"gallops" poems
"I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my lids and all is born again. (I think I made you up inside my head.) The stars go waltzing out in blue and red, And arbitrary blackness gallops in: I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane. (I think I made you up inside my head.) God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade: Exit seraphim and Satan's men: I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. I fancied you'd return the way you said, But I grow old and I forget your name. (I think I made you up inside my head.) I should have loved a thunderbird instead; At least when spring comes they roar back again. I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. (I think I made you up inside my head.)"

Mad Girl's Love Song
Leaning into the afternoons, I cast my sad nets towards your oceanic eyes. There, in the highest blaze my solitude lengthens and flames; Its arms turning like a drowning man's. I send out red signals across your absent eyes That wave like the sea, or the beach by a lighthouse. You keep only darkness my distant female; >From your regard sometimes, the coast of dread emerges. Leaning into the afternoons, I fling my sad nets to that sea that is thrashed By your oceanic eyes. The birds of night peck at the first stars That flash like my soul when I love you. The night, gallops on its shadowy mare Shedding blue tassels over the land.

Leaning Into The Afternoons
They look out from the terrace. At the borders of sight live rocky hills behind brown and golden and olive crop under a cloudless sky. BANG! An artificial cloud. “Mira,” she points, “Venga!” They fly down stairs, diving like sparrows into the street. Boys sprint across pavements and climb; men vault over fences in time for news to reach ears. "¡Ya vienen!" Excitement and fear. The rattling of cow bells and galloping nears. Men bait and dodge horns and escape through doors and up and over red wooden bars. Sticks beat on the concrete ground and closer, louder, gallops sound. Seconds away – until the last, he side steps into a house; indoors, apart, he runs through the foyer and up the stairs around a corner with long strides too fast to follow. She chooses left and sings soprano when doors won't budge and        it                       crashes                                        in. She turns and the fear is paralysing. "FERMIN!" "FERMIN!" "FERMIN!" He hurdles the stairs and explodes but it rams her to and fro, thrashing her head against the wall where horns sin and gore cement and brick. He clasps the tail and heaves its hide from side to side as hooves smash crates of wine - they slip and slide in fractured glass; he finds a horn and yanks the head! He's yanked instead near dead before the men arrive down stairs to punch and kick it; strike and stick it smack and hit it; 'til it fits and quits and flees the foyer, fast and frantic, flying flustered by the frenzy, finally finding pattering paves it peters off down the street. "¿Que ha pasado?   ¿Quien ha sido?   ¡El Balbotin   y la Chicha!   ¡Que una vaca   les ha pillado!" "¿Estas bien?" Dizzy she's there with searching hands and scolding. "Podria haber sido peor"

I fear. I fission. I flow. like a sponge, I become aqueous when wiping blood or saliva. like a finger, I lose myself in rings of prints. I am the ography of space loosely tied to the end of a carrot. detach me from ice and I float to the other side of the island. I wave at ships passing night or day, captains drunk or sober, buoys clean or covered in mucky **** save me. I am losing my mind on these stairs crawling the ceiling, these riches made of paper, these children using liters of glue to stick themselves to each other. everyone is stuck. everyone is covered in barnacles. everyone is design on my pine tree’s needled hooves. a horse gallops four at a time. they name it “power” for the dreams it has of stormy women.

Muelle de Binondo Street, Barangay San Nicolas, Old Manila. My dad's fate Will always be muddled With nostalgia: The mid-afternoon Traffic of fruit vendors, The toothless strains Of my grandfather's voice, Bouncing off The warehouse walls Like folding cardboard, The ceramic gallops of horse- Drawn kalesas taking him From school to My grandfather's offices, Every day and back, Up and down The cardboard box river To Tondo. There, he hurriedly Buys ten Asado buns From a stall across the Street from their School - a voracious Schoolboy Forever late for class, forever Putting on basketball jerseys Too wide for him, Basketball shorts too Short; body Always too gangly, Too long-limbed, wide eyed And fleet footed For his dreams to catch. He once could dunk. He is still a baby boomer - Scared of firecrackers, Weird penchant For popped collar shirts, Pointed shoes, and Sequins - he, was an avid Lover of stars - his old Dust-strewn bed posts Giving way, I imagine, To iron bars caging The luminous starry night, Floating high above The sewage And the freight trucks That weigh him so. They sang to him. In the tune of My mother's voice - The only album He ever possessed. Song set from His favorite band. "Apo Hiking Society." His favorite word, Was "leap." A disciple Of MJ, Dr. J, And Magic, Samboy, and Jawo, Icarus on hardwood And leaping From the free throw line. "Son," he once told me, "You gotta leap "If you wanna live." He was always afraid of heights. It wasn't until 41 that We made him ride a roller-coaster, That he had even seen a roller-coaster. "You gotta leap "If you wanna live." I think my favorite Memory of my dad Is still him wringing my fingers At Space Mountain with Eyes so tightly shut That we forgot Our fears, And screamed instead: So. This, Is how the stars look like When unbolted By folding cardboard, And iron bars.

moon rises
Under the shade of weeping willow trees The air is filled with birdsong an anthem sweet and beautiful The soft sweet song of the bubbling creek The fragrance of honeysuckles drifts from the forgotten garden Where daffodils, violets, and many other flowers grow Mountains high and valleys low covered in the cloak of spring Hunter-green cedars and deep-green firs sway in the dancing breeze Even the lonesome desert and vast wilderness With its pretty sunrises and sunsets bears its own beauty Morning glories in the Enchanted Forest unfurl their soft sweet petals At Dusk when all are sleep Sunrays shining through the dew covered leaves of the majestic trees Waves wash onto the sea of time where lots of creatures live And where fishes and sea turtles peep up out of the ocean Where palm trees grow their lacy-green leaves providing shade for all Where rocky island cliffs hold treasures forgotten a long time ago When pirates hunted for gold Where old forgotten battleships are at the bottom of the ocean And the people on them long since dead. . . Pearls and treasures hidden from sight at the bottom of the ocean Where dolphins sleep and play ready to save some swimmer Sea-green coral and seaweed are pretty ocean plants Seashells at the very bottom of the ocean Seagulls sing to one another from the coconut trees and many other birds sing a Tropical anthem blending with the sweet perfume of hibiscus and a lone tropical girl Plays a sweet song on the ukulele And the horse gallops on the sandy shore happily enjoying his freedom And the world to all is beautiful Tropical sunsets blazing dark goldish- orange with the silhouettes of palm trees On the beautiful rocky island And the world is hushed to sleep with the tropical lullaby of the singing waves When the world awakes with dew the sweet hibiscus ~Marian~

real life fairytale
Surely I am dreaming about heart left in the theater of your ardent idolizing. Surely I am dreaming about your strands enveloping my cheek. Surely I am dreaming about day in impetuous snowstorms spent in your arms. Surely I am dreaming about rush of events that take place only in movies. Surely I am dreaming about body panting into oblivion of worldly pleasures. Surely I am dreaming about face flushed from compliments of lover. Surely I am dreaming about hectic rush to your awaiting hands. Surely I am dreaming about red roses protruding from corners of your sensitive hands. Surely I am dreaming about heat of caresses in boiling blood. Surely I am dreaming about book of poems about our first love. Surely I am dreaming about you dancing in the withered leaves. Surely I am dreaming about sighs at beauty of carnality. Surely I am dreaming about sensitive whispers of desires of melancholy hearts into ear . Surely I am dreaming because I did not send a telegram entitled "Looking for love". Surely I am dreaming because loneliness can not disappear like stone in water. Surely I am dreaming because the best dreams come in the morning. Surely I am dreaming because it is so difficult to find warmth of someone else's hand. Surely I am dreaming because thoughts gallops as steeds in the forest of wilderness. Surely I am dreaming because dawns wake me up in supplication for more and more of you. Surely I am dreaming because kingdom of your eyes staring at me can not last forever. Surely I am dreaming because I am senseless from blizzard of evening events. Surely I am dreaming because you can not find love in a café or bar. Surely I am dreaming because I departed a long time ago from the distant land of fulfilled wishes. Surely I am dreaming because flowers are handed to uncommon women. Surely I am dreaming because hidden secrets are revealed only to beloved. Surley I am dreaming because I did not have eyes half-closed in pleasure before. Surely I am dreaming.

The uneven bridge stretches on As calming waves sing a song My mind floats on ocean sounds While I rest in metal bounds The car gallops a gentle hop The waves crash a muted pop The window frames a silent view At my side the people bustle like a crew The view painted a gentle landscape The sun kisses the water at its nape I sight this show from a stage The bridge never flips the quiet page And as I approach the bridges end What awaits a rather sharp bend The journey only a minute long Entranced me with its calming song

The Bridge
On the sidewalk standing in the rain the old man is a wounded dove. Longish white hair: wet feathers grounded in a storm. The rain is heavy and repeats itself, like buckets of water thrown out of windows. The old man stands there holding a memory or a wish. Under the streetlight his wet hair glistens like tinfoil. The downpour is a creature that’s eating him up. Darkness projects from a deserted apartment building. The ground floor windows and doors are boarded, nailed shut. It appears dead, like an old disease, or stripped, like a despoiled tomb. Its bricks cracked and crumbled, wooden casings dry rotted and helpless. Painted in bold red across the boarded front entrance, a graffiti-message: Girls Rule. Looking back at the old man, he stands the way a king stands alone when doubting himself. Dark crawls around him. The old man stares at the building. He is motionless, in memory. Rain gallops over him. Inside the warmth of a café, my steaming coffee. Outside, the streets are laundered clean of everyone except for the old man who stares at the apartment building. Time has grown over his face and body, has grown over the broken down building. Now the rain is as heavy as mucus and with his tiny body the old man shuffles away into the dark and gradually disappears like a casket being covered with earth. _______________________________________ from my sixth book-length manuscript ©dah / dahlusion 2014 / 2015 all rights reserved "In Streetlight, His Wet Hair" was first published in 'Switch (the difference) Anthology' from 'Kind Of A Hurricane Press'

Soufflé light massages my eyes A cool oven breeze puts out the lies I am a Goner, no lives Lived this day as boredom gallops through. Its hooves are in need of a deep clean They don't allow the light to gleam. So the light lets off steam Horses halt, dragging thief feet in hope of defeating this power, wishing the paper would jam But the sun, though none the wiser, paints the walls and the faces. Cooks a most creative meal. Brings the stampede to a kneel.

---- Sometimes they take over The rhythms in your head Nuances of rhyme schemes The lines your muse has fed You want to use a smaller word Pontificate instead It gallops through your consciousness A wild horse - unlead! The hooves go on like thunder Upon the steed you ride Tearing up the page Pen in hand - astride You are without a bridle Legs grip the mustang's side He has his own way He is a beast with pride! No - he has no stable No - his blood flows wild! Fed grass of the planes He's restless as a child A stallion - yes! A bucking bronc! Unbroken - never mild! Get into his rhetoric He's always getting riled! Write like you're a MUSTANG! RIDE ON!!! You have no reins! Get into his rhythm The rhyme scheme is unstrained Your footing is unsure In uncertain terrains Playing echo chamber music Those cacophonous refrains Bust that bronc!!! He's waiting - Your own head unrestrained!!! SoulSurvivor (C) 5/19/2015

Write like a MUSTANG!
The sky lies on the horizon like a smoke-coloured cat draped over a sofa of heather, purple as pansies but sharper, scratching against boots and paws. It washes across the landscape in a swathe of paint, broken by breadcrumb rocks. Up here, the wind gallops, almost spins me round to face home again. Water framed by narrow paths like battlements, flicking onto grey stones and sand, smell of earth, damp air. Our path drops down like the side of a ship and the dog, ginger beacon in a sea of bog-grass, skids on his front paws. I shuffle sideways, crab steps slipping from mud to puddle.

Rye whiskey is my long lost lover. Though we break apart as I Enjoy the fruits of wine and bitter, In those dark hours of the morn I’ll return To that gold that tastes sweeter. We’ll meet again as old friends, And I’ll keep drinking it until the end. Rye whiskey is my long lost lover. Rye whiskey is my long lost lover. It heats the room in its glow, It makes the band sound sweeter And my baby sound softer While the drums of my heart beat louder. It takes all my troubles away And puts them in a corner for another day. Rye whiskey is my long lost lover. Rye whiskey is my long lost lover. It leaves me on the roadside To make my own way in the night, And chastises me in the morning When I didn’t kiss her goodnight. And in my dreams it flows through my head And gallops every moment when I’ve left my bed. Rye whiskey is my long lost lover.

Rye Whiskey Is My Long Lost Lover
He's part artist, part alchemist, but a full-on con, self-professed with post- graduate degrees in mixology and the god-given sense to know which smoldering home remedies will catch fire (give or take an occasional legal glitch). His healing pitch is grifted on the easy comparison of queasily lowered brows to their indistinctly raised betters. You'll doff the scoffing face as he pulls back a masking caparison, and your fever gallops hotly hoof-in-mouth with an uncontrollable itch. Tinctures, colloids, salves and potions, they all have twisty caps, blithe boxes bubbling over with hypnotic patterns fashioned to cure your urge to avoid his futility. First'll come the ****** then the crumple followed by purse strings loosening. Don't consider it capitulation. His assortment of fluid manipulations bear a singular branding at 100 proof, and after the recommended daily dosing (two jiggers with each meal), you'll feel you're **** erectus made sapient.

The Equestrian When we met We could and would Have a sunday brunch We ate **** word appetizers Before eruptions of love for our main course We conversed about ecstasy And drank tall glasses of progeny And picked morsels of fantasy Passed on the dessert Enough sweetness in wetness Salivate like rabid wolves Over the thought that your body brings me deepness I guess I'm in depth She straddles my imagination I saddled her provocation Learn the speed at which her mind gallops While We share our addictions Compare our afflictions Only to conclude we're of the same breed An option I could of If only I would of But knowing I should of Cause the timing is never right Not all heros ride into the sunset Not all villains would meet there demise Xin

THE EQUESTRIAN
Face in midnight morning like a fortune tellers crystal soul sparkles forth from her flow-- dragonfly wings aglow, stories float off the tongues from celestial waves of knowledge books only seen in etherial spaces sacred words drip from our pens & fingers-- energy courses gallops from cherry blossom lives to present we remember, we tend to flames throw names and pains & grains into the eyes of fire, heal with liquid life, float toward the light of the moon soon one mind doors red black & pine rocks silently slowly unwinding time toward consciousness nature love brain a warm Kali embrace a chilly Shiva cleanse..... ......... . ........... .. ......... ... ....... .... ..... .....

Beside me, in this unforgiving November’s winter, is she… My queen beside me, amidst this rotting debris gifted to me. Daphne, the comforter sent from the highest skies of Elysia And Daphne, my love, you put a stopper… on my withering Never did the sounding of a name, here, blossom a magnolia Daphne, yours made my hell, the eternal orchards of Elysia. We were betrothed to each other in here, in this wasteland I await; you at our wedding, in your wedding gown, oh… ‘Tis her, the beau sky wrapped around your gentle frame In your adornments, gifted from the agents of light, oh… They are sapphire stars plucked from that midnight blue On the edge of the Aegean sea, we await, in this wasteland I await; you at our wedding, in your veil and crown, oh… ‘Tis her, the clouds and her raindrops, adorning your face   I await our wedding waltz, in our deserted fields, oh… Without our kin, persecuted and orphaned by the world Alone we shall dance, on the edge of Ymos, our dwelling Alone we shall be in our vows when our eyes rain in joy I await your grand advent, beaming gleefully, towards me Bringing me, serenity; being my succour, with your smile I await your silhouette, irradiating the wide evening blue Bringing me, release; being my soother, now I live anew Daphne, your midnight blue eyes, your voice of mead… My pen fervently gallops for words, as I just gaze in awe   Let the sands of time tick away in joy, ticking, grain by grain The heavens merry till the penultimate hours of our union Now, in these salty Aegean waters, I taste honey and wine I await our pristine union; as your hand knots with mine. Beside me, in this unforgiving November’s winter, is you… Daphne…

We were betrothed to each other in here, in this wasteland I await; you at our wedding, in your wedding gown, oh… ‘Tis her, the beau sky wrapped around your gentle frame In your adornments, gifted from the agents of light, oh… They are sapphire stars plucked from that midnight blue On the edge of the Aegean sea, we await, in this wasteland I await; you at our wedding, in your veil and crown, oh… ‘Tis her, the clouds and her raindrops, adorning your face   I await our wedding waltz, in our deserted fields, oh… Without our kin, persecuted and orphaned by the world Alone we shall dance, on the edge of Ymos, our dwelling Alone we shall be in our vows when our eyes rain in joy I await your grand advent, beaming gleefully, towards me Bringing me, serenity; being my succour, with your smile I await your silhouette, irradiating the wide evening blue Bringing me, release; being my soother, now I live anew Daphne, your midnight blue eyes, your voice of mead… My pen fervently gallops for words, as I just gaze in awe   Let the sands of time tick away in joy, ticking, grain by grain The heavens merry till the penultimate hours of our union Now, in these salty Aegean waters, I taste honey and wine I await our pristine union; as your hand knots with mine. Beside me, in this unforgiving November’s winter, is you… Daphne…

midnight black arabian prince, his neck, impressed by the wired fence holding him back forever from the woman of his dreams. dark horse they came for him in the evening soft, dimming sunlight grazed his eyes an endurance horse, for one hundred miles they wanted him but he was lazy his inclination was to stand still to stroll slowly about a green pasture forevermore forevermore, his dream, spent on his own name. he fell in love with the mare on the other side of the wired fence she teased him, an older woman, awakened his rebel soul, inspired to break out of this arbitrary cage his courage and his passion only roused by love by desire something a human would not understand could not understand not in the same way he felt alone he felt trapped inside himself so he tore down the fence, cut his legs on the wires just to be close to her to brush his nose against her sharpened spine, inhale the scent of dust mixed with love mixed with pheromones, for only a moment that could extend into forever encapsulated in his memory a snapshot: one piece of chaotic bliss amidst all that running the flying floating cloud of dust still chases him. though he no longer runs in fear no longer gallops away, lazily trots, hooves dragging sand, happy under his bold, italian rider she doesn’t come around often enough. today he is young but soon he will be aged by experience, wherever they send him, he has no real home, only belongs to the night sky, only matches the color of darkness, i hope he remembers the way i tickled his lips and fed him handfuls of dead grass. he could be gone tomorrow because animals do not choose their homes anymore.

He rolls out of bed He drops out of his rack He puts on his armour He zips on his flight suit He buckles his spurs He laces his boots He grabs his longsword He grabs his helmet And walks out to the stable And walks up to the flight deck To his steed To his plane He saddles the beast He pre-flights the beast Mounts Gets in Rears up Kicks in full burners And gallops forward And takes a cat shot Lowering his lance Arming his missles and guns He looks for dragons to slay He looks for dragons to slay

Slaying Dragons
Its been a sad day The skies are a murky grey You had wished to be solitary Into the forest you'd gone, involuntarily. You walk along the forest trail Looking about at the leafy veil When suddenly, you turn to see A deer overcome with glee The deer dances and gallops around It's winter coat flies as it bounds Why it's so happy? You haven't a clue But suddenly you don't feel so blue You turn around and head back home But the deer to you it seems to roam You gaze into its brown doe eyes, And through its eyes, you see the skies. The stars, the moon, the trees, too! They're all looking down at you. They seem to beckon, they seem to call For you to look up at them all. You close your eyes, lay yourself to rest. and wake up in your bed, feeling your best. You sit up and find, it was all a dream. But you seem to know just what it means.

Deersteps
She stops before the glimmering mirror, falters and prepares. Gangly and awkward, Legs unfolding, leaning forward she drinks. A slender skyscraper gallops, sashaying. A wet bud uncurls and blooms. Winding, uncoiling, plucks a leaf. Enchanting daughter of heights: Embraced by the clouds, Smooching the stars. Towering sky-queen, ossicones her russet crown. Bronzed cloak, auburn jewels. From protuberant knees to shadowy lashes, a lofty leader, willowy wanderer.

The Giraffe: a gentle giant
She who stands there, he who leads, Are One to which my praises plead. I ask of you such great forgiveness, Your face shines bright, your image livid. Grey spots upon the Holy Moon, Form your bust, to it I croon, I ask again; whisper, pray and plead, Show me a sign from sacred steed! I toot my Gudi, crash the Gong, And cry for Cheon-A-Ma-Chong; I play my series in metered eights, in line with movements of the greats. I plot their paths in sky you see? Your eight movements, Eight hooves in cleats! You breathe out the fire of the Sun, Head held high at night as one, The Zodiac your wings as such, And planets, the hooves, a final touch. Fires issue from your mouth, Burn up the sea-water in the south… Heavenly I hear your roaring, and the fullness of your glory, Your starry eyes the flux of sea; as you swim the depths and round the tree. Whose skull we hooked once I reminisce, Terrible creature from the Abyss; Oh Horse my love, construct of mind, and she who gallops for all time, ...measures for the heaven’s seat, Sets placement of all deities, To you I fall upon my knees, Hippolytian by decree, Take me! -take me to your Cosmic Sea!
