Sure, the Huns may be stronger, faster, But I’ll tell you first, it’s not disaster. They may be fearless, vice-less, And the stakes this day are priceless. That must weigh heavy on your mind, And it might away at your spirits grind. It makes your heart burn, your blood race, But on this day, they will be erased. They come, by day, by night, To conquer us and flex their might. Tonight, we’ll break their endless siege, Perhaps we’ll **** their liege! Let the sun blot with countless arrow, They fly like the chattering sparrow. Perhaps most will simply miss, And you shall brave the wooden blitz. That one, slash his head from his shoulder! Watch it fall off like a fleshed-out boulder; That’s it, keep riding, they’re already breaking! Your wives will, on your return, be waiting. Go back to hell from whence you came! Of the besiegers, we’ve killed and maimed! Haha, look at them run, back to their mothers; Keep them running for a hundred summers!

Bravery
My friend Amelia (real name, of course, redacted) is something of a pained Ophelia. The play's the thing, the part brilliantly acted; She stands alone by Hamlet's side, She sighs and moans and pouts and pines, and waits for him to be attracted. But Hamlet I know; He's a friend of mine, and for her heart, he doesn't pine. He's out to solve his father's ****** Let him go, Ophelia. It's all right. He won't be dissuaded by your ardour; your love won't keep him long distracted. Senpai; My Liege; it all rings far more familiar than it aught. "Notice me!" "Notice me!" or then again...                            not.

My sweetest soldier left me and was dragged across the sea My nights are now silent and my heart is drowned with fear So, here I cannot stand to be Through weary nights I held my guard 'till the stars came out to torment me For, all the beauty of the night was now forever marred My heart trembled with the candlelight So I went to seek her chambers,but all was locked and barred Even whispered words from my dear soldiers could do little to ease my fright I wrote letters to my sweetest knight with sparkling, savage fury I fought sleep away with every ounce of my might Too soon, my hands and eyes grew weary I filled my pages with stories of beasts we would nevermore fight my eyes where too full of tears so I could not see clearly I've lost my dearest companion and the bringer of my light She sent letters back,of course, and they were wept over with many a tear For a day, sprigs of goldenrod adorned my collar bright for a day, at least, I forgot to think of fear Then I had dreams of feathered serpents wrapped around her throat her eyes were scratched out by hoary hell-kites and her heart was pierced with a spear All my daylight hours, and all my nighttime too, to my knight I did devote We continued writing letters and I lead my soldiers too no one ever asked of what this did denote 'till fever caught me by my throat and threw my mind askew My hands shook too violently and ink had streaked my page In my letters, I tried so hard to have my pain seem subdued My dear light-bringer needn't fear a fever's shallow rage She saw through my ruse too quickly and I think she panicked more I tried to calm her with winged words and locks of sage I promised her there was a cure My dreams were fueled by fire and the darkness lurking there when I woke I fell sobbing to the freezing floor She would have gathered me in her arms and kept me in her care Beasts and berserkers set my night under siege I could only see my sweetest knight scarred by bloodless warfare Her spirit fell to the mercy of my new-found, thankless liege My throat was streaked with clawing pain cups of water I did beseech bitter liquid assailed my body and bound my fate with chains I saw my sweetest soldier and her hands skimmed through my hair Her eyes shined like pearls which I hoped she would retain Her kisses on my cheeks were so radiant and rare I knew then never would we be apart and in my chambers with the firelight there I could rest with the keeper of my heart

The Treasure of Want
(work in progress) (Our souls are under construction) or (Our souls are under siege) There is no bravery There is no liege There is a plan There is a map But a lot of it is utter crap Some can see the vision Some can grasp the mission Some can only be convinced by collusion Some only by conditions of sedition Mind the business Mind the people Mind the selling Mind the buying But if you mind the cash flow you will know that that's the only thing to mind when you grow -- or -- Mind the business and the people Mind the selling and the buying Mind the ...

Under construction
In a frenzy of exultation, I found my submissive prostrating before your dominance, considering you a master entwining under the spirals of your manliness. I feel that I should sing the psalms of your manhood to dangle my soul to your body and your soul to mine prairie of captivity welcoming me via an orifice of your supremacy.

My liege
Dear, Pa – it’s your once-son Danny – or better known as Sandy, or Annie or; Ann-Marie and to some folks on 19th Street, I’m known as a sinner, a ****** My life is a movie, like a catwalk model; and I play a very special person, who’s got no-one to lean on, no mommy to hold, and; Wait, I know her. She’s familiar to me like, I’ve known her since the beginning of time, but right now, in physical form, she stands in front of me in the; mirror, Pa. Yes, I am her reflection, no I mean she’s my reflection and I realize that; all along, this whole time, I told myself a big-fat lie; as a child, hatred and anger were the tears I cried. So – this one’s for you, my king, my liege; this one’s the promise that we’ll keep; this one’s the bond between our sheets; but this one’s the one that’ll point at you; before I lift the middle one, to say, ***** You!” But hey, Pa – here I am. A woman, not a man. A bonafide, sophisticated lady in minx with, real diamond earrings and fierce wings; those nails, my nose and my lips – make me feel like I’ve power at my fingertips. Tonight is my show – it’s my time to shine. And I’m going to **** it like I know I can – so thank you Pa, and thank you, ma’am. For giving me the strength to be who I am.

WEGE DER SENSUECHTIGKEIT II
I don’t bow to money,   I don’t bow to fame I kneel to that one thing,   that time cannot change I don’t speak for right,   and won’t speak for wrong My liege is the truth,   all court jesters gone I don’t hope to be knighted,   my shield more concave And rejecting all title,   the past still enslaved My will lay unbroken,   my heart for a throne A crown jeweled with memory —all scepters disowned (Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)

All Scepters Disowned
Effaced, with myself removed from yesterday I can think without unyielding pressures ******* my heels. "It's always hardest the first time, the first day" someone said. Maybe it's true? I think repetition is getting to me, so I must give liege to liberty.

Holding Court
Dearest My Lord. please to read this missive not with haste but in serious thought. Come Sire, and view such unholy state to which thou hast brought me at being with child and of hearing lately of thy touring intent mine heart starteth in great alarm, as I indisposed must know for sure that thou be not going away. Fie upon that scheme mine Liege for thou hast in me fathered a babe. Thou shouldest stay, and embrace mine own confinement to disgrace, whereby the infant will bear no name and wouldst thou abandon me to this fate prithee have pity on offspring shame. Pray marry me do, thou canst not afford to blacken my name by seeing the truth and fleeing abroad and thus relinquish thy parenthood destiny. I belong only to thee so do not ill-use me. Thou sought  thy way, now takest thou mine for without thy support I must surely decline. Thus thou ought to realize I live in frightful dread unless on thee I rely. This heart beateth only for thine say I. Thou hast undone me so prithee consider direst consequence, face thy conscience and beside me do stay. I remain heavy with anticipation lest thy reply dashes all trust and quill thee therefore to think my Lord on resolving such trouble as of utmost importance. Sent in the month of September 1709. From Mary Elizabeth, distraughtly thine.

Trouble.
When you think the battle's ever won By hundred spear, sword, or gun In slashing, pillaged mortal right Come together, for now we fight Think not upon your mortal dread Will fail you even when you're dead The battle will for ever clatter on Praised in joyous kinds of song By gruesome men in drunken seige The fight for the end is your liege Not your pitiless sacred stone Or the loved one left back home But to fall upon the largest stage The coming of the end of days Honor and sacrifice is what will tell The lasting sequence, the final bell So stop ye now your idle chatter Sharpen that what really matters Try to remember what was done The Sword, the Spear, or Gun.

Valhalla
Come to me, Oh look and see, Please tell me that I don't belong. To this place, O' to this world, To this situation I hath rote. But negative, Nay I say, Tis a situation so grand, That it can be only sung out in the tongue of yore, For it is only the most noble of mantles, Of Fatherhood's door I adorn. It shall be I, I be armed with simple tools, A fresh ***** or bottle, To assuage my young liege lord's woes, For betwixt the soggy ure or rancid scitan, I dread knowing such knowledge, But my sacred duties of ****** I shan't ignore. So for now, Oh humble bards and wanderers, Listen to this tale no more, Create such joy and celebration, For upon this day, My Firstborn son is born.

An ode to future soiled diapers
I want someone to help me remember the day again, I want someone to wake me up with a tickling to the chin, and say, 'get out of bed, lazy head' and when my son runs in, pulls back the covers and shouts 'next stop, the seaside' I want someone to make me laugh, and see me when i am not laughing, when i cannot laugh, for there are tears that need to be bled from my mind, like blood from a rock. I want someone to drive with me to the places i love best, and hold my hand because pieces of me are falling apart, and i am an old weather, rusted, old painted house waiting to fall down, when someone slams a door. I want someone to hold me in their arms, hold me so hard, so fast, so ****** hard that my arms will bruise and i will cry with how my heart beats so scared with being held, that it wishes to burst open, and free the hurricane inside. I want someone to help me remember how to smile, and when i am not smiling i am laughing, and when i am not laughing, you are filling in the words to the old 80's ballads, i forget the words to. I want someone to be here, to be right ****** here, I want someone to move mountains and sink ships, and drag me back from falling off the edge, and say 'I love you, I love you, I love you' with tears in their eyes, that they want to drown in should i not believe them. I want someone to make sure they know, i know, they know what they are doing, because when i am so ****** lost and lonely, no-one can tell what i might do, except i don't because i don't, why would i? But they take me and hold me anyways. I want someone to whisper in my ear, 'it's ok i got this' when i need a hand to hold me I want someone to say 'listen the birds are chirping and you may never get another moment in your entire life to hear this sound, like this ever again' I want someone to ask me what book i am reading, and watch my face as i turn into princesses, and damsels and toads, and stallions on which princes ride, to slay the dragon and watch me runaway with myself. I want someone to take my side, and realise i am not what i always think i am, and sometimes i need a liege to my throne and a circle of knights to swear upon my honour they will sit and ride at dawn for me. I want someone to listen to me, and hear what i say, what i really say, which isn't anything at all, but they will hear me, and the words i am screaming from an earthquake behind my eyes. I want someone to hold me by the face whilst i am crying and tell me that their whole world lies within me, and the more i cry, the more i lose a slight part of my heart beat in each tear, and that everything would be ok, if i just trusted them one last time, that everything would be ok. I want someone to take me by the hand and say, you are mine, i am yours, i am yours, you are mine, and the grip be firm, and the heart beats strong, and we sit in the car, as it rains, and you hold me, you just hold me, and remind me to see the day.

Remind me to see each day
I want someone to help me remember the day again, I want someone to wake me up with a tickling to the chin, and say, 'get out of bed, lazy head' and when my son runs in, pulls back the covers and shouts 'next stop, the seaside' I want someone to make me laugh, and see me when i am not laughing, when i cannot laugh, for there are tears that need to be bled from my mind, like blood from a rock.

Eager, as a young hound panting at a beloved master's heel, my black, cruel eyes shining, upturned towards his trusting face, the smiling icon, religion's celebrity adored throughout the living world. Once, I devoted myself, soul and flesh combined to my liege, following in his sand-prints, my own feet almost shrunken in his over-sized steps, the all-knowing giant, a teacher to the feeble being, myself. Years passed sluggishly, still treading deserts, my soles bruised, bleeding rivers from the arches, I screamed for us to wait only for a moment. He turned, with an expression of stone, 'You'll be a sinner if you stop, so keep walking, become God's serving girl'. Shaking my head, slowly, lashes downcast, I admitted the truth. 'I'd rather become a sinner than pound sand any longer, call me a quitter if you please, but I'm done.'

I Admitted the Truth
Darkness prevails in a world full of tears Defeated in battle and vanquished afar Alone and on board I’ve sailed through the mere I’ve beckoned her name but sunk only to depths The steel that once fuelled the soul of my kin Belongs in the shrine of the hand of my liege Who’s might I saw crumble as he fell to the ground But found breathe to summon and ask me this deed Yet death was a whisper so imminent my friend As I knelt at the cross of your beloved Sword

Bedivere
The king is dead. We fed him knives and liquor. Anything to seal his fate. That much quicker. The king is rotted in the media. The fly cored out his body with maggot young. Bled the liquor out with a funnel and dug in the carcass; For blood rusted cutlery. Calm and focused. I lose my love for his liege. As he ***** all the women, made our children believe, He's the answer to questions, In the ether still linger. I burn up the vapor, with his name ghostly whispered. The empires dead, we are red in the face of the answer, The king wasn't there, now his bodies a phantom. And I’m not shoulder deep in his blood from shoveling But shackling myself in a corpse wrapped for posthumous reverie. The sovereign lives! He is you, not me. A shackled neck for every broken king. Self ownership ends, with the plows yolked to every sheepish smile, pan the lens. The brain flows top down in the system of men. This grey matter cage is forced through the gin. Our corporeal visage is saliva in the face of the Prometheans before us. We are the ******** if we don't roll fates stone, And our eyes aren't picked out. We should burn in that fire that so melted the wings of Icarus. I'd rather my entrails eternally settle everyday in the belly of a crow, than be a stone with rested moss shaping the kings carved throne. Encrusted with Slave Carcasses.

Dragged Through the Streets
It is generally supposed we come to this place As a just reward for treachery and traitorousness. Indeed, nothing could be farther from the truth; Most of my compatriots her have blindly hitched their fortunes To some flag, some shining dogma, our fates sealed Through an unwillingness to be sufficiently self-interested, The refusal to abandon ship once it became apparent That the experience upon the rocks Would be neither enabling nor ennobling. My own case is illustrative of the rule; My father, noble sovereign ascending to the throne Via parlor tricks and the rustic embrace of folk legend, (The fornication resulting in my birth brushed aside As some accident of mistaken identity or enchantment) Is celebrated, beatified really, in song and legend, Yet I, who pulled myself up by my own bootstraps as it were, Winning his queen’s hand and defeating him on the field, Am consigned to this unhappy place in perpetuity, Suffering demons who hiss ******* Usurper!* As they put me through my paces (One takes their rebukes with a grain of salt; They are all mad, the likely result of dealing with this glut of madmen.) As I noted, the presence of myself and my brethren in this place Serve as a testament to the merits of fidelity, Which we commemorate daily, some days several times (I confess it seems more than a touch silly, But the necessity of creating distractions Trumps other concerns in a locale such as this) By staging caucus races, each participant addressing The ******* in front of him directly, Paying it fealty--My liege! My liege!--which is answered in turn By a cannonade of noxious farting (We assume the smells to be offensive, As the atmosphere here is somewhat deleterious at all times) All to the great amusement of those sprites Who observe our machinations, They in turn guffawing madly and urinating downward upon us While we, as the acidic waste corrodes us, also cackle like lunatics, Fairly shouting Ah, the gentle rain of Heaven--thank you, Lord! Though, oddly enough, our laughter at times (Most likely due to the aridity of the atmosphere around us) Seems to catch a bit in the throat.

ich jage meinen gedanken hinterher, und erkenne mich selbst manchmal nicht mehr. es scheint so, als würde sich alles um mich drehen, irgendwie ist es so als würde ich die welt nicht mehr verstehen. was ich mache scheint falsch zu sein, innerlich fange ich langsam an zu schreien. weiß nicht was ich tue und liege im zimmer, ich fühle mich so als wäre das ein gewitter. alles scheint so als würde es nicht vergehen, ich bin in meinem kopf angelangt und merke ich bleibe stehen. alles um mich verändert sich, und alle anderen lassen mich plötzlich im stich.

Dear Life, I know you will never be easy, and I know that perfection is far from your nature, and most of all I know my path with you will be anything but easy, but I know you will be worth it in the end. My Lady, I will walk beside you learning from the paths you choose until the moment my legs give out and you must leave me behind. For you stop for no man. Yet.. I honestly feel sorry for you. You are forced to leave so many good friends behind, but maybe we will meet again. Dear Death, You are inevitable yet many run from you. I’m sure you often feel all alone, but, my Lord, need I remind you some run to you with arms wide open saying, “Please.. Take me away from this place.” Does taking an innocent soul from this world before it’s time, no matter how broken, feel any better than solitude..? I won’t run from you, but I also won’t run to you any longer. When our time comes to meet, I will greet you as a good friend, as a lover, as someone I haven’t seen in ages and have been waiting for. I know this meeting will come, but maybe we have met before. Dear Love, You span both your siblings: both Life and Death. And you sometimes tie two people together so tightly with your little red cord that even one lifetime, two lifetimes, ten lifetimes later they can still look at one another, being strangers in that moment, and feel a strange tug of comforting familiarity. Yes. Sometimes no matter how loud you shout that they are meant to be they will be deaf to you passing like ships in the night never again to see the one they once called by your name. I’m not sure if we have met before, if I’ve passed by you not recognizing your beautiful eyes, or if our meeting is yet or never to come. But, my Liege, I pray it comes or comes again. Dear Somebody, I’ve begun to learn my lessons. I intend to enjoy Life’s company to the fullest, and will wait to commune with Death; I will embrace Love when they come to me without judgement merely opening my arms welcoming Love as if they were always a part of me. As if you.. Whoever you are… Were always a part of me. I’ll say, “Thank you for finding me. You are special beyond belief, and I hope that spark you hold never fades. So please take a seat. Let your wandering feet rest and make yourself at home in my life.” If Love must take their leave, and we become a mere pair in space I’ll remind you one last time that you are and always will be cared for. So please, Dear One, I beg of you don’t do anything rash. Don’t run to Death or from his twin sister Life, but most of all if love doesn’t stay with us. Find someone who Love will stay with, forever. Because that will make both Life and Death seem meaningless. That will make days fade into years, and that, Beautiful One, is what makes our existence worthwhile.

Letters to the Powers
Dear Life, I know you will never be easy, and I know that perfection is far from your nature, and most of all I know my path with you will be anything but easy, but I know you will be worth it in the end. My Lady, I will walk beside you learning from the paths you choose until the moment my legs give out and you must leave me behind. For you stop for no man. Yet.. I honestly feel sorry for you. You are forced to leave so many good friends behind, but maybe we will meet again. Dear Death, You are inevitable yet many run from you. I’m sure you often feel all alone, but, my Lord, need I remind you some run to you with arms wide open saying, “Please.. Take me away from this place.” Does taking an innocent soul from this world before it’s time, no matter how broken, feel any better than solitude..? I won’t run from you, but I also won’t run to you any longer. When our time comes to meet, I will greet you as a good friend, as a lover, as someone I haven’t seen in ages and have been waiting for. I know this meeting will come, but maybe we have met before. Dear Love, You span both your siblings: both Life and Death. And you sometimes tie two people together so tightly with your little red cord that even one lifetime, two lifetimes, ten lifetimes later they can still look at one another, being strangers in that moment, and feel a strange tug of comforting familiarity. Yes. Sometimes no matter how loud you shout that they are meant to be they will be deaf to you passing like ships in the night never again to see the one they once called by your name. I’m not sure if we have met before, if I’ve passed by you not recognizing your beautiful eyes, or if our meeting is yet or never to come. But, my Liege, I pray it comes or comes again. Dear Somebody, I’ve begun to learn my lessons. I intend to enjoy Life’s company to the fullest, and will wait to commune with Death; I will embrace Love when they come to me without judgement merely opening my arms welcoming Love as if they were always a part of me. As if you.. Whoever you are… Were always a part of me. I’ll say, “Thank you for finding me. You are special beyond belief, and I hope that spark you hold never fades. So please take a seat.

You & I can be royalty. A king & a queen building castles, tearing down walls, bringing peace, feasting on each other. I can comfort you in the finest array of dress, caress your mind with the things you adore, show you more than just one kiss. And most certainly, I'd be remiss if I left out love in our world of wars. O, your Royal Highness, my liege, my huckleberry, please pen me something full of sweetness, laden with tenderness, spilling gentleness about you & I.

World of Elegant Words (Poet Lovers)
What does it mean to be truly free? / Walk unafraid through the turbulence / Of a world with so much unknown. / Know that the principalities in power / Do not quell, do not pacify the Holy Dove. / The heartless, the lost, the wayworn, / We pray they'll find their way / We beseech divine Aether that all pain be undone. / A miasma lingers in the atmosphere: / The sting of death & of mourning. / Wandering in loss, fugitive these words lay / In my subconscious; therefore, I look within / For the sinew, the strength to carry on. / Life continues for so long as we pilgrimage, we roam, / The Land of The Living. / 3 "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: / 'Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them / And they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. / 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will / Be no more, neither will mourning, nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.'"—Revelation 21: 3, 4 (NWTSE) What limitless heights we could achieve / Without the kiss of death, / Yet a life eternal awaits those who are liege & faithful / Yes, one without suffering & one without loss; / Moreover, cause for rejoicing! / Should I awake upon the morrow / I will not fear my departure / For I know that something illimitable, something aeonic, something sempiternal, / & something far grander awaits: / —Life eternal. /

Life Eternal (Originally penned on Saturday, March 9th, 2024)
Everything is lying in me Decays between twilight and being dead All that can not be true But it damages my head With plausibility and anger I don't let myself loose Being free is insanity Here, on this earth, I lie alone at the moment and forever Strengthen myself To come clear with myself My consciousness lies On a pillow nearby in the shadow Without passion I shiver and freeze Past Past PAST blows the wind in my eyes and I look past Well, a tear whispers or do I only ask myself why not? The most miserable contentment Everything hangs near and is missed by me Equally Obfuscated [Verwischt-- Alles lügnet in mir verfällt zwischen Zwielicht und Totsein Das alles kann nicht wahr sein Aber schädet mein Kopf Mit Plausibilität und Ärger ich lass mich selber nicht los Freisein ist Wahnsinn Hier, auf dieser Erde, Liege ich plötzlich allein und für immer Bekräftige mich Um klar zu kommen Mit mir Selbst Liegt mir das Bewusstsein Am Kissen nebenbei im Schatten Ohne Wollust zittere ich Und friere Vorbei Vorbei VORBEI blässt der Wind in meinen Augen Und schau' ich vorbei Na, flüstert eine Träne Oder frage ich mir nur wieso sonst? Erbärmlichsten Behagen Alles hängt nah und fehlt mir gleicherweise Verwischt]
