a sonnet
—each flag a new dawn
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)
Unguarded by the living now,
The castle stood.
Drawbridge dangling.
Tongued mouth reaching outward.
Crenulations gnawing,
The stark gray sky.
Rime-covered battlements
Coated with gangrenous moss moan.
With a banshee’s howl through apertures
Where archers once stood.
. for public domain
(Why some people walk dark alleys on Christmas Eve)
From stone battlements they stare
into blackness, each aware
of the dark night of the soul,
where so many loose their way
ere the breaking of the Day,
wash out to sea with the shoal.
Each a beam of Heaven's Grace,
ready offer God's embrace,
to mend broken lives, whole.
. . . or maybe
the esotericism of
whatever
passes for
academic
discourse
in these later
days of no
Latin no Greek
no rollick in
the original
tongues of bards
who in facing
the Moors had
strummed of
delayed lust
for ladies
a-waiting
in their foggy
homelands
pining away
from unassailable
baconies far up
on cold stone
battlements
yet holding
the dream
aloft .
Long, wide, vast, high, dreadfully deep protective walls
Battlements, ramparts, bulwarks, and tower folders
Living quarters, arrow slits, gatehouses, and halls
Monstrous walls built as though with steel-alloy boulders
Water-filled deep massive moats to obstruct the foes
Bastions and merlons within majestic meadows
Forts and castles are mysteries of histories.
They are focal themes of bewildering stories.
The whimper of a defenseless child weak and haunting can fill the cup,
of melancholy to age a grail of tears.
The squeal most animal like as heart is pierced
by betrayal a declaration ..almost too real.
The bawl of hunger and indignity the red-faced rage of entitlement,
the dry-eyed warning hail of men from battlements, so many, variations,
so many wet displays, so many maudlin melodies
of man and his betrayal…
Show me the gate
Show me the fortification
I see the trooping of colors
Where is the gate show me
Show me that i may lock it
I see the trooping of colors
Show me the mole
Show me that i might eliminate
Roy i see the trooping of colors
Show me the battlements
Show me the prepared designs
Roy i see the trooping of colors
Why did we go to war
We went to protect
The south gate.. i see colors
