Oh, Moonlight Oh Moonlight while so many of us use your shine for light to guide us through the night and use your beauty to be amazed at as the clouds run pass you. Oh, Moonlight Oh Moonlight another sign of love and happiness as far be on imagination can take us and allow us to see and use our minds to think with. Oh, Moonlight Oh Moonlight that shines so bright that reflects in our eyes can you please show us more beauty that takes us on a journey that you have for us. Oh, Moonlight Oh Moonlight please don't fade away keep blessing the night skies with your beauty and attraction of shades of colors that take up the night sky that brights up with the stars so high to make a wish come true. Oh, Moonlight Oh Moonlight the form of you takes breaths away and brings smiles on faces that tell a story of their own. Oh, Moonlight Oh Moonlight, while so many of us use your shine for light to guide us, through the night and the young use your light as a night light being so cozy as they sleep the night away.

"Oh Moonlight Oh Moonlight"
Vengeance is for God to have, But today I lay religion down to rest The demon in my mind has been relentless, whispering at my behest He has been in his cage far too long, he is unyieldingly repressed I not only want to free him, I want to put his imagination to the test My mind's eye dark and searching, the corners of my sinister mind I have now become your worst fear and mine devils intertwined My mental and emotional state, has made the inhumanity refined I hate how you made me long for your pain, I am now your kind Your flesh is but a canvas and your screams will be to no avail You’re now mine, your soul will beg for mercy on the grandest scale I will assault your every sense, leaving no minute detail Until your body is lying lifeless, pointless, broken and frail I will take my time to revive you, bringing you back to my device There will be no amount of pain I inflict, that my heart will suffice Before I am done with your miserable existence, infliction so precise I will nourish every animalistic desire,until we felt you paid the price You have uprooted in my heart an evil, that cannot be undone The angel of death is upon you waiting, your suffering just begun There is a special place in hell for you and I want you to see it And if I burn with you for my revenge, then I say so be it Taking your pride, shoving it down your throat with my baron hands all that I can taste right now, what the voice in my head demands For you there is no more wasted life, your breath will let you endure And there is no second thought behind my vengeance, my hate is pure With deeds now done and lifeless you lay At my feet, which death did not show haste A smile without tears did appease my lust For your soul and blood that I did taste

Vengeance is Mine
Vengeance is for God to have, But today I lay religion down to rest The demon in my mind has been relentless, whispering at my behest He has been in his cage far too long, he is unyieldingly repressed I not only want to free him, I want to put his imagination to the test My mind's eye dark and searching, the corners of my sinister mind I have now become your worst fear and mine devils intertwined My mental and emotional state, has made the inhumanity refined I hate how you made me long for your pain, I am now your kind Your flesh is but a canvas and your screams will be to no avail You’re now mine, your soul will beg for mercy on the grandest scale I will assault your every sense, leaving no minute detail Until your body is lying lifeless, pointless, broken and frail I will take my time to revive you, bringing you back to my device There will be no amount of pain I inflict, that my heart will suffice Before I am done with your miserable existence, infliction so precise I will nourish every animalistic desire,until we felt you paid the price You have uprooted in my heart an evil, that cannot be undone The angel of death is upon you waiting, your suffering just begun There is a special place in hell for you and I want you to see it And if I burn with you for my revenge, then I say so be it Taking your pride, shoving it down your throat with my baron hands all that I can taste right now, what the voice in my head demands For you there is no more wasted life, your breath will let you endure And there is no second thought behind my vengeance, my hate is pure With deeds now done and lifeless you lay At my feet, which death did not show haste A smile without tears did appease my lust For your soul and blood that I did taste

Your time will come slowly, For now you must let the empty space taunt you. Your grass will grow slowly, For now you must plant the seed in the baron land below you. Your heart will beat slowly, For now you must tap the drum softly beside you. Your love will heal slowly, For now you must be patient and watch the tide take away the pain that troubles you. A patient man is a judicious wolf.

A patient man is a judicious wolf.
I was on the way to find out my destination, It was a rugged terrain without shed of trees on the road side, Burning Sun shine on the top of my head and Stony patches below my foot, On a junction of the two roads, You came out! With ….. “Generous green of forest in our face, Deepest blue of ocean in your eyes, Melodious wind of mountain valley on your hair and Splendid light of the don on your smile”, As if this new path after this junction going to lead me to the nature’s own womb. Conversely, when we face each other you asked ‘Who I am?’ and ‘where I am going to?’ I was surprised; no one poses such questions to me on this long walk, But I have already comes a crossed the Security man with gun in their hand, The Beggar with stony beggaring plate in their hand, The Food vendors with hot food in their basket, The Knowledge tycoon with bag of books on their shoulder, The Political guardian with embryonic power in their muscle, No one asked any thing! Not even look at me! Probably for them either ‘I was insignificant or invisible!’ But your questions, Compel me to think about my identity, I don’t have a search engine, to take help  from  the world wide web of identity, So, when observing you with sensors of Imagination, Emotion and Cognition, I found my lost identity in you, As your child everything rooted in you, Than I started to walk with you Just to get the aspiration of living planet and To protect you from the spite of ownerships, rationality, consumerism, and demonstrationist humanity. But after a while, Every one started to pose question, “Who I am?” “Why I am walking with you?” “How I get the right to do so?” Than I replied my scruples enlighten me to do so! No one understands ‘what I replied?’ Now the Political guardian of the society starts a campaign,   The knowledge baron prepared software for this operation, The beggar and food vendor distributing the literature with illustrative interpretation, That…..   “People like me are threat to the society”! “This is an evil force of our society”! Tomorrow….. The security man going to declare a ‘decree’ on Emotion, Conscience, Humanity and Love.  □□

I am reading poems by Billy Collins: AIMLESS LOVE, a retrospective, A sampler, as it were For the Books and Brew; Our monthly selection. Nine manly men Meeting for monthly meals And book-talk And politics And, of course, good beer. They like nonfiction, I like fiction. Richard Hughes, British writer of poems, short stories, novels and plays said: “All nonfiction can do is answer questions; It is fiction's business to ask them.” Still, my repertoire has expanded: Nike shoes. Civil War. Institutional racism. Opioid addiction. Rafting the Grand Canyon. Climbing mountains. With Baron Von Humboldt. And now this: Poetry. Nine manly men Reading poetry to each other While sharing a meal, One lovely poem after another. You can't read a book of poetry Like you consume other books, Fiction or nonfiction. The table of contents: The lid of a box of exquisite truffles— A map of pleasures contained within. You look at the map, And make a selection. The caramel truffle Is not the coffee truffle. You look at the map, Make a selection, And bite! The crusty chocolate cracks! The darkness melts, Floods your mouth with taste. Then the rush of caramel! Flavors, smells sloshing Swooning with sensate memories. What? Turn the page and read another? Reach for the coffee truffle? No. Linger with caramel; Luxuriate on aftertaste. Is that a note of citrus or salt? I will enjoy my coffee truffle tomorrow.

To captivate someone the way You do Is an art form many never learn to master. With eyes deeper than the Marianas trench Your being Just draws me like a moth to a flame. To make someone feel the way You make me feel Makes me wonder how many ages You've experienced. A soul so ablaze no person would know you and not be warm. The strength of nations upon nations To carry the weight of the world and You still grow. The confidence and grace that You move With, can't even be challenged by Aphrodite herself. With cheeks if crimson and eyes of ice Your joy Makes the rest of life seem baron. Leaving me wanting Craving Thirsty Starved And lucky To know a woman of your sheer Prowess.

Our once baron land nothing but blackened sand Tis now a place of beauty So come take my hand so we may stroll through our garden forever Along the crazy paving pathway We shall stroll through our garden togeather      Flowerbeds of Salvia Delphinium Coneflower Cosmos Alyssum daisies Aster Clavillia Hollyhock Poppies Just to name a few So come sit with me my love on our swingseat made for two

A Place Of Beauty
Time bleeds the force out of life Leaving baron bodies cold and hollow Every breath took is one breath gone The tide forcing us in The shore leaving behind Salt in the water is the salt in the hourglass Passing by never to be seen again Collecting, building castles on shores that will fall to the pressure of time Lost in the oceans growing older and colder Ice collecting, time slows and slows Frozen waters reflects bright lights Blinded looking ahead blinded looking back Nothing left but waiting the timeless wait Trapped, still, at the end of time forever

Fleeting away from shore
I am like a lone wolf who hastens across the tundra of Northern Hemispheres, with stealth. Our temperature has risen and the Chinook boldly reveals her austere formation across the vast expanse of alpine variation. I understand that your customs may be nomadic, as they roam across the treeless plains of baron socialisation. But will they lead you beyond the West coast of Ecuador? Therefore, always remember that layers of permanently frozen subsoils are designed for terrestrial corridors of arctic sojourns.

An Ancestor of Canis Lepophagus
I've bent my mouth up to my ear Believing in the stuff belief is made of Milk replaced by silky biers Losing my fingers to the Barren Baron Dove Hurts to admit I'm stealing away A curly knife held to my ear Simple, crimpled, waning days Throw unto the heart of the pier Lark and tumble Bark and fumble Still those tired eyes of dust I have found the beveled rhythm Among the pristine clouds of rust, Entropy's daily rhythm Wake away the roaring morning Rising heat in waxing dawn Spend the many days adorning The beating pulse of the fawn Stupefied, nullified Numb and in crumbs A stump to the vein A lump of sweetened pain

A Mirrored Spoon
Douro Valley wine Trip As far as you can see, Douro Valley for you and me, Terroir covered with colored terraces up the hill, Baron Forrester was made of God Will. Vines flourish in schist as in paradise, English friends here you can find. Treasures that nature give to us for free, Douro Valley for you and me. The trains and boats near the river for trade, Port wine is divine and so well made. Love for people with great hospitality, Douro Valley for you and me. The harvest time without an end, Douro valley loves you my friend. Lost horizon that you can see, Douro Valley for you and me. Warmest regards. Victor Marques

Douro Valley for you and me
Baron wastelands sound the trumpet in the midst of the ghetto, where sobriety gathers in connected ambivalence. Acknowledge the animism within naturopathic spirituality. I urge you to have explicit *********** with unfamiliar prostitutions, whilst political prowess ingests her toxicities in the guise of oratory genius. The expulsion of vanity is haunting in its reverence.

Conservative Vice
I am victim only to constant distractions, restrictions, prescriptions, vicarious factors, as various factions of elitism prescribe defeat to the common man; the hard working talented beaten upon by the self driven commerce land. Businessmen, crooks, warlords and bankers; victory purports itself the higher moral ground. ******* the world, lie on the crimson sand. The brevity of riches in led laden ditches, trenches v armistice; one man’s control over cadets and lieutenants. Equality it seems is general ignorance, propose roll reversal and receive corporal punishment. Capital interests will be met with bursaries, bail out the banks and return to your knees, put out your hands and beg for your feed. If the top three percent own more wealth than the lower half put together while politicians claim to be fair-weather, conclude that sincerities amiss, that your representatives are on the pay roll of profit driven lobbyists. Career crazed fat-cats couldn’t care less if you're in tattered garments or there’s a hole in your dress, their polished boots carry them from vault to vault while we fill another with oil-baron asphalt. As social repression pushes populations science progresses, enabling armed forces to kettle us, cut us off and circle on horses. Power-shifts across the globe become jaded by investment with private militias and fascist supremacists seizing resources from war torn villages to fund their crude sourced morality, migrants and refugee families are vilified by ignorance forged in cynicism caused by the inequality of education. Here lie the symptoms of infinite regression, hold mirror to gene-pool as it replicates the same flawed equation, as populations expire and conspire so does the problem. Bombing a country without repercussions, is as likely as a breaking the waters surface without sending ripples to the adjacent atoms. These are the dark ages of social stagnation.

The crone sits hunched in her little cell has played all her cards and cast every spell. She's baron and empty a dried up husk and no one can see her not even at dusk. She was a wise mans daughter now just a drudge and life's passing by her and that really hurts. A young girl loves her and takes her advice calls her mother and other things, nice. Her daughters father he twists the knife the crone who sits hunched he call's her wife. She call's him DEATH.

The Taste of Bitter Grapes November 1, 2012 The taste of bitter grapes is what they do to me. Do they ever wonder why people are so strange? Of course not, for they are usual as in their ordinary lives. I make a splash, and bring tidings of vitality. Only to flop like a fish, utterly uninterested, outside their tiny ponds. I chomp chomp on their hearts. Tug on their brains with my toll on their souls. But what's in it for me? They become another casualty, and then nothing more than my inventory. Maybe this hole was a birth defect. Something like a mole? I don't really want to know. To get on with my days, I just need it not to show. So, solid snow of this barren baron. Please excuse these hoes, and the rakes too. They didn't realize they were just a sideshow. The main attraction is to never possess any true attraction and see how these things go. Until I finally find my first true delight. This is my plight.   I take another bite. Of these bitter grapes.

MULTI PROLOGUE TO LOVE SERIES (9/9): __________ The Taste of Bitter Grapes
'Tis heartbreaking to see you marvel so at children's play. Do you not remember that you were once a child? Have you lost the sweet ring-a-ding-dings of fairytale teachings? Each day you fall further into The Man And away from Peter Pan, Sara Crewe, Alice, and The Great Baron Munchausen himself. I have not forgotten the road to where they go. Begin where you are, Sitting mundane, in your realm of logic and laws, tasteless office cubicle. Now close your eyes and count to ten! One Mississippi, two Mississippi... When your eyes creak open you'll have to think fast! You've no weapon against that smelly pirate with his dagger to your throat! Give a good kick and a hard shove and you'll see the blade has changed hands, AVAST! One good ****** and you slice through his thieving guts like butter! Abandon ship! And SPLASH! into a garden surrounded by stone. All you've to do is turn your head to see the peonies, the morning glories, the honeysuckle dripping in dew. Now straighten up and grab hold of your bearings; that's it! What was that?! It blew by you, fast as lightning and just as bright. A fairy! It must have been! You run off after it but your foot catches a mangled root and you SLAM! Face first into...WHAT IS THAT?! Bones?! Now scramble to your feet and dash to the opening of the damp cave, Round the corner and AH! crash into a giant gray ogre! GRRAAAGGHGHH! Quick! Pick up that femur at your feet and pitch it into his eye! Ha! You big brute! Duck between his great tree trunk legs and RRRRRIIIINNNNGGGG! There goes the office phone. But you're still out of breath and desperate for more. Silly, don't you know? It's not something I can teach you. You just have to REMEMBER.

If I were a painter I would craft a goddess, hung Immortal to some museum or midst the the dusty collection of some baron With body, flawless Form, divine And all of her admirers Turning the muses flanking Apollo, jealous But the real fire, the life giving spark Would flare mad passion in her eyes And the thundering, A call; Theodora, freed from the patriarchy of old Byzantium A bearer of the old magic, ghosts dancing from another time Her beauty would be harmonious To the glittering brown-gold of honeydew And bursting, Like a symphony loud and tremulous All the true aesthetes, trembling That a painter got to meet a woman so To set his heart afire And if I had been born a sculptor If I had been given the power to shape My crowning achievement The great anthem of my time, spent Would be a face; A chin, gently tilted skyward The eyes, sparkling with that unknown sea Hair disheveled, parted, smoothing the cheeks and the glimmer of lips, Softly pursed; But the eyes, the doorways to that tidal force All of the dreams All of the feelings, trapped and rolling, the ocean beneath Would burst forth; A thousand church candles, Or a gathering of street lights. If I were a sculptor my greatest achievement would be cast in Lady's Dream Not for the skin, but for the glittering eyes Or if I were a composer Working on my symphony I would have the brasses buzzing, and the strings A chorus of thought And the melody would be defined not by the loudness But the silences The gaps of deep thought, juxtaposed Amongst the roaring The soft gasps of tide being pulled back to sea and all of the sweet undulations, the rivers of a mind If I were a composer the audience would get a glimpse, The briefest moment, Of the beauty Of quiet The deepness Of thought But I am merely a poet, A poor shaper of words Strung out on hope, Gambling on luck, Trapped, eternally, to the brightness of the sun And lost to those whirlwind emotions that govern men so And for a moment, smiling, I got to know the wildness in another poet's eyes The softness of her smile, And if I could spell love in her heart I would But I am merely a poet, A poor shaper of words And with these powers I can merely say this: When I say beauty and the thoughts fall loosely on the page, hopefully bringing forth a smile When I say beauty, When I say beauty What I mean: You.

On Beauty, What I meant by Beautiful

The peace of this small neighbourhood, is shattered as the door caves in As masked marauders seek with guns, the criminals that hide within But they find no deadly drug baron, Nor killer, or ****** animal But a grey-haired lady, small and frail, in terror as she beholds them all At gunpoint then her hands are tied, and her walking stick cast to the floor As she is marched by mighty men, to the waiting van outside her door Her heart skips wildly and her breath is tight, as she is bundled roughly inside Her dignity and rights of law, are swept away and cruelly denied And across the town there sits a girl, with kindly, smiling joyful eyes A teen who spends her youthful zest, bringing hope and joy to other lives But little does she know this day, that her future days are to dwell Not in delight and dancing halls, but in a dark and lonely prison cell And elsewhere stands a local hero, a man so honoured by decree Acclaimed by peers and politicians, as a citizen of kindly deeds Yet on this day, he is torn away, from his family who are left in tears As this father and devoted husband, is imprisoned now for seven years Who are these ones snatched by the state, and treated so unjustly Held without cause or consideration, and despised so bitterly? They obey all laws and pay their dues, and love their neighbours when they can And share a hope of a future bright, even though their hope is banned They are young and old, black and white, and gathered from diversity They wage no wars, won't steal or lie, but treat all people with dignity For their crime is not of violence, nor abuse, or fraud or robbery But of being Christians and trying to show, Christ-like love to you and me And what of those who terrorize them, the land where this grim drama is set That mighty nation, so paranoid, that it considers them a threat This pretender to the throne, bedecked in red and white and blue Is a jealous king who hates the ones, who, to Christ their King are ever true But as they languish in prison cells, awaiting justice from the King The one whose commandments they obey, is smiling down and proud of them For their hope is not in men of law, nor international decree But their just and loving King, Christ Jesus, and in God- Jehovah's sovereignty Dedicated to Jehovah's Witnesses imprisoned in Russia

fighter pilot rat
Silent on the surface, deep ocean currents twist and travel without company. Quiet sands wash baron dunes. Pure white powder melts without menace. Empty canyons grow deeper with each rain drop’s echo on the walls. Continents drift together without clocks. Mountains clash and thunder toward the starry sky. Volcanoes burst. Fossils decay, lost in oblivion whispering

When it's done
Fine wine, your line of perfection, profile absorbed Within the printed page, taking you away I want to say “Stop and listen”, the minutes ticking away To nothingness, we won’t replace, they are lost Fine wine, spilled onto the page, blood red; it disgorges Its ruby glow, seeping into page after page You leap to save the page, now wet and unreadable Looking annoyed in the process, what a pity Fine wine, these minutes are ones to remember with irritation Cursing the red stain instead of the intrusion as welcome to The monotony of the dirge, Groundhog Day of stale breath A profound chapter not worth reading; close the book on it all!! Fine wine, legacy of a long held sameness, dawdling the Hedgerows, cutting the quality of what could be into what isn’t And so on and so forth, dragging feet and knuckles; skin Peeling its life away scuffed and failing, our souls drowned Fine wine, secretly savage, blood red, vibrant and exotic Or bored, buried in the sand dunes, beige and baron, your bottle of plonk Oasis a mirage, a delirium to reality, a pretence to soften the blow Life or existence with a hint of amaretto warmth to keep afloat

The page - of fine wine
The North calls her. Siren song echoing across baron fen. Pulls at the tartan, Begs her home again. That Highland jig, She remembers with a whistle, Longs her to return, To the land of the thistle.
