"allayed" poems
Who fears to own up to a mistake Much worse mistakes may go on to make; Until such time as fears are allayed Mistakes shall continue to be made. If mistakes all are afraid to name Then who is at fault, who is to blame?

Fear...
Webster was much possessed by death And saw the skull beneath the skin; And breastless creatures under ground Leaned backward with a lipless grin. Daffodil bulbs instead of ***** Stared from the sockets of the eyes! He knew that thought clings round dead limbs Tightening its lusts and luxuries. Donne, I suppose, was such another Who found no substitute for sense, To seize and clutch and penetrate; Expert beyond experience, He knew the anguish of the marrow The ague of the skeleton; No contact possible to flesh Allayed the fever of the bone. . . . . . Grishkin is nice: her Russian eye Is underlined for emphasis; Uncorseted, her friendly bust Gives promise of pneumatic bliss. The couched Brazilian jaguar Compels the scampering marmoset With subtle effluence of cat; Grishkin has a maisonette; The sleek Brazilian jaguar Does not in its arboreal gloom Distil so rank a feline smell As Grishkin in a drawing-room. And even the Abstract Entities Circumambulate her charm; But our lot crawls between dry ribs To keep our metaphysics warm.

Listen soldier to the tale of tendor nightingale Tis a charm that soon will ease your wounds so cruel, Singing medicine for your pain in a sympathetic strain with a jug, jug, jug of lemonade or gruel. Singing bandages and lint; salve and stearate without stint Singing plenty both of liniment and lotion. And your mixtures pushes about And the pills for you served out With alacrity and promptitute of motion Singing light and gentle hands, and a nurse who understands How to manage every sort of application. From a poultice to leach, whom you haven't got to teach, The way to make a poppy fomentation. Singing pillow for you smoothed; smart and anguish smoothed, By the rediness of feminine invention. Singing fever thirst allayed, and the bed you've tumbled made With a cheerful and considerate attention. Singing succour to the brave and a rescue from the grave, Hear the nightingale that's come to the crimea. Tis a nightingale as strong in her heart as in her song, To carry out so gallant an idea.

The Nightingale's song to the Sick Soldier
The briny tears have dried The sounding knells are stilled The grieving crowd, dispersed The parting pain, allayed Benumbed lie the dead Beneath the marble vaults Bereft of power and prowess Benighted and beaten. The sun shall never cast its glorious rays The stars shall never their brilliance shed The breeze never shall bring tidings new The showers shall no more drench them through A thoughtful friend sometimes seen around A fervent prayer at times chanted aloud A plaited wreath, rarely laid over A trite rite, randomly carried out There’s none left to mourn or weep Nor anyone to sing, sigh or sob Leaving the dead to rot in the closure of graves To life’s alluring charms, the dear depart. Cold as clay the dead lie so still To be feasted on by maggots and the worms Life with all its glory – defunct Its fever and fret too – extinct. How in vain we run after wealth The power and position we deem so great Shall come to naught within Time’s gloomy vault Yet we run and yet we straggle behind. In vain ends our travail for might Inglorious is our quest after fame Transient turn the riches, we garner Short lived is their gleam and glitter. Oh Lord! Lead us not into illusory charms Deliver us of our avarice to hoard For all that is born and made ‘Must consign to death and come to dust.’

Sweet love, renew thy force! Be it not said Thy edge should blunter be than appetite, Which but today by feeding is allayed, Tomorrow sharpened in his former might. So, love, be thou, although today thou fill Thy hungry eyes, even till they wink with fulness, Tomorrow see again, and do not **** The spirit of love with a perpetual dullness. Let this sad interim like the ocean be Which parts the shore where two contracted new Come daily to the banks, that, when they see Return of love, more blest may be the view; As call it winter, which being full of care Makes summer’s welcome thrice more wished, more rare.

Sonnet 056: Sweet Love, Renew Thy Force, Be It Not Said
Poets make lousy friends because  eventually they’ll  skewer you with their poison pen; their  insulting  writ of relentless invective and opprobrious apoplectic venom. The naked foist of un-allayed aggression as art-form whereby  the vitriol of familiarity slices like a knife and digs in like a dagger.  The very nature of chumminess turns adversarial.  Like  acid in the eyes the sneering contemptible retch could cobble out words with a disgustingly exquisite though execrable precision. A quirk, an idiosyncrasy, a malevolent adherence so committed to  unmitigated truth that it is as a fist to the face,  a shocking starkness of  incivility justified by a requisite expedience hastened by the anxious need to blow one  off forthwith.  He was a veritable torrent  of abject invectives.

The Cruel Poet
My love is like to ice, and I to fire How comes it then that this her cold so great Is not dissolved through my so hot desire, But harder grows the more I her entreat? Or how comes it that my exceeding heat Is not allayed by her heart-frozen cold, But that I burn much more in boiling sweat, And feel my flames augmented manifold? What miraculous thing may be told, That fire,which all things melts, Should harden ice, And ice,which is congealed with senseless cold, Should kindle fire by wonderful device? Such is the power of love in gentle mind, That it can alter all the courses of kind. ፍቅሬ እንደ በረዶ ነች ፍቅሬ እንደ በረዶ ነች እኔደሞ እንደሳት ታዲያ እንዴት ሆኖ ነው ዝምታዋ የበረታው በፍላጎቴ ግለት ያልቀለጠው ያልተረታው፣ ይልቅ በቀረብኳት በተማፀንኳት ቁጥር፣ በረዶ፣ በበረዶ ላይ ሚጋግር! ደሞስ እንዴት ይሆን የኔ ፍም እሳት በልቧ ቁር የማይጠፋ የማይዳፈን ጭራሽ ሙቅ ላቤ የሚንቆረቆር፣ የፍቅሬ ቋያ ሚበረታ እያደር? ታዲያ ከዚህ የላቀ ምን ታምር ሊነገር፣ ሁሉን አቅላጭ እሳት በረዶ ሲጋግር! በአንፃሩ ለመኮማተር የማይቸገር በረዶ ፣ሲሰትዋል ሳተ አንድዶ! እንግዲህ እንዲህ ነው ጉልበቱ የፍቅር የነገሮችን ኡደት አፋልሶ የሚቀይር!

angst of the edge
The sound of a flute the whistle of the wind an old-century bel canto more ambrosial than the allayed gale on the book a siccative for the soul beautiful and fibrous warmer than the divinity with a broken arm outdoor on the walkway the sound of flute the wording of beauty like being faced with the spring and the cliffs the first tone erodes the stones the second tone ****** the bones the thrid tone captured the thrills at the ends of the neurons like waking up on a divan in a morning.

Hey hey, I've changed I'm not the same No not the same I still talk too much About life and such Things But it was yesterday, no Oh no, no no My sister crying on the doorstep As I left Behind Those familiar times Familiar times And I watched, expressionless, As I left As I left So why do I feel this way? Have I no sympathy? No feelings, no tears, Over the years I refused to look back Feet set upon my tracks Feeling guilty and saddened In my frozen wasteland What does this mean? Where is my heart? Perhaps countless tears Tore it apart ripped wide open, left unspoken Over the years Reassurance allayed my fears I knew I'd come back again again Knew it wasn't the end No not the end, no But still Those tears, She shed, This hollow, I dread Like where did It end My emotion spent I'm so cold, so cold! So why do I feel this way? Have I no sympathy? No feelings, no tears, Over the years I refused to look back Feet set upon my tracks Feeling guilty and saddened In my frozen wasteland Frozen over, all snow and ice Hiding in the shadows, as dark as night Stars above this frozen wasteland Where my heart shattered and solitude began So thaw me out, be my fire Return my heart, for I require Those feelings I had, coz' I don't want to die So please, oh please, please bring me to life coz I don't wanna die coz I don't wanna die coz I don't wanna die coz I don't wanna die No not tonight! So why do I feel this way? why do I, feel this way Have I no sympathy? no sympathy No feelings, no tears, Over the years over the years I refused to look back Feet set upon my tracks Feeling guilty and saddened In my frozen wasteland With tears running down her face And a hollow chest I leave this place My frozen wasteland

A prosodic ode to WWW, an episodic paean
You are the Nightingale of Mayanmar A cruel magic fakir has caged you for fifteen years Your pathetic plights brings incessant tears Into my sore eyes Who can choke your sonorous song Which devil can hold you for long “heard melodies may be sweet But unheard melodies are sweeter Your soothing song has echoed into our ears We have heard it for many silent periods You have allayed our fears We will kiss your beautiful feathers You are an angelic bird And have won the heart of the world You can fly very high And soar into the free sky You are freed from the iron fenced cage Nobody can stop the people’s volcanic rage You are the eternal democratic spirit You will surely be crowned for your unfailing merit

THE NIGHTINGALE OF MAYANMAR
He travelled far and journeyed wide, To find those with a spark inside, Each one a sacred gift of love, A soul descended from above. He found her in a dark despair, Lost in a world with none to care, Her bright eyes drowning in her tears, This slave to weaker people's fears. He told her that she held a spark, A light to guide her through the dark, This power she'd hid for too long, The chorus to her siren's song. He took her hand and held it tight, To save her from the dark of night, Their bond beyond all love and lust, A sanctuary of hope and trust. He watched her dream in silent sleep, Her mind still gripped by pain so deep, A broken doll so incomplete. This fallen angel at his feet. He took her from the world she knew, Towards the dawn of life anew, Another land beyond the stars, To mend her wings and heal her scars. He helped her grow across the years, As slowly they allayed her fears, Until she spread her wings at last, And left her old life in the past.

Ashoka The one Without sorrow Devanampiya Piyadassi The beloved of the gods The beautiful one! So once had it happened Such a tale So great in amounts! There he came Like a wanton wind! To the mighty Kalinga After all It was his 'prestige' Oh sorry! His people's His kingdom's Prestige Just at stake Now it all began Wardrums heard Like the curses Falling from heaven 'Bherighosa' was the Order of the day! Swords struck People Kings Everyone In utter haywire To end in what? Yeah,just The digvijayi Ashoka Atop his Dreamland And a grave of dreams Hundred thousand Taken prisoners Hundred and fifty Thousand killed This is what Was left To fill his 'victorious' Eyes! Stood atop The Dhauli hill The crown of his new Acquired land But God had something Else in his hand There went These arrows Of such destruction Of crushed dreams Hollowed desires Of someone Whose soul Now had only The pyre of his holy Land To enjoy Such was this arrow Penetrating the Deepest corners Of the Great's Heart Something so fragile Though no one knew For all they'd seen Was a stone Without even a a drop Of a rare moisture Even a few! But this scene Had a profound Impact Just as if A stone of Conscience Came falling From unknown Empires And stirred A stagnant pond Took a vow Did he Instantly Gave up arms Shunned war And spread But only Peace Dhammaghosa Reigned Sound of peace Was heard Like the joyous songs Overflowing From heaven For a changed one For the Goodwill Of all those Who he now Had in his heart Allayed with A few drops Of just Something so precious After all Had he But gathered it In just a few moments O man! Prosperity and joy Are just awaiting To follow You Your footsteps Find it somewhere For it is Somewhere,somewhere So close to you! Find it!

All theses thoughts came to me Much later in history.* But now I must board another bus In North London, to find a true original and perhaps find a sterling pound of my own http://hellopoetry.com/cliffy-buglione/

Sometimes it can be difficult to avoid Playing fast and loose around the edges As if time were bearing on you Like the past you’ve tried to run from Or your impending sense of mortality As if time were just slipping away Maybe it is Maybe it isn’t Maybe it doesn’t matter either way So long as day to day you do what you are supposed to do Get that? Supposed… Not required nor coerced But just assumed as in a natural cause of inaction This lack of satisfaction in your circumstances Can easily be allayed By staying on your feet in front of your dismayed public Who hoped silently to see you stumble Lest your success cause them to lament their circumstances Just by proving it can be done Staying on your feet I mean And playing fast and loose around the edges

Edges
In Riverside Square, a vision in blue, A goddess descends, in morning's first hue. Her train flows like rivers, the steps cannot tame, Each fold tells a story, each whisper a name. Her thoughts are a secret, a dance in the air, Of a love that's awaited, a soul's matching pair. The world may keep turning, but for her, it waits, For the moment of meeting, the twist of the fates. She dreams of a man, with hair like the night, In visions so clear, she feels his light. Their souls entwined in time's tight grasp, Promises made, with each breath, they clasp. From futures unseen and pasts well-trod, Their paths have crossed, against all odd. In the heart of the city, where dreams take flight, She waits for Dublin, in the soft twilight. The Now is her canvas, the past her muse, In the dance of the cosmos, none can refuse. For love knows no bounds, no time, no space, In the Now, they'll meet, in a destined embrace. As dawn breaks the silence, and stars fade away, The goddess in blue finds the courage to say, "Though time may divide us, and distance may test, Our love is the journey, and hope is our quest." With hearts full of longing, they reach through the years, Their love is a beacon, transcending all fears. In a world ever-changing, one truth does remain: Love's promise eternal, again and again. Beneath the canvas of a starlit sky, Where dreams take wing, and spirits fly. A whisper of the wind, a promise made, In the quiet night, our fears allayed. The moon, a guardian, watches over, As we find solace in the cover, Of night's embrace, where hearts are free, To seek the truth, to simply be. In every star, a story's birth, A silent sonnet for our Earth. We gaze above, and in our sight, A universe of endless light. So here's to dreams, to love's sweet call, To finding peace, amidst it all. For in this world of vast expanse, We're given but a single chance. To live, to love, to laugh, to cry, To hold the moments as they fly. An original tale, in time's great sweep, A poem of life, for us to keep.

The symbols of arriving springtime have come late this year in north-west London. The blossom on the apple tree outside my bedroom, heralding the anticipation of renewal and the promise of life to come has been delayed by several weeks. And the flowering is less profuse than ever. I try to seek the metaphor; the concatenation of my personal survival conveyed by the tree’s own growth. But what does the linkage signify? Another year?  Another life?  Another death? Or none of these? And if I yearn for signs of immortality then I am doomed to morbidity, as the tree is programmed to portray a slow, inexorable but unmistakable decline. And still I know that morning light will daily draw me to my bedroom window and the forlorn desire to see some sign some hope, some promise, some assurance that there is no inevitability of change, save that it be change itself. Instead of which I am presented with a demoralising symbol of uncertain hopes. Spring should be an optimistic season; the blossom on the tree should herald a renewal, not a death. But this poor springtime growth has merely served to reinforce the fears and sadnesses of Winter’s  tribulationary concerns. ENVOI Five days the blossom stayed and then was gone. Nor were concerns allayed, but hopes were thus betrayed and possibilities undone.

VIVE LE POMMIER
A Remembrance, Of a Day, Quand Je Me Souviens. Vitality spent, Courage displayed,            Fear allayed,                dismay, at the lives                                        lost. There were scholars,                                 there were youth,                                                             there were the uncouth,                                                                                                    there were aged, but never mind all that,                                        as a matter of fact,                                                                      any one of them,                                                                                                 deserves my respect, For an eternity. On this Eve, I learned, my freedom, is not of my doing, I learned, I can choose, because they did lose,                                                                         their freedom, their lives, their dreams, I learned, what sacrifice, what SACRIFICE,                                                                      more than sufficed, to provide hope,                                                                                                              to cope, with wars and rumours of wars                   and rumours of wars, that breach my peace of mind                                                                              that I am blind                                                                                                      to the peace that passes all understanding, for I will never understand war, but I thankfully understand what was given away by choice,                               not to rejoice, in what I have received, but They are, the reasons, at least eighty six million four hundred thousand reasons, I do not huddle in my bed waiting for the bombs to stop falling, to start calling for my loved ones, I do not clench my teeth as I grip my rifle to call out "All Clear" until the next time I am gripped by the fear it may be me or someone I know, who will need to be let go. Thank Them, Catch Courage, Found Freedom, Love Life, Pray Peacefully There are more but these are the learned Lessons on this Eve. ©DWEfor11112013

Tears invited by recollection, Brush a silhouette upon cheeks. Moment's revisited introspection, Complexities of the heart do not always speak. Inner beauty’s overflowing can’t be allayed, Life’s bittersweet, ever potently displayed. PFL

Flow
Sun with its golden curls was peeping in Horizon to horizon, the orange shade deepened The red portico tiles glistened in the glow Like polka dots on satin Fair impressions lay scattered in the front yard The queen of night, had shed tears of sorrow Were they embarrassed? The orange blush was palpable I retrieve them As the flower decoration progressed on the red tiles A new identity was being evolved The existential crisis, has been allayed At least for this day.
