"damsels" poems
The first thing I saw early this morning When I pulled back the light green curtains Was a hectic blue 'n orange butterfly Waving in the fair sun of my garden - Between the enclosed well and the laurel tree. On the red radiant sidewalk, Two damsels strutted together; A turquoise skirt wore the one, A chocolate T-shirt the other. Jubilant they were together, As the cadence of their laughter Waved in the air like Tunisian silk. No harvest did my screen display today, No mountain range did loom far in the distance; All that was shown were a laughing sidewalk, And a quivering sun in a small garden.

The Window
by— Josiah Israel Twas oft the way in days of old, When knight would battle brave and bold, The damsels hand in hopes to hold, Worth more then polished Stone, or Gold For this is what a boy is told When day is done and night is cold… “One day my son, thy chance will come Though courage oft may waver, When lady waits, through sable gates For thee brave lad, to save her!” For when a dragon stole a maid, Awaiting ransom duly paid, Twas bravest knight, armor arrayed   With noble steed and burnished blade Rode swiftly to the damsels aid… “You have not birth of high degree Yet be thou brave and fight, For low in rank thy birth may be Yet heart makes noble knight!” And after facing beast and foe The knight with maiden free would go Away to fields in need of *** For seeds ere winter need to grow And none can reap who do not sow… “Not all you do will win a prize Of gold or silver bent, So reap a harvest good in size And be thee well content.” And when the battle horn he hears The knight must banish all his fears And ride to war, with battle cheers On maidens cheek alight her tears Fearing death, she spends the years… “To win renown in battle Might also be your path, May your enemies armor rattle As they feel your righteous wrath!” But after kings campaign is done The knight to home will swiftly run From dusk through night to rising sun Till maiden sees her hero come Heart moving swift, a beating drum Her heart a prize which first he won! “Home is best at warring's end To be with those you cherish, A place to rest, your wounds to mend Where love will never perish” Though all the kingdom knows his name And minstrels spread the brave knights fame His love for she, remains the same And they live happily, Knight and Dame…

Knight and Dame

I. Neptune’s Theater A rock spins through the universal tumbler and its warm blue pools calcify as turquoise Neptune in his cloudy blue bath bath builds a lace castle with his fingertips Sculpts a submerged eden of crimson and emerald where painted parrots chat up cardinals butterfly and angel fry sway with wave pulse and foliated coral fingers beckon from arched windows. Neptune’s children are flat and bright, spined and notched free yet entangled in lace mesh ecosystem beneath an array of bioluminescent stars as a gangly pretender watches and blows bubbles. II. Sapien Siege The hot acidic hand of death grasps the mesh rends and tangles the ecosystem shattered reef’s loosed children scream beneath planet’s stars. Butterflies impaled cyanide-swooning damsels mesh-tangled angels hauled heavenward coral to potash, corpses to coal. The pretender to the throne blinks rubs blurry lenses, kicks plastic fins and moves on to the next show Unseeing and unaware of the luminous filament in his wake. Self-appointed divinity, deus ex machina. ******************************************************************************************* Ann says: All of the animal and human characters in this poem (except Neptune and The Pretender) are named after coral reef fish. Coral reefs, one of the most diverse ecosystems, are expected to be largely extinct within one human generation. Deus ex machina is Latin for “God from the machine.” Copyright 2013 by Ann Marcaida.

Children of the Reef
Beastly is this monster state yet many damsels cannot avoid Some may call it disturbingly conflicting and become annoyed Where rationality coexists with irrationality in an unstable realm Pretty monster states navigate this journey as captains at the helm Pretty monster states, Pretty monster states No need to disguise your fury or depressions Pretty monster states, Pretty monster states This is just part of your amazing expressions Wonder is this monster state since the inception of Adam and Eve Men can only hope to be compassionate, steadfast and never peeved One moment, pretty monster states can be loving and best friends Next moment, challenging one’s good nature and spirit to extreme ends Pretty monster states, Pretty monster states No need to disguise your fury or depressions Pretty monster states, Pretty monster states This is just part of your amazing expressions Frightful is this monster state like a suspenseful thriller or mystery Only those who are not faint of heart can sleuth this case history Where a profound will of character serves to stabilize one’s constitution Bringing the monster state to an uneventful but amenable restitution Pretty monster states, Pretty monster states No need to disguise your fury or depressions Pretty monster states, Pretty monster states This is just part of your amazing expressions.

Pretty Monster States ***
Moving amidst my Ramona chapter books, I make out your movement, M, the moody turns Of your mounts and valleys, the moniker of Family names, you marked me like a maternal Emblem of the generation’s matriarch, You mingled amid reminiscences of former matrons Maria Helena from the Midwest, Who crossed the mountains in a wagon, Madeleine, a migrant from Marseilles, Who baked warm loaves in San Francisco, And her own daughter, my Mimi, Who muttered merde while she drank martinis. In my own time, you materialized in Marjorie, my nana, and Maria, my mom, The women in which I knew you growing up, Then Molly, who made dreams out of Magic and Movies and Marie Antoinette, You embellished my most favorite things. In my monogram, you aimed my impulses in your masts’ diametric directions Towards competence, towards imagination. In your middle ‘s mysterious compartment I make snug With magazines and novels and mugs of hot milk. You nuzzled me in moments of melancholy, then motivated me To meander among your fundamental family, The sumptuous L of melt and mélange, The meticulous N of man or monk or money. Even W, which matches your mien in mirror It warped wicked witch while you Milled maidens and damsels, so I imagined The mutilation of those two majuscules formed My image of womanhood. M, Molly Smithson materialized From a meek mademoiselle into the mistress of mischief.

The Melody of M
At times can be seen melting together One into the other like a loving couple At times drifting as a lonely wanderer The clouds are there to imitate people It can't move on a journey on its own Without energy clouds are immovable It'll stay motionless if not wind blown Prodding to be productive like people Some are peacocks parading with flair Of damsels bosoms as white as marble Putting air pompous what do I care Show fame without shame like people Arms ready for war it's getting warm They gather warring forces for battle They march whip up a thunderstorm Rainclouds hungry for war like people Clouds can be big cloud can be small Can be rich prosperous can be poor Like people accumulate only to lose all To earn and loss and earn once more They orbit the earth decorated the sky Unaware of mortal affairs just rumble Prone to fallacy or vanity as you and I Can't help noticed clouds are like people

I think things like "weigh my belt" That weight dowth felt thy girly wirly smell hand made sew maid for two plums pie I cry I cry I almost pass away way to the future down down to below. Oh how can I be so naïve before the summer glow a basement bash of feet below below a hazard haggard waist wasted on the belt loop of his father a potter plain before your very eyes a seismic ray of disbelief a cobble stone of sticks and leaves. No I could be a sailor man and I could eat things from a can and inching toward a rubber band Damsels in distress they're not impressed by you or shallow deeds deeds begin to play beneath my skin and things that float away and inching toward the silos of a tribal super plane a racecar a racecar I'm ******* erasing it  all

Damsels of distress, Wings of vivid crests. All elegant in a romance. Spin my Fairy. Tilt your head. Sprinkle fairy dust, To ressurect the dead. The dead who don't dance. Who stand in awe of your crest. Spin my Fairy, Recruit the rest. Vivid streams, Violet strings. Strung on thy lute of play. Spin my Fairy, Sing your song. Of Vibrance. Of Honor. Of love. Spin now, Your wings beautifully carved. As a monarch or a sprite. You give life to the crowd. Elegance above Royalty. Love above Lust. Play your reverend strings. Of Story Springs. Spin my Fairy, Flare those vivid wings. You are the final act. Praise your Lute of Rings.

Spin my Fairy (Final)
Although I haven't witnessed Darfur's eyes run red. Rivers full of skeletons, and bodies torn and bled. I've read about the pigment of fearful hearts so lost. A dreaded world within a world; there are no lines to cross. Money paid for power. Power, bodies, bills. The Janjaweed at noon, are cleansing for their drills. Washing down stern orders with blood on unclean hands. Babies and their mothers decomposing in sand. Weapons worn like diamonds. Lust and **** colliding. Torture becomes normalcy. Living only hiding. So long as Omar al-Bashir sees families as roaches, death is understated. In greed, he people-poaches. Pity is for damsels parading in a tide of much needed attention with ego on the side. To you, my friend who listens, but fails to comprehend: Those who live for nothing are nothing in the end, I ask you, pray for Sudanese fed horrors for their lunch, their bones becoming rubble, under tires they will crunch.

Janjaweed at Noon
Our love was crafted from heavenly bodies. Tow trucks, skyscrapers, and chicken farms separated us. But destiny, fate, and god came together And gave these three damsels a gift. Wrapped in blonde bows, And dry throaty laughs. We are one of the greatest platonic affairs. All of us were given to Hades from our mothers; Their tears fell on the maps they gave us. As the gods weep, we laugh At how we found each other in the mess that surrounds us. All has aligned. Nothing is perfect. But nothing truly beautiful Was born from perfection. We are our sweaty foreheads, Large appetites, Thirst for a knowing, And a hunger for a longing. We are a connection Conceived from something holy and numinous.

And our brother, too, the metal shaman Reaches up, plucks knowledge from the stars We chant, guttural grunts, primal urges And fierce grinding teeth clenching and screeching The shaman dances and Reaches up, plucks knowledge from the stars And we SCREAM shrill Bare our necks and bring the knife across, **** A sacrifice to the metal beast The shaman stares straight up, Plucks knowledge from the stars And the blood leaves us Hair turns grey Daily exploits lost in deepening wrinkles The macabre ritual culminates... The Shaman, unappeased Laughs like Hyena, cackling REACHES UP AND PLUCKS KNOWLEDGE FROM THE STARS! The existential cacophony diminishes Din dimming Beast is empty Bits flow like blood Ones and zeros in a jumbled pool The shaman delivers The family sits around the glowing box A tribe in an ancient ritual Flip the switch, change the channel The children plucking out their eyes Little blind Oedipus Smashing faces through the tube To the life on the other side Celebrities, products, and reality shows Forget thought Present your mind To the beast A cinematic **** Send Damsels to appease the Minotaur Change the channel

in storybook endings , the princesses found their princes. The valiant heroes chases away all the dragons. The lost would find their way home. And people would find what they've lost. But then, whatever happened to those who fell in love with the dragons instead? The damsels, who became too comfortable with their own distress?

the lies they tell in fairytales
So I'm a "fly" white guy, with "Jet" black tendencies, Try to be a nice guy, But somehow end up the enemy. I'll treat you like a princess, But I'm a fort, You can't get into me. It makes no sense to me. How did this knight in shining armor, Get slain by the dragon? So once upon a time, I was a hero, Now I'm a has-been. Last in the castle for I belong with the Pagans, Slaying distressed damsels, Giving hell to the angels With strangers wrapped in mangers, Destined for greatness. Trapped within this labyrinth of my cranium. But when it comes to blame, My pigmentation begins to change, But this time it's not my shame. 'Cause you play the same game That the dames did before you. You're no different. You're not worth a fortune. Fortunately, you revealed your horns for me. It's torturing how for me it ended horribly, and you moved on to the same dude you ******* before me. Love's supposed to be patient, Love's supposed to be kind, Instead it's a battlefield Filled with landmines. You say it's false, that nice guys finish last? Well clarify why I'm starin', At taillights from my past. They say when you have everything, You give nothing back. So I guess that explains Why your feelings for me lack. You're like "You're a white guy, That tends to be black. Well how in the hell Can I get used to that?" That's ******** You're afraid of commitment. That's why you had to end it, Before it could begin with. You're a cynical, sinister, Hypocritical minister, Angelic sinner sent to incriminate innocence. Evil's equivalent, Yet as sweet as carcinogens. If heartbreak were a game, Girl, you would be winnin' it. If my soul were a food, You would've finished it. I had a confident conscience, but girl you diminished it. Listen kid, I get you're immature and **** But don't go and slander my name When you used to worship it. Love's supposed to be patient, Love's supposed to be kind, Instead it's a battlefield Filled with landmines.

The Damsel Rewrite
in today´s virtual worlds we take our avatars to meet with others of their kind in that cute coffee shop in neverland hoping that one of many current superheroes shows up for a quick drink before another dangerous task like fighting dragons threatening fair damsels        killing the blinded one-eyed giant        defeating hordes of wild insurgents        saving our planet from superior but evil aliens old fairy tales and myths        it seems have donned contemporary virtual garbs changed names and weapons to happily exude their fascination on yet another generation hungry for adventures that take them far away from their quotidian battles for survival

I am a damsel; I need not a prince. I need not a knight. I'm a modern damsel with a need for life. I am a damsel; Distress is always there. Challenges are everywhere. I'm a modern damsel who takes down mountains. I am a damsel; I feel fear, and maybe that's a good thing. I feel uncertain, and maybe that's not a bad thing. I am a modern damsel who gets to feel everything... Because that's what damsels in my generation can do.

Damsels
Pan by Michael R. Burch ... Among the shadows of the groaning elms, amid the darkening oaks, we fled ourselves ... ... Once there were paths that led to coracles that clung to piers like loosening barnacles ... ... where we cannot return, because we lost the pebbles and the playthings, and the moss ... ... hangs weeping gently downward, maidens’ hair who never were enchanted, and the stairs ... ... that led up to the Fortress in the trees will not support our weight, but on our knees ... ... we still might fit inside those splendid hours of damsels in distress, of rustic towers ... ... of voices of the wolves’ tormented howls that died, and live in dreams’ soft, windy vowels ...

Pan
Tossing to and fro as if combating a hostile sea/ dark thoughts cloud the inner sanctum of my mind/ the distress, the bitterness, the anguish, the grief, the sadness, the lonliness, the unfathomably lustful pain/ that I face burn with the intensity of the fires of hell that await me/ Guardians of chaos; harvesters of damsels come for me that I drown in their sins/ rip the fabric of my consciousness asunder/ my ***** sing an aria of sorrow, listen to the requiem of the ****** a miasma of death flood my bowels/ decay enters my womb and I plunge deeper into madness/  I'm an error; a fault of life as the demonic servants consume my flesh for what feels like a eternity/ as we desend in to the pit of blasphemy, defilement, pagans, and idol worshippers/ he deprives my spirit of the rightousness, tears it from its mortal bond and it unfurls into a ethereal cloud of emptiness/ being ravaged my capture looks off in the distance as if performing an exhibition/ with every touch I feel dead inside all the while the nightmare watches with a disgustingly grim grin.... This was written for a art history class inspired by "The Nightmare" by Henry Fuseli Tell me what you think of the interpretation!!

The Nightmare
My precious You become a beauty Only when you languorously Hug the waists of damsels as cincture Countless are the times, earlobes or ankles Unadorned by you Inflamed me A plain a yellow thread has ousted you nowadays When you swing from an ear, It is indeed fascinating to watch You have even usurped my sleep As a nose-ring, through its keen glitter Costume jewellery has replaced you too, many times Still, my precious, It is when you are pawned That you become real ‘gold ‘ Like the revolutionary Who become more so By getting hanged Like a soldier Who become more of a soldier By getting shot at the border My precious, my precious My precious pledged gold.

A 22 carat poem on gold
*Star light, star bright, The first star I see tonight; I wish I may, I wish I might, Have the wish I wish tonight* Star light, Star bright, Why have you failed me tonight I wished with all my might Begging for this wish tonight. My innocence has washed away The childish wonder has lost its luster fading into the dark night sky Reality has kicked in Time to grow up Can't be the next peter pan Can't live among the stars any longer. Children are believing no more Faries, mermaids, and all the glamour. Pirates, Treaure, Damsels in destress, children are forgetting, turning their backs Those wishing stars have shattered Falling to Earth like meteors. Their twinkle has fizzeled out Their magic blowing away in space.

pretentious poet
O silver and black knight of the forest, what goal have you taken up for the castle? "I seek to slay with my beauty only..." "Slay those cries and moans from lonely damsels." "What business does an evil eye have in the land of purity and repose?" "I have many good deeds fine guardian." "Then enter secure, but let no evil in, or you will be cast out." .... "You have no business here until your wicked deeds are paid for, get out!" "Hey, that's okay," a fair damsel allows me to part from my solitude. Put on the sandy veil of partnership, for the spirit has reached into the divine female and divine male. Let those chakras make a transpersonal point, but sacral business is all I see. Maidens forever young. It seems an eunich has breached our display. But are we allowed back into the land of purity and repose? It seems the true goal of a babe's heart at the lap of his mother has entered the lair. Now is the fair damsel taken to the merciless judge. Now is a beautiful friend, waiting all this time, to exchange a breeze of heartfelt love. ****** purity is sought after, yet there is no place to hide a **** Light no longer is transferred from the 8th dimension. The male/female chakras above the crown open up again for sacral play. The sattvic essence remains, and I am held dearly at this party. The children outlast me during the night. I enter through a circular gate of pastel crystal petals into a deck of superstrength beings of all colors. A female face is grafted to mine. She puts on silver and black armor and the walls are crimson.
