Mark A. Williams                             SEPTEMBER 14, 1962 – JULY 23, 2018 ___________________________________________________________ Wow Mark, Was so, so saddened to hear this news. I haven't seen you in over ten years, but as kids, we had some amazing adventures, didn't we? Partying, camping and swimming at the Hudson lime pits. Mowing down on Pizza and pitchers of Pepsi (and as we grew up, BEER!) at Pizza Hut. (We knew the numbers to ALL the songs on that jukebox by heart!) Hanging out and looking at the stars through Budvido's telescope, listening to Doctor Demento. Laughing hysterically as we ran through Monty Python skits as everyone looked on in total puzzlement because THEY wouldn't discover them until YEARS later! Building underground forts in the North Woods. You, Budvido, Zeke and I playing pinball at 7-11 for hours and hours. Watching Bands, chasing girls and playing Foosball or Pool at the Touch of Class Teen Club. You gave me my first Imported beer . . . a Lowenbrau. I will always owe my passion for those German beers to you and it was fitting that Budvido bestowed you with that moniker. All through Jr. High, sharing a seat on the school bus. You, Matt, Tom, Buddy and I cruising around late night on our bikes for hours. Hanging around in the Jasmine Lakes sign with hijacked beer or getting free bags of Burgers from Burger Queen when they closed at night! Jousting with shopping carts on our bikes in the Winn-Dixie parking lot. Sitting up all night in Jimi's room after climbing in through the window or going on endless space cruises with him and Raymond in the Toyota. (RIP Jimi Carlsen) Sneaking into the nudest Colony and skinny dipping! Always cracking up at the school lunch table. Swimming in my pool and terrorizing my sister and her friends. (Allegedly) Trashing that crook Fast Eddie's produce stand after he refused to pay us for a full day of picking watermelons! Good times, indeed . . . Some of my most precious memories. I can only pray that you know that I wouldn't trade my youth or you in it for anything in the world and you will be sadly missed, Lowenbrau, my old friend. I hope that where you are, your beers are ice cold and that you and Jimi aren't having to glue the Hookah back together. Jeff Gaines July 28, 2018

Whispers hello as the first streams of sunlight inch their way in through their black chiffon veil, gleaming on our garden of stale breath, and down feathers. Whispers goodnight as his proud freckles become the constellations outside my window, and the moon stretches her arms for another night's work. Whispers sorry after his words became feather-lances jousting through my arguments until my armor was askew and torn at its paper seams. Whispers tales of tomorrows and fortnights to come under illusions of rich greens, blues, and yellows he will finger paint on my forehead like a warrior. Whispers goodbyes, sweet and forlorn, as he realizes promises and paints will not keep the morning from snatching his prized possession from his cotton laced roost, leaving him alone with just the rays of the sun to admire his tail.

raw ******* thumbs drawing open the canvas of cavities hot stink, tangles of pink wrinkles, ground turkey and beef pulse of the earth in the groan of the springs as the sequence of spirits inhabits a lopsided carpet of blood, cardiovascular, creation, crawling pineapple sweat, ******* neck licking saliva stains, flesh slapping, teeth jousting, chins grinding explosions, eruptions, screaming, biting, clutching the rim, apocalypse, APOCALYPSE, the guilty apocalypse

The young and bold Sir Lancelot Had shunned the lady of Shalott And all the swooning maidens, dear. His heart belonged to Guinevere. And were she not to Arthur, wed, She'd have the heart-sick knight instead. But so it goes, such is the luck Of sad sir Lancelot du Lac. When first he came to Camelot The orphan knight, Sir Lancelot Did prove his worth to Arthur's Court In jousting, and such noble sport And with his charm and courtly grace, His confidence and handsome face, He won the heart of Guinevere, And so he found his heart's one fear. But so it goes, such is the luck Of sad Sir Lancelot du Lac. In tournaments and deeds of arms, He never fell to earthly harms. His Lady's scarf about his breast, He held aloft his knightly chest And for her honor always strove, And worshiped her with courtly love. But she is wed, such is the luck Of sad Sir Lancelot du Lac. Beneath a tree, the young knight slept And one day, four queens on him crept, The chief of them, Morgan Le Fay. With magic, they stole him away. A choice they begged of him to make, That one of them his heart should take. But love is strong. They had no luck In tempting Lancelot du Lac. When Melegans stole Guinevere A cart, Sir Lancelot did steer To reach the hold where she was kept, Then toward the treacherous knight he leapt. He bested him with slash and blow, But to Sir Lancelot's great woe His Lady simply laughed in jest And saw no honor in his quest, For he arrived upon a cart. Thus, broken was the young knight's heart, And in a rage he left the place. He longed just for his Lady's grace. But so it goes, such is the luck Of sad Sir Lancelot du Lac. The young and bold Sir Lancelot Had shunned the lady of Shalott And all the swooning maidens, dear. His heart belonged to Guinevere. And were she not to Arthur, wed, She'd have the heart-sick knight instead. But so it goes, such is the luck Of sad Sir Lancelot du Lac. So when he quested for the Grail He made a promise he would fail. He said he'd not love Guinevere, But as he spoke, he shed a tear. He knew one day their love would end The table round, and hurt their friends. So when this promise he did break The land of Camelot did quake. For Agrivan, King Arthur, told His wife did love Lancelot bold And Arthur sent her to the pyre To end her sinful love, in fire. But Lancelot, his queen, did save And Arthur fell into the grave And all the knights of Table Round Were torn apart, could not be bound. And thus the fall of Camelot Was caused by one Sir Lancelot. But so it goes, such is the luck Of bold Sir Lancelot du Lac.

Hear ye, hear ye hearken from the medieval times of old where knights in the round once roamed jousting with deeds fought in truth and honor to protect the weak, the helpless, the oppressed with an ideology lurking since the dawn of time that all are born free, unshackled from contrived ordeals only to soar high with the eagles to become one with the heavens and bask in the glory of serving the frailty and holiness of mankind Hear ye, hear ye it’s Merlin conjuring a magical spell for the spirit to behold, to marvel, new stages of self-enlightenment where the essence of the King invades sleeping visions possibly foretelling ominous events awaiting new missions or predestined journeys one must endure to become so bold in knowledge and wisdom offered, living in this world’s mold not necessarily realized, instead shrouded with unimpeded urges akin to the signs found in youth, immaturity, the close-minded Hear ye, hear ye the quest to sip from the Carpenter’s silver chalice and taste charitable love for family, friends, and foes where reckless pride and hatred are speared with the arrow forged in devotion of a noble belief, tempered with selfless feats where the sun rises and sets on the wicked actions of human nature slaughtering the divine lights prematurely, locked within many souls yet crusades against evil continues, no retreat, no regrets, no surrender price to uphold the spirit of Camelot, payment in full, services rendered.

In Search of Camelot
Partly darkened and part in light A time when the stars and sun shared the sky Bear witness to two behemoths wielding might Impending clash foreseen to go awry Two trains of thoughts charging from opposite ends Each bearing their own solid ideals Their flags that flew with conflicting brands Convictions they carry on beaten, weary wheels Almost an eternity, the time is soon Seconds lasted before they finally would meet Feeling of dread like the cloud covered moon With war cries of whistles, they would greet No possible way that they could miss War waged in steeled wills and forged metals Anticipate the moment, their couplings would kiss Unleashing a barrage of predestined reprisals Sheer destruction as they ate into each other All in tow haphazardly derailed A clash made of brute strength and power A result of when decisiveness had failed All was motionless save for the light of day The two lay dead; spent currencies in coal Fire and smoke had emerged from the fray Signifying that the two have met their goal Their cargo now freed, engaging in petty skirmish Lunging and wrestling as they fought for dominance Determination to overwhelm; never to languish Jousting fists fueled by pent-up vengeance Almost at end this long drawn battle Much like a storm to be patiently ridden out When the last of the debris should settle Then would be lifted the dusty veil of doubt The sun has now risen revealing the aftermath Shedding light on the devastation incurred Dark thoughts possess the most potent of wraths But nothing could beat the muscle of the written word Looking back I've realised the harm I've caused Found great solace in the dark words I've governed Life still hurls; it can never be paused Just dust yourself off for you're better off enlightened

Like modern day knights we muster around a table. We don’t wear shiny armour we wear suits that are 50% polyester 50% rayon. Our jousting poles are have been replaced with nervously bitten biros, and on a fuzzy screen the MD appears speaking from a country where the currency is colourful but ultimately worthless. His voice is delayed giving and talks of mergers, leverage & buy outs. But I fade out like a ghost image in a propaganda film, doodling hieroglyphics on a pad. From the window I see workmen digging a hole and I wonder will they ever reach China?

Across this Height from the Land of Swell Tea The Second Great Angel offers her Palm Waving, for Frustration to leave me be And guide the Wildman to induce his Calm No affront passed for Virtue to behave When some cry the Vandal for no reason He comes to charge; But out defends the Knave, Jousting him off for another Good Season In you the Friendly Pearl forms; And no doubt, This lingering Fever affects most Girls But like your Seven stood still on a Cloud, Yet keeps the Spell for Good Passion to burn. Lucky Dear Dame, such Title you will bear Enjoy your Earnings; Your Man is now there.

SONNET TRIBUTE: DILARA WIJETUNGE
I’m fighting a ************* battle The devil’s on my shoulder Whispering to me like the sharp whistling breeze before a storm Revenge seduces my mind A true salesman Giving his final pitch before he takes all that you have Karma, you devious woman Pass me the baton So that I can pay a visit to the unprincipled ***** But then there’s the angel – so ethereal, so divine You penetrate my mind like a sword piercing an enemy’s heart With your unclouded light tickling my judgement The darkness and the bright Jousting at each other in barbarous combat Both hungry for the win Victory is yet to be claimed... sa 27.9.18

Revenge or not?
I wish I could use words the way a woman can Not struggling to let go of each one But pouring them out like water A smooth steady stream to comfort others or herself A raging torrent to wear away the most recalcitrant earthen lump A sudden drenching that dumbfounds the dignity of the pompous A steady drip that will break the coldness of self serving reason The pretty, witty music that entices one to dance The shrewish cackling mockery that makes you feel you’ve got no chance The calm murmur that can reach the loneliest, most troubled soul The endless seeming wittering that will always have its goal Or perhaps her words don’t mean anything at all They just break the surface of previously parched land Making little bubbles that pop before they’re seen With a puff of freshly made air The tiny gasp with which life can begin And even when she’s silent and alone The words will not stop Going round and round her head until someone can be told Pressing to express her joy and stress The wild life she struggles to control The dear words she wants to give with love Which may escape to wreak revenge or savage the innocent Which may be used against her by ruthless charmers With echoes of what she wants to hear or damaging quotes Of things she said but no longer feels or means So sometimes even the best of women may feel defeat Beaten by words she said that have been ignored Or twisted till the love has been choked out of them And they come back to haunt her, weary little beasts That she must contain all over again, even though she knows That soon they and the thoughts they hold will return to demanding life And she that was once their mistress will become their slave And that is why though talking with women has been one of the great joys of my life Though I love the verbal jousting and respect a sound tongue lashing I still hope and dream of the time when the woman I love and I May be together in wordless peace Comfortable enough with each other not to speak Knowing that the immensity of silence Is easily filled by our mutual love.

it is great to be well away from those jousting women all they ever do is throw verbal bombs at each other that seems to be their field of play several nasty shots were fired tonight which wasn't a very pretty scene the ladies got into the boxing ring which did disturb some of the folk a resolution to their feud is looking rather remote a mediator may need to be called in someone with Kissinger negotiation skills peace may then be bought about

I asked time to pause when our breathes were jousting millimeters away I asked time to pause when you landed your lips on mine, warming the cold chaps of distance I asked time to pause when you cupped my face instilling all sense of security with 3 words "i am here"

My cat likes poetry She listens attentively to my recitations I think she might write poetry I heard her staring outside longingly Purring mightily, grooving Transfigured in the morning sun Her stripes a kaleidoscope of yellows and grays Keen green eyes on high alert With flashing intensity through the sliding glass door Jousting with the mockingbird swooping to peck her head on the patio Rolling in the catnip bed in triumph That’s the poem she composes In the throes of poetic excitement Inspired by wish and instinct

My cat writes poetry.
From my Dark Watcher Series; A heart carries a shield, which to hold at bay, the demons of the night, that want to play. Warding off the tears, that joins the game, with feelings of hate, giving birth to shame. Swords drawn, the duel begins once more, sheathes of angry words, slamming doors. Ruthless sparring that cuts to the soul, their points dipped in poison, take their toll. Lethal cuts, rivers of tears that run red, through gouged cliffs of unknown dread. Spiteful jousting of controlling speeds, that ****** deep, to finish the fateful deed. Kathleen Kohl/Levinski

A Shielded Heart
The wind charm perched outside sitting still, No breath to move it, stagnant As if Rigor mortis Morbidity Death Had touched the air, inside he sat, Tears streaming from his reddened eyes, "Such beautiful music, The log fire burned intensely , inside were his branding irons, He had many in his holder, all sitting neatly, Stifled noise whimpered near by. "Time ages many things, many things, "But bone is a music that sings beautifully, The white metal was ripe for the flesh, as the Duck tape peeled slowly, then ripped As blood spots seeped from skin vandalised And he recorded every tone that sang forth, "You are A+ grade my, my, the music we will make, "Plunged into the  torso slowly, Not wanting to not damage, that Delicate, Exquisite, Fusion Of bones that graced the air, Screams echoing throughout the cabin, Reverberating like a concerto on the senses. He puts his headphones on, and with blade Sharpened to its full potential, As if a conductor waving it through the air. With precision he cut, and recorded till silence fell. Flesh was limp on the floor unwanted, " Meat for the hounds I think, As the heart still, faint essence of life's beat clinging, Thrown to the awaiting dogs. "Eat your heart out, (He giggles smiling to himself) The bone now cleansed of life, Blood, Muscle, Marrow Expunged from the host, till hollow then Maliciously worn down to the tune of each, till The silence breathed out. Each one was unique, Having its own sound of death, I heard the gesture of breath upon my master piece Dangling, Swaying, Hanging Life taken but the voices sing out, I close my eyes and listen as wind kisses each hollow And the music of death sings out, each made from Only one never a mixture, as corrupted Would the sound get two souls  jousting Over the voices expelled with winds gesturing them out. I sell these pieces to those enticed by deaths voice Hollowed out life, given purpose in silence   I sit in my chair the brands all in there place. Tears form as the orchestra of screams scratch Deep within his soul, The wind speaks to those bones hanging outside.

*Cruel Summer It’s a long cruel summer since you’ve been gone; starless skies greet dreamless nights and shadows eat my sight. I thought it would be easy not ever seeing you, but everything I do calls me to unsaid words unwritten unspoken in many colors, but mostly blue. ~~~ Life is mostly hard, filled with pain abuse that makes no sense and leaves us hollow sometimes. Whether it’s at the hands of those who raise us, or the one who promises to love us forever. And worse, we sometimes lose the ones we love the most- gone like mourning dew on a warm summer’s day. ~~~ I know all this, honestly I do. Yet I never thought it was you I would lose. Don’t ask me why I can not explain my Daliesque dream that you would remain. Perhaps it was my penchant at windmill jousting; or reading too much into Cervantes’ and his chivalrous Dulcinea desires that imaged you dancing from chandeliers or around those gypsy fires on cool spring nights; teasing me into submission and confessing my “sins” of falling for you. I have no words or rationale for any of this. I just know it’s a long cruel summer since you’ve been gone, leaving me all alone. ~~~ Maybe today, while it’s sunny and warm, I can find my sanity, the rationale to get out on my own and sing some silly 80's songs. Aztec Warrior/redzone 6.26.16*

Cruel Summer
The shiny sun of high summer darkens his flesh He's a tall heroic frame of lust Who reeks of *** and musky confidence A powerful aftershave to stick to my skin His smile so wide, his teeth so perfect, no stains to hide His jaw so powerful from biting necks His skin so smooth, like black velvet Creamy like black tar Shoulders so broad and easy to hold Let me lick that dip between your collarbone. And pull all that hair that's grown Curly black and matted to your scalp Until the night has come Until midnight is late.

Jousting
As the line between our private lives, & the public eye blurs, all the old paradigms dissolve, & nothing becomes as it was before, only a few months more, to get this riddle solved, feeling like The Batman The Joker, & Lois Lane all rolled in one, my new name is Nigiri, on a roll hot like wasabi, my threads are all designer, & my hobbies are all hobbies, I am definitely not sure at all, well at least definitely not probably, babbling’ with talking heads, while jousting with the walking dead, because we’re up right now up right now, that's right the life of the party, & you all probably already know all this, because the whole time was Live recording, Instagram Live Streaming all the time, I'm dreaming at the same time touring, every moment recorded, even when it's not at all important, off script but don't trip, because we're still part of the program, so before I even wake up, you already know the whole thing, you already know what happened, the night before the morning, the Knight Before The Mourning, sounds a bit prolific & prophetic, at least a little bit don’t you think, but what’s it matter the least little bit, if no one takes the time to think, they’re just getting their nails done, in the salon in the bottom of the boat, as it sinks & we just think, “Well I hope at least the lifeboat floats”, in a bit of a panic, like Leo in the Titanic, searching for my romantic Winslet, before we both sink in this disaster, see I see you drowning in this sea, & I still love you even after everything, so I swim over & my hand I outreach, hoping you'll grab hold before you sink, so I can backstroke with you on my back, & swim us both to an island beach, specifically Leo's island, you know the one Blackadore Caye, he actually asked me to run the island, said it was just a bunch of palm trees, & I know this is reality, even though it all feels like a dream, so I close my eyes pray for better times, then open my eyes to focus & blink, blink, blink, blink, blink, the camera is always on, the recording is always running, this is layer cake no this is pound cake, no this is the first ring around the onion, onions in the sink, got my eyes running made me think, turned the water off got a wash cloth, then took a moment to blink, blink, blink, blink, blink, as the line between our private lives, & the public eye blurs, all the old paradigms dissolve, & nothing becomes as it was before, only a few months more, to get this riddle solved, feeling like The Batman The Joker, & Lois Lane all rolled in one, ∆ LaLux ∆ from The Sydney Sessions the follow up from multiple # best selling author Aaron Lux new book available for FREE here: https://www.scribd.com/document/367036005/The-Sydney-Sessions-12-Steps

Road of peace The tranquil poverty of my soul . Seeking an atonement for the souls of the dead on smoking paths . Whispered words drift into the tidal coves of imagination. Infinitely sad the lost echo of the echo. A wrecked angel of honor lost . With a blade forged in the fires of disturbing experiences . Through the noises of trying to be quiet . Lost in you in the shattered rain I will be your Captain . Captain of the side channels the spaces between the lines of the slow dreams . She was one who would be reborn in a vibrant silence . An unpredictable ebb and flow of rolling thunder and eerie stillness. A paradise reeking of hidden meanings . Jousting between the waves and the timberlands was the almighty quiet verb .

Road Of Peace
Look I know you bound me Set a veil all around me And it’s quite astounding How I’ve been sounding My heart starts pounding Can’t breathe like I’m drowning I need Solid grounding If only time was allowing In this rebirth I’m crowning Smiling while she’s still frowning I need to run from her hounding I’m so tired of jousting The straight line I was following is rounding I keep running no matter what the sidelines are shouting I can almost hear the crumbles of the walls around me crowding

ouch
This marble pedestal, that has me so high up like an extraterrestrial, is causing a lack of oxygen my thoughts drift from neurons to the tip of my pen so many questions without answers so many things giving me cancer my own thoughts jousting after the sting of a friend's syllables even though I try and be gold they still hold me up push me to the clouds where I will die for want of air but if I jump down I drown

Pedestal
barely it was swaying terrifically in cotton wind of sharp niggling wafers that flummox specially the growling infant sea, this lake, where i am by and satting with my soft particular femme who's metal slithers from her very roundest nostrils glinting rather unobtrusive and stubbornly silver. and jousting by in meager dollops college children blatantly. a basic scent of nonsense huddles on the 2's and 3's (or mayhaps more) they slant upon the dappled lazy soil reticent and uncouthly tread upon with flats little souls. their heads are fat with gullible churning knowledge. they farted from the dusted books. that stately chord of mugging music. that lays in bricks and mortared sighs. on the hillest of tops over looking the cordial bay.

The party tonight should be good I wonder if you'll be there No, probably not What's this fly doing in here? I wonder what purpose a fly serves. Does he know he'll die in 24 hours? I hope so. The sound of this washing machine is rhythmic 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, See, dirt, no, more, Fresh, clean, for, me 1, 2, 3, 4... Where's the five? A five should be here *why is there no god **** five?* Oh well, back to the poem... 1, 2, 3, 4... Are you thinking of me? Do you miss me as much as I miss you? I wonder if you'll just appear under the strobe lights So I can make your face out Through the screen of hallucination Tonight 1, 2, 3, 4 This fly is still here I hope he tries jousting with the ceiling fan 1, 2, 3, 4, My, heart, is, torn, Walk, through, my, door, 1, 2, 3, 4 I, am, so, high, Lo-sing, my, mind 1, 2, 3, 4...

1, 2, 3, 4
Face to Face nose to nose jousting breaths teasing every sense in their bodies Lips close but not quite, so much to say yet silence inhibited all sense of speech His hands slid sensually up and down her spine strumming seductive moans she was his cello and he, her cellist conducting a symphony that she and only she can excel at Jousting breaths high moans tender touches skin on skin it's just ethereal

Music of Me and You
We turn the corner as we walk to our rooms, When we see a figure at the end of the hall. We think that they will turn to the stairs soon, But we find that this isn't true at all. The closer we become, the more awkward it gets. We try to play it cool and look at our phones, Knowing full well, we don't have no texts. We think "It'd be better if I weren't alone." When all of a sudden, as we walk even closer, We remember the fountain; a savior at last! Now we can end this jousting match with this poser. And just act like we're thirsty real fast. "I'll just drink here and wait for them to pass. While in the small hallway, they have to walk around my ***
