spring omnipotent goddess thou dost inveigle into crossing sidewalks the unwary june-bug and the frivolous angleworm thou dost persuade to serenade his lady the musical tom-cat,thou stuffest the parks with overgrown pimply cavaliers and gumchewing giggly girls and not content Spring, with this thou hangest canary-birds in parlor windows spring slattern of seasons you have ***** legs and a muddy petticoat,drowsy is your mouth your eyes are sticky with dreams and you have a sloppy body from being brought to bed of crocuses When you sing in your whiskey voice the grass rises on the head of the earth and all the trees are put on edge spring, of the jostle of thy ******* and the slobber of your thighs i am so very glad that the soul inside me Hollers for thou comest and your hands are the snow and thy fingers are the rain, and i hear the screech of dissonant flowers,and most of all i hear your stepping freakish feet feet incorrigible ragging the world,

Spring Omnipotent Goddess Thou Dost
A shout out to LeBron For a big night in Akron A welcome win for the Cavaliers Tonight against the TimberWolves. Cavs finally ended the drought Via the energy they brought. Coach Tyronn Lue drew up a game plan That finally brought a win to the land. Both teams put up a spectacular show Leaving the erratic Cavs fans like wow! The combined 3s of forty was historic, Shot by both teams was really fantastic! Tonight LeBron played like a real GOAT! Playing great basketball from all over the court! The big block on Butler is not what this is about, But the clutched game winner fadeaway he shot! IBPoetry 2/8/2018

LeBron's Iconic Fade away
A dozen fellows draped in threadbare tread densely, Profligating goons in obsidian gowns gathered under rainbow moonshine shaking bronze hands, howling and ******   in the shambles of the moon,   rap'n and nod'n to the notes of midnight. The mellow marines mourned over malice, lionizing over lost ones, many howled venerated, exalted in wonder in  favor of their thrilling grace, and delight, and brilliance, and might! but some neighboring sticklers,     behaved haughty and in disdain,   of the crowdy Cavaliers bellowing echoes signaling out                  to the seers of the sea, singing to the wands overwatching the wedding, and ravens listened,    roving like noble patrolsmen. Traveleres and trainees at sea    humble and bright niave, and frieghtened in traverse,            volatile and toiling,            tireless, Lunatics, (laughing, laughing, laughhing,) Rumaging through rain, fireciely, rallying and rableroused, through towering halls of mohogony,      hefty and wholesome were their hearts though, beast of the woodsy edifice were foul and benumb scowling with contempt, haste to devide and devised to hindrance. Hence the heroes heed    to the valleys of rose, and violet, and strawberry fields of forever,  seeking Saint Nicholas, in the bustling Byzantium,       in the murky shadows of doubt.

A Dozen Cavaliers At Sea
In our hammock We couldn’t be touched Because we were untouched Untouched by the ground workings and up From concrete cavaliers and spiral shaped spears That aimed to wind and rope around the throats of what was already constricted Instead, pricked by the roots and bark of a growing seed And wrapped wholly in the warmth of the moon-lit face of a space so close, touched only by shoulders And felt across lengths until the sky burst open and touched, Our hammock

hammock
Hanging her head into depths of an oubliette, the toilet bowl grieves inside muddied ruin. An early avocado and piles of bile simmer inside porcelain wastelands. Her face, a dark fillet, fat like a flea questing on skin. Fingers joust her drawbridge mouth. Cavaliers cannot rescue. Tiny talons scratch the back of her throat, distant organs heaving during the battle of the bulge. Nothing tastes as good as thin feels. She tastes it twice. Flecks of spit singe cheeks like undersink chemicals. Her imperial belly wails, a damsel distressed.

But No Decals.
They came by the Inn that morning, A troop of Cavaliers, With their swords and buckles shining, And ringlets round their ears, They called to the simple stable boy To attend without delay, To feed and water their horses, The King would be there today. They kicked the Inn door open With boots that came to the knee, Demanded an instant pottage For the troop of twenty three, ‘So get your wife to the kitchen, Your daughter up to the bar, By serving us you will serve your King,’ They said to the Inn-Keeper. They crowded into the tap room, Where Molly was serving ale, Made rude and haughty gestures ‘Til the girl had turned quite pale, Their empty steins were flung at the hearth And shattered, over the stair, The Inn to them was beneath contempt With its simple peasant fare. The wife served up a ploughman’s lunch Of wheaten bread and cheese, They snatched and curled their lips at it And not one mentioned ‘Please!’ They tore an edict of Parliament That was hanging over the bar, And held it over a candle ‘til The ash was spread on the floor. ‘We have us an act of treason here,’ The Captain said to his men, ‘What shall we do with an Inn-Keeper Who favours Parliament?’ They dragged him out to the stable yard And hung him high on a tree, Dragged the wife and the daughter out As he died, so they could see. ‘God rot you each and every one,’ The wife screamed out in pain, ‘I curse your colours and curse a King That could be so cruel - For shame!’ They held the daughter and dragged the wife Out of sight, in alarm, Despatched her with a rusty pike And then set fire to the barn. The soldiers started to fall about, Were throwing up, and pale, While Molly shrieked, ‘How did you like My Belladonna Ale?’ They still were there when a troop rode up Of Cromwell’s Ironsides, Who slaughtered the King’s own troop that day As the daughter sat, and cried.

I wish that we’d never found it now, I wish that we’d stayed away, Avoided the twisted mansion that Was fashioned in Cromwell’s day, But we were just a couple of lads Out there, and having fun, We wouldn’t have thought to change the world, Nor hurt just anyone. The place sat deep in a bluebell wood Surrounded by a marsh, I said, ‘Should we?’ and he said we should, My friend was a little harsh, We waded up to our knees out there Until we reached the porch, The rooms within were as dark as sin Till Joe took out his torch. The house had once been a splendid place Though the floors were deep in mud, Of fetes and ***** there was still a trace Then the fields submerged in flood, The house sank on its foundations then No doubt, to cries and tears, Its noble crew had deserted it For all of two hundred years. I raced my friend to the stairway that Led up from the central hall, Half of the rail had fallen away, Was resting against the wall, When up above in a tiny room Stood a bureau, finely made, Inlaid with delicate parquetry That lay concealed in the shade. But over the lintel of the door Was the carving of a man, His wings spread wide, with the sharpest claw, He was from some evil clan, His teeth protruded over his lip And his eyes were fierce and black, I caught at Joe and he almost tripped But he shrugged, and turned his back. And on the dust of the bureau lay A long, fine feather quill, I knew I shouldn’t disturb it there But I thought, ‘I can, I will!’ And beside the quill was a manuscript In an old and faded hand, Calling for the death of a king That I couldn’t understand. I knew, I’d read in my history books That a cruel, evil one, A man called Oliver Cromwell had Caused pain for everyone, He’d raised a citizens’ army and Had thought to **** the king, But fell to the King’s Own Cavaliers, Was beheaded in the spring. I knew this, yet I still signed my name With that awesome feather quill, It seemed to have me so hypnotised That I quite had lost my will, So then when a roll of thunder shook The house right through to the floor, The man in black that was carved, alack, Came bursting in through the door. He snatched at the parchment manuscript And let out a howl of glee, Then screamed, ‘I’ve waited forever just To play with your history.’ I know that you think the civil war Took the head of a rightful King, But how could I know the power of a quill That could upturn everything?

The wrapes of Grath adorn the path that slammer klingks had tread when turning spades in everglades to flosticate the dead. Along the way the snorbels bay at freebled sprutelned that boogeymen had once again uphove above the shed. The buildings tall that housed the krawl are pictured carved in stone and all that’s left is now bereft of wrapes that might atone for scabs that feed our wrinkled breed, distraught and lying prone. Yes, flonk replaces merpeled traces deep inside, alone. There’s no retreat from incomplete, so durbies never dared, but streaped instead beneath their bed with franjent fangs unbeared; they knew the past could never last although the trumpets blared, for doogies, stripped, were ill equipped, no longer bald or haired. Like cavaliers with gougejent spears, well triggered for a tiff, slank vankulures with silver spurs embussed for grimp and griff (no question why, for “we can’t die”, the oft regleated riff); with little fuss the blunder bus krunged glimpfly off the cliff and fetid breet of grim defeat gave Grath its final whiff; the catapult had one result, all life lay lazelled stiff. The plastic waves that washed the graves, now homeland for the rutch, though faring worse when quenching thirst with warples in the hutch were nonetheless, as frunks confess, so pleasant to the touch exturbing sinks that watered wynx and onetime life as such. Like burning blotters slurping waters, skindles sipped their fill from koozing cracks between the tracks inhumed beneath the hill, then spawned the spores of Grathic wars that profit from the **** their victory tales, like crimson crails, reside in dung and dill. Those scrilly clouds that cowed the crowds neath radiation snapes left little less than watercress beneath their coffin’s drapes; yes, those unborn cannot adorn the pallor of the prapes so scrundlemun tinge bibberun, we ones who reap the wrapes. Yes, now-abandoned hetzelspan were once in time embroiled with merikained that firps extained until the weather roiled. What more, perchance, can happenstance inflict upon the koiled when pendlesnips are in eclipse and wrapes of Grath are soiled?

3121 CE - The Wrapes of Grath
The wrapes of Grath adorn the path that slammer klingks had tread when turning spades in everglades to flosticate the dead. Along the way the snorbels bay at freebled sprutelned that boogeymen had once again uphove above the shed. The buildings tall that housed the krawl are pictured carved in stone and all that’s left is now bereft of wrapes that might atone for scabs that feed our wrinkled breed, distraught and lying prone.

This one's for the rebels and outcasts, The Kubricks and Kerouacs. This one's for the lovers, And the poets undercover. We'll run, run away To a brand new day, With no rules to obey, Far from all those shades of grey. So come dear, Abandon all your fear, Our future will be so clear, When we live as cavaliers. We'll lead a mutiny, Until we're living free, Away from all the scrutiny, We'll run dear, just you and me. So come dear, Abandon all your fear, Our future will be so clear, When we live as cavaliers. So all hail the outlaws, Come on and join their cause. All hail the cavaliers, Living free as fear.

no matter what the words remain the same echoing blandly down the aching years our beast once wild has now turned safely tame your voice is one that could with depth proclaim ending to hurt and to the weight of fears no matter what the words remain the same as when we started infants in the game certain that we'd be the new cavaliers our beast once wild has now turned safely tame and we have come despite the threat of shame to know the meaning of so many tears no matter what the words remain the same still they are uttered out of need for blame while horror is doled out in lavish shares our beast once wild has not turned safely tame and cowers uncertain of the fading flame as each who waits at last wails and despairs no matter what the words remain the same our beast once wild has now turned safely tame

empirical wisdom
It is always a pleasure to engage with the rich tapestry of life, even though the prognosis may be utterly questionable. Are you able to articulate that in which you believe? Whenever we examine the contours of this forbidden rush of ghetto adrenaline, the texture of sound flows like an estuary of hypnotic rhythm amidst our myriad of assumed identities. Deoxyribonucleic acid is tasty, but only whenever it is spread on burnt toast, don’t you think? Cast your mind to those dreamy recollections of the dual carriageway, where hip-hop bass resonates with eternal unravelling and the launch of a new vessel is applauded as it ventures across geographical ponds of progress.

A Chamber of Cavaliers
MOTECUHZOMA There is a third chance-medley you omit: The several forking paths of fortune’s walks. Seeing a panther lurking on my left, Would you not show your lord the right-hand path? When looking back, we do not note that fork, Yet fate allows some swing for the intrepid. SORCERER 2 To cure these feline fears, don’t run From either, or your jaunt is done. But left and right will both hold good, If you’re the panther in the wood. SORCERER 1 Ah, brother, who are we to armor Arguments against this charmer? What use, to change into a cat As we can? He can diplomat His way through spells, and alchemize Pure, golden truths from steely lies. SORCERER 2 From impotence to abstinence, Humility from arrogance, Plunder into philanthropy, And sadism to justice. SORCERER 3 See? No bird bones nor no wands are heeded, Only no character is needed. ALL SORCERERS All hail the high and mighty mage, The gazing stock of this flat age! MOTECUHZOMA Cart off to jail these jaunting cavaliers! Let them chirp out their pert remarks through bridles, And fix their flippant eyes on cold stone floors. Sans voice, sans books, sans tricky hands, we’ll see What muffled incantations might avail. Guards exit with the Sorcerers. PRIEST OF TLALOC These were but three. More might more prophets know. TLACAELEL Well, these ones missed the mark. MOTECUHZOMA I fear not so. All exit.

You're my Angel in Disguise Yet you also serve as my Downfall I thought you're my knight in shining armour in this world full of evil cavaliers You let me fell in your trap A trap that makes my heart beat faster A trap that makes me in prison without bail, and I thought your different But you just prove that Chivalry is Dead.

Chivalry is Dead - FMRT -
Imagine you're part of a really good drum corps like Carolina Crown or Blue Devils. You're female so you can't be part of the cavaliers and you're sad. Every time you go to a competition you always make eye contact and smile at the cavaliers drum major. He does the same back. The season goes on and you don't talk till after finals. The after party of finals. "We have never actually talked but my name is ( insert name). You probably know that because they announce it every show. They don't announce every (section you're in) member. So what's your name?" He says. "(Your name). It's nice to meet you." You say with a smile. You end up talking the whole night and you get his number. It ends up both of you are aged out. You both end up working with the cavaliers the next season. Less than half way through the season you're dating. You both find out there is two openings at a school near where you both love. You both get the jobs. A few years later ( like 2) you both are still working with the cavaliers and the high school. At DCI finals at the end of the cavilers show, he proposes to you and you say yes. A few months later you announce it to your high school band you work with. A few months after that you have your wedding and all your marching band friends are there. You end up having your first child 9 months after your wedding ( you two are frisky). You both continue working with the cavaliers and high school band and you continue to have little drum corps babies. The end

I. Ô soldats de l'an deux ! ô guerres ! épopées ! Contre les rois tirant ensemble leurs épées, Prussiens, autrichiens, Contre toutes les Tyrs et toutes les Sodomes, Contre le czar du nord, contre ce chasseur d'hommes Suivi de tous ses chiens, Contre toute l'Europe avec ses capitaines, Avec ses fantassins couvrant au **** les plaines, Avec ses cavaliers, Tout entière debout comme une hydre vivante, Ils chantaient, ils allaient, l'âme sans épouvante Et les pieds sans souliers ! Au levant, au couchant, partout, au sud, au pôle, Avec de vieux fusils sonnant sur leur épaule, Passant torrents et monts, Sans repos, sans sommeil, coudes percés, sans vivres, Ils allaient, fiers, joyeux, et soufflant dans des cuivres Ainsi que des démons ! La Liberté sublime emplissait leurs pensées. Flottes prises d'assaut, frontières effacées Sous leur pas souverain, Ô France, tous les jours, c'était quelque prodige, Chocs, rencontres, combats ; et Joubert sur l'Adige, Et Marceau sur le Rhin ! On battait l'avant-garde, on culbutait le centre ; Dans la pluie et la neige et de l'eau jusqu'au ventre, On allait ! en avant ! Et l'un offrait la paix, et l'autre ouvrait ses portes, Et les trônes, roulant comme des feuilles mortes, Se dispersaient au vent ! Oh ! que vous étiez grands au milieu des mêlées, Soldats ! L'œil plein d'éclairs, faces échevelées Dans le noir tourbillon, Ils rayonnaient, debout, ardents, dressant la tête Et comme les lions aspirent la tempête Quand souffle l'aquilon, Eux, dans l'emportement de leurs luttes épiques, Ivres, ils savouraient tous les bruits héroïques, Le fer heurtant le fer, La Marseillaise ailée et volant dans les balles, Les tambours, les obus, les bombes, les cymbales, Et ton rire, ô Kléber ! La Révolution leur criait : - Volontaires, Mourez pour délivrer tous les peuples vos frères ! - Contents, ils disaient oui. - Allez, mes vieux soldats, mes généraux imberbes ! - Et l'on voyait marcher ces va-nu-pieds superbes Sur le monde ébloui ! La tristesse et la peur leur étaient inconnues. Ils eussent, sans nul doute, escaladé les nues Si ces audacieux, En retournant les yeux dans leur course olympique, Avaient vu derrière eux la grande République Montrant du doigt les cieux ! Jersey, du 7 au 13 janvier 1853.

I was officially born in the 17th century. My homeland was England. My parents were many. They conceived me in coffeehouses. I was officially born in the 17th century, When the crowns of Scotland and England united, When James VI, King of Scots, Ascended to the throne of England as James I; When civil wars between roundheads and cavaliers Ended in Parliamentary victory, At the Battle of Worcester. I was officially born in the 17th century, At the time of Interregnum, Commonwealths, Glorious Revolution, William and Mary and the English Bill of Rights. Reformation and proliferation of literacy: People learnt to read the Bible, Then chose to be curious and explore, Secular literature and novels In circulating libraries. My parents were many. They conceived me in coffeehouses, Scattered around the city, Spread throughout the country, And finally reached abroad: Another Revolution, on the other side of the Channel. My parents were many. They met at intellectual bacchanalia, In reading societies and clubs, ‘Cause that’s where news was communicated. Freely criticizing politics and governments, They engaged in conversations in an environment of confrontation, Social status set aside, To listen, exchange, formulate, Understand and comprehend. Another William called me ‘mistress of success’, Blaise thought I was ‘the queen of the world’. Being well informed and debate in social networks Was a duty, before being a right, As my parents’ opinion would guide the rulers, Ideally in the interest not of few, not of many, but of all. First heeded by governments, They quickly learnt to manipulate me, They muzzled me and domesticated me, Taking away my freedom and relevance, With the unofficial excuse by which My parents were too ignorant to even have a voice. Now those coffeehouses have changed their shape, Intangible, virtual, ethereal, New spaces for new parents To develop ideas, opinions, And exchange; Not currencies or stocks but information and views. I am my parents’ voice, My name is Public Opinion.

New Spaces for New Parents
I was officially born in the 17th century. My homeland was England. My parents were many. They conceived me in coffeehouses. I was officially born in the 17th century, When the crowns of Scotland and England united, When James VI, King of Scots, Ascended to the throne of England as James I; When civil wars between roundheads and cavaliers Ended in Parliamentary victory, At the Battle of Worcester. I was officially born in the 17th century, At the time of Interregnum, Commonwealths, Glorious Revolution, William and Mary and the English Bill of Rights. Reformation and proliferation of literacy: People learnt to read the Bible, Then chose to be curious and explore, Secular literature and novels In circulating libraries. My parents were many. They conceived me in coffeehouses, Scattered around the city, Spread throughout the country, And finally reached abroad: Another Revolution, on the other side of the Channel. My parents were many. They met at intellectual bacchanalia, In reading societies and clubs, ‘Cause that’s where news was communicated. Freely criticizing politics and governments, They engaged in conversations in an environment of confrontation, Social status set aside, To listen, exchange, formulate, Understand and comprehend. Another William called me ‘mistress of success’, Blaise thought I was ‘the queen of the world’. Being well informed and debate in social networks Was a duty, before being a right, As my parents’ opinion would guide the rulers, Ideally in the interest not of few, not of many, but of all. First heeded by governments, They quickly learnt to manipulate me, They muzzled me and domesticated me, Taking away my freedom and relevance, With the unofficial excuse by which My parents were too ignorant to even have a voice. Now those coffeehouses have changed their shape, Intangible, virtual, ethereal, New spaces for new parents To develop ideas, opinions, And exchange; Not currencies or stocks but information and views. I am my parents’ voice, My name is Public Opinion.

Call in the cavalry, those men full of chivalry gay cavaliers to the end. Send in the merchants and march in the peasants the Monarchy is having a ball. Did they not ****** Caesar to please her?

Tossed salad
Hier il m'a semblé (sans doute j'étais ivre) Voir sur l'arche d'un pont un choc de cavaliers Tout cuirassés de fer, tout imbriqués de cuivre, Et caparaçonnés de harnais singuliers. Des dragons accroupis grommelaient sur leurs casques, Des Méduses d'airain ouvraient leurs yeux hagards Dans leurs grands boucliers, aux ornements fantasques, Et des nœuds de serpents écaillaient leurs brassards. Par moments, du rebord de l'arcade géante, Un cavalier blessé perdant son point d'appui, Un cheval effaré tombait dans l'eau béante, Gueule de crocodile entr'ouverte sous lui. C'était vous, mes désirs, c'était vous, mes pensées, Qui cherchiez à forcer le passage du pont, Et vos corps tout meurtris sous leurs armes faussées Dorment ensevelis dans le gouffre profond.

Choc de cavaliers
Peste J'hiberne jusqu'à ce qu'il soit temps, perfide, Limpide Contemplez-moi, impies, Le jour du jugement est ici ! Courez par centaines, Car seule la quarantaine Peut vous soigner. Peut vous sauver, Seul l'exil De la prévisibilité infernale de la ville J'ai arraché les pétales de toutes les fleurs Des cloches sonnent à toutes les heures Pour ceux qui sont malades de pleurs, Que ne peuvent soigner aucun docteur. Je rempli les terroirs, Je gratte les fumoirs Je suis le tout, Je suis le fou Guerre Je suis le vouloir Je suis le pouvoir Mourrez sous la loi martiale Souffrez de la vie impartiale Macabre moulin à viande tendre Dans un champ fertilisé à la cendre Le Minos des temps modernes, Que l'on nourrit de notre jeunesse Consomme, vorace comme en ivresse Consume nos amis et nos frères, Salit nos soeurs et nos terres Les mains tachées du sang des atrocités Que l'on regrette un fois revenue la lucidité Personne ne nous détruits mieux que nous-même Personne n'a jamais été sauvé dès son baptême Je tue les espoirs Je vole les avoirs Je suis lucide, Livide Famine Je suis le rat dans les geôles Je n'ai plus de contrôle Même si je fuis ailleurs, On me ronge de l'intérieur ! Sauvez-moi de cet insatiable creux ! Je salive de tous mes yeux À la vue de nourritures fines Dont je suis en manque, j'imagine La vie n'est que désirs, Bonheur, l'excès et son plaisir Que ne ferait pas un homme pour ne pas rater son train Quand il se meurt, et qu'on lui promet un bout de pain ? Que ne ferait pas un homme quand il est seul et qu'il a faim Quand de l'intérieur il meurt, et qu'il besoin de soin ? Je vide les armoires, Je gratte les contoires Je suis le vide Je suis l'avide Mort La limpide clarté La déchirante pureté De la puissante nature, Et de ses créatures Les plus virtueuses, Les plus malicieuses. Célèbre dramaturge, J'ai ce désir de purge, De soulager des siècles d'agonie Et ainsi cloître le cycle de la vie Rien n'est aussi grandiose qu'un dernier coup de théâtre Quand on est seule dans le silence de l'audience à l'amphithéâtre Bien petite compensation pour avoir réprimé ses désirs Que de pouvoir rêver un peu avant d'enfin s'endormir Je vide les boudoirs J'écarte le doute de revoir Je meurs d’ennui, je suis mort, Je meurtris la vie, je suis la mort

Les Quatres cavaliers de l'apocalypse

Down the hills and the mountain top I marched forth my armies. If am a King, its victory or nothing Things ain't looking up but i take my chances. Making up for the lost years when the sun rises. Again you draw out my defenses, Slayed my Cavaliers. Burned down my walls Laid waste my archers. Yet u didn't raise your banners. Its truth what they say spoken words are never enough. When I set my gaze on you its like an afterlife. Something never experienced yet its captivating. First time i caught a glimpse of you I knew you was my jarvis. Standing under the yellow sun You made everything just go away. Unbelievable, how am out here still wondering and still awake. Finding company and solace in this jars of ale. Which directions do i turn the rudder when we ready to sail. Where do I face the sails the waves hit me heavy. We just sailing a rocking boat not sure would hold steady. Yes you made me captain, i take the wheels whenever you are ready. I just want to know that when I slip You break my fall. When am drowning from falling to deep You pull me up. And bring me home If I ever wander away. Most times am like the dead sea on which our relation-SHIP is afloat Peachy and lifeless. I doubt my ability to exhibit those qualities when you around me. I have undoubtedly given you the keys to the only thing I have ever owned. I really don't know if I said enough Or a bit to much. Maybe just a bottled bomb couldn't hold up no more. And for our sake, hoping you understand. Am not writing you this either like we in the Renaissance. Plus am not really a fighter so its aint the medieval. Am just writing to let you know that you got me down. Or if my pride agrees am a bit in love with you. Which ever it is its not far to to see. That you are all I ever wanted and ever need . So let's make a treaty, I be your King And you my Queen. On God !! baby girl I tell you , see now am just a man.....kazer2018 Tm-Narcissus.... Tm-beast....Tm-god.
