Why do I love You, Sir?
upon the elephant rode a boy prince, his royal command, he was there to evince. dark with grace and dripping with youth. bringing his men, his crown and his couth. town after town he strode fierce through the gates. and any detractors were left to cruel fates. and on one windy day, as they strode into town. the faces where tenfold and a hush passed around the grey of the creature with knowing black eyes swayed left towards the crowd as if to capsize. and the mass gasped in horror; bairns seized by their mam. men flung at young ladies, babes pulled from the pram. the bewildered and flustered tired elephant sat. in the center of all on the bald pastors hat. the old pastor looked stunned to see such a disgrace. until he remembered, and composed his face. 'your highness' he bowed. his manners restored. but the poor prince was toppled his mighty seat floored. they gasped for the prince, just really a child dressed in fine silks on this elephant wild. pastor said, 'here now' extending an arm hand wrinkled and gnarled from the land that he farmed. then the guards sprung to life as if sudden awake guns point to the man of whose life they would take. and just as they squinted their eye for the aim a boy sang out sweetly, 'sire he's not to blame!' and the prince from street where he lay in pool held up his hand and recovered his rule. he looked at the crowd and he said 'boy now speak' the boy said, 'prince it is the prayers that you seek. the prayers that you'd visit. the prayers that you'd stay. lord must of heard them and granted this way.' his eyes wide with truth and the love of his church the prince laughed a beautiful belly filled lurch. the carriage was called as the prince shared a feast. and even some water was splashed on the beast. such a good time as he danced and he spun till the horses arrived in the dust of a run. to thank the town and the lovely haired boy the young prince gave up his own precious toy. the beast stays quite put in the center of town... but prayers said no more...so the prince won't fall down. sahn 04/10/2014

Reinaldo was the name they gave the great white elephant Who came to clear the jungles around Sao Paulo A clever notion that because Reinaldo was born in the jungle Any jungle would do just fine, Brazilian or Siamese made no difference Just as clever was the notion that because I was a black man, educated I would do just fine directing other black men to do work, English or Portuguese made no difference Was I truly so much a fool, twice over? Reinaldo occasionally was afflicted with slothfulness Some of the men thought it was from lack of **** and whip I was of a mind that it was due to lack of companionship It was costly enough to ship one giant beast across a great sea I left a wife, in Maryland, whom I never loved and who never loved me I admit before the plan was in motion I never considered that Reinaldo could have a family Sometimes, I wonder, did he have a wife who never loved him? Loneliness became a common theme in our new home away from home And Reinaldo and I became friends, at least I thought of him fondly As far as I could say, of all the men he responded best to me At times it seemed a load of lumber was hauled as a personal favor For the handler too soft to handle with fear and anger But as much as loneliness was a theme, so was change, and death The lifespan of an elephant compares to the lifespan of men Were this scheme of mine to have worked as desired I could have sent for a cow, and made Reinaldo a sire Soon it was revealed that slothfulness was a symptom of an elephant young, healthy and wise Who sensed not his own, but a friend's imminent demise Now I am left to wonder how Reinaldo will fare in a world stranger than I could have known His softest handler and only friend bedridden, waiting for my disease to take its final toll

Liar Liar
Said the king to the colonel, 'The complaints are eternal, That you Irish give more trouble Than any other corps.' Said the colonel to the king, 'This complaint is no new thing, For your foemen, sire, have made it A hundred times before.'

The Irish Colonel
Visiting a friend on his Quarter Horse farm, the day sunny and warm. We walked out to his brood mare pasture, the ladies were running, awaiting and sunning, anticipation in the air and their nervous behavior. Noble his name, consistency his game, a reliable aging stallion, sire to many fine sons and daughters, years of proven pairings, came halter led and prancing. He had their scent and his spirit awakened, the three ladies believed to be in season began to snigger and whinny, their excitement growing as the stallion entered their grassy domain, the dance was about to commence. The handler led the big fella' forward, both sides began their quizzical inspections. one young filly more aggressively willing than the others. Noble excitedly returned her heightened interest. Within a few minutes Noble began to rear up, he knew his job, his august appendage extended, trying several times to mount his mate intended, adrenaline pumping his back legs began to shake, on his fourth failed attempt the eager proven suitor fell to the ground, rolled over, paused for a moment and struggled to stand on unsteady legs. Appearing even somewhat embarrassed. The mare moved aside, kicked her hind legs in the stallion's direction, whinnied loudly and ran away. Rejected the old stallion stood looking perplexed, failure was something unknown to him. His spirit was willing but his aging body was weak. The old stud slowly returned to the barn, his head hung low, no longer prancing. For every time and being there is a season, aging is part of the cycle, like this stallion, we all reach this moment of understanding. Sometimes gracefully, most times with stunned disbelief. From Noble to nothing in one afternoon.

On winter’s margin, see the small birds now With half-forged memories come flocking home To gardens famous for their charity. The green globe’s broken; vines like tangled veins Hang at the entrance to the silent wood. With half a loaf, I am the prince of crumbs; By snow’s down, the birds amassed will sing Like children for their sire to walk abroad! But what I love, is the gray stubborn hawk Who floats alone beyond the frozen vines; And what I dream of are the patient deer Who stand on legs like reeds and drink that wind; - They are what saves the world: who choose to grow Thin to a starting point beyond this squalor.

On Winter's Margin
Discoboli of African poetry has now sparked above aphasia The aphasic silence today breaks eardrums with cacophony Of the world audience in the by standing duty of workshop tubes, Executing poetic experiment on the origin of **** poeticus To link the archaic baboonish proteins to the black chimpanzee Cradling African man, the sire of all and their poetry. That when the Chimpanzee blood we poured Into the African veins of vena cava and aorta, Feeding the heart with viscosity of nutrition, And the Chimpanzee blood fell into deadly Tomperousness like Shakespearean impetuosity Once seen in Romeo and Juliet, giving timely Birth To untimely half the yellow Sun That juxtaposed planet of poetry Behind the star of tribe as a priority Condemning to stark oblivion all the fated, in full uniform of tribal dimunitions, or mimesis. Ever predated on when tribes form nations. A time to try the chimpanzee blood in the veins Of white humanity, battling cynosure Historically evinced in Antony and his father, Or Tybalt and Mercurial of mercutio, Or Macbeth and counterparts Or Hamlet the Danish and the inheritors of his mother, As the white blood cells of the white blood, Militantly attack the white corpuscles Of the misfortunate chimpanzee, Converting the later into A chewer of misfortune.

CHIMPANZEE BLOOD INSIDE AFRICAN VEINES
1059 Sang from the Heart, Sire, Dipped my Beak in it, If the Tune drip too much Have a tint too Red Pardon the Cochineal— Suffer the Vermillion— Death is the Wealth Of the Poorest Bird. Bear with the Ballad— Awkward—faltering— Death twists the strings— ’Twasn’t my blame— Pause in your Liturgies— Wait your Chorals— While I repeat your Hallowed name—

Sang from the Heart, Sire
Listen my dear daughter, to my first song of caution Earmarked for you my wonderful sire, come and listen, That tall old man with white hair all over his head Standing over there is not good; he is gnomish in the mind Be careful with him, he is not human in the heart But a mermaid of Yoruba poetry, just like Thespis of Greece Even the pecuniary psychopomp of Sweden gave him an accolade His heart is selfishly full of avarice; he wants everything for himself, Don’t recite him any of your poetry, lest he spells an abyss Against your juvenile poetic talent, he will fool you with a gift; A white sheep or a scarlet goat for your birth day anniversary Please don’t take it or anything else from him, as nothing from him is genuine But only machinations of evil spell aimed at mahyeming your talent Finally to decimate your girlhood and life, this is my caution For you dear little African girl. Listen my dear little daughter, to my second song of caution That short man in a Muslim gear loafing yonder, is suspect The Muslim beret on his head is merely a smokescreen to aghastly behaviour He is in no way an avatar of god of love and humane piety He is a terrorist working with Boko Haram and Algaeda He is an Alshabab that is bombing young girls in Mombasa and Nairobi All over Kenya he has killed the young people; his long egret-white sari is not for holiness, It is merely a nefarious sanctum of grenades, other tools of work in terrorism trade His loudly prayers, body movements and pocket bursting monies are only a stunt To have you kidnapped into death conduit, once you goof to join his courts, His sanctimony is a total picaresque film, (s)heroes of terror the centerpiece And thus, this is my caution for you dear little African girl. Listen my dear daughter, to my third song of caution Those tourists thronging our streets are deadly *** pets, they also skulk **** Their handsome outlook is not a stamp to any good conscientiousness They derive pleasure from poverty and *** tourism; they yearn to see a girl in poverty, Often rarely will they help an African girl, out of milieu of beggarly squalorism, Instead they go straight for the purse between your thighs, Regardless of the legacy they leave out of this lewdness, they are showy, They regret not in their Byronic broadcast of *** and fatherless urchins in the poor streets Foundation for their further poverty tourism, this is my caution for you dear little African girl.

From the black recesses of the earth She rose from her long slumber Icy death smile on her crimson lips Face gleaming with wicked knowledge Slanted eyes of emerald green Glazed and mad Her crown jewels of the dead Bleached human bones Encircled her head Fine glass complexion of shimmering gold She spoke the words of The Sleeping Three Hair falling in rich waves down to the floor of snakes The color of the crows breast A rich purple ebony Snake scale gown of finely woven human skins Gathered from her poor victims sin Wrapped round her lithe body A thousand souls it took to weave Awakened from its dark sleep Spells cast in  hell's deep By a powerful witch Who stirred the cauldron Tainted with revenge The demon was now visible to sight The apparition appeared in smoke and orange red light To bow down and submit to the witches bidding The command never waived from intent One of chaos and death Slaughtered, cold in rows they lay Pity for the one this creature seeks Of a terrible perfume her heart reeks That of blood and brimstone Perfumed smoke and fire The devil is her line and sire So by demons touch Plotting cold hands She claims the souls of mortal man More thread for her clothing The beautiful demon This poem is copyrighted and stored in author base.

The Beautiful Demon
If I should have a son, Instead of mom, he's gonna call me Support That way he knows, no matter what happens, I'll be there to hold open the heavy doors. And I'm gonna paint the solar systems on the fronts of his game controllers So he has to learn the entire universe before he can say "I'll school you in that!" And he's gonna learn that this life will bury you Deep Underground Wait for you to claw your way out just to throw dirt in your eyes But not being able to see which way is up is the only way to remind your pupils how much they enjoy the beauty of this earth And there is hurt here, that cannot be fixed by alcohol or drugs So when he realizes Superman isn't coming, I'll make sire he doesn't have to wear the cape all by himself "And sweetie" I'll tell him, "dont let your head get so big" I know that trick, I've seen it a million times, you're just looking to impress that pretty girl on the cheer squad who picks on other kids to adjust her own self worth Or better yet, date the girls getting picked on, then dump her to adjust YOUR self worth. But I know he will anyways So I'll always keep an extra supply of "I taught you betters" and "Treat girls rights" Even though all boys learn that at a young age... Okay, most boys don't, But that's what moms are for They'll teach you to be amazing husbands if you let them. When he opens his hands to catch, and drops the ball When the girl he likes says no to going on that date with him when it feels like the world is crashing in Those are the days he has all the more reason to say thank you, because there is nothing more beautiful than the way the sun refuses to stop kissing the horizon, no matter how many hours it must spend spinning away. And yes, on a scale of one to greatest, moms pretty much know it all But I want him to know that this world will throw curveballs that I can't see And he can't be afraid to put on his mitt and catch it himself "And sweetie" I'll tell him Remember your momma is a queen, and your poppa is a king and you are the boy with big eyes and a willing heart who never stops trying Your aren't big yet, but don't stop growing And when they finally hand you heartache, when they slip peer pressure and sin under your door and give you hand outs on street corners of druggies and defeat. you tell them that they really outta meet Your Mother

we met like two birds landing on a wire and chattered with our chirping sounds that sing at distance where no flights could we conspire though thoughts of love nests set our ******* on fire like humans holding tight to form a ring we met like two birds landing on a wire that laid upon the face of earth's attire so far that only light-boxes could bring at distance where no flights could we conspire yet caught by love like wings snagged in a brier two lovebirds sought to ease loneliness's sting we met like two birds landing on a wire and dreamed since then of hatchlings we could sire with eggshells cracking at the scent of Spring at distance where no flights could we conspire above the clouds now dreams have floated higher and soaring past the heavens there do sing we met like two birds landing on a wire at distance where no flights could we conspire (C)2012, Christos Rigakos

"- the comely ***** -"
Steamy hot lazy summer day, Layin' around, not much to say. No surprise and not by chance, Is the thought of you in skintight pants. Is it midday? It got real warm, No, just a reaction to the upcoming storm. Not here are you, but it matters little, I will play my member, just like a fiddle. My thoughts of you burning desire, My manliness climbs higher and higher. Sensual lips pressed up against mine, Tasting better than a classic wine. Your southern lips they burn like fire, As I stroke them, soon we will sire. I place my lips to the burning mound, And kiss and tease, you fall to the ground. I climb upon you and hear you say, "Wait a minute, I have a better way." You climb upon me and rock and ****** Until my body turns to powdered dust. We lay together and fall a sleep, Secret is our *** I can keep. The next thing I know I open my eyes, And you are before me, to my surprise. "Hi honey, how was your day?" I grab you and tell you, "it went this way." Visit poemsbypaul.com

Daydreaming
Some time ago in the furnace below Grew restless the ruler of sin; He dug through His closet Composed a composite Consisting of a violin. The underworld rang with Delectable twang As Lucifer plucked on His strings; E'en angels flew down Allured by the sound Til Cerberus plucked off their wings. Eventually Satan grew bored of this, too; That thrill-seeking ******* must capture the new; So up to the land of the living He flew; Disguised as a figure whom everyone knew. First on the agenda of any pretender: Extinguish the genuine soul; He arrived in Genoa Disguised as a boa And silently swallowed him whole.   With Europe His playground The Devil, He made sound That no one alive had yet heard; He fiddled and plucked, Gambled and ****** Until inside Him syphilis stirred.   His physical shell He now had to retire; Back to the depths of the black and the fire; Forever above will the humans admire; The legend of strings; the king; the sire.

Daughter of Jove, relentless Power, Thou tamer of the human breast, Whose iron scourge and tort’ring hour The Bad affright, afflict the Best! Bound in thy adamantine chain The Proud are taught to taste of pain, And purple Tyrants vainly groan With pangs unfelt before, unpitied and alone. When first thy Sire to send on earth Virtue, his darling child, designed, To thee he gave the heav’nly Birth, And bade to form her infant mind. Stern rugged Nurse! thy rigid lore With patience many a year she bore: What sorrow was, thou bad’st her know, And from her own she learned to melt at others’ woe. Scared at thy frown terrific, fly Self-pleasing Folly’s idle brood, Wild Laughter, Noise, and thoughtless Joy, And leave us leisure to be good. Light they disperse, and with them go The summer Friend, the flatt’ring Foe; By vain Prosperity received, To her they vow their truth, and are again believed. Wisdom in sable garb arrayed Immersed in rapt’rous thought profound, And Melancholy, silent maid With leaden eye, that loves the ground, Still on thy solemn steps attend: Warm Charity, the gen’ral Friend, With Justice, to herself severe, And Pity dropping soft the sadly-pleasing tear. Oh, gently on thy Suppliant’s head, Dread Goddess, lay thy chast’ning hand! Not in thy Gorgon terrors clad, Not circled with the vengeful Band (As by the Impious thou art seen), With thund’ring voice, and threat’ning mien, With screaming Horror’s funeral cry, Despair, and fell Disease, and ghastly Poverty. Thy form benign, O Goddess, wear, Thy milder influence impart, Thy philosophic Train be there To soften, not to wound my heart. The gen’rous spark extinct revive, Teach me to love and to forgive, Exact my own defects to scan, What others are, to feel, and know myself a Man.

When fierce conflicting passions urge The breast, where love is wont to glow, What mind can stem the stormy surge Which rolls the tide of human woe? The hope of praise, the dread of shame, Can rouse the tortur’d breast no more; The wild desire, the guilty flame, Absorbs each wish it felt before. But if affection gently thrills The soul, by purer dreams possest, The pleasing balm of mortal ills In love can soothe the aching breast: If thus thou comest in disguise, Fair Venus! from thy native heaven, What heart, unfeeling, would despise The sweetest boon the Gods have given? But, never from thy golden bow, May I beneath the shaft expire! Whose creeping venom, sure and slow, Awakes an all-consuming fire: Ye racking doubts! ye jealous fears! With others wage internal war; Repentance! source of future tears, From me be ever distant far! May no distracting thoughts destroy The holy calm of sacred love! May all the hours be winged with joy, Which hover faithful hearts above! Fair Venus! on thy myrtle shrine May I with some fond lover sigh! Whose heart may mingle pure with mine, With me to live, with me to die! My native soil! belov’d before, Now dearer, as my peaceful home, Ne’er may I quit thy rocky shore, A hapless banish’d wretch to roam! This very day, this very hour, May I resign this fleeting breath! Nor quit my silent humble bower; A doom, to me, far worse than death. Have I not heard the exile’s sigh, And seen the exile’s silent tear, Through distant climes condemn’d to fly, A pensive, weary wanderer here? Ah! hapless dame! no sire bewails, No friend thy wretched fate deplores, No kindred voice with rapture hails Thy steps within a stranger’s doors. Perish the fiend! whose iron heart To fair affection’s truth unknown, Bids her he fondly lov’d depart, Unpitied, helpless, and alone; Who ne’er unlocks with silver key, The milder treasures of his soul; May such a friend be far from me, And Ocean’s storms between us roll!

Translation From The “Medea” Of Euripides
When fierce conflicting passions urge The breast, where love is wont to glow, What mind can stem the stormy surge Which rolls the tide of human woe? The hope of praise, the dread of shame, Can rouse the tortur’d breast no more; The wild desire, the guilty flame, Absorbs each wish it felt before. But if affection gently thrills The soul, by purer dreams possest, The pleasing balm of mortal ills In love can soothe the aching breast: If thus thou comest in disguise, Fair Venus! from thy native heaven, What heart, unfeeling, would despise The sweetest boon the Gods have given? But, never from thy golden bow, May I beneath the shaft expire! Whose creeping venom, sure and slow, Awakes an all-consuming fire: Ye racking doubts! ye jealous fears!

. Henry VIII was a deluded monarch, he could never have ruled the Earth, for he hasn't seen his **** for years, hiding beneath the bulk of his girth. And wobbling onto the battle field is not the behaviour fit for a King, he would have to sit nursing his cysts and hoping the ointments don't sting. His eating excess was cause for concern but his syphilis remained largely unseen, and one really has to feel so sorry for whomever it is that is currently Queen. His penchant for young and younger Ladies made him a stranger to baths and soap, and his bed hopping antics to sire a son bought him much trouble from the pope. © Pagan Paul (09/12/18)

Henry VIII
No quibbling siblings musing in the shallows, patriotism must be dealt with at it's route markers. They are all twisted. It is the duty of right thinkers to untwist and shout, All ye, All ye or Oy ye, Oy ye Outs (never Ox) in free. The ransom has been paid, the game of hide and watch is played. Touch, eh? Nature's what? Original state? Perfected state? Fractured state patched with circuit breaking dams and weirs. Nature's God, the mind behind Nature. whose were the buffalo the servants of christmas replaced with sacred cows offered and eaten in Outback Steak Houses at Indian Casino Super TAs from sea to shining sea? Whose God commanded that? Whose God permuted that? Who has sown bullheads in the squash? Shall we pull them up? Let the children pull them up. Teach them to see the tiny round leave, which is to be squash or watermelon, sosweet, or water-stealing, sticker-making **** Goatheads in little running feet all summer long, ouch. ouch. ouch. Knowledge is power. Power is not lost. Is that enough to know and grow to know more and to spare? Is enough abundance enough to spare and share? Yes. On a broken planet, men of both model may make enough of anything they desire, or sire in their best happy ever after scheme or schema. That part never broke. The tongue-mind interface, that fried. Listen. Wisdom never shouts, you know.

Nature and Nature's God, everybody knows what that means right?
Alexander K Opicho (Eldoret, Kenya;[email protected]) There are more and more misfortunes in the world Known to you dear people in your diverse conditions, But my life and experience has taught me unique lessons Of kindred to befit me Elizabeth, a daughter of Zinjathropus Hailing in the savannah desert, Turkana County of Kenya, I have graduated in to a single lady without test of marriage, As desert men look at me in their irritating impotence, **** clothes wrapped around their slender waists passing on me Like a dog passing on American dollars; cursed be desert men, I thought my beauty of dark African complexions will give them a ****** tease But to my chagrin; desert men have a fear of beautiful ladies My conscience tells me that my beauty is an eye sore to them, I thought my bulging hips will entice them as is a promise of fertility Leave alone not to mention my concupiscent ****** warmth, uhmmm! Desert men have dared not to see and appreciate my **** bossom, They often pass on me driving their donkeys and emaciated carmels, I thought my ***** sharp pointed ******* assign of virginity Will call them to me into a treat of love, affiliative love, But sadly enough; these dudes are erotically blind, They they nonchalantly pass on my **** ***** Wielding a begging bowl in their ***** long hands Running like drunkard chimpanzees going to Oxfam stores to beg for food, Cursed be Oxfam an imperialist agent, it has crashed flat The testicles of our desert brothers into ****** insensitivity, Oxfam has made African desert men to beg like Hebrew lepers Other than standing up on their feet to feed their women, Normally as men would do from the sweat of their brow, I thought my education will attract them to me, To love me with those romantic University kisses, But desert men have crude cultures and slavish religion They rebuke girl child education as if it is a devil, Oh my dear God of the forsaken desert ladies Of the forsaken African daughters, Take me out of this ****** desert Take me out of the city desert of Lodwar, Take me to the equator line and give me a husband, My eggs are pretty ready to conceive and sire children Sons and daughters for your own glory O almighty God, Take me out of this ****** desert, Where no man treats a modern woman, Take me out of here and give me a fresh man of my dream. Because I have known from today; It is accurse to be a woman in Africa It is a curse to be a beautiful lady in African deserts It is a curse to be a woman graduate in the African desert It is a curse to have ***** ******* in the African desert, O! Help me God.
