"musketeers" poems
(Inspired by and dedicated to John Edward Smallshaw, and his "Spice") I am a summer-man, Because I'm blessed to sit by the sea. Let it and the other two Musketeers, boon companions to me, Sun and Wind, erase my discomposure as I reside in the Poet's Nookery. Let them have almost all that troubles, but not all. I am a summer-man. On the bay, on the beach, I see birth, I see death, osprey nests, carcasses of mussels and horseshoe ***** This, somehow reassuring, the cycles, this circularity, the tides and inevitability. I am a summer-man. Student of languages seasonal, Peaches, plums, cherries, poetry and loving Woman.^ This, the  summer alphabet-soup of my multiple tongues. I am a summer-man. Sancerre and Pinot Gris, super cold, Paul Simon, Nina Simone, with proper aging, getting  hotter, Salsa and Afrikaner hints, super louder, Even "Still Crazy After All These Years," that-who-wud-be-me, chills outer.^^ I am a summer-man. When ever this lad's writes appear, it proves once again, there is no truth that his   name was once Dr. Seuss In a prior life, even if each is signed by Ogdiddy Nash** I am a summer-man. **Disrespectful of the calendar, if I can, try to make summer season stretch-marks from May to October. I would add April, but the IRS is already ****** at me.^^^ Though the cherry blossoms of May now gone away, the lilies of June arrive, but but for a week or two, soon, like my mom, withered away. Acorns in August^^^^ have arrived too swiftly.** This summer, beloved, and love of summer, deep-rooted. Season of my Peter Pan Poetry Galore Festival. A love,  incapable, impossible, of ever growing old, ever growing cold, it cannot wither. It is summer heat reminders exposed, how it misses its man, that hide in the flames of the teasing, popping, reminding Winter fireplace's crackling popping***

Hope arrived... limping severely. The journey had been quite long, Searching for Something to hold on to. Hope was weak but would not give up, There is always hope, no matter how small. For: ”Hope springs eternal”. Faith was greatly weakened and vulnerable, Wounded by the words of discouragement. Naysayers of the day were chipping away. Faith needed help to overcome Doubt. Lurking close by... and closing in.... Keep the Faith Baby! Love felt lonely and threatened. In need of some friends to lean on. The days were long and dreary with Hate knocking at everyone's door. Love glimpsed Faith approaching and knew Hope was not far behind. Hope, Faith, Love; Together, they formed a bond and Began flourishing once again! Together, they opened the door of the heart in need of repair. Together, they rescued a heart, Filling it to overflowing. Love began to grow and blossom, Bringing Light to the darkened heart. Hope, walking tall and standing straight, Began to breath deep again. Faith leaped forward with renewed vigor to guard the Heart's door The Three Musketeers... together... Unstoppable... Conquer the world.

The Three Musketeers
Out of a **** he made Great Art It was no ordinary **** no! It was straight from the heart, that    **** It had lain too long in the dark Now was it's time to start To make its bid for freedom... and for stardom. It flew like a dart that **** from the    heart Like an arrow strung from Cupids    bow Little did it know how luminous it'd    glow Becoming one of the Greats in the    Farting Canon. It was probably the greatest **** poem    ever written In my own humble opinion It was very daring and it smelt of    onion It was certainly the fairest fartiest    poem I ever seen If it was one of the three Musketeers It would have to have been    D'artagoine. It inflated like a balloon, blew up like    a great glass bubble Then it popped and headed off    toward England Flying further afield than any ****    had ever flown It touched people's hearts, bewitched    every nation Resounded around the world Yea! was heard in every Kingdom. It flew long, it rounded the Horn Like a Lark, that **** it soared and    sung It was no boring old **** It was far fartier and fruiter than that It was a King of Farts Way above the fartiest of farters and    all the farting Arthurs It was the real King Arthur The King Arthur of all farts and    Farters. A real Belter was that **** that came    from the heart That had all the Angels singing in    their cloisters, A real work of Art just like Mozart Or remember... remember your    Shakespeare "Hark! A **** a **** Whereforth art ?     Thou **** It played its part, that **** yea! it    wielded its Excalibur. O! there's nothing I'd rather do than lie here blowing sweet bubbles next    to you You! on your little flutey flute flute and    Me! on my big Bass Trombone.

To quote Athos from "The Three Musketeers" "You are not a woman You are a demon escaped from Hell" When I first met you as a colleague I made the mistake Of getting friendly with you When I should have ensured That our relationship was going to be strictly professional Of course, you had your own ways Of charming those whom you came in contact with That is something for which I have to give you credit Albeit grudgingly And you were an expert At playing the victim card Nevertheless, after I changed jobs I thought I had seen the last of you However, you came back into my life As unexpectedly as the recent rains in Chennai Initially, it seemed kind of sweet However, I should have realised sooner That you had certain ulterior motives Unfortunately, I got fooled by your sweet talk And started helping you financially Because you looked up to me as a brother I never doubted you in the slightest Which was probably the biggest mistake of my life You took advantage of me In the worst way possible And kept draining my bank account Your lies kept getting taller and taller And I kept believing them Because, you had me well and truly under your thumb However, even the most credulous person in the world Can develop suspicions at some stage Thus, after years of being in a psychological coma I finally managed to wake up to the harsh reality And told my family everything Of course, with the help of a dear family friend After we finally confronted you You signed a written agreement Promising to return all my money Within a certain deadline That deadline has long since passed And you have not paid even ten percent of your dues What is worse Is the fact that you are absconding And giving absolutely nonsensical reasons Which even an utter fool would find it difficult to believe You ruined my life Destroyed my happiness And shattered my self-confidence Is this the way you treat a person Whom you have addressed as "brother" Not once, not twice, but several times? I am giving you one last chance Not for your sake But for the sake of humanity You had better take it Because, if not Then you will soon find yourself in prison Again, to quote Athos "You are not a woman You are a demon escaped from Hell"

I found a scribbled piece of paper on my coat, The wife wrote, "pick up some CANDLES" in a note. I thought it said "CANDIES" hoping to discover, that we finally would have candies, In our cupboard. So I bought in a rush: Snickers, Abba Zabba, Milky Way, Three Musketeers, Reeses peanut butter cups, M&Ms, Almond Joy, Milk Duds, laughy Taffy....and such. I called her and told her all the candies I bought, She said, "CANDLES, stupid", so I hung up.

I Like Candy more than Candles
my mist expires in your atmosphere linen sheets adhere around my throat, no fear smell pheromones in the air it's crystal clear, my dear i am amiss without you near self-controlled white-knuckle hold now conquered cold and longing to spy a songbird if only for a single moment and nothing longer i am somber but mighty fond of her strong enough to say it still and stronger now to do smart enough to ponder it here but dumb enough to squander it too red hearts are lies beating blood flows blue it is true, did you hear? i'm amiss without you near i thought we were musketeers turns out you're the puppeteer pulling my strings, was as I feared another way to ingratiate and endear while I'm tied here waiting to hear a footstep to take the next step another level for this intimate project but from this aspect with all due disrespect you subject me to intense neglect you're a ****** architect speaking scintillating dialects only I can connect but I am a bad girl... so I guess I deserve it my favorite show now that you mention is when you are standing at attention you brighten your eyes and your voice changes inflection my indiscretion becomes your intention but I digress, and bite through, throughout this blissful rendezvous as we float like a feather into the bedroom together past dawn until noon it must be true i am amiss without you

sophomore lunch days
Do you remember That afternoon--that Sunday afternoon!-- When, as the kirks were ringing in, And the grey city teemed With Sabbath feelings and aspects, Lewis--our Lewis then, Now the whole world's--and you, Young, yet in shape most like an elder, came, Laden with Balzacs (Big, yellow books, quite impudently French), The first of many times To that transformed back-kitchen where I lay So long, so many centuries-- Or years is it!--ago? Dear Charles, since then We have been friends, Lewis and you and I, (How good it sounds, 'Lewis and you and I!'): Such friends, I like to think, That in us three, Lewis and me and you, Is something of that gallant dream Which old Dumas--the generous, the humane, The seven-and-seventy times to be forgiven!-- Dreamed for a blessing to the race, The immortal Musketeers. Our Athos rests--the wise, the kind, The liberal and august, his fault atoned, Rests in the crowded yard There at the west of Princes Street. We three-- You, I, and Lewis!--still afoot, Are still together, and our lives, In chime so long, may keep (God bless the thought!) Unjangled till the end.

Envoy--To Charles Baxter
the murderer is a man who makes a living doing what everyone jokes about but who deep down in their so simple minds refuse to do the deed for fear of some shadow conjured up as a means to control them in their weakest moments the murderer lives in our brain but lives in the hands of very few so few of you are killers so few of you are people who’ve escaped the fear the killers are the people who refuse to die without a fight/the killers are the people who refuse to keep living without having things their way the murderers are killers but the killers are creators creators of terror, fear, and anger, but also anguish, and tears in volume of the ocean the murderers the musketeers the marauders the generals the corporals the soldiers the butchers the land developers the tree planters the kid sitting there eating an apple they’re all killers all the killers are all of them and all of them are all of us

The Killers, The Kids
There's one cat who meows in the alleyway but mimics a fowl dog who ate larval staged meat. There's two headless horseman racking leaves to find their heads that teenagers rolled down the country hills. there's three furry bears in a cave testing hardness and softness while four bats hang backwards to avoid the light. The five cowgirls had six cowboy hats each exactly. They're going to run out if they keep throwing them at groups of seven boys. Eight dentist chairs were rolled onto stage so the nine musketeers, multiplied by three, could get ten root canals. The doctor said he could have given eleven more of them but he heard twelve whimpers of pain and gave up. There were thirteen bounced checks and fourteen wrinkled foreheads who were lost in eternity for fifteen years. Sixteen world banks filed bankruptcy to drive dollars down. Seventeen hands were squeezed from an angel holding glowing red lips. eighteen hearts and brains switched spots anatomically leaving nineteen grown men sprawled on the ground like they drank twenty or so too many.

The Count to Twenty
Happy Halloween Trick or treats at the front door, give them candy, but they want more. I put poison in their candy bar, razors in their apple will leave a scar. Tired of hearing, the ringing of my bell, all these **** kids can go to hell. Putting tacks in their Milky Way, don't they know candy causes tooth decay. Even with the lights off, they still knock, I hate every kid on this **** block. I give them lint from my dryer, their stupid costumes, I light on fire. I put pennies in their pillow case, some kids so ugly, don't need masks on face. I smile at their moms, standing on the sidewalk, all the hot ones, I can't help but gawk. When they say trick or treat, I make them lick my smelly feet. Putting pins in their Baby Ruth, no longer will they have a sweet tooth. Putting nails in their peanut butter Twix, I have a big bag filled with rotten tricks. I put Anthrax in their Snickers, on the Kit Kat i cover with chiggers. Three Musketeers are filled with staples, Butterfingers have splinters from wooden tables. Naughty kids get a bag of my **** from the toilet, that I often sit. Maybe next year they will learn, or I'll give them ashes from their parents urn. Sometimes I scare them and make them beg, their so scared, you can see *** running down their leg. I've even given left overs from the fridge, all the maggots make their bodies twitch. Next Halloween, if I'm not in jail, I will urinate in every candy pail.

I am a rocketeer And somewhat of a buccaneer And I will commandeer Your heart with mini musketeers And there is nowhere safe In my adolescent brain My life’s like a race Yo narrow down my breathing Space Narrow my breathing space My breathing space Narrow my breathing space And I hope it’s not to late To make up for all of my mistakes But I’m set in my ways Cuz’ life is just mere childsplay I choose to play this game And say Jason is my name And now that I'm awake I’m gonna need more breathing Space Need more breathing space More breathing space Need more breathing space I am a rocketeer And somewhat of a buccaneer And I will commandeer Your heart with mini musketeers

The Leopard The Fox and the Kitty a very unlikely bunch different in every aspect The leopard Speaking his mind Opinions spewing the oldest but maybe not the wisest The fox The fighter The poet she is the youngest but definatlly the wisest The kitty Court jester most subborn tap dancing her way through life But somehow these three make it work Protecting eachother always have the others backs The perfect disfuncional Three musketeers

The Three Musketeers
On my fingers, on my tongue- Your taste a sweet and pleasing one. I unwrap you greedily And nibble on you speedily. Milk chocolate, I can't resist- in miniatures or in a kiss. Three musketeers are worth the fee- all for one and one for me. In a pudding or a bar I enjoy you in my home or car. In drink, you warm my winter day once my shovels been put away. Intoxicating like fine wine, Your antioxidants are all mine. I sneak away with you, my treasure, an old fat man's one guilty pleasure.

you know the avatar of vishnu sitting pretty, pretty calm, he sat there, lost his hair, became a bald & fat idol in china miles away from nepal... became an idol with that famous waving cat (maneki-neko): ola ola... hello to you too. so the avatar of vishnu is sitting peacfully pretty, but this avatar of shiva ain't... he's on a windowsill... head-banging while the supposed meditation takes place... he's on to it, the next vogue of mindfulness and feminism... he's like: **** it... let the zeppelins in, london on the fork fried, give us bacon and other assumptions of king above all beasts. but at the bus stop i met four would-be ballerinas, four lolitas nonetheless, aiming for a party, went into the shop were asked for i.d., but the look of them no more than 15... smoked my cigarette in the umbrella of the bus shelter... true to feminism got ***** 'can you buy me some vodka?' i don't care about your lies, you don't have to lie to me, 'but honest, i have a picture, i'm over the age of consent! look!' my moral compass is missing on this matter, plus you're so petite one of your musketeers gave you away, flesh that never grew to the bone... 'but please! we're going to a party! we can't go empty handed!' o.k. took the 10 quid note and went in, they wanted a medium sized bottle, under 10 quid of ***** and 4 women? no chance. put the note in my wallet and bought them a 70cl bottle of ***** 3 quid extra so they could, just, shut, up. apparently there was no party when i handed them the confidant compliment of uncle... you know that bit where nietzshce criticised socrates for engaging in dialectics to create a rude society? i think not engaging with dialectics creates rude societies... where children are above and most opinionated... and the elderly are below and exposed to sadism: as england row row rows the boat for an iceberg to thus sink. yes, the four of them, happy enough to be believed to have discovered the ******** and happy enough to have almost lost it.

Shalom you said but Fay's father ignored you on the stairs of the block of flats you were only trying to make peace with him because of Fay but he wasn't buying into any Jewism as he termed it forgetting that his Jesus said head of his Catholic Church was a Jew himself but that was another matter so you let him go on his way up the stairs humming some Latin hymn to himself later seeing Fay on the way to the grocer's shop through the Square she said her father had forbidden her to even talk with you (the Jew Boy he had said) but she knew it was impossible even if she wanted to which she didn't despite the risk she ran in seeing you or talking with you I only said shalom to him you said she frowned it means peace you said I could have said something else to him less friendly she smiled weakly best say nothing she said o.k you said so you walked with her to the grocer's shop across the road and along to the grocer's shop by the newspaper shop where they had The Three Musketeers book in the window which you wanted to buy at sometime and you showed her the book and the cover with a picture of three musketeers sword fighting and you walked on to the grocers and she bought what was on her list and you got what your mother had written on a small scrap of paper and afterwards you said how about a penny drink at the Penny shop? and she looked anxious and said not sure Dad said not to linger around well don't linger you said but have a drink and we can sit by the wall outside and see the world go by and sip our drinks she hesitated but then said o.k so you took her to the Penny shop and bought two bottles of penny pop and sat outside by the wall your shopping bags beside you the morning sun blessing your heads and she talked of the nuns at her school how strict they were but one she said was kind and taught her the Credo in Latin word by word and you sat listening to her and she sitting there momentarily free like an uncaged song bird.

I’d always wanted to go to College, In another life I did. I spent my time rotting with my brothers, Four people bound by a schedule, Held by a cradle of sheet music and dirt. We’d dance to the music we lived for, Sing of the people we dreamed of being, Wrapped in smoke and promises of gold. Our goals began to change, A collage of broken people, Forced together by Pain and Noise. You left years ago, The four musketeers in the wind, Devoid of anything but hope. Now I'm alone again, Rotting in my room I’d always wanted to go to College, And maybe once I did.

The knock at the door on Halloween night The Ghost and Goblins looking through the window of the door, Screaming , Screaming Trick or Treat, Candy in hand as I place in bags of the four down the side walk comes a witch on a broom, as I run to get more candy from another room. In my hand the bowl is full of suckers and snicker, musketeers,   Music in the back ground of frightening tuns to fear,   Cob webs tangling as the skeletons jump out and scream. OH what a wonderful night on Halloween

The bard spoke this night to me with concern Cautioning should I write a sonnet fair It would in the pages of history burn Yet I'm pursuing the course with heaps of dare Thy hand is set to work to prove him wrong This composition will not in ashes fail Determination is my consort song Syllables ten to each line to couplet tail A challenge put forth by musketeers three No doubts yet have arisen of deftness In completing the task given to me The bard's classic form will cause no duress On this journey one has taken a bet The end product is now forever set

The Bard Spoke (Sonnet Poem)
Moved by the sonnets of musketeers I was, kept in motion with the force of a rose And adifferent name that smelled as sweet Set to rest by Ravens Calmed by stories of his beautiful Anna-bell-lee She Comforted me with tales of Caged Birds and the songs filled with dreams they yearningly  sing I was taught to love patiently And that although love hurts it does not envy I was freed by teachers with words of wisdom Taught to not look at words but the lessons within them I heard the tell tale heart and was immediately cautioned Meeting my own guilty concience Felt just a bit nautious I walked a road less traveled And met phenomonal women like Mrs. angelou Im ever dream within a dream i walked I found a dream deferred then born anew And at the end of my bountiful journey Somewhere where the diverged road bends I hope to be touched again by an angel Layed to rest in a place where the sidewalk ends

Lessons of literature
~ on a tail of two, of a west meets an east; no New York state of mind, states differing you see (we're more Oreganic than he), in these musketeers three. this traveler’s tale; turning steed to the beach; for a sharing of trails; and of capes... one for each. words, brisk in the wind, under skies of azure, walk on sands of gold, and though aging in years, three hearts grow not old. for a crowning of points, no, this vista ain't free; though a highway may close, or on views juxtapose, on much they’ve agreed. tis a free state of mind, here on westerly breeze; a binding of souls, at five & forty degrees. theirs a latitude free, a bit shy a quorum, with much space in-between, but of this they are sure, tis a kinship of verbs; more poetic than words, links theses brothers three! ~ post script. ~

three capes
You left us and we behind with our flaws and fears The three musketeers battling addiction and tears You left us and we behind with our flaws and fears What have you got to show for your achievements? It's all gone up your nose I always think of you Skepticism in your health continues to grow You don't look happy But you give a red lipped smile Your time is almost up It's blow for blow We're almost out of time It's our last chance to go
