I signed the contract in the parlor
A yellow bus trip to Valhalla
A brief aside
A final ride
But it was driven by kamala

From
atop
a mountain 
one views Bifrost
hoping, no, fighting for entry to the 
heavenly home of exalted Aesir
to find honor,
glory for

Virus now in decline
Vacations back on line
Vectis arms open wide
Vessels each hour to Ryde
Visitors so oft held
Valhalla they have dwelled
Valediction withheld


[Vectis: the old Roman name for The Isle
Of Wight, it is still in common use today.
Valediction: an act, gesture or words of farewell]

There are many fjords where the Viking ships came forth.
Those mighty warriors dominated the lands up north.
The fallen in battle would go to meet Odin in Valhalla.
For quite a long time, the Vikings ruled Scandinavia.
Four centuries before Columbus, they arrived in America.
There is a descendent from the Vikings named Harald today.
The great land he rules is known as Norway.

I have promised you everything in the world
But I cannot promise that this
Will be my last love letter to you.

I will write this sonnet
To you
Though you will never read it.

I'm sorry that our end
Came this way
We cannot change our fates.

I will say farewell to
Your memory by way of a
Viking funeral.

Our love will burn forever
Until it reaches the shores of Valhalla

Raven eyed the moon glowered
in an anthracite sky 
bleeding onto an India-ink stage
where Valkyrie’s pluck 
dead heroes to Valhalla. 

Wolf winds howl the ravished sight.
Rent storm with fang and claw.
Purge the all too monochrome plight
with the Bloody born.

Harken the twisted neck of owl
observer of raven eyed moon.
Mourn the passing of the faint of heart
for they've met their foreshadowed doom....

glorious and tall i stood...
you could lie and say i was king
and still tell the truth
i defeated Attila the Hun
and outwitted Alexander the great
upstaged Julius Caesar.
i crawled through the dunes of Arabia
and splattered them with bandit blood
i took the lives of many
that my people may be safe another day
i fought bravely for my country
and now, Valhalla awaits.





*i know the history is incorrect, but its figurative....

The Great Zagreus's servants are merely
 aroused and not Loved.
they chorest to oil him. To shave his 
body he must be clean and pure
in challenge to Hermes and Valhalla.
Only his lover can bare his children.
those who are merely aroused must
watch in the awe of his presence.
Might I stand an annouce his name
for a world to know him!
Even Sparticus bows before him.
Might he to be aroused!
The Great Zagreus shall stand before
you as champion!...

The thunder rang out…..
over….
the foothills, forests and fertile fields
like the battle cry of the Valkyrie’s.
Rain
	Fell
like the 
	pounding 
hoofs of their of their steeds.

Tree limbs 
Lay 
torn asunder 
by Thor’s lightning,
                   reaching 
longingly for the fabled halls of
		Valhalla…………………..
mimicking the brawny arms of the Nordic Hordes.

The only other sound….
	on the feral wind
		was Loki’s laughter
as the flames rose
	from the churches steeple....
