Short Vanguard Poems

Eccentric but cool
A vanguard of modern jazz
Boldly blowing past bebop
Challenging the status quo
The magnetic Miles Davis...

Twist beneath the sky
Rush across the land in flight
Pushing through the silent night
Vanguard of the stars

Laugh at me in absurdity
Until you die you shall live in infamy
Death has shown me
Illicit things the world may never see
Chivalry never meant much for me
Ruminating over all I'd never be
Obviously dyeing to know what peers think
Until the day I die I will be an antagonist
Sweet vanguard never knew what I missed, what ludicrous....

The old red barn once stood proud
Against the storm, paying
Its own way with the Mail Pouch
Sign, brimming with hay
It staved winter's starving chill
A vanguard of stubborn will.
But now the storms have racked
The bones and flailed the bloody flesh
Torn away the shingles and
Raked across the giant yellow letters,
Letting in the cold and bitter air
Left the rubble for the vacant stare....

In the musical nostalgia of now,
  my soul takes a liking to
  vanguard of yore ... marvelous
  songs are reborn ... all coming
  From beyond...

   With poems, short poems,
   a lot of effort and some poetry,
   you become a rare poet ...

  The pen writes the words,
  the poet, the feelings ...

  In digital settings, my verses
  manuals are recycled, but not
  lose their sense ......

Oh death your sting will plea
rejoice cancerous vile flesh.
And scab bandages the angel's plea.
of bliss to rest from arrogant men.

Mode I do abhor the card
casting of my flesh moray.
Lipstick stains and gill vanguard
tears swift by tram alleyway.

My memories the broadsword
thing left to hold me to thane.
Womb called life resale abhorred
permeability train.
Headed in the quest of
finality....

Amidst summer’s day
Post middle school finale
In the concrete valley
A vanguard viking lay

We gathered as a ragtag crew
Peeled his corpse off the floor
Carrying him, despite the gore.
To the stream, as we knew what to do

Fashioning a mausoleum of straw
Hoping he felt no disdain,
His grave enveloped in flame
And gently floated away.

It was there I thought to myself,
“What is the meaning of it all?”

Winter has come
Allegro non molto plays out
And instantly, I am back to that day
Nebulous clouds of soft misty rain
Gently saturating my resolve
It has been a fortnight of misery
So I take pause as,
Adiago-Presto plays on
And the vanguard of my thoughts
Runs the amorphous path I have manufactured
Through the briar of thistle,
I struggle 
As Presto dissolves 
And another sun, sets...

Heavenly hysterics,
wholly unprecedented
in the lofty clouds of love
How did one slip off?
Was there someone who did shove?

Gather the Vanguard of Angels
for the rescue,
We've got no choice but to
save him before his soul
is led askew

Trumpets blaring,
Angels mounted on
angelic steed,
Race into the fray,
Bravely, yes indeed

Overwhelming demonic
defenses,
Returning with their prize,
If you could but see it,
The gleam in God's all
seeing eyes...

And anger 
Is a friend
That the oppressed
Must seize;
A purgative drug
To cleanse and preserve
The knowledge
And indignation
With which they affront
Agglutinated
The excesses of apartheid!

Come! Behold the scars
That those who angered
Seized- arms outstretched
Their spears flaming!

And you who dither
De-ice your souls
With flames of anger;
And un-reason
Will succumb
To reason!

Hail vanguard 
Of our freedom! Hail!

(Poem written for that dark era, happily, now past!)...

Errant clusters germinating tightly,
        I invite them in. 
        I welcome them.

Fighting infection is far from the possible.

        Didn’t you know that laughter is infectious?

Tiny colonies spread dis-ease,
         a ribbon of cellular folly along angry red flesh.

They flourish on the vanguard, quiet in the deep.
         Ebola, e-coli, erroneous children born and buried.

I rest with infection running rampant.

I live with the germs enclosed....

Man I've got to slow it all down take another route...
Walking past this blink dispel, time heart's dotage her
Brightest star amid the skies these, nocturnal nighttides ?
Johnny jump up his bluish purple rush hour russet's, diamond eyes
Denying their proteges defeatist provenance ? Where wicked was, a clinging 
Touch gyroscopes day of the dead piece, de resistance: falling at His feet weeping
She and phantasmagoria's end this summer; Lord, be love's harvest ? Aureole's vanguard....
