"watchmen" poems
Willets cull the seawall snapper on the grill rock ***** swoon in shallow lagoons long boats pass under quiet palm shade Plovers dance and flutter handrails frayed and torn graffiti spots at lovers rock frigate-birds fall from a high noon sun Thatched roof on a mud wall fish flags settle score anchors arch in front line march pillar cracks form under rust brown scars Elegant tern and grebe watchmen fall in cue children play on crested waves whimbrels and notchers perch above Tentaciones Striped pelícanos the bandits of the sea! merchants grow in steady flow siblings jostle in a tide cooled sand Heerman gull and boobie durango smoke in yurt boiler shrimp and puffer blimp castle buckets and scrapers under a dusk light cheroot Six pulls on a lead line painted toes in sand shearwater run in a rainbow sun the portly mexicano flaunts his tacos and wares Rooster house for swordfish bamboo shoots and sails broken shells and ocean swells rise on the perfect La Ropa bay

Batman, Superman, Iron Man to I cant fly I can not turn blue? Captain America, Wolverine, Flash, I cant shoot lazers from my eyes or be there in a dash. X-men, Watchmen, Xavier too, im not from krypton or mutated from a Zoo. Im not another hero I was rasied as a zero, through words I can inspire and now retire.

Not Another Hero
I spy with my little eye Everyone and all The faintest smile The subtlest sign Everything strange and worrying And all that is normal Perhaps too normal And don’t feel scared It’s in your best interest That wicked smiles And dangerous signs And everything strange and worrying Is brought under attention Of people you can trust And don’t ask yourself Who is watching the watchmen With wicked ways And subtle methods It’s better to sit and relax And act normal But not too normal

The watchman
BOX cars run by a mile long. And I wonder what they say to each other When they stop a mile long on a sidetrack. Maybe their chatter goes: I came from Fargo with a load of wheat up to the danger line. I came from Omaha with a load of shorthorns and they splintered my boards. I came from Detroit heavy with a load of flivvers. I carried apples from the Hood river last year and this year bunches of bananas from Florida; they look for me with watermelons from Mississippi next year. Hammers and shovels of work gangs sleep in shop corners when the dark stars come on the sky and the night watchmen walk and look. Then the hammer heads talk to the handles, then the scoops of the shovels talk, how the day's work nicked and trimmed them, how they swung and lifted all day, how the hands of the work gangs smelled of hope. In the night of the dark stars when the curve of the sky is a work gang handle, in the night on the mile long sidetracks, in the night where the hammers and shovels sleep in corners, the night watchmen stuff their pipes with dreams- and sometimes they doze and don't care for nothin', and sometimes they search their heads for meanings, stories, stars. The stuff of it runs like this: A long way we come; a long way to go; long rests and long deep sniffs for our lungs on the way. Sleep is a belonging of all; even if all songs are old songs and the singing heart is snuffed out like a switchman's lantern with the oil gone, even if we forget our names and houses in the finish, the secret of sleep is left us, sleep belongs to all, sleep is the first and last and best of all. People singing; people with song mouths connecting with song hearts; people who must sing or die; people whose song hearts break if there is no song mouth; these are my people.

The Watchmen, lonely, watching time, upon freezing beds, the cold, the wet, the dead, along the River Rhine. Flares,illuminate the sky, young soldiers, writing letters home, some they start to cry. Wishing they knew why, along the River rhine. Those treasured tear stained letters. A young souls last goodbye, a flare shines in the sky. Wishing they knew why, Upon the River Rhine.

OUR POVERTY HAS COLOUR Alexander K Opicho (Eldoret, Kenya; [email protected]) Most illusive and elusive Like the devils of Congo forest Is the impish poverty Permeating all seals with vicious wily Into the midst of callous humanity Biting country men and country women With carnivorous dentalities so ruthless Putting man to a forlorn shame As the wife looks in desperate flaggerbastation Putting matriarchal womenfolk to humiliation As the expectant sire wallow in the askance of looks Condemning communities to status ad absurdum initio Thinning man from man, culling woman from woman Eating flesh by flesh social koprpers of man Eating the native flesh in the farms of Brazil Tearing the ***** steak into ghetto lacerations of Chicago Whizzling sombre morning tunes to the Zulus in the black tundra Cementing pale casted clusters for the Patels of India Commanding suave drills to poor (wo) menfolk; left! Left! Left! –abouuuuturn! With its accomplice Mr. Hunger son of starvation, they both command drills For black factory workers, Maids and gravediggers to dance Watchmen, thieves and prostitutes to match In the hinterland of Africa all the riff-raff in deep despair Dance in a tandem to the irritating drills of the duo; You come on! Left! Right! Left! Right!—fowaaard match! Backward match! Left! Right! Left! Right! Sharpp uuuuuuuturn! The duo communiqué; Go home and wait for your pay announcement. Surely; what colour is our poverty?

our poverty has colour
I ask that you be heard, tossed about and dreamed of. It is your thoughts, my upset energies, and nightly turbulence. Sleep provokes night and life and darkness prevailing in us. When we wake up we are gone as our night precedes dawn It is always the other way, bottom up and spaces spread. At times we hear the police van’s shrieks, in night’s iron grill. I ask that you be heard, tossed about and dreamed of. It is not always the stick beating the road in rhythmic silence And olive-green overcoat with flapped pockets and heavy boots And six months old large-sized memories of a Himalayan home With black-lined large dove’s eyes flitting among coal fires Their smoke towering over the pines in snow-bound peaks. I ask that you be heard, tossed about and dreamed of. It is the turbulence we are speaking of, in the foggy sea we are Or on the peaks where everything is bound in fuzzy snow At the mountain passes where vehicles duly pass oiled by hot tea Or in the mist-filled airports where aircrafts do not take off Of politicians who decide mankind’s future in the apocalypse. I ask that you be heard, tossed about and dreamed of. It is my dreams as they were and the neighbor’s dreams In the straw-roof, in the banyan trees with glints in their eyes And much fine-powdered dust on their thick –coated leaves, In lonely watchmen’s houses on the bleak stony spaces And lonely watchmen keeping vigilant eyes on boulders Strewn in brown spaces and scraggy bushes with strange lizards. I ask that you be heard, tossed about and dreamed of. It is the towering tombs and the trees that enveloped them The children playing cricket in flying bats and stone stumps Outside the vaults where kings and queens lay dead for ages Their cold breath felt on the broken glass of Time’s windows. I ask that you, I and women play a game of kabaddi in the trees When it is still not dark enough in the minarets in the west And children are still hitting ***** visible in the green of the trees.

Sound the deep waters:-- Who shall sound that deep?-- Too short the plummet, And the watchmen sleep. Some dream of effort Up a toilsome steep; Some dream of pasture grounds For harmless sheep. White shapes flit to and fro From mast to mast; They feel the distant tempest That nears them fast: Great rocks are straight ahead, Great shoals not past; They shout to one another Upon the blast. O, soft the streams drop music Between the hills, And musical the birds' nests Beside those rills: The nests are types of home Love-hidden from ills, The nests are types of spirits Love-music fills. So dream the sleepers, Each man in his place; The lightning shows the smile Upon each face: The ship is driving, driving, It drives apace: And sleepers smile, and spirits Bewail their case. The lightning glares and reddens Across the skies; It seems but sunset To those sleeping eyes. When did the sun go down On such a wise? From such a sunset When shall day arise? "Wake," call the spirits: But to heedless ears; They have forgotten sorrows And hopes and fears; They have forgotten perils And smiles and tears; Their dream has held them long, Long years and years. "Wake," call the spirits again: But it would take A louder summons To bid them awake. Some dream of pleasure For another's sake; Some dream, forgetful Of a lifelong ache. One by one slowly, Ah, how sad and slow! Wailing and praying The spirits rise and go: Clear stainless spirits, White,--as white as snow; Pale spirits, wailing For an overthrow. One by one flitting, Like a mournful bird Whose song is tired at last For no mate heard. The loving voice is silent, The useless word; One by one flitting, Sick with hope deferred. Driving and driving, The ship drives amain: While swift from mast to mast Shapes flit again, Flit silent as the silence Where men lie slain; Their shadow cast upon the sails Is like a stain. No voice to call the sleepers, No hand to raise: They sleep to death in dreaming Of length of days. Vanity of vanities, The Preacher says: Vanity is the end Of all their ways.

little islands
The misty morning moaned through great spiritual fogs, while the dogs lay exhausted on the tombstone curbs. A black car crept and the driver had no hands. In the purple screaming clouds were the faces of a thousand dead birds, hawking about, calling inscrutable names, grasping at imaginary worms from the trees of the burning wood. Where have I gone? The grey meandering man licked his lips as sullen death encapsulated the brittle bones and every step was bringing him closer to the ashen ground from whence the monsters came. A phosphorescent haze would whirl and dance in sweet contortions, a dance for the dead, as the night fought day with ecstatic swords. The sun is crying. The son is crying. Halt for the watchmen, bats in hand and gloves hanging from belt loops. Halt while the lands are molested and the peasant sneers at waves that hum and bring about simultaneous life and death. Open the door! Open it wide. Life is the eternally beating drum The drum from which we hide.

Part II: The Dying Man Had Final Words, The Screeching Sirens Were Too Loud
Tonight Guy Fawkes might get it right, it's bonfire night. Westminster, the stage is set, place your bets before the bang or hang old ***** high. At Mansion House before fine fare, sit politicians gorging there and getting fat from this,my land and I stand here with hand held out, a teapot of a man with drooping spout and wilting will, still, Fawkes the hawk may walk the walk and then we'll see the ******** talk, when Parliament goes up in smoke, Oh Guido,Guido take a match don't let the watchmen catch you creeping,with lit taper,or you'll be 'sleeping with the fish' It's bonfire night tonight I do wish Guy Fawkes gets it right and one more time, 't would be no crime to light the fuse and run.

On my bed night after night I sought him who my soul loves, I sought him but did not find him... I sought this morning a handful of domestic tools. I raked, I shoveled, I let fly a gust from my mighty two-stroke gas blower, which shuddered to death in my hands, before all of the leaves reached the end of the ******* driveway. I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem that you do not awake my love until the motor has had a chance to cool off, or you might flood the engine. David was anointed with the oil of myrrh and cassia. My wrists are caked in Havoline from 1998. Solomon ate banquets, loved Sheba, three hundred concubines and boats of perfumed wood. Ramen at lunchtime. Sixty yards of two-by-fours. If I never resemble a king, let me sup of television dinners let me work my hands in the valleys of a clogged fuel line, let my bed fill with the twin odalisques of leisure reading and ***** sheets, and give me never three hundred concubines. And if I go about the city at night, pleading with the watchmen, have they seen she who my soul loves, let them answer: "There." The driveway is clean, now, all the leaves left at the end to rot, or be swept away.

who watches the watchmen or something to that effect its an important thought they keep an eye on us but who watches them are they their own check a very ab-usable system if they can't watch themselves we get more watchers to watch the watchmen but that same problem pops up their overseers get corrupt so we must watch them but you know you can't trust us.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes
There's a tale that's spoken When dawn has broken By gateman and watchmen and guards And it's echoed by thieves As the night time leaves As they shuffle their crooked cards Of a demon disguised And a doctor despised So be weary of coaches at night There's a roaming physician Of the devils tuition A curse and a bringer of plight Oh, Doctor Sinestre The butcher of Leicester A man with a hunger for pain With top hat and tails And talon-like nails There are many he's happily slain He travels by night And is fast out of sight And away by the first light of day He takes eyes and ears As grim souvenirs And your body is left on display It's said he was born With a singular horn Which he uses to gouge his prey And my grandmother swears He was brought up by bears Which he killed in a grizzly display He's a magical voice A remover of choice To beguile the strongest of wills He can tear you apart And pull out your heart So quickly the blood never spills Oh, Doctor Sinestre The gory molester An animal dressed as a man If you hear him approach In his ebony coach Then away just as fast as you can He feeds on the weak On souls of the bleak And seekers of fortune and strife He removes your afflictions Diseases, addictions As swiftly he cures you of life He has eyes in his ears So he sees what he hears His teeth once belonged to a snake The soles of his feet Don't meet with the street Not a print or a sound does he make There are maps of strange lands On the palms of his hands And thick purple hair on the back There's a bat in his hat All sluggish and fat For if ever he fancies a snack Oh, Doctor Sinestre The mayor of Chester And prince of the circles of hell He giggles and gloats As he fiddles with goats He dabbles in chickens as well A spaceship he flies Through Lancashire skies He can turn you to gold with a kiss He's a ghost driven mad By his alien dad And.... Are you TOTALLY sure about this?

centelleo, centelleo, mi amour', I shalt travel by foot, right to thy door! Up above the moon so high, I shalt exhilarate thee in thine mind. When the colorful universe hath passed, And All the glacier's melt so fast, Then thou wilt illuminate, centelleo, centelleo, on ourn impresionante date. Than the watchmen in the dusk Giveth thee thanks, of aloe and musk: He couldst not seeith which way to flyeth, But thine own light to all inviteth..... In those dark brown eyes thou keepeth, And always in mine soul thou peepeth, For please don't ever close thine eye's Until mine lips art met with thine own so fine.... As thy centelleo glints mine room, And as thy centelleo is flared by thee mine muse, I shalt continue to be thy poet Writing a million poem's a day for thee so everyone shalt know it. ©Brandon nagley ©Lonesome poet's poetry

centelleo, centelleo, mi amour ( twinkle, twinkle, mi amour) spanish tongue-----remake of twinkle twinkle little star ( lullaby) dedicated to mi amour
filleted dreams, drip drip dripping into endless streams, a falcon, a fisherman, a lonely seaboat with a blue stripe on white, never ceasing, never dying, constant revelation, constant redemption, dark nights, the tap tap tapping of raindrops on ceilings, one leg cold and one leg warm, always reaching, never grasping, a wine-drunken beam, a pill of golden light, a breath, a whimper of sleep, a drumming, a drumming, a drumming of ever-closer watchmen on the rooftops of tenement houses, weeping and watching and oh so silently sewing closed their mouths with threads. something in the darkness, something in the watchmen, something in the drips of the tap and of the rain and of the filleted dreams of endless streams, cry technicolor, cry chromatic, weep visions of paradise like water from Eden, no, yes, my cautious child, darling mother, sleeping father, drunk drunk drunk on stolen nectar,   rot, rot, rot into the sour deep, buried under rubble, smothered, squeezed, dissected, infinite life, finite spirit, cry, cry, cry, cry stolen and pale into the screams of your indigo dreams.

He comes out of his house, off into his ****** limousine, The pride and glory of American handicraft, Drives away past his main gate, guarded by a Luhyia national, The nation from which watchmen are mass manufactured, The gate is banged closed with a sharp emblem dominating; tafadahli umbwa kali, please fierce dogs are in don’t dare enter, when no piece of a dog is in, hen pecking husbands perhaps, He drives away in low spirit, like the tail of a snake, Sharply contrasting his tiger thoraxed debates in the parliament, In defence of state corruption; Anglo leasing and her sisters, The wife has chased out our state officer, his sole Succor, of the night and chilly loneliness so nameless ,in the streets of Nairobi, Is the epiphanous street of koinange, after Mbiu Koinange The colonial orchestrator of intellectual globalectics, He sired political immorality that sired social depravement, To rove his avenues as the state and money capitalist Convert beautiful daughters of the poor peasants Into defenseless protégés of class misfortune Roaming the back streets minus Any lingerie in their bosoms.

the lost mahout
at the sight of you moons are dull grey spotlights flat, dimensionless, and known. which could make us akin if i let the end begin. but i drag it out and twist it tight all strapped in place i dig a tunnel in my soft spot. stretch the truth until it breaks its back. bones of sugar clumped together like lonely hydrogen in a coronal marsh. i thought i could tame it. i see silver and black wind builders and watchmen. your world famous carousel hugs turn to languorous shrugs but they both make me dizzy. a gaze eclipsed for the moment you're less a mind, more a slogan. when his eye meets yours it leaves behind sunspots.

thinking of mush on the dark side of the sun
To be rebuilt, to be restored, to re-establish broken walls Of former gates now rising up, to them that will rejoice On assignment from the palace Nehemiah of noble rank With zest and zealous zeal A great work to begin, relinquish finding fault Continue the consigned course, even if by force A purposeful quest, yet enemies seek to oppress Chosen people of Jerusalem Their aim to hinder To turn our plans to cinders, of ruin again Aside from jeers and jokes, we evoke the passion inside From such a purpose as this For Nehemiah here to rebuild, not to rebel To hear of enemies plans, such work began Armed hands of spears and swords Guarding watchmen day and night, to then distract, a covert act To call him away, an unprincipled trip, good intentions not Yet passing times, forward seasons Gave no reason, for continued up-rise No scheme or lies, could dissolve desire Nor cause delay Gathered rules, with listening intent Help the people, re-join and restore customs, not law Promising years, place heathen aside, do not idolise A Saviour will return The writings of Malachi A faithful prophet, of faithful words Written by Geraldine Taylor ©

Rebuilding the Walls of Jerusalem

Only she wrote poems He wrote her off! Who was this stranger, tearing her heart out on these pages, soulful and sinful, unheeding, unashamed at being beaten and bruised by her lovers tantrum now migrated to a new nest of instant ********** She bled her words out in rhyme and rhythm Holding on to fragments of a dream fast fading at the edges.
