"gallantly" poems
To smile at the carnation, So gallantly growing, At peace with this world. In silence... I tune in a short conversation Between minds and bodies - Incredibly cold. My heart has surrendered To nightingale's song. I dream of Rhode Island... I'm leaving! So long! The winds of Sonora, My nannies and friends. My love for Evora - My tears know no end. The shadows of Mordor, With sunrise they fade. Grace, Kindness and Splendour: Three Buddhas in jade. I feed roastede pidgeone To poor ryebread crumbs. Avoiding curmudgeons, I'm playing professional dumb. Caressing the grass-blades, I live in a drop. Arcadian arcade: There, God has no job. In hurting the Nature We drain our souls. Let’s all at once cease Being ignorant ghouls. ...To stroke the carnation, To gently kiss buds. To eat simple meals Like lentils and spuds. To carry some water, To chop down some trees. To stop feeling rotten. My soul is at peace. The time is forever, The purpose is now. No “when” and no “where”, No “why” and no “how”. The light effervescent, The sound circumaural, The hearts ever-pleasant, The dreams polynomial. ...Collapsing eternity, Upheaving humanity, Rock-bottom fraternity, Defying the gravity. Creative destruction Is staunchly forbidding. The wisdom of ancients Is widely-misleading. Depleting our anger Is key to survival. Harnessing the hunger, Improptu revival. Combustion of senses, Precarious laughter. Incurable sepsis, Delirious canter. Regrets are forgotten, Bright days are all-cherished. Let’s live unbegotten Until we all perish. 13.06.2012

A short and an earlier popular poem of mine. Hope you like it! Thanks, - Raj, New Delhi.        THE SURF-RIDER ! See him riding gallantly the crest of waves, With dexterity and poise and flowing grace! He rises to descend, to rise once more, As the waves keep rolling towards the shore! Like those surfs the Rider continues his mellifluous dance , Be it in England, in Spain or in France; Riding high on waves as if in a trance! The wind churns up the waves as it rises and swells, As the Rider manoeuvers his wake-board riding those crests before it breaks ! Like a gymnast he executes strong cutbacks - to reverse his turn, His spirit dominate as the waves rise and churn! He did take his time to perfect his art , Having loved the sea  and the surf from the very start! He learnt to live in moments just like those dancing waves, Floating on their crests as his blood within raves! Those surfs like musical notes rise up and fall, Where some surfs are short and others tall ! Like a philharmonic conductor par-excellence, He commands those waves with his skilful presence! Friends, riding on Time’s moments is no mean art, But like the Surf-rider one must make a gallant start !                                           -Raj Nandy, New Delhi

Strumming the untuned strings, he stares drunkenly into the setting sun of yesteryears songs, sung of lost dreams and the birthed ambitions of the dark, dark days to be. Happily, he tears up in the fortunate tragedies, of the reclamation in his dreams, as he seethes out the damnation of his steeds, galloping gallantly through his being. All seeing, in the finite fleeting when he sings, of strummed dreams to the rhythms of heart beats lost, embossed on the epitaphs of kings. Sad songs of dreams once had. Be glad for that, which does not **** you, only to bestow upon you, the gratitude of the weirding ways, in passionate display for us all to play nice. Shake these dice and jump aboard this bus of wandering poetry, from the porches of poets singing to the sun. From the morning Moet, to the afternoon beer run. we sing of dreams of better things we blaspheme and spin the scenes of our murdered dreams and just clean the guilt away I am so awesome as to be devoid of fault. I am a god that cracks the asphalt. I am the angel signing the clause, of deserved harm. I am the indentured servant sounding the alarm, with the charm of a Trojan horse, forced to adhere to the most righteous path. The first The last Laugh of inevitability Honing in on the ability to capture the longevity of dream warriors, in the lock of predators, in the employ of a senator, from the center of the heart, to impart on you the fear from thieves caught in the plight of those fraught with the graces of an exterminator, exterminating the pro-creators of your world. Soldiers unraveled in the lavished gavels of real criminals drowning in their own subliminal theories of the self imposed heresies of intention. Free will A fragile blessing I cracked, all so long ago, as i gently bestow my belligerence upon your innocence and **** it all away. I'm the ******* son Strumming for the only one. Once. Before the lore of the storm. Born of the swoon of a gun. More than one. Once. As the day faded into night, his strumming turned plucking, as he slightly eased from reprise to silence, in the whisper of nights words, easing him into the blur, of sleep.

I know I have been happiest at your side; But what is done, is done, and all's to be. And small the good, to linger dolefully-- Gayly it lived, and gallantly it died. I will not make you songs of hearts denied, And you, being man, would have no tears of me, And should I offer you fidelity, You'd be, I think, a little terrified. Yet this the need of woman, this her curse: To range her little gifts, and give, and give, Because the throb of giving's sweet to bear. To you, who never begged me vows or verse, My gift shall be my absence, while I live; But after that, my dear, I cannot swear.

I Know I Have Been Happiest
A perfect man for me was never moulded by a box, A box that screamed multitude of labels To satiate the chaotic minds of society, A belonging judged by feudality, no rhyme or reason required or questioned. A perfect man for me was never measured by material things, He gives abundantly by just being around, An illuminating source of comfort on the other end listening, Empathising and leaving a trail of laughter that makes me fall even deeper. A perfect man for me was never masked crusader (okay, maybe Batman sometimes), He is maskless for the world to bask in his genuity, No bounds or limitations set on his acts of kindness and love, Selfless and generous with his time, blind to any creed or pedigree. A perfect man for me was never one to run away from problems, Valiantly facing the raging bulls head on, Inner strength personified by his poise and determination, "I will get through this unscathed and no one will stop me". A perfect man for me was never an owner of a cold crackled heart, Headstrong, gallantly keeps the family together in a bind of unconditional love, Lovingly adores his sunshine, making sure she knows she is loved with the same fervour, Day in and day out, void of complains and pettiness, as the world turns. A perfect man for me was never perfect, Owning up to his flaws and shortcomings and being aware of mine, A cycle that is never vicious but one that is laced with acceptance and non-judgments, He inspires the best version of myself as he aspires to better himself. A perfect man for me spells Y-O-U, And the way that you are is exactly how I love Y-O-U. Shalini Nayar 24.11.14 (C) 2014

Explosions of grief won't greet her death Great men won't be summoned to speak Bands of mourners won't wail at her passing These gestures she will not seek Just mingle the day with music and madness Make the day one drooped in frost Children must carry her down winding roads Clarinets must moan her loss Then at an hour no one knows A man must visit her grave He'll kneel and touch her tombstone And smile a mysterious way He'll be dressed head to toe in somber black Conveying his grief gallantly Just let him place one pink rose at the site And rejoice in his memories

One Pink Rose
High-mindedness, a jealousy for good, A loving-kindness for the great man's fame, Dwells here and there with people of no name, In noisome alley, and in pathless wood: And where we think the truth least understood, Oft may be found a "singleness of aim," That ought to frighten into hooded shame A money-mongering, pitiable brood. How glorious this affection for the cause Of steadfast genius, toiling gallantly! What when a stout unbending champion awes Envy and malice to their native sty? Unnumbered souls breathe out a still applause, Proud to behold him in his country's eye.

Addressed To Haydon
The yellowed dome cracks upon the surface Of the moistened soil that stretches to make Their way, emphatically filling most base Space between dried stubs of flesh - never fake Fruitless fingers - cracking, brushing, but now Healing by comforting the path I pursue With the wake of the rooster. Home left warming behind, I gallantly Saunter toward more humid, fume-fed airs While leaving the thoughts that so quaintly Filled my head, forgot to ingrain, and failed, Allowing growth to myself. Sun hung, high-noon, the dew fades all too soon Creating a creaky concoction kept Together (of sounds) by bare breaking-bones Feet against gravel, dusty, rocky steps. Sky set so wearisome and pink, I fall To my knees in the midst of high terrain Marked by thin grasses and rolling hill plains; As I beg for mercy, not from this all- Endowed sight, but from God(s) who seem only To make this life right - I'll collapse further, My hands move mountainous dirt and holy Diadems of twig, while I decide - worth When shall I dig?

Life In A Day
Just for a handful of silver he left us, Just for a riband to stick in his coat— Found the one gift of which fortune bereft us, Lost all the others she lets us devote; They, with the gold to give, doled him out silver, So much was theirs who so little allowed: How all our copper had gone for his service! Rags—were they purple, his heart had been proud! We that had loved him so, followed him, honoured him, Lived in his mild and magnificent eye, Learned his great language, caught his clear accents, Made him our pattern to live and to die! Shakespeare was of us, Milton was for us, Burns, Shelley, were with us,—they watch from their graves! He alone breaks from the van and the freemen, He alone sinks to the rear and the slaves! We shall march prospering,—not through his presence; Songs may inspirit us,—not from his lyre; Deeds will be done,—while he boasts his quiescence, Still bidding crouch whom the rest bade aspire: Blot out his name, then, record one lost soul more, One task more declined, one more footpath untrod, One more triumph for devils and sorrow for angels, One wrong more to man, one more insult to God! Life’s night begins: let him never come back to us! There would be doubt, hesitation and pain, Forced praise on our part—the glimmer of twilight, Never glad confident morning again! Best fight on well, for we taught him—strike gallantly, Menace our heart ere we pierce through his own; Then let him receive the new knowledge and wait us, Pardoned in heaven, the first by the throne!

Her Losses make our Gains ashamed—
Agony of the fantasy, so lazily, with no probability the ecstasy so randomly seen with eyes of atrophy my heart beats so rapidly for the sake of catastrophe so i gallantly step on the travesty of the compatibility i casually see my casualty through eyes of calamity searching so actively for a canopy of rationality my mind thinks abnormality is better than conformity actuality meets versatility or circumstantial amity thinking elaborately not organically, of reality a tapestry so naturally put together differently visually vivid quality is a visible consistency no commonality,  critically crushed by normality

A master magician at hiding While running and gallantly striding Your message is strong, you gallop along With spirit continually guiding Independent you move with the group Making headway you learn to recoup Ready to bolt, to rebel and revolt If your light should get caught in a loop Your harmony steadies in trouble A clean break away from all struggle Lessons are taught, even when you're distraught As you truly embrace them and juggle When problems arise in the east skies You remember the sun also dies And though it falls down, it comes back around To greet us the next day with bright eyes Spirit Zebra be with us to find Let our strength and our courage unwind Into all of the holes, deep in our souls That we carry throughout our lifetime Teach us patience to love every side So that we may enjoy how we ride Some days we will glow, some days will be low Love will teach us to rise not subside To see everything, just as it is To live the truth of this regardless Return stronger yet, from any upset With a chance for new growth and progress You teach us to seek balance and truth Till the end of our days from our youth Standing confidently, strong as can be Building skills that will calm us and soothe With every step forward we've taken Your wisdom unfolds and awakens All of our needs, teach us how to succeed Good or bad, we shall not be mistaken We are shifting between light and dark We are always igniting the spark A few steps gone back, will put us on track With pure faith we will soon disembark tHE tERRY tREE Photo | Google Images | Poetic Form | Gwawdodyn

We mourn the loss of our little pet, And sigh o'er her hapless fate, For never more by the fire she'll sit, Nor play by the old green gate. The little grave where her infant sleeps Is 'neath the chestnut tree. But o'er her grave we may not weep, We know not where it may be. Her empty bed, her idle ball, Will never see her more; No gentle tap, no loving purr Is heard at the parlor door. Another cat comes after her mice, A cat with a ***** face, But she does not hunt as our darling did, Nor play with her airy grace. Her stealthy paws tread the very hall Where Snowball used to play, But she only spits at the dogs our pet So gallantly drove away. She is useful and mild, and does her best, But she is not fair to see, And we cannot give her your place dear, Nor worship her as we worship thee.

A Lament For S. B. Pat Paw
ROBBED BY TIME Once upon a time, A friend in need at all times, Time was such my best friend And so we hopped till the end. To my castle he'd come, For he was always welcome Any time he ever wanted to, Something my queen loved too. We'd ramble woodland paths together As he reeled off one story after another, All day long having a good time Till when castle bells could chime. Time was not of this world, But a great war lord Of a very far away land, King unto the realm of fairy land. He who had a novelty crown Bestowed upon him by a fairy clown, A crown not of gold but of palest silver, A precious gem from the fairyland silva. With lurve in the air one morning, My friendship with Time died aborning When he chose to do something frivolous Just when the Sun's rays were so glorious. Time emblazed my heart, Something that didst hurt When he smiled unto my wife, Such a great shock unto my life. He gravitated towards her after a deep sigh, Like a whirlwind, my mind whirled high. He thus gallantly asked her for a dance, And was granted a golden chance. Keenly I watched this flint-hearted boy, Thought him skint but feared not nor coy. With alacrity and in broad day light Together they cwtched in delight. He whom I always enjoyed with the wine, There enjoying with a queen of mine Whilst committing mischief; This friend of mine such a thief. Time whispered thus into my Queen's ear, Whispers I could hardly hear: Alas! He promised her the moon For they'd eloped by noon, To places strange I might never have a clue, To where mortals have never dared walk to, All the way to the realm of fairy land, Such, such a very far away land. ©Kikodinho Edward Alexandros 10th Aug 2016.

Precious gem, Gleaming so gallantly. Streaming light into streets. Luminescent gem, Containing Dragon souls. Shining on her neck, Breathing fire down on the world. Precious gem, Agonize thy souls. Never to be free again. In this human world.

So so Far I've seen the talent-less and the talented **** heads until their skulls cracked and we peered in and saw a garden growing green leafy creativity Gallantly trotting across the right brain like the breezy morning wind And as we looked away and declared the winner had won but cracked his skull on the stubborn brick wall the talent-less had spun out of hard jealousy and mortar crafted from their own lack of self discipline The sun even sighed died for a second then came back alive only to find the talentless still forrunning their forte up every frigid full soul he found on his way So the days saddened into rainy Saturdays 19 in a row with the downpour too vicious to even kiss on the cheek as a pity way of putting across that "you should really go" the rain rained down boulder sized bouts of concentrated creative energies only able to be ****** up by sponges with cracked skulls and thus made into uncracked skulls mended skulls Talented unabridged uncensored skulls that may drown out the talentless just like the rain and storms tried to muster a try at And by that we only see the talented come out walking with rain pouring Into their brains getting ****** up by extracorpus veins Not because they were born with contraptions but because they avoided distractions and gained traction in this multiverse where everything happens with struggle and pain.

A poem
i was going to write a piece using the word we entirely too often. talk about the slip of your palms down my cheeks, the floaty high after you don't sleep for forty-eight hours and then skip gallantly through the albertson's parking lot. i was going to write this immense prose with weaving metaphors and phrases that begged to be spoken. a piece with a moral, about a boy and a girl, or maybe two girls, or an animal and the voice that haunts it. about a willow bride with gauze wrapped firmly around a puncture wound. describe the inner monologue of a park bench. but maybe not, because that would be deleted. i could write you a letter, because you know who you are. or the empty waterbottle that is staring mournfully at me, or burlap sacks, or the words that i speak of constantly but never speak.

arrowhead mountain spring water
From the helter skelter In a helter skelter dash For solitude at the esker I strayed in a labyrinth Of dark soaring woods Here-upon, trees begun to move! An optical illusion it seemed to be, Though a moment my eyes did love; But in a mean time, out of kilter Was the avenue to the esker. Wandering midst soaring woods Serendipitously there I beheld An elegant creature, A creature with a velvety Pale unblemished skin, Lilly white as porcelain, Gaily yet opalescent as an opal, With curling glossy auburn hair, Mellifluously whispering a lullaby With verve in the wanton air Whilst flapping her wings To take wing. On feasting about her impeccable face, It thus dawned upon me: "She was not of this our world But an alien, an angel rom outer space." Swiftly, I gravitated towards her And unto her said I was lost, Lost like leaves beneath the frost Upon my way for solitude at the esker However the sheer cynosure She'd taken my fancy Hence moonstruck for sure. She gagged me, cwtched me, Enveloped me in her wings And merrily took wing Whilst I gallantly kissed, Kissed her nectar kisser. Past mullbery skies we soared, All the way unto her land of bliss Where upon we swam naked, Naked in halcyon waters, Waters of her land. Together, we made poetry Of love and life so blind, Cherishing moment after moment One could search forever to find, Whilst gallivanting from star to star, Only alone by ourselves on yonder To a very distant colourful clime, Yonder beyond restrictions of time.

MOONSTRUCK (EPIC)
From the helter skelter In a helter skelter dash For solitude at the esker I strayed in a labyrinth Of dark soaring woods Here-upon, trees begun to move!

Wandering midst soaring woods Serendipitously there I beheld An elegant creature, A creature with a velvety Pale unblemished skin, Lilly white as porcelain, Gaily yet opalescent as an opal, With curling glossy auburn hair, Mellifluously whispering a lullaby With verve in the wanton air Whilst flapping her wings To take wing.

little feet dashing across the playground with light-up shoes and arms raised and poised to hold our weaponry. swift movements mark the territory with memories of traipsing through our makeshift castles. when we’re children we gallantly save princesses with long tresses who cry from the tops of towers, fearing uproarious dragons and the darkness of the sky. we protect the princesses from terror, and some of us grow up to become them and learn to protect ourselves. the tall dragons shed their prismatic scales and flinch as they feel the girth of our swords. after much opposition, we face our fears and instantaneously make the final strike and become victorious. we turn and look through the binoculars of our hands and spot nimble thieves stealing the shimmering scales in exchange for their own greed. they climb medieval walls and we try to catch them. impulse clutters our line of vision and we go because there is no time to waste, we don’t want to lose them. sometimes they return the stolen treasure and sometimes its a lost cause. we learn the latter later, through long sighs at lonely 2 ams after seemingly infinite words have spilled out on paper and out loud out to those who can’t come back and those who can but won’t. but the former fleshes itself out when we experience moments of kismet. these days where we share conversations with people who satiate the hollow corners of our hearts and walk outside and breathe in the petrichor just as the sun has wriggled its way into the sky. we learn life is as vivid as any story we become momentarily enchanted by. people come and go as fast as the pages that inspired our childhood adventures turn, and everything happens at once. we face demons as beastly as our dragons but we have our warpaint on no matter how hastily drawn it is, and we convince ourselves of our strength until it’s real to us. we were the heroes of the story then, light-up shoes running across the playground, and we are the heroes of the story now, playing and living in the light-up world.

She howls at the moon in the midst of the night. Seeking lost souls trapped and screaming in fright. Her cries play melodies of melancholy trials lost, her spirit stolen callously at a grave cost. Roaming the dense fog on hallows eve Watching the dead rise, I'm sure many were known to be wise. As she so gallantly skips past ancient tree's they whipser vintage stories about Victorian times and all its glories. Tree leaves construct reenactments of ****** wars riddled of death and destruction among differences of the people, only wishing to gather and come together at the church steeple. Her howls are searched among the hollow lands above makeshift graves of innocent people seen as second rate, not suprising of their final fate. Beings born with no guidence for a undeniable ratchet societies views, she howls as she hears the news. Her ravaged heart however battered still beats, I am She Wolf.

She Wolf
I was breathing in the beauty of  Scala dei Turchi, as I sat atop pure white marlstone crescendo, etched by the winds and the rains of time; the view emphatically embracing the coast of Agrigento. ‘Twas along those balbutient banks of the Mediterranean sea I saw him silently standing there, his hands resting in white linen pockets, the salt wind blowing through his peppery hair. Serenely somber in quiescent stillness, he was dashingly debonair, his form earnestly beseeching, a wish delicately wrapped in the guise of a prayer. He peeled his stare away from crystal waters clear, I was transfixed by eyes that gallantly gazed at  me; eyes that emerged from pools of a deep sorrow, eyes as transparent as the turquoise blue sea. Deftly ascending those limestone cliffs, he was reminiscent of Saracen pirates penetrating; with such determination of gait and surety of purpose, he approached me with palpable power emanating. His drawing near sent my heart swiftly a-pounding, a halo of light behind his sun-kissed face – I imagined I saw a  shadowed smile emerge as he nonchalantly quickened his pace. He took his place beside me atop the pure white marlstone crescendo; and we waited for the sun to descend, against the skies of beautiful Agrigento.
