"bewail" poems
Night is but a word for the darkness that roams with men and the lands. The song of the winds sparkling with a woman's tears unshed. His blanket drapes her in the pitch of night. A cure basks within the lady's eye. Salt water. The tears, made salty by the churning sea. Cry the river dry. Bewail until all is nigh. The night is coming. The darkness foretold. Beware the madness with a daggers fine edge. Night may be just a word. But the wickedness is true within man's might. The sun will rise to cleanse the lands. Daylight breaks and the word changes. The faith of the worshipers dancing amongst the shining vivid rays. The danger has passed. Be still her fleeting heart. But be wary, dear maiden of mine. For the darkness of the night will soon befall again.

Rhyme, the rack of finest wits, That expresseth but by fits True conceit, Spoiling senses of their treasure, Cozening judgment with a measure, But false weight; Wresting words from their true calling, Propping verse for fear of falling To the ground; Jointing syllabes, drowning letters, Fast'ning vowels as with fetters They were bound! Soon as lazy thou wert known, All good poetry hence was flown, And art banish'd. For a thousand years together All Parnassus' green did wither, And wit vanish'd. Pegasus did fly away, At the wells no Muse did stay, But bewail'd So to see the fountain dry, And Apollo's music die, All light failed! Starveling rhymes did fill the stage; Not a poet in an age Worth crowning; Not a work deserving bays, Not a line deserving praise, Pallas frowning; Greek was free from rhyme's infection, Happy Greek by this protection Was not spoiled. Whilst the Latin, queen of tongues, Is not yet free from rhyme's wrongs, But rests foiled. Scarce the hill again doth flourish, Scarce the world a wit doth nourish To restore Phœbus to his crown again, And the Muses to their brain, As before. ****** languages that want Words and sweetness, and be scant Of true measure, Tyrant rhyme hath so abused, That they long since have refused Other cæsure. He that first invented thee, May his joints tormented be, Cramp'd forever. Still may syllabes jar with time, Still may reason war with rhyme, Resting never. May his sense when it would meet The cold tumor in his feet, Grow unsounder; And his title be long fool, That in rearing such a school Was the founder.

A Fit of Rhyme against Rhyme
Rhyme, the rack of finest wits, That expresseth but by fits True conceit, Spoiling senses of their treasure, Cozening judgment with a measure, But false weight; Wresting words from their true calling, Propping verse for fear of falling To the ground; Jointing syllabes, drowning letters, Fast'ning vowels as with fetters They were bound! Soon as lazy thou wert known, All good poetry hence was flown, And art banish'd. For a thousand years together All Parnassus' green did wither, And wit vanish'd.

You don’t have to wave your country’s flag; Nor do you have to boast and brag That yours is the best country on earth— Whether or not it’s the land of your birth— To be a patriot. There’s no need to brandish your weapons to show That you have your rights that you’ll never forgo; Nor do you have to copy the ones Who feel the need for an arsenal of guns To be a patriot. You don’t have to heed everything you are told, Fear seeking truths that your leaders withhold, Or forget that in your laws there’s a reason That public dissent’s not the same thing as treason To be a patriot. You don’t have to feel that the government is right To force young men and women to fight In wars that profit the War Machine-- And which you in your heart know are obscene-- To be a patriot. There’s no need to always bewail and prate On the separation of church and state Or let the troublemakers upset you By saying the government’s out to get you To prove you’re a patriot. But caring about the poor and the needy; Wanting to have, without being greedy; Feeling concern for the rights of ALL; And helping others up when they fall: That's being a patriot! - by Bob B

On Being a Patriot
Arise then...women of this day! Arise, all women who have hearts! Whether your baptism be of water or of tears! Say firmly: "We will not have questions answered by irrelevant agencies, Our husbands will not come to us, reeking with carnage, For caresses and applause. Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn All that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience. We, the women of one country, Will be too tender of those of another country To allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs." From the voice of a devastated Earth a voice goes up with Our own. It says: "Disarm! Disarm! The sword of ****** is not the balance of justice." Blood does not wipe our dishonor, Nor violence indicate possession. As men have often forsaken the plough and the anvil At the summons of war, Let women now leave all that may be left of home For a great and earnest day of counsel. Let them meet first, as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead. Let them solemnly take counsel with each other as to the means Whereby the great human family can live in peace... Each bearing after his own time the sacred impress, not of Caesar, But of God - In the name of womanhood and humanity, I earnestly ask That a general congress of women without limit of nationality, May be appointed and held at someplace deemed most convenient And the earliest period consistent with its objects, To promote the alliance of the different nationalities, The amicable settlement of international questions, The great and general interests of peace.

My dear old father, who always loved me the same; my dear old father I lament who died the day before yesterday, just before dawn. Jesus Christ, it is my daily effort to observe the precepts of Thy most holy church in all my acts, in all words, in all thoughts. And all those who renounce Thee I shun.-- But now I lament; I bewail, Christ, for my father although he was -- a horrible thing to say -- a priest at the accursed Serapeum.

Priest At The Serapeum
Sound the deep waters:-- Who shall sound that deep?-- Too short the plummet, And the watchmen sleep. Some dream of effort Up a toilsome steep; Some dream of pasture grounds For harmless sheep. White shapes flit to and fro From mast to mast; They feel the distant tempest That nears them fast: Great rocks are straight ahead, Great shoals not past; They shout to one another Upon the blast. O, soft the streams drop music Between the hills, And musical the birds' nests Beside those rills: The nests are types of home Love-hidden from ills, The nests are types of spirits Love-music fills. So dream the sleepers, Each man in his place; The lightning shows the smile Upon each face: The ship is driving, driving, It drives apace: And sleepers smile, and spirits Bewail their case. The lightning glares and reddens Across the skies; It seems but sunset To those sleeping eyes. When did the sun go down On such a wise? From such a sunset When shall day arise? "Wake," call the spirits: But to heedless ears; They have forgotten sorrows And hopes and fears; They have forgotten perils And smiles and tears; Their dream has held them long, Long years and years. "Wake," call the spirits again: But it would take A louder summons To bid them awake. Some dream of pleasure For another's sake; Some dream, forgetful Of a lifelong ache. One by one slowly, Ah, how sad and slow! Wailing and praying The spirits rise and go: Clear stainless spirits, White,--as white as snow; Pale spirits, wailing For an overthrow. One by one flitting, Like a mournful bird Whose song is tired at last For no mate heard. The loving voice is silent, The useless word; One by one flitting, Sick with hope deferred. Driving and driving, The ship drives amain: While swift from mast to mast Shapes flit again, Flit silent as the silence Where men lie slain; Their shadow cast upon the sails Is like a stain. No voice to call the sleepers, No hand to raise: They sleep to death in dreaming Of length of days. Vanity of vanities, The Preacher says: Vanity is the end Of all their ways.

If this vast azure emptiness can prove An aghast endless vacuum measure Take it for granted, research process sure It will fuel your thought resources, true. Mining specks and dots in deep space treasures Boundless designs shine assigning pleasures Unfurl within mind in gaseous beams Overflowing the banks of conscious streams Filling the utmost sanctum with soft skills Milling vacuum with colorful quills Calming the pulses with embracing lulls Warming all lives with fundamental pulls Creating a sense of duo, I and you Love and dislikes and points of view. Feeling satiety in charity Finding synergy in activity. Minting amity in society keeps you young aged muddling in daring dreams Deeply engage you cuddling realms supreme. So what? if this vast thought mine be blanked out Will the ghost mute vacuum follow suit? If sense aides guide a slow downward exit And mind bids the fairy lids to close it Will the sun bewail, bemoan and eclipse? Or will the same smile prevail on red-lips? If souls sunset in seamless sea of mind Will lights spill out; team up to stay behind? To form anew a fresh long microwave To indent a start with a soul suave A new spectrum to perceive the forces For the soul that constantly resources That differently formats transceiver courses The energy that cannot be destroyed But that which can be candidly portrayed On a vast emptiness fluidly stolid On a continuum vividly solid On a clean canvas without dimensions In a brave new world that cannot mention A name which is beyond comprehension A frame that doesn't fall on known convention.

I wake to touch the September morning chill The early dew glistens in the mornings hue; it softens the low mist that abounds A fox scurries away after his night of slaughter Whilst mushrooms make their early morning rounds, only to disappear before the dew dries As the day takes over from the dawn Crows proclaim their territory and squabble with the rooks The last murmurs of the morning chorus end its melodious run A field mouse hurries away and awaits to coming of the warming sun This September morn sends a shiver down my spine, its beauty personified by its stillness My breath, fogs the air like a puff of smoke that mingles with the early morning mist Only to lose its authority to the surrounding break of day haze Crunching sounds of each step echos on the frosty grass, leaving a first impression The only clue that I had walked this way before Soon many will follow to hide my trace, as in my life, my achievements are marred by those more worthy of recognition September morn I cry out to you: Be my inspiration, and warm me with your promise of the day ahead Too soon I will bewail your passing, to soon will Mother Nature cast her winter cloak But I know you will return once again to thrill me with your splendour I will awake once more to touch your morning chill

The Lady Mary Villiers lies Under this stone; with weeping eyes The parents that first gave her birth, And their sad friends, laid her in earth. If any of them, Reader, were Known unto thee, shed a tear; Or if thyself possess a gem As dear to thee, as this to them, Though a stranger to this place, Bewail in theirs thine own hard case: For thou perhaps at thy return May’st find thy Darling in an urn.

Epitaph On The Lady Mary Villiers
On that last night before we went From out the doors where I was bred, I dream'd a vision of the dead, Which left my after-morn content. Methought I dwelt within a hall, And maidens with me: distant hills From hidden summits fed with rills A river sliding by the wall. The hall with harp and carol rang. They sang of what is wise and good And graceful. In the centre stood A statue veil'd, to which they sang; And which, tho' veil'd, was known to me, The shape of him I loved, and love For ever: then flew in a dove And brought a summons from the sea: And when they learnt that I must go They wept and wail'd, but led the way To where a little shallop lay At anchor in the flood below; And on by many a level mead, And shadowing bluff that made the banks, We glided winding under ranks Of iris, and the golden reed; And still as vaster grew the shore And roll'd the floods in grander space, The maidens gather'd strength and grace And presence, lordlier than before; And I myself, who sat apart And watch'd them, wax'd in every limb; I felt the thews of Anakim, The pulses of a Titan's heart; As one would sing the death of war, And one would chant the history Of that great race, which is to be, And one the shaping of a star; Until the forward-creeping tides Began to foam, and we to draw From deep to deep, to where we saw A great ship lift her shining sides. The man we loved was there on deck, But thrice as large as man he bent To greet us. Up the side I went, And fell in silence on his neck: Whereat those maidens with one mind Bewail'd their lot; I did them wrong: 'We served thee here' they said, 'so long, And wilt thou leave us now behind?' So rapt I was, they could not win An answer from my lips, but he Replying, 'Enter likewise ye And go with us:' they enter'd in. And while the wind began to sweep A music out of sheet and shroud, We steer'd her toward a crimson cloud That landlike slept along the deep.

In Memoriam A. H. H. OBIIT MDCCCXXXIII: Part 103
On that last night before we went From out the doors where I was bred, I dream'd a vision of the dead, Which left my after-morn content.

In the centre stood A statue veil'd, to which they sang; And which, tho' veil'd, was known to me, The shape of him I loved, and love For ever: then flew in a dove And brought a summons from the sea: And when they learnt that I must go They wept and wail'd, but led the way To where a little shallop lay At anchor in the flood below; And on by many a level mead, And shadowing bluff that made the banks, We glided winding under ranks Of iris, and the golden reed; And still as vaster grew the shore And roll'd the floods in grander space, The maidens gather'd strength and grace And presence, lordlier than before; And I myself, who sat apart And watch'd them, wax'd in every limb; I felt the thews of Anakim, The pulses of a Titan's heart; As one would sing the death of war, And one would chant the history Of that great race, which is to be, And one the shaping of a star; Until the forward-creeping tides Began to foam, and we to draw From deep to deep, to where we saw A great ship lift her shining sides.

O’erwhelming sorrow now demands my song: From death the overwhelming sorrow sprung. What flowing tears? What hearts with grief opprest? What sighs on sighs heave the fond parent’s breast? The brother weeps, the hapless sisters join Th’ increasing woe, and swell the crystal brine; The poor, who once his gen’rous bounty fed, Droop, and bewail their benefactor dead. In death the friend, the kind companion lies, And in one death what various comfort dies! Th’ unhappy mother sees the sanguine rill Forget to flow, and nature’s wheels stand still, But see from earth his spirit far remov’d, And know no grief recals your best-belov’d: He, upon pinions swifter than the wind, Has left mortality’s sad scenes behind For joys to this terrestial state unknown, And glories richer than the monarch’s crown. Of virtue’s steady course the prize behold! What blissful wonders to his mind unfold! But of celestial joys I sing in vain: Attempt not, muse, the too advent’rous strain. No more in briny show’rs, ye friends around, Or bathe his clay, or waste them on the ground: Still do you weep, still wish for his return? How cruel thus to wish, and thus to mourn? No more for him the streams of sorrow pour, But haste to join him on the heav’nly shore, On harps of gold to tune immortal lays, And to your God immortal anthems raise.

To A Lady And Her Children, On The Death Of Her Son And Their Brother
There will come a day when you will no longer haunt me. Your words will no longer circulate in my head. I will no longer see your face in strangers on the street, And the sound of mothers calling their children by your name will no longer cut me adrift. Yes, There will come a day when I no longer bewail your loss. I will not miss you as I do now. Thoughts of you will no longer burn like the pain of a bee sting, and your absence will not ache like the phantom pain of an amputee. Soon enough, There will come a day when I meet a person, maybe in the coming months or maybe in a few years, whose presence will bring butterflies, as yours once did, and their words will lift me so high that I feel stars on my lashes. And, on that day, I will feel whole again.

Imitation Of Tibullus Cruel Cerinthus! does the fell disease Which racks my breast your fickle ***** please? Alas! I wish’d but to o’ercome the pain, That I might live for Love and you again; But, now, I scarcely shall bewail my fate: By Death alone I can avoid your hate.

Sulpicia Ad Cerinthum (Lib. Quart.)
PATSY’S POEM. (Composed while in Bloomington jail) While sitting in this silent chamber, And nothing else to do, I thought I would compose a song And write it, friends, for you. I am not much of a poet, Though I’ll do the best I can To try to keep my courage up And bear it like a man. I was born in Cincinnati And in Ohio State— Little did I think, my friends I would ever meet such a fate. I was brought up by honest parents, Who thought the world of me. And this is the first time I’ve been Deprived of liberty. It was on the fourth of August, in 1879, From house to house the news was spread That Aaron Goodfellow had been shot, And soon he would be dead. Suspicion pointed toward me; They rushed upon their prey, And I was forced to prison To await my trial day. They took me to the station-house; From there to the county jail, Where iron bars surrounded me, There my troubles to bewail. I never did the cruel deed— God knows I’m not to blame, Although I have been convicted And must suffer all the shame. A word to my old mother, And my sisters kind and true: Remember I’m innocent Though I must part from you. Any you my kind relations, I know you wish me well; But my feelings at this moment No human tongue can tell. Before I close this rhyme I’ll not forget to mention My good jailer, Mr. Franks. And now, my kind friends, ‘Tis all that I can do In sending this, my song, To bid you all adieu. Patsy Devine, in a Bloomington, Illinois jail, sometime between 1880 1882

I won the race,   tail me. I lost my balance, Don't right me. I won second place,   bewail me. I lost the toss, Don't kite me. I won the ribbon,   impale me. I lost my cool, Don't ice me. I won the job,   avail me. I lost the argument, Don't cite me. I won the bid,   assail me. I lost the battle, Don't fight me. I won the vote,   hail me. I lost the my way, Don't slight me. I won the lottery,   blackmail me. I lost some will, Tread lightly. I won the case,   bail me. I lost the cross, Don't indict me. I won the girl,   unvail me. I lost some teeth, "So bite me!"

Ecce Puer. Ecce **** Ecce Puer.
While sketching a lamp, it was seen that the current came on. The memoirs about darkness too got stuck then. Thus started to pray God is a father who gives ten if we ask for a hundred. Otherwise, would he trick me, by giving me sleep daily, instead of the death I pray for? The only consolation is the sky. Its reddened eyes, swollen eyelids, disturb. The previous day, I saw it fallen into and lying in the river. No, it wouldn’t have died. I can hear the birdsongs. Is the kingfisher a bird enchanted by the water-spirit? Or else, leave it, let it be a fish with wings. When I couldn’t bear the boredom anymore, I thought I would write a letter to death. As soon as I finished addressing, ‘O last supper of a loner,’ telephone rang. When I attended, it didn’t say anything. Earlier, it had given me a kiss. I don’t remember reading in any book on marriage that from the second kiss onwards, you start feeling bad breath. Forget all that. Suppose I bewail ‘die me, die me’, to the current? After all, it doesn’t know proper grammar or syntax. Is the news that the copywriter who wrote the advertisement for the glue which merges two lives Didn’t get his pay, in today’s papers? No, let the day get lighter It is a pity that there is no calling bell in the cemetery Father sleeps , having secured the mud door . O no, I am not making any noise O you who makes fun of me saying that I make a sign of the cross when I see a phone booth, Please do not sin. You will never find a purer confessional! I had wanted to make a good lay out for the suicide note, take lots of photocopies and entrust it to a friend to have it posted too. Otherwise, leave it, it is better to live than to die thus..

You want everything excellent from him Can't afford, understand how much he burnt Of his self the candle, the oil turned Low in the pail, the toil to see you can't. Not to fail to prevail hard he takes his tool Every time you try to derail his profile cool With loud laments upon the un-attained Without standing  a while in praise of what's gained. A soothing word of grace for the acts that comprise In fact parts of him too a human caprice. Some eternal fuel supply the sheen From an unknown source we believe Hide beyond the cosmos we live. For what he does is not his power But whose behind him under cover With patented rehearsal who hold The instincts in his dream could code And pull decode in no time with strings His acts are bound per whose wish he springs. But you demand him to excel and act your script well and bewail The one he couldn't afford the travail The same might be against whose will That he may over do the strain whose strings may not hold the sprain. But since your love is visible to him Surrenders he like a child in its prime But you want him to pay rent, a tenant For the love space you render and bill To see your live wish currents to fulfill Knowing or unknowing the fact a crime That his talent circuit may get defunct If he over loads to make you pleasant.

THE SHOCKING WISH CURRENTS
Chancing to look through an old file, I'd forgotten the pleasures of matching wits with an intelligent man who actually has working brain cells, not just these "primal urges" 99% of men own.  I'm sick and tired of all these monkeys.  Go tell some other woman she is ****  I wasn't dressing to please you, but me. (sonnet #MMMMMMDXIV) As blue skies, shadows 'non cavort from hence Beheath the watchful eye of, own a tale Of cloud battalions floating like to scale Upon that purest sea frame what? I thence Bewail Jean Yves and O! his wiser sense-- Lost on the wings of hours gone ere we'd hail More than keen matching wits when time'd avail Us, yes, a man with intellect's defense. "God's gift to women," ah, I laughed as twere Oer what he swore is merely truth, 'til who Shall now console me, eh?  Most men in poor 'Scuse are dull blockheads, never thinking, to A fault such beasts that only want to stir Yes, "primal urges" oh! what shall I do? 24Jul17a

Bewail
The lavender pie he swiped from the tables gave way to many creating tall fables they ran down the corridor, looking for more giggling and romping until they were sore running through the library and lush gardens proper leaving behind nothing but messes to topper he and his friends saw no end in sight until one of the staff gave them a terrible fright "you'll leave The Gem Hotel with nothing but haste before I send for the constable to come and lambaste" it seems peering eyes had thrown things awry when the dishwasher had seen him pilfer the pie they hid in a room, large and ornate so large in fact, they could not berate as the echoes of the mob could be heard from their gait their fates to be held by a simple-something they ate the friction was taught, so tight it could tear until one of them noticed a phone behind a chair "quickly, I have a plan" he said and rung the front desk ring "we bewail our actions, were nothing but pests" "meet us out front and we'll put this to rest" "How will we know this isn't a test to best?" "I'll be in the window with no other guests" clink So he stood in the 2nd story window with defiant disruption as the crowd who had gathered went into full bore eruption cheers and wails a mixed bag of admiration as rumors of the scamps had swirled from the situation his friends slipped outside as he looked up at the sky "All of this over a little purple pie?" jump

Lavender Pie
Shadows of agonies blunt and frozen in icy-memories Espousal’s the dusk not to bewail of sunflowers falling rather a celebration of blooming of water lilies upon the dawn of moon to kiss infinite stars on the sky. You may write it down in the history as some bohemian’s rhapsody. Oh oh! Thy fellow being It’s not just, just prosody It’s the Buddha Poornima Day of emancipation from all illusions Beacon of enlightenment Under the Bodhi tree When the young Siddhartha Was deeply moved After seeing the four passing sights It’s the concept of acquiescence to unfold the truth, to unwrap life of living a moment fully. Letting go is the divine flow Of the rivulet called life For go ego, jealousy, hatred and all sufferings Nurture and nourish the saplings and seeds Of love, peace and joy. Letting go means to be chivalry With time, nature and with all beings to flow with the flow simply like a serene brook in its own rhythm.

primal beat
(sonnet #MMMMMCCCLXXXV) Reft from this earth as Drummond wrote, and hence Where Missus Browning talked and oft'd bewail Her own sweet mother's absence, that detail Of their grief is mine in the keenest sense, With hours thet drag on tward their vain pretense I never realized ere. Nor have I bail 'Cept in the Word of God, to groan in pale Excuse where Mum can't hear nor solace thence. Yes, be strong. Say you're happy for lo, her. And I feel like a china doll, as who One rough push shall quite shatter, whiles in poor Attempts I run cuz we maunt stop, who knew This is not life, nor here. Christ is all. Were It what? I pray, but stumble over you. 12Jan16b

No Tears Suffice As Twere
Incessant rain Incessant rain Where have you been Yes,I did bewail For you left my dreams Parched and weary With a losing appetite Incessant rain Incessant rain Why did you lose sight? Yes, I did bewail For You left me thirsty with nowhere to quench. A Glory, Only you could bring. Incessant rain Incessant rain But now, I've learned from your wake I must learn to be still, Not whine or wail. I now contemplate my reasonings That  once seemed lame.

I've learned
...don'tcha know? (sonnet #MMMMMMMMMDCCXXIX) I prayed for hours; then made my plans t'avail Us of a party, that late crashed ere thence It got in full swing, where I'm struggling hence With facing yes, the loss of that detail, As if this mercy granted's poor? Bewail Sans aught recure as if twas mere pretense To ask for hours, or what? The cost of whence Is mair than I had bargained, in betrayl. Behold the fields in early Autumn fer A spell, and learn to be half thankful? Blue Skies melting in the romance of as twere Day's end, come, had we been lost watching through These hours the flicks I'd wanted I'd missed pure Sweet vistas that I cherish. I thank You. 10Sep25c
