"regaled" poems
A sky so blue Beatific smile of Sun Swathes the vastness Welcoming with open arms My gleeful heart Reaches out to the sky Oh so like the feeling Joyous jig, to celebrate Unleashed dreams I release them to the wind They fly high Among the blue Taste of freedom Feels so great My dreams have taken flight My feet on the ground And my dreams soaring high A feeling of euphoria As I kiss the wind I feel lighter My eyes are brighter Hope resides in my heart With the sky above me A shade of blue Oh so true A new day and hope I embrace the landscape Proud I am To feel this beauty I am a part of it Welcomed by bright sunrays Feel free to express When the sky breaks into laughter Playfully indulge in a light banter You are here Welcomed by a bright new day Regaled by the birds’ songs Intoxicating aroma of Nature Along with a sky so blue

Blue Sky
Night, dark, soft, alluring, spinner of dreams I want to be lost in, is a kindhearted courtesan, who never demanded anything for all her loving, that to me was like a swim in the pool of "Ananda"* I was searching for. I climbed her door steps with the silent footfalls of a cat, all these years for solace, when the fair lass , regaled by my songs evening after evening, scoffed and taunted, when I fell wounded in duels of life, I was forced to fight to keep my honor intact. Once, seeing me left in the lurch, blood soaked and badly wounded she led my tired legs to her house of magic and secret treasure hunts, blessed me with oblivion, till I woke up. Her mansion became arena of silent dances of wounded memories, till sun appeared above misty mountains cheering me up with new promises, but my thoughts never left her. I spent my darkest hours in her house, thrilled by dreams she induced, in which under moonbeams princesses gathered, bubbling fine wine brimmed in sparkling glasses, I felt the most loved man within her tender arms. I would wait for the night, my sullied lover, to arrive with her hands of breeze, to tousle my hair and caress my face. Night  took away my pains, her lasciviousness is the only drink, that makes me ask for more. She is not only mine, as a courtesan, she needs to entertain whoever seeks her, But when I am with her, she is all mine.

Night is a kindhearted courtesan
Somewhere between a bicycle and a seat at a daydream... I had to make money so I mortgaged my woods, my sea, my music Words-- left Regaled only with rust my 1938 Columbia bike (sold for a crib) to an antique dealer Fat-tires, red-faded fenders Baskets saddled on wheel for towel and lunch Key chain dangling jingling against jar of cool ginger ale Look back at the baskets-filled afternoons at the park I was a poet The road laid itself bare For my bike and I scrolling through leaves like words that fell like hair across shoulders that I sang to no one the audience--   air I know that now I was not really… nor ready I once was a poet ___ This poem was based on a black and white photo of Harry Bertschmann as a young artist, posed proudly by his magnificent work.  First two lines of my poem were my immediate reaction to his painting. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/05/nyregion/the-struggling-artist-at-86.html

Bicyle Daydream
Dashing hither, dashing thither, Dashing in the winter weather, John the dashing haberdasher Dashed a hat upon his head Not some lace cap fit for ladies, Nor a bonnet stitched for babies, John the dashing haberdasher Dashed a top hat there instead! Never had a hat so fine, So tall and silken, so refined, Regaled upon the daily grind Of prince or pauper in the Strand Ladies stalled to see it's lustre, Swooned and swayed before it's bluster, Fell and fainted in a fluster, Startled by a hat so grand! Children screamed in dreadful fright And yelping dogs began to bite As crowds began to brawl and fight And riots claimed the London street In the chaos thus ensuing, Folks began to run, pursuing John the dashing haberdasher Chasing him from Strand to Fleet! John was taken to the prison, Chided by the crowds derision, There to wait the Mayor's decision On his wanton heinous crime Charged with breaching lawful peace, He paid a fine for his release And ordered to desist and cease, He left his top hat well behind Thus is told the tale of John Who dared to bravely dash and don A silken top hat high upon His noble head in London town Heed his tale and take this warning, When you wake one winter morning With desire to be less boring, Careful how you dress that crown!

John's Tall Tale
i might continue on with that trauma i might subside. violation carries with it sensate boons of empathy blue sky overrun with thanks arched-back breath you're afraid to ask me are your tears painful but i spear your question with a surplus love shouting joy as if there weren't a plea tremulously groaned share with me it isn't just release sweet freedom laughing out of doors you and she regaled in bursts iridescent meaning hung in curve of lock nape and open palm

imprisonment
The familiar complaints, the cozy ones. Ambling through the hedges of grievance. I never know what I'm feeling at any one time. Usually more of the same. Bragging my inadequacies. Winter is coughed from the addled coalsmoke sky. Chimneys chugging ash. Clumps of duress. Blake's choir of children lying in a heap. Noontime streetlamps regaled in holly and poinsettia. A ***** moss enters from the vacant lot, cautiously. The homeless have been scraped from under the bridge. Geese call and flee. The snow is flakes of ash, the sun finally burnt itself down. Disused meanings are flushed. A carefully wrought vocabulary we have disabused ourselves of. Crumbling monologue. A new grammar forms. Light and Motion dances from the screen. A panoptican of laughs and serenades. Sometimes there is a magazine no one has a subscription to. It is the digest of a human heart dressed to the nines in thorns and flame.

Following My Nose
The warble frocks and debutantes, Soprano trilling nightingales, The extras dressed as elephants And tenors with their penguin tails; They mingle at the opera house With canapés on silver trays; Then dine on pigeon, goose and grouse, To reminisce their finest plays; When Romeo found Juliet The crowds were on their feet for days, When mighty Caesar’s end was met, The press regaled with highest praise; Such fine upstanding citizens, So crisply draped, so brightly gowned; The marvel of these denizens, So rarely seen, so well renowned.

The Natural World
Read the words upon the page Depicting how was such an age That, then, ensconced in everyday In truth, permitted Hell to play. Where age with all it's wisdom gleaned Should logically be rightly seen As guidance for emerging youth Where past mistakes impart as truth. Though tragically, bereft as seen, The actuality now doth scream For youth doth relegate to grass Aged wisdom's pearls.... as shattered glass. Dispersed amid the flotsam tide Lies that which salves salvation's hide, Lies that which wreaks of God's works, twist, Dispersed through cold, Alzheimer mist. The waste of ancient eyes at rest Expelled, devoid of life, at best But should a crisis start to burn Old minds may co-opt young to learn? History makes the paradigm That thumps the lesson home, with time, In squandering the wealth of age We burn the story, tear the page. Now delegated to the shelf Immersed in indignation's self Old wallow in blue pity's taint Inhibited by self restraint. But then the moment comes around When happenstance, by chance compound, When youth, of clear complexioned face, May stumble into mute disgrace.... Thence whilst the Angel trumpets grace Whence in that vacant, silenced space, Then flows of wisdom tumble thine From lips that spake in ancient time. Knowledge held in Holy Grail Empirically forth then, when regaled, As pomp and circumstance decreed Should all, combined then, .... be agreed? M. 9th December 2022 Foxglove@Taranaki,NZ.

Translucence of a Generational Transfer
The stranger rode up as we sat round the fire it was burning down low and we were beginning to tire He tied off his ride By some brush by a boulder He was just a young lad Though in the dark he looked older We offered him coffee said sit down, have a cup We said if you're hungry There's still food to sup He accepted and thanked us Said he'd got lost on the trail With the north winter winds Bringing on early hail He pulled up a stump I saw a slight flash of tin I said "you're a lawman" he just gave a grin I'm from up in Kansas was back to my home Had to visit my mama she's all on her own I poured him a coffee And I told him what's what I said it isn't the best But, it's sure as heck hot I smiled at his lie And I stoked at the fire I thought to myself This man's a liar I said "in this here circle" "we may not all be friends" "so, toss a log on this fire" "and we'll hear how this ends" He reached for a log placed it in, didn't throw didn't reach for the poker moved it round with his toe "The rules of the fire" "Is that the tender regales" "The rest of the members" "with a song or some tales' "since you just got here" "and the fire is hot" "tell us a story" "give the best that you've got" He shuffled a little Took a sip, and began And it just took a minute To hook us all, every man He talked of the rustlers He'd been chasing around How they got in a shoot out How, they'd all gone to ground He lived life a plenty For a man of his age He was just twenty three But, he spoke out like a sage He'd regaled us with stories As the fire burned low We were all getting tired But, we did not want to go He pushed at the embers Again with his boot He finished his coffee And he lit a cheroot For two hours he talked Since the fire rules said that the fire was his Till we chose to all bed When we woke in the morning We found he took flight He left our small fire In the dead of the night The fire was burning And there was a fresh *** of brew But the stranger was missing And our saddle bags too I was right when I reckoned That he was telling us lies I could tell from the way He didn't look in our eyes The boots didn't fit He was just stretching them out By heating them up in the fire and moving about He sure was no lawman He was a teller of tales Truths , half truths and lies He had them by the pail We packed up our camp Tried to pick up the trail Of this campfire thief With the devilish tail We knew we'd find him For liars repeat He'd come back to our fire And we'd give him a seat....

Now the first leaves, golden, Falling, fluttering tranquilly. Breeze becomes wind, A slight chill present. Summer ending, Fall in the air, You can smell it, see it, Touch it, even taste it. Saturday, Freeway fills with cars, Flags flying, team colors displaying, Car Horns honking, people waving. Mighty Ducks are beating their wings, Getting ready, who could have known? That Ducks having no teeth, Could be so very ferocious, Tenacious, combative, thrilling. Tailgating celebrating, Throngs of laughing people, moving Pennants showing, blowing in the wind, Through the gates into the huge arena. Filling the stands, waiting spectacle’s beginning. Band blares spirited tunes, people and Students cheering, Ear splitting, the grandstands Vibrating, spines a tingling, tension mounting. Among great fan fare, the Gladiators emerge, Regaled in colorful Costumes for combat, Helmets gleaming in the sun, Muscles bulging young men strut and pose, In spirited pent up raw anticipation, Soldier-players moving now as one, As a well practiced oiled machine, Each part supporting the other.   Each knowing its own function, Resulting in precise synchronization. A time and place where boys become men. Beautiful young women, under dressed, Bosoms bouncing, pompoms waving Add to the Circus flavor of spectacle rising. Only a game? None in the bowl knows that. No one cares to think so, it is more than that, It is war, it is life, it‘s aggression without death, It is pride without regret; it is a melding of hearts, And expectations, of loyalties to a common goal, It is a Saturday in the sun and fall air, a chance to Yell and cheer for youth in flower, to feel and fear An inevitable outcome not yet predetermined. To ebb and flow all human emotions, To hopefully all, end the day a winner, Or perhaps display compassion for the looser.   To feel alive, to participate in life’s cycle of living. Football, just a game? Don’t you believe it.

Snared heart kept, imprisoned could be potential dying day, Lips regaled in ischaemia, blue blood,flows.....cold, Face scarlet,temperatures up, pyrexia rules, as she tries too cool, Mouthing strange babble, She's talking in tongues, Beaded mask sparkling, droplets trickle, Tachycardic, heart beats, trying not to escape this life desperately, Heart trying not to explode! the forties....roaring! She breathes, so fast... the forties....roaring! It's tragic,like everything's trying to meet demand with supply........! Inadequately, Currently on remand, waiting for her sentence to be be passed, Docs and nurses they rally, running with obs, All taking their roles, while doing their jobs, Mews activated, doc visits he's, anxious, Iv antibiotics he orders, In plastic sachet, hanging up high, hereby, lies the awaited decision, if she'll have the will to live, or will she die... Hope not! It's not in an instant, but, recovery apparent, as breathing slows below twelve, Heart beat, it settles, Her kidneys show function, Her temperature chills slowly, 36.5, she's still alive, Thank God, She got off the train at sepsis junction!

Sepsis!
As a non-golfing husband I revel at tales Of sunshine filled days chasing small ***** Some in the rough others in sand, All these brave girls fighting nature's pitfalls. I hear of the times the flock of wild ducks Hindered a drive that was perfectly hit, And what of those trees that magically moved With a subsequent shout 'I just want to quit'. But then I'm regaled with feats of great skill Such as the time a Birdie was made, Out comes the flask, big glugs all around, Magical moments that no-one would trade. They say Golf's a passion a lifelong pursuit, One day may be heaven the other pure hell, Neither cool mornings nor that full midday heat, Apparently stops that will to excel. Yet there's one thing I notice each week, Yes the real pleasure from playing the game And what's not to like from those magical views But without one's good friends the day's not the same. So to all poor Golf widowers awoken by shrilling alarms, Then never quite knowing what time we'll see our fair brides, There's a much higher calling we can but embrace, 'Happy wife happy life' the true gift this pastime provides.

A Golfing Wife
So I was hanging with my friends the other day We were on a sledding hill where we talked and sat I stood up for a second and one of them said, How'd you get those marks on your back? So i sat down again and indulged them, I regaled to them this very ****** tale It all started in my living room on a cold winters night I know that description is stale So It was hockey night in my house, At the time no one was home When I heard a loud knock at my door I wasn't for long alone A lovely girl I've known for a little while Red hair, cute dimples and brown eyes I invited her in and we began to eat After we were finished I returned to my hockey night, I was focused on the game, but she got my attention I was wearing loose lounge pants, I failed to mention, She took my member out, and played with it teasing At this night it was her I would be pleasing We started off on the couch, kissing each other, on my crotch she began to grind I bit her lip and ****** on her neck I was lust drunk and she was my wine She slid my pants off of my body, and she looked me dead in the eyes She said "This here, is mine for tonight, and right now I'm going to ride" She was so warm and so wet, it almost drove me crazy, She bounced on me slow and then slightly faster, She was definitely far from lazy I was getting more and more excited, she wanted me to take control, So we moved onto the floor And I slid myself in and gave her *** from my heart and soul But alas all good things must come to an end Even great *** cannot last So she rode me again, reverse cowgirl And I released all over her tight ***

The rain that fell the night before had never seen the sun. The early birds were bathing in the rainbows of the dawn. Morning came, regaled in blue - and blazed a trump of Spring. It rallied over damp and dark - berserk with songs to sing. The rain that fell the night before had never seen the like. The laughing dew had never known the magnitude of sky. Nor laughter had it known at all. " How long have trees been green ? " the answer had to wait for god to know his dream had dreams The rain that fell the night before had never wept a grain. Had never felt a feeling that a cloud could never name. The rain became a mirror that had never seen a soul but knew, somehow it had one to savor the unknown.

The Rain That Fell The Night Before
. In the absence of her— The night is long and I am still, Breathing in the vacant minutes That fade and fall only to reappear When least unbidden, when only lost In droning dream my heart is bleeding, For final days to come, if only as delusion, I wait for the bewitching hours of drunken wine And tearing rose, until it falls, all goes running, Her voice like apparition comes, so sensual Are the hours— that long for the body of her Voice, the crisp cantatas of her woken eyes, The blush and the strums of her fingers, fey As they mercilessly play with mortal mine, In these last, longing hours I am— as I was, Heir to her voice, now, so— we alone toast, To my spare thee, red haired 'Green Faery,' Honored lost, sweet angel of my horror, “Le Fin Absolue du Monde.” This praise is my principality, echoes of moors, Stations, entrenched by murky moat, modes Of funereal reds— maddening strands of her Strange hairs breath, false songs, by forte Nights, wounds, crowning lips of thorn As they flower and smoke me out. How do I fear but do not dread, Regaled in crest fallen silences, My deathly aubade of days?

Falling Star Sonata
her languid face stirs slowly from its lines and within it harbours an echo of alarm as the thoughts like distant thunderstorm that rises on the sky awaken within her fleeting moments chase each other across her eye each one bearing the weight of meaning a little further than the last until the final one gasping and sweating it lay its burden to a fitful rest on the doorpost of her denials like a blood stained accusation like a scarlet letter she greases her hands to the task and works muscle and bone against the tide but it is a idea birthed in folly it is a concept of true lies harrowing tales regaled around table of men who strove and men who wept thouse who slipped benith the waves with desperate plea sent forth having failed and thouse who triumph plays over and over in old age's eye but none were ever told that did not bear her tainted signature ink and sweat in fine carved lines on her dusty limbs she now sees that she too must one day face fates indifferent game must one day choose and risk all at the hand of chance her hands greased to the task her true lies shatter resistance break stone tales to regale tonight of the maidens ink and sweat delicate lines on her ***** dusty limbs

***** dusty limbs
1.Thorn A thorn is nothing but a wish stubborn, with an earnest point to make a deep impact. 2.Her Reality The core of a nightmare broke loose, is she, dislocated in a space on broad day light ready for someone with a yen, for day dreaming. 3.A borrowed Deja vu He suspects his love life, in vain is piece of a well orchestrated ordeal, of some one regaled much in pain; just a cosmic 'cut and paste' job! 4.Tiger's aesthestics "A match perfect, for me, you are a befitting target" growled the greedy tiger, as he sighted the gazelle. 5.Unique Day and night act so well as the opposites, yet they complement ad infinitum,without any complaint, and sans even a trace of pride or  jealousy. Everything, even those looking diametrically opposite to untrained eyes, are uniquely meaningful.

A cocky look
Love me for who I am Love me for who I can be Love me for what your  love can make me. Love me not for who I was For the past is gone Regaled to the memories of yesterday. But love me for tomorrow The promise of which is your love. For love alone can make me Elevate me with your loving Rain on me, dry as a bone Starved of comfort Eyes set on the road ahead Fading soul calls out Any hope is a straw to hang on to For the hopeless a mirage To survive and sustain Long before the shadows dim Parched soul, fill the ache Return with your love Magnificent and transcendent The desert blooms An oasis in the midst of misery Life is what you make of it And I want to make mine scenic Paint the hues of love Amethyst and Amber Garnet and topaz Like the rising dawn The beauty of which brings hope On the horizon of my yearning soul.

Under the murky water of consciousness, there are one or more, even a shoal of fish. On the bank,I sit, a  brooding moon on it, reflects, looks like it swims in the sins of clouds, My fish-line and hook lay limp on the grass bank, I've to catch the fish,the line is strong, baits ready, But I am enamored by the moon's reflected glory on the water,a lover of the moon, I'd love to catch as much fish,without breaking the watery moon. To forgo the love of illusions,keep focused and wait. deep inside one has to decide,what to seek from life whether to walk the hard path where  wisdom trees line up, or heartily be regaled by the pyrotechnics of apparitions.

The fish I would catch
I spent some time on the river and for awhile told people I was a sailor. I casually explained how I spent my days surrounded by nothing but the blue; battling creatures of the deep and Mother Nature herself in her greatest venue. But that was only my imagination. I walked in the woods by my house for an afternoon and for awhile told people I was a hunter. I recalled times where I'd spent days on end stalking my prey, moving swiftly and silently through the colossal forests I'd grown to call my home; relying solely on myself and my primal instincts to stay alive. But that was only my imagination. I wrote some words and for awhile told people I was poet. I regaled them with elaborate stories woven with imagery and emotion, which were crafted with the greatest of ease. I revealed that with a simple tale I could draw a tremendous crowd, and have the children laughing while the adults sat misty-eyed, reminiscing on days past. But that was only my imagination. I considered giving the vagrant on my corner some change and for awhile told people I was a famous tycoon. I briefly described my youth spent earning my millions with a cutthroat ferocity, but also how I was now defined by my remarkable philanthropy. I was adored by the masses for my role as a model of charity. But that was only my imagination. I spent some time with a girl and for awhile told myself I was in love. I knew that we were happy and nothing would ever change. I dreamed that our love would grow with each and every passing day, while we grew old in each other's embrace.                                      But that too was only my imagination.

Imagination
I spent some time on the river and for awhile told people I was a sailor. I casually explained how I spent my days surrounded by nothing but the blue; battling creatures of the deep and Mother Nature herself in her greatest venue. But that was only my imagination. I walked in the woods by my house for an afternoon and for awhile told people I was a hunter. I recalled times where I'd spent days on end stalking my prey, moving swiftly and silently through the colossal forests I'd grown to call my home; relying solely on myself and my primal instincts to stay alive. But that was only my imagination. I wrote some words and for awhile told people I was poet. I regaled them with elaborate stories woven with imagery and emotion, which were crafted with the greatest of ease. I revealed that with a simple tale I could draw a tremendous crowd, and have the children laughing while the adults sat misty-eyed, reminiscing on days past. But that was only my imagination. I considered giving the vagrant on my corner some change and for awhile told people I was a famous tycoon. I briefly described my youth spent earning my millions with a cutthroat ferocity, but also how I was now defined by my remarkable philanthropy. I was adored by the masses for my role as a model of charity. But that was only my imagination. I spent some time with a girl and for awhile told myself I was in love.

I dreamed that our love would grow with each and every passing day, while we grew old in each other's embrace.                                      But that too was only my imagination.

All was broken All has broke And all shall break again, Unless sweet bells Doth ring their tune Above thy love dear Ben And who was now acquainted with Thy lovesick melody Not the bride Not the friend But the bride to be Listen not to the stories told For they are all, regaled from ole’ With all your heart’s intentions; behold All was broken All has broke And shall break overtime Apologies, spilled from his lips Like poison into wine The bride, heart smothered, with tainted grin Smiled sickly sweet to see Not the groom Not the friend But the bride to be Hear not the tales told For they all regale, from crimes of ole’ With all your heart’s intentions; behold All was broken All has broke And all is breaking now As lovers ghosts parade the halls She’ll take her final bow No paramount could be found Witness to the scene When love turned red Who was dead? The bride The groom And bride to be So tell not of stories told Nor of love regaled from ole’ And with all your heart’s intentions; behold. All was broken All has broke And all shall break again When thou play the game of love You cannot but end up dead
