"galantly" poems
The sugâ galantly stand around
with their spears
Dressed in goat ' s skin with painted
faces and hair
Their countenance say ' do not dare '
A direct contrast of the square ' s
light air,
Which is exagerated by the
tipsiness from the locally brewed
beer .
With dances the festival began in
earnest ,
Each dancer stamping hard to
make his beats the loudest.
The tipsy audience laughing and
cheering their best ,
Men, like chimpanzees , beating
their bare breast.
Mandiang is all, anything else is
being put to rest.
The drull drum is a - play for the
sugâ dance
Marking the ****** of all that has
and is to chance ,
The majestic monarch march for
the entrance
And the time for the rain - making
ritual to commence.
So it, at the end , rained as usual ,
The welcome crown of this annual
ritual .

For eternities, it seemed
We sought out the extremities
And so far down the road
It seems a bit narrow up ahead
As if time will click on
Without a sound
And the pound in our hearts
Will sink down
Weightless and floating
We start to think
About how we got this far out to sea
This starts the struggle
We become tired and limp
And the only thing we grasp is the water
Forget the swim
As we grasp for the empty edges that surround
Even touching the ground
Seems silly, as the filth starts to cloud
No matter where you look, which ever way that may be
Blue is all that your eyes will see
Until you realize
That the color means nothing to me
Only cupping water, each stroke at a time
Will lead you back to where you need to be .
Galantly gazing, coasting lazily .
You need not leave a comfort,
but for the fact of your own zone .

Your eyes never seem to leave mine.
But how could I not stare at the flowing Carmel that runs through them.
Oh, how you make me feel...soft.
Like a single blade of grass, galantly dancing in the wind without a care in the world.
Just dancing, freely.
I'd dance my nights away with you if it meant I could spend the mornings wrapped in your arms, gazing at Carmel hazed eyes.
