Queen of the Night
Shining in her regalia
Two love laced doves
Haloed by her light

Your appearance, beautiful gold in summer 
Your regalia, shimmering snow in winter 
You awakened Norea from her darkness 
Offer the moonlight...

For the love of the sword
For the beauty of the regalia
For the pride of the crown
For the tower of the noble

The cage be broken open; 
so the bird shall fly -- yet again
far up into the sky -- to the bliss named home
away from all shackles -- and memories of it!...

I’d rather
Let
Others
Lie to me
About how great
My poetry is
And to my fate
But I’m not sure
Why I can’t
Take it in
And make it mine
For in my mind
These poems
Just flow
Does it show
That I write so fast
Too fast 
To make
A poem
Lasting
In its regalia
Windy day
And sail ya
Blowing so hard
Now in my
Mind
I 
Fail...

THE power of my lost mind   binds my tongue

 between paper and pen   obliquely bleeding  

i leave it there.   

   esophageal  --> the blue (my) heart 

beneath sun setting pinks drowning squamously

and the gulls within their famous white regalia

   0--oh!~  the magical patois across the 

battered waves o'er the seas!

Deep into the sunflower,
Shirking away in facade.
Alas!
The It in the search for it,
But the constellations know better.
Soon draws in the daily winter;
When the flowers wilt and fall;
As it shivers off the travesties,
To settle up in serene,
Adorning its grey regalia,
Giving It the fickle find.
The moon plays hide and seek,
And the night is It....

Flavours surprise:
Cinnamon spice
Plus all things nice


Taste fond delight:
This lovely flight
In poignant sight


Sweet morsel bits:
Mild bitter wit
In cake that fits


Feisty feast flies:
Chocolate highs
With ganache sighs


Macadamia:
Walnut sepia
Taste regalia!


Here in quick haste:
No time to waste
Embrace good taste

Spirit aglow
A Jew is Nobility
A King in a Castle
From his merry beard
 To each ritual tassel

In Sabbath regalia
Blessing sparkling wine
Of learned Discourse enamored,
 In delicacies enshrined

His Wife by his side
Beaming Approbation
His Children tender shoots  
 Bright sprouts of Creation

No matter the locale
The era, the clime
The Jew is the Master
 Of Sabbath's unfettered Time...

High winds come soaring
On a chariot of ice
Blowing alabaster hails

Sun beams thaw star threads
Bringing back hidden colours
To pour into springs chalice

The soul of man has known too much ache.
the heavens spill salted mercy water,
but the regalia of misery shields his body
his glare too impaired to recognise release.

he frets in his hood,
he flees for shade,
scampers from fortune.
his err, his cross.

desires of a little ease,
that threatens tomorrow's lease
Nature's deceit,
A game oft played.

Yet he falls, he fails.
The soul of man,
how feeble, how weak....

The Red Dress Regalia

                Waning spirits sigh, the roaring ocean calls 
                Her playground, the coolest place ever
                Dressed in flamboyant ruffled regalia
                Fiery guitar scales in the background strum 
                Drumbeats from her hammering heals
                Scuff marks adorn the wooden boards
                that her father laid down for her floor...

she is felt still

a tongue tip
recalls her grave
it speaks tenderly

i had her crowned
yet such a royal regalia
did not suit
her innate modesty

she was a tireless waitress
who served up
treats and sugars
with a candied Mona Lisa smile

a love lost is not rootless
yet it must speak from a hollow filling
the heart of which
turns upon cavities of regret

decades later
i eat
these empty words

yet still enjoy them

We sow discord,
Yet we're thirsty of peace.
We chant war,
Yet our ears call for euphonia.

Racism infests our world;
Tribalism invades like malaria.
Although we have diverse languages,
With love there is no barrier.

We attack the weak,
And leave them with dysthymia.
We hunt strangers like Tiger,
And replace euphoria with dysphoria.

Oh children of Adam!
We are one family.
Do away with xenophobia,
And put on xenophilia like a regalia...

Stilled, hushed solitude is required  
To set my soul on fire
A natural setting desired
Before spring's beauty expires   

Woodsy terrain along the creek
Are where lovely azalea
Blossoms spread, and sunlight seek
Spring plants in their regalia

These soften my soul to the Spirit
Gray clouds become cobalt
Words revealed to my merit
I become worth my salt

Once I tried 
to embrace a cascade
A steep descent of a slim river

With a soft
regalia of steps
but she sprinkled scantily on me

But I was 
aroused, flushed and reddened.
Enjoying her warm and soft impact

Before she
became a cataract
with strong undercurrents and deep holes.

While weeding in my vegetable garden,
I took a needed break, from my hoeing.
I gazed along the creek over the glen,
a pride of tiger lilies opening.

It appeared to me an exposition,
a thousand deep, emerging on parade.
Row on row and column after column,
in full regalia, a marching brigade.

A brilliant orange with narrow spots of brown,
on each top hat, a yellow pollen crown.
Shoulder to shoulder in closed rank column,
marching, marching in ornamental plume....

NEVER
No one lives forever,
so never say never.
Today you might be,
deep in the gutter.
Tomorrow perched,
in the highest rafter.
That is 
the beauty of life.
Sometimes we win,
sometimes we lose.
We all came here,
as dependants.
Of our mothers` alms.
Deeds entrenched in,
 love for us.
We will go,
with nothing.
Except  regalia,
to bid earth.
A bitter sweet ,
farewell.
I am no sage,
but someone tells me.
No one lives forever,
so never say never.

AQUARIAN AQUARIUM

coral reefs ripple beneath
crystal clear cerulean
cinematic hues of cool
Caribbean 
blues

psychedelic underworld
swims and swirls serenely
a show room of shy seahorses
Surrealistic
muse

ringlet tails coiled regalia
resplendent heads held high
rocking to and fro below rare
Aquarium
views

gills in pink and lilac breathe
dark sharks lurk and scheme
in this tropical kaleidoscope 
of
Aquarian
pool
