Ripped spirit, apart
battling thy righteous crusade.
Twin dragons rampage....

grail has
been
found

yet
sated
by blood
i'm not

instead a brown
paper bagged
bottle of red
dry wine...

They don’t walk to them
To beseech their shows of hands
They as a rule stay
On a raised dais and talk down
At their feet on crusade grounds...

who knew than the crusades with melancholy singing will bite your ass
for the warriors at a lost to distract you from your computer and cell...

The sun shines once more
In the midst of this downpour
Thought I was getting used to
Be forayed in this crusade
Till that warmth touches my soul...

Bandit of Youth

Stolen from an 
unknowing crusade
to enlightenment,

turned to a wheel of
carefully cured cheddar
advanced age seems sudden.

Charlie's cartoon characters were afraid
`Cause Caren wants humor in her crusade
Only one person submits
Caren careens and retrofits
Curiously all have it made in the shade...

To love like no one else.
To know a forever bond.
Travel this world,side and side.
No secrets kept,nothing to hide.
For us our truth be made.
On the quest of our next crusade....

 No Current too Vast to outmatch the Fires of Faith
 Running On Water the Mantra on this Light Crusade,
 No Mountain too Steep if you truly believe
 the Magic of creation shines within Everything...

Victory,
             Eager, exciting
 Attacking, challenging, satisfying,
Fight, combatant, crusade, enemy,
     Taming, Disarming, Falling,
            Horrible, weary,
                  Defeat...

Unemployment line
Single file to soup kitchen...
Fear of homelessness

Unemployment line
Cries in emergency room...
Fear, no insurance

Unemployment line
Like a faith-healer's crusade...
Hope to help, heal, house...

The silence slips away
The sanguine tides crusade
Upended sentences are untold
To touch the earth
and see a circuit of lies
shrouded by a nothing call
The hoofs of horses roam
to myriad kingdoms
putting your best foot forward...

Well, another year is gone 
As we continue along with life 
There will be more opportunities 
To be in the crusade of light 
Always step forward 
And rise to the challenge 
We broaden our horizons 
That is where we find our balance...

Righteous cleaning crusade clashes,
Make sure that your mania matches.
All must serve at our behest!
In this unbound purging quest.

Others' motives be assumed,
Adverse dispositions doomed.
Blame, demands, uncaring halts,
Justified by end results....

Carrie Nation loathed saloons and whiskey,

And took some actions that were quite risky!

She chastised dudes who reeked of intoxication,

And used her hatchet to smash kegs of booze across the nation!

When you sound your battle cries
I will smile
When you match to my door with your pitchforks
Chanting, cursing, on your crusade of righteousness 
I will throw my door wide open still with a smile
It will be my armour and only defence
In the midst of all that you do
I will just smile...

With a,
Heigh Ho,
Heigh Ho,
Heigh Ho

In defense of nature we go

Like Night's on Crusade

But i fear we will need

More than seven dwarfs

Unless they are standing on the shoulder of giants

And holding Don Quixote lance

Because we are up against

Our mortal enemy

Hephaestus...

AUTUMN COLORS

Pristine serenity, branches now naked
Leaves like clothes shed of pure variety
Many a painter now clothes his canvas
With the patterns beholding shades majestic
All seem to be enchanted; mystic
Their crusade all the more musical

freedom is awareness
she is leaning on my
rusty mind
a new mode of perception
matrix is all around
you
our views are incomplete
and inaccurate
delusions and illusions
when you are too certain
in your believes
we are willing to kill
to defend our believes
what is a crusade
what is spelling...

Restless dreams unveil a token
Bestow the heart left torn and broken
Wake from the passion and devotion
Of virulent words as when spoken
Cast down the sword, end the crusade
Abscond the battle of memories made
Release the clench on beleaguered ways
Straight is the path, through the haze
To embark on the road beyond the maze...

Give me a Call

I am prettier than you
(in complete darkness) -smarter too
(when I give no tongue) -I’m an angel
(when heaven fails) a dancer, a singer,
a multilingual,  polyphenomenol, unsolvable
crusade of mystery, always and insistently
(when mixed with ethanol) but, best of all
I’m no one at all! 

Give me a call ;)...

Will of Tudela
Whose zeal burned for the white wolves 
Against Languedoc's black lambs 

Nameless soul of gold
Guided by heaven's muses
Pitied the southern pastures 


Poem inspired by The Song of the Albigensian Crusade, a medieval epic poem written by two authors who had contrasting views of the crusade (explored in this Sedoka poem)....

Welcome to my world 
Welcome to my dance
 Floor seldom them shall we 
Explorer you are welcome.. 

my Shadow Dancer 
Properly propose promenade 
expose escapades
 We pray Shangri-La
 Shangri-La in the darkness 
I Serenade welcome on to my dance floor 
midnight Crusade
