"lordship" poems
Men my brothers who after us live, have your hearts against us not hardened. For—if of poor us you take pity, God of you sooner will show mercy. You see us here, attached. As for the flesh we too well have fed, long since it's been devoured or has rotted. And we the bones are becoming ash and dust. Of our pain let nobody laugh, but pray God would us all absolve. If you my brothers I call, do not scoff at us in disdain, though killed we were by justice. Yet þþ you know all men are not of good sound sense. Plead our behalf since we are dead naked with the Son of Mary the ****** that His grace be not for us dried up preserving us from hell's fulminations. We're dead after all. Let no soul revile us, but pray God would us all absolve. Rain has washed us, laundered us, and the sun has dried us black. Worse—ravens plucked our eyes hollow and picked our beards and brows. Never ever have we sat down, but this way, and that way, at the wind's good pleasure ceaselessly we swing 'n swivel, more nibbled at than sewing thimbles. Therefore, think not of joining our guild, but pray God would us all absolve. Prince Jesus, who over all has lordship, care that hell not gain of us dominion. With it we have no business, fast or loose. People, here be no mocking, but pray God would us all absolve.

The Ballad Of The Hanged Men
A holy dip in a river, revere you may, Or any philanthropic act may it be, Only wisdom finds divine salvation, From cynic cycles of birth and death, Believe in boundless bliss beyond ….17 Relish respite in temple serene, Cherish in the shadow of a tree, Squat or lie on a flat ground, Renounce worldly comforts, Peace prevails in plenty. Believe in boundless bliss beyond ….18 Dwell you may, in ecstasy, Of fanfare and fortitude, Attached to materialism, But, to revel in the divine bliss is; The only redemption of lingering life. Believe in boundless bliss beyond ….19 Delve into the divine discourse of deliverance, Sip the holy drops of sacred rivers, Worship the lordship of Almighty The Lord of Death dare not pinch you. Believe in boundless bliss beyond …20 Pangs of birth, panic of death, Over and over, again and again, Make one and all sick and sullen. Cultivate divine diary of deeds, Enroll the ultimate bliss of eternity. Believe in boundless bliss beyond …..21 He who cogitates cool inward, Be content with what he has, Contempt to what he has not, May look like an innocent child, Or an indecent mad cap outward. Believe in boundless bliss beyond …..22 Question yourself – Who are you and me? And other kith and kin? There lies delusion in delight, Of experience and exposure, Of trials and tribulations, Ending up in ****** dreams. Believe in boundless bliss beyond 23 Almighty is all pervasive, In you and me and all around, To be furious is to be foolish, Drop ego; uphold equality& equanimity, As the best way to sacred sanctum Believe in boundless bliss beyond 24

the sun burns red in the west The lovers meet in secret Following their hearts in the cropping darkness It is big and brave For the passionate lover He would hand it to her love tonight Hoping that she would cherish it Even when he will be away She gives him hers Tells him "be strong and intact Return safe my love I will be waiting for you" The heart, That little body part habouring all issues Makes all decisions The heart, it strengthens the soldier in the battle front Singing to him songs of courage Reminding him of his sweet love at home Love from the heart is true and passionate Its different from lust and is bound to last The battle is love Even though the war is different He kills for love she is the only thing in mind She gets broken a few times taunted by sociopaths Telling her 'they will never come back" She has waited for times and times But the heart stands all the tests Most of the times The heart that lordship of mind and body Guides everyody Decisions of the heart You can trust He thinks with the mind for tact but nomatter what He follows his heart; even though he is bruised and hurt The mind fills him with doubt but the heart tells him to fight Reminds him of heroes and sweet ********** Turns him to a matador the eyes give him sight but the heart fills him with insight Hugging him tight it neutralises his fright He marches right Into enemy territory She is barely making through They think she should remarry News of fallen soldiers devastates her heart Man's strength is from within the heart Courage is not from spears Not arrows and swords... That small body part! Emperors and conquerors Lovers and soldiers listen Fathers and Mothers They listen to the heart He creates devastation Wrecking the enemy camp As his battalion joins in His heart moulding him Into a hero That small body part Endures all in patience As she waits Saying its never late ...a time of jubilation Victory cries are heard Those back are few But they removed the enemy By conviction of their hearts He is a legend The man after everyone's hearts She is joyous As she runs into his embrace The heart That small body part Endured it all A soldier's heart...

We shall not ask for the precious pearl of the Duke of Sui, nor for the priceless jade disk of Master ** We merely ask for the recent news of our homeland. The Palace of Spiritual Illumination must be still there, surrounded by desolation. What's happened to the stone statues buried deep in the grass, still guarding the Imperial tombs? Is it true that our people left behind in the occupied territories are still planting mulberry trees and hemp? Is it true that the rear guard of the Barbarians only patrols the city walls? This widow's father and grandfather were born in Shantung. Although they never held high office, their fame spread far and wide. I remember when they carried on animated discussions with other scholars by the city gate. The listeners were so crowded that their sweat fell like rain. Their offspring crossed the Yangtze River to the South many years ago. Drifting in the rapids, they mingled with refugees. I send blood-stained tears to the mountains and rivers of home, And sprinkle a cup of earth on East Mountain. I imagine when Your Lordship, His Majesty's envoy, upholding the Imperial spirit, passes through our two capitals, K'ai Feng and Lo Yang, Thousands of people would line the streets and present tea and broth to welcome you.... Announce that the Emperor's heart aches for the suffering people--- they are his own children. Let them understand that the Will of Heaven remembers all living beings. Our sagacious Emperor offers his trust which is as brilliant as the sun. There is no need to negotiate many times after the long chaos of the years.

How well I know this force that draws fast upon my brain wages all the energies there retained Till surging fills each life filled cell to the roaring torment and blessed state. Beyond the horizon It gathers upon the breath of those Gods Thor riding the triumphant clouds bellows into the night's air his charge Of thickened, dense filled pockets of space Edgeing upon the fringe of life. I stand ***** arms out stretched Like an ancient shaman invoking his god gathering within my lungs this breath of charged air and vibrating it out, I call the gales drifting winds To sweep and engulf this soul of mine Into the depths of that tormented breeze. Hear O ancient one's my haunting cry That steps out from the Soul and dreams of mine Awaken again that sacred form and bliss of natures wrath and constant kiss To journey but the essence of life. Thor roars in distant rumbles that gathers pleads and romps the air and valleys hammer flung, the metal strikes and splinters it's flashing rods to earth Castrating the nights air to its engulfed state. The winds rush and cross the Firths great stance Arran haunted to the raging sky Lightning strikes amongst her giant peaks Goat fell rages but to the demented storm Like blasts from battles deep. The seas roar the triumphant entry Of the Viking God yet but once again Upon theses ancient fields of time and place charging upon the gales ravenous winds and tossed tides The lordship of Thor upon the planes of Ayr.

Always love or like, all alike, Kin or none, friend or foe; hate none, Lift yourself above all weakness, Emerge strong & hit the ultimate goal. Believe in boundless bliss beyond 25 Purge yourself out and converge pure; Free from lust, greed, anger & delusion. Look behind the eye for truth beyond, Unscathed by matter that does not matter Believe in boundless bliss beyond 26 Cultivate prayer of the ultimate Supreme Be good, do good and go with the good No good to amass wealth without sharing The poor and destitute deserve a better deal Believe in boundless bliss beyond 27 Absorbed in pursuit of carnal desires, Life culminates to cease in disease, Mind is blind and blank of virtues till end, Sins & sinners rule the roost without end. Believe in boundless bliss beyond 28 Wealth that reigns is none but one that ruins, Rich are frightened by the shadows they cast, Joy of pelf pales off in hoarding and hiding, Spiritual health is holier than physical wealth Believe in boundless bliss beyond 29 Regulate breath, sensitize sense, Condition the body and soul, Through meditation and prayer, Free the fickle mind to firm up, And search for eternal delight. Believe in boundless bliss beyond 30 Stir up your inner eye more focused, Behold; the Lord lives in your heart, All you need is a mentor that helps, To liberate yourself from material life, And capture the rapture all abound. Believe in boundless bliss beyond 31 Worship of the Lordship is the only ship To cruise and cross the ocean of life, Be it chanting sacred hymns in extol, Or be it a service to untidy society, The essence of life is to transcend, And attain Supreme above the self.

Worship His Lordship, Brace up timely solace, Before you are befooled, No syntax would serve, When death comes to date. Believe in boundless bliss beyond ….. 1 Oh Dear, desist from desires, That govern mundane mandate. Blessed are you, whatever deserved, Of your actions, or inactions past, Be content and devoted, To your duty, serene and supreme Believe in boundless bliss beyond ……2 Concealed by shiny silky skin, Beauty is one of flesh n’ blood, Glow or glamour is never forever, Introspect and respect the truth, Let not illusion overtake your wisdom. Believe in boundless bliss beyond ……3 Eventual, life bubbles off, Like a droplet on lotus leaf, Conjured by complexion, Concluded by deadly disease. Believe in boundless bliss beyond ……4 Kith n’ kin crowd around, And enjoy the fun and frolic, Of youth, of health n’ wealth. As the age anchors in sickness, No referee comes to your rescue. Believe in boundless bliss beyond……5 Sprint is the spirit of life, The Soul holds the body The day the Soul skips away, Even your wife walks astray Believe in boundless bliss beyond……6 Fun n’ play rein budding life, Youngling passions linger fore, Hoary age diminishes in distress, None to come along, nothing to impress, When the dusk dawns on you, Too late to mediate and meditate. Believe in boundless bliss beyond…….7 After all, what are you! Of whom are you? Who your wife and children are? Are the bonds you made binding? What is your origin or horizon? Ponder over the divine marvel Believe in boundless bliss beyond ……8

The hearse set off through the mansion gates Pulled by a pair of greys, Stepping high, so they’d not be late For the church’s hymns of praise, Lord Gordon Knox on the catafalque Awaiting his final ride, Just down the hill where the graveyard spilled And spread on the eastern side. But staring out from behind the grass, From between each tree and bush, There gleamed the beam of a hundred eyes In a sacred kind of hush, The word was out it was Gordon Knox Set to take his pride of place, And from the woods had come every fox To afford his lordship grace. For Gordon had been the Master of The Aldermaston Hunt, Had chased them across the countryside More than a man can count, But somehow managed to lose the fox As it turned, became covert, And often seemed to confuse the hounds As the fox returned to earth. Three generations had come and gone Since the young Amelia Knox, Had left to walk in the countryside And found a secluded copse, The peasants say that she fell asleep By a well protected earth, And Reynard Fox had uncovered her Before she had given birth. So Raymond was the first of the breed In a mix of fox and man, A Knox by name but a fox by shame When his mother’s guilt began, And when he had a son of his own He could see that the eyes were sly, And every fox in the countryside Could tell him the reason why. Gordon carried the bloodline on Though he rode to fox and hounds, He ruled the hunt with an iron fist They were hunting in his grounds, And every time that the quarry went He would make a lame excuse, The scent was wrong, or the wind was strong Or the hounds were far too loose. And every time that the Master died And the hearse had trundled by, The foxes all came out to see, In a way, they said goodbye, But Gordon had left no son behind Just a daughter, Elspeth Knox, And I heard they’d given up on her Till they found her in some copse.

To Fox and Hounds

You have a poem; Spring brings you poem. I think Anthony must be your court's poet; a serf turned grateful for his god-gave muse. Genuflect he's to this Fürstin, trip he does, too, over himself getting you water both up and down the stairs; when presenting his poetry, rebuts extended portension, yes, pausing liking um-ing, tsk; and all so when reaching for his dagger to cut our darkness away, does seem dance with shadows like fire was a pomethean bane. Still he gets it from his sheath, brings it to her bloodless yet dulled from the escaped swings of misaimed blows into shrubs. Wants me to call him Reichsritter. I’d indulge him but he’d still have to synthesize faith from some avian metabolism, (it’s known that poets’ health’s all flat feet, weak livers, shallow lungs, and consumptive coughs); or, better yet, find knighthood in the books read for your sake; nay, I too must keep honest to you. So does he, you know? thinks sincerely that there’s the stuff of art passed to him when he entertains you; doesn’t think himself the lordship you insist, thinks he’s groped and somehow scalded himself upon the empyrean fire, and bows recedes away feeling just a bit impious. *That’s it though! : You’re a young seraphim took earthly shape, faring the angelic order’s routine errand to forget absolute, embrace listless hate, then forget it again.* Well, isn’t this where Anthony missteps? cries wolf, burns midnight oil, clutches his stomach in pain. The ‘seraphim’ draft is just a wish for your eternal life, please believe. Every comet and season makes him just as mouthful and excited. A heart of love and head of art, tsk. We can’t judge the heart and the head together can we? Regardless, a court poet essentially a jester, pinned his poem to my chest. So, meine Fürstin, you have a poem, Spring has brought you a poem.

From a bang and a big black hole They say we arose Hunched and furry and lacking cognizance Grunting and glaring obscurely at the simplest of matter That we are evolved Hominids What an insult to so high and handsome a species To the level of our intellect To the stance of the master of our conception To the grandeur of the Cherubim in-between which He dwells To His creative ability They go on with unabated audacity To present us with ‘evidence’ of such theory In an attempt to nullify the Word of His Lordship Reduce it to but a figment of imaginative minds They seek to re-establish the beginning Subject the present to their will And recourse the direction of the future With an intent to dethrone The Alpha and Omega For ages they have spurred violence upon the nations While their forked tongues spoke for peace Imposed the segregation of a race by physical demeanor While their forked tongues spoke for unity Instituted oppression of peoples While their forked tongues spoke for liberation And as they weave their intricate design To hurl the world into confusion Tying the loose ends in knots of theories Which they fabricate basis to support Then pass off as sense All that remains is that there is only one truth The truth that has survived interrogation and trial And everything else is nonsense

A THEORY OF NONSENSE
An impending rate of consequence isn’t about the value of oneself when given the very right to dispose of ALL rates about the consequence that turns into the reigning champion for consequence itself. Since that very champion for consequence is how oneself would then value that very impending rate over itself entirely. Prompting the desires (that at which are forevermore “tempted”) into deceiving itself to see ONLY desires full of the consequence which is full of impending rates that (inconclusively) “shines” every claim you truly desire. Especially if that very desire doesn’t like having an identity for claim to certify it’s right for oneself to be given value over lordship as being its champion of its very own consequence! Showboating something that increases with every impending rate that coasts along without value in an identity that’s meant to be desired upon. Whilst there’s nothing more to be said or shared when there’s NO claim in itself without oneself to actually come out and perfectly express that they are lordship of claims value without a desire firstly. Which oneself is then slowly tempted upon to not see correctly. Hence, thinking they are simply a champion of consequence that performs those very impending rates as their very performance quickens steadily.

An impending rate of consequence
Plagium "There! See that lad beside the stall?" The master pointed straight his riding quirt, "The little lad with the home-made ball?" I nodded, weary, standing slouched, inert. "We'll make him ours before the day is done," I heard his lordship gloat, and wished myself away, Remembering the day the plaga caught me as I tried to run. No use to tell him what I thought - no use to even pray. And so we lured the boy to see a novelty just up the street, And cast our nets about him and rolled him in the dust Into a rug and carried him out, bound hands and feet... Another slave boy in the master's house who cries at dusk, Missing home and mother's arms and small delights; His homely past an awful ache, though low and poor, A place of love and hope and soft, familial sights My slaving Master Plagiarus ripped away forevermore.

Mill to mill a bitter pill this treadmill that we're led to and from mill to mill we will always be candy for the mills of society they gab in the background about Christmas, alas no Christmas for me the foreman has told me to work that day and no turkey shall I see cold ham and pickle with cheese and a tickle of trout lightly poached (nightly poached) from the river that runs through his Lordship's land and yes I bite the hand that feeds me for it's the same hand that needs me in mill to mill when will it all end.

Wishing to dialogue About the joy of our Shared salvation, I must interrupt The joyous conversation To warn you. Dangerous men have invaded Your circle of faith, Men who purpose To corrupt the truth Of God's free gift, To franchise immorality For their own profit, To pollute the Sovereignty, To deny the supreme Lordship Of Jesus Christ To deviate For profit and profligacy. I write to warn you. Jude

Jude 1:3-4
Render this time as sacred More precious than gold Render this time as valuable A Life was sold I speak of this time that I'd so easily trade For that which is temporary And those that so easily fade This time that should be priceless Because it was bought And given to me I want this time to be More than just part of the routine More than something to foresee More than a task of that never-ending to do list. I call the Giver of this time my Lord But all the time for the mundane, I hoard I see lordship but not for Him I see lordship for me and to me Selfishness at its epitome So I bow my sorry head Sorry for the life I've led Where I chose to spend this time All for me When my God was not the priority Grace, oh, grace I ask From this time on I choose to spend this time in light of eternity

This Time
In the two up, two down with a tin tub to bathe in, a cellar to put coal in, a kitchen and pantry can't you be happy? If his Lordship willed it we'd all live in pigshit, that's Nobility for you but I work in the grounds of the great hall as a groom for sixpence a week and a small garrett room and don't feel hard done by, still a prison though. I'll die in service but will need to give a week's notice such a shame you can't put a poultice on death.

Incarceration
Public opinion Confusion reigns until his lordship explains that our best interests are served by remaining in service no education for free for this subject, subject to decree from her highness, most royal majesty Informally known as Lizzie. His lordship is marking our card, we must work very hard get little pay not too much noise and no *** on Sunday, what a way to have to live they take, take, take and we try to live on **** all they live in a bigger hall which still means **** all to me. I'm voting one way or another I'm voting boring into the dead wood Breadcrumbs. I am Hansel and Gretel being dead good. Liz gets down to the business of queening, cleaning the silverware' getting rid of the peasants who get in her hair tending to Phil having her fill of kedgeree and sod all for the likes of me, She's off my Christmas list if we were a republic A peasant? revolting, his lordship puts the boot in but the fault's in the system we all need rewiring. I'm going to Grimsby that place will suit me fish, chips and a mug of tea bye bye your majesty don't wait up I'll be home late.

The caterpillar dance
Anthems so sweet, Soft gallantly stringed. Hearts beat, Sorrow weeps. A song of merrily dreams. What man is this? Whose heart is bliss. Thou loved a maiden, Of Anthems swing. Whose love adored, When all was torn. He hailed thy keep. Love is kind, It doth not envy. Even An Anthem. Proves thee. Maiden of Sweet songs, Whose voice angelic along. Sings to thy heart. To keep thee. "My love, You are my life. In peace and in suffering. Though I may become wife, I'll always love thee." What child she brings, To bear his fathers eyes. To speak of lordship. Behind thy eye. Bear a child, I will accept thy offer. A family for us, Will last forever.

Anthem of Promise
I prefer my actors live on stage: Living, breathing, running around. But sometimes you need a stiff; I like them to be, metaphorically speaking, upstanding With a military bearing and patriotic moustache, Ideally tricked, or seduced, by cunning foreigners. Once they are dead, I want them face down, Fully clothed, shot in the back, Being studied by a stooping policeman, Or better still, an upper class pre-war sleuth With a cravat and a monocle; No need for ceremony with them. A doctor arrives. ‘What seems to be trouble?’ he asks. ‘He’s dead, you idiot!’ cries the sleuth; ‘Make yourself useful. Get Lady Bounder here a cup of tea. She’s fainted. Two sugars.’ Enter Inspector Dummy. ‘It looks like ****** he announces. ‘Give the boy a medal,’ comes the witty reply. ‘Oh, sorry, your Lordship. Shall I shine your shoes?’ Then there’s a sub-plot, a side issue: The bones of a victim Of a botched bank robbery Forty years before And the stiff was his grandson. It’s a hard job, being dead on stage, Or so I’m told, I’ve never tried it. I once saw a ****** victim sneeze, twice, Under a table in the library. He deserved that kick; nothing like a good laugh.

Dead Actors
What lays beneath, shall remain unknown As the creepness prevail with a dark mourn Unsure of the foul smell of decayed meat No one wants to breath while they eat It's certain that we are not alone here Cause everytime I feel the crawling of fear Like someone rushing through to come near But possibilities are that it's just the fear in mind Which guides the fearful heart to actually find What lays beneath the ground? From which the mourn aches mumer the sound The chill feeling gathers on hearing the dogs howl The strange faint hooting of the jungle owls While none has the courage to see outside The ground breaks and the smell smearing from inside It's what looks like the opening of the hells portal And the creatures crawl out as a rotting mortal The lordship of this place has guarded this place That's why these creatures are not able to trace For we are few who are safe for now as told But who knows what this darkness really holds The smokes fill the atmosphere around The cold mist and heavy fogs surround As there is a wait for the day break to come How many of us shall remain? Probably some The growling and gronning such unheard Unseen deads roam, some even without heads I only wish this was just a dream not true If only this night passes and hopefully we are through In the light of day, we shall know what's there None have such courage, for they do not want to bare The wreath of the dark hell creatures With distorted bodies and disfigured features... ©sim
