Here
come the
cavalry-
A white knight in
blue.

Umberto Boccioni loved to sketch
many a lira did they fetch
Died following a Cavalry horse fall
changing genres a unique artistic  call...

Bellow the cheers!
Send in every cavalry!
Our Sunday begins!
We've arrived on our kindest of evenings,
And our laughter is real.
This is whatever moment you want it to be....

(?) Emily Dickinson-
I know the cavalry of woe
Nations do not see.
None observe dying eyes,
No regards with love.
We trust in the angels
With feet and uniforms of snow....

The cavalry charged, leading the way
     The infantry advanced, joining the fray

   As for me, I was up to a little deviltry
     Donned my goggles ~ battled virtual reality...

Rainbow
Arch of triumph
Watching the streaming rain
Heavens thunderous cavalry
Retreat.


Rainbow
Shimmering arc
Stretching across grey skies
Does that path lined with silver end
With gold?...

bony tree branches
thrust at the blanket of stars
sky yields to darkness.

last autumn leaves drift
rafting the river current
cavorting with wind.

storm sweeps fiercely down
cavalry charge of thunder
gusting rain hurls grits....

As the clock strikes midnight, my sleep ignored
my mind weary, for the battle rages on:

the cavalry fighting stresses unknown
foot soldiers striking enemies, who are
to dastardly to describe in my prose

The battle unworn, my mind and eyes close....

I was born out of hopelessness. 

To a family, I am not possessed. 

Those loving faces were all a dream. 

I am dragged into loneliness, it seems. 

I guess it’s time for me to be stricken. 

I will not abide by the shocks that sicken!

The pain that should make me forget…

No cavalry is not coming I bet....

My Soul Fainted

My soul fainted, because my spirit is weak.
My mind is wondering, while my heart skips a beat.
I’m still breathing because God gave me breath of life.
I’m still here, because he has mercy upon me.
My soul looked back, and wonders, how I made it over?
The answer is Jesus, because he died on cavalry....

Tingling toes
of the megabyte cavalry
callouses scraping
along private roads
Cascading matrices
on the plasma periphery
peasantry bleating
on official commands
Stewing a cauldron
a festering foment
watering nations
from acid-soaked cans
BE SAFE!
say the oracles
so buying a check
but electing the cavalry
leaves the infantry wet...

The celebration cometh as Christ
was nailed on the cross of cavalry
carrying our burden of sins.
Everyone was bitter sad and
He spoke out is last storming statement
That was stamped by heaven and
gave up the ghost.

On the third day;
He resurrected and appear to his
people, who is he”JESUS CHRIST”
he is alive, he never dies but slept!!!...

A vision darts amber art;
Garte beats off the chart;
Cavalry set apart;
Fondly vision do darts;
~
Caressing mind always;
Sitting upon me for days;
Always visions viewed;
 in my head my soul,
~
Whispers Spirit Sparks
Listens makes my heart Shivers 
Imparting parts of my heart

Plastic Alice through the looking glass
I espy her
in yellow pattern dress
set her free

As the cavalry of life 
passes through your eyes
a vague  comical yes prevails
dense companion

A parody starts
summoned REALISATION
night time dissipates
broken wings
A debt so unpassable
dull reflection
you can be anyone
you want to be
show some freude!...

In battle dress, a king
Galloping on snow-white steed
Sword drawn and pointing ahead
Crown of iron and gold upon his head

Of a sudden he stops
From shining saddle he drops
Something caught his attention
Saintly praise from those commissioned

For a herd he calls
“Join me,” beckoning to all
Mounting up, resumes the charge
We follow him, near and far...

Cavalry chivalry;
Splendor cadillac ;
I'm sure love 
For you shall;
Not to be ignored;
Beloved you are my 
Beloved;
And heated bliss;
I must insist;
I 'll seal our hearts wish;
With the Velvet kiss;
Splendor a cabaret;
 I love you so this day;
What a beautiful foray?

A vision dark amber art;
Garte beats off the chart;
 Cavalry set apart;
Fond visions do dart;
 Caressing minds ways;
Sitting upon me for days;
Preamble!
Always vision, views in my head; 
My soul whispers;
Spirits sparks; 
Listens making beats to my heart;
Shivers important parts
 of my heart;

Battalion column coup de grace;
It’s what was planned, but didn’t work that way.
We’ve bled all our embarrassments
At bayonet point and now must cede the day.
God damn the blasted cavalry;
They’ve left this muddy field a bloody pool.
All hell for the artillery;
I’d like to face one gunner in a duel.
It’s over, done and finished with.
The very best withdraw in disarray.
La Garde reculé....

Arrogant Custer thought he was the greatest thing since the invention of dynamite!

  He took on Sitting Bull who outnumered him ten to one which wasn't very bright!

He led the Seventh Cavalry to disaster never to answer another reveille call!

  "Yellow Hair" proved that old Biblical admonition, "Pride goeth before the fall!"

 Princes, Princesses, Kings and Queens,
Have you heard of the lock down fiend,
Search by night ,
Search by day,
The creeper, Creeps away,
Disguised, Unknown,
Fear beyond the gates,
Look high, Look low,
Look through hale or snow,
Find the creeper awaiting,
Hide, Hide the silence of the night,
Call the cavalry,
Sleep tight, Sleep well,
Creeper, Deeper hell.

Will you be my knight
And slay the dragons

Will you be my super hero
Protecting me from evil

Will you be my cavalry
And rescue me from the enemy

Will you be my fortress
Surrounding me with your strength

Will you be my candle
My light in the darkness

Will you be my lighthouse
Bringing me safely to shore

Will you be my guardian angel
And save me from my demons

Will you be my love
And give to me your heart...

She:
Lie back wounded Cavalry
Let the moon shine upon you blissfully
Let me perch upon you gracefully
Above your muscles soundly
Yes. Stroke my breasts ambly
Yes kiss my shoulders passionately
Rest and peruse my flesh slowly
Yes now, yea may freely

He:
Let yours out freely
Let your sweet words 
All pour over me
Expel your gift's glossy tea
Let my rain glisten upon you nobly,
In my flower is a spirit
It is thus our child to be....

Crazy Cat, I will say you are all wet.
You are not the chief of this tribe yet.
That position is still reserved for me.
I am the one who leads our people called “Hekawi”.
You know that cavalry troop led by Sergeant O’Rourke and Corporal Agarn.
They are all lousy shots.  They couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn.
Even though the network cancelled our show,
in widely-displayed reruns, we still go to and fro.

Based on the sixties sitcom “F Troop”

Day curfew throughout the city
The cavalry, who went on this route, 
are missing
And the falling fog ... 
nearly wiped their foot prints. 


Comes the 'Kojagari' full moon night
The hills are now silver canvas
Yes, Raja Ravi Varma likes
to go missing in this way ... 


Facing the pretty Shillong city, 
I am sitting up. 
Oh space, enlighten human life ! 
Seven stars of the Ursa major
can never be separated.
