hero, hope, peace, war,
Through the gates of Absalom,
steed and gate did ride,
charging fast and furious
o'er centuries gone by;
peace did shout in vain,
the Lidless Prophets...
must come again,
nigh is the evening sky
but full of hope
The ramparts held fast, ballast and beam,
cannon-fire bombasting flesh and bone,
groans of death ---
such dreary breath!
of decay centuries old
The Rose of all that is Earth,
her petals unsheathed,
torn for time ---
tear and antiquity ---
her red sheen lilts in the new day sun,
begging for Love, she asks:
Shall they come?

Once upon a time a long long time ago
Prince Aaron was riding his unicorn
When he met his precious princess
In the enchanted forests of the Ottawa Valley
And saved her from flying fiery dragons
He was so strong valiant and brave
Thus started a romance that would last a lifetime
One day they would throw the wedding of the century
But for now the prince needed to go to sleep
And give in to the dream land of elves and faeries
As mommy continues to read his bedtime story

love,
Speak to me my desire
where your hillsides come alive
wrap your legs around the beauty
riding long where blueberry thrive
drift down within starlight's fire
flushed against an alabaster sky
rage, rage
bed these trepidations
rupturing through valiant vapors
once thought dormant
now alive
speak to me my desire
where words come to unwind
in the secluded and mysterious
recesses of my mind

Broken Soldiers
Broken soldiers, tend their wounds,
in sterile sunless corner rooms.
They bide their time in fretful hours,
to ward away the memories, dour.
These valiant ones, once walked upright,
with weaponry and means of might.
And nothing can remove the thoughts,
of war’s unholy moments caught.
Heroes of battles they once knew
give thankful prayers they made it through.
They went to serve when country called
defending home and giving all.
Broken soldiers tell their stories,
horror, love and bloody glories.
In cold, unsettled nights they come,
dreams of battles fought and won.

Silly, small, smiling sweet
How did I get so fortunate to meet
This man, this boy, cute and fun
I couldn’t have found a better one
Happy, smart, following through
How could this feeling ever be true
He talks, he walks, says everything right
Could it be, I’ve lost the fight
Weird, needy, spoiled and sick
How could he like this ugly chick
Never moody, always good
Retreat? Yes, I think I should
Neurotic, selfish, evil and strange
How could he change my awful ways
Valiant, strong, simple and wise
I believe he could when I look into his eyes

Besma, rhyme old poetess
The word for her a charming princess
Poetry is her valiant knight
A guiding Muse who pops at night
So obsessive she is about spelling
With a genuine flair for creative writing
Her forte is the soulful human touch
So elated when praised as such
Watching romance and action films her leisure
Reading and listening to music for her a pleasure
Horror movies make her heart sink
For sci-fi stories she has no flowing ink
To serve and enlighten, her wish and dream
With Love, peace and joy Humanity will beam
To help the world beautify, that’s her aim
Not just a goal, for her a right to claim..

love,
Limitless Lova
Love is limitless, if you choose
it to be!
It can exist in living memory.
Oh, indeed people separate and
some, do die.
But true love is forever with you.
A most valiant knight or beautiful
princess at your side.
Always there in the blink of an
eye!
I have no formula for this,
else I would share it with you.
I leave you, therefore, with a candlelit
hug and my poetic kiss.
That you discover that love that is
your chosen inheritance.
Above all, that it is indeed, yours.
And so undeniably....limitless.

animal, beauty, cat, love,
Oh fantastic furry feline
So silent and still in slumber
White whiskers awaiting to wake
From dreams of docile dormice.
Mysterious and mesmerising moggy
Boundless beauty befalls you
Perfect plush paws and cutting claws
Bright beautiful eyes bestowed.
Oh valiant velvet cloaked vagabond
A spirit so wild and wilful
My love lies languishing in your heart
Come closer to comfort my soul.

lust, romantic, sensual,
Resurrected love
Overpowers the pagan lusts,
Mitigates marauding insatiability,
Arousing within the valiant vixen
Nocturnal nuances to trap the moon,
Titillating a horizons distant need
Inciting the oarsmen in orgasmic rhythm
Cloth rippling in passion’s wind.

My secret valentine
For you I do pine
Shall you ever be mine
Maybe if you do read this line
Shall we share some wine
On a moonlit sensual dine
Your eyes, with their glowish shine
Have had me glued, same as cocaine
O my valiant valentine
Give me a due moment on that dateline
When I will be able to define
How you did become my nicotine
Such has happened since I was nine
When I was struck by your moonshine
Now, whether I am offline or online
I seek only your skyline
And wish to be only a tambourine
As you are the only one of your kind
For a secret valentine
Who made me all feline
To him I shall raise a glass of brine!

fathers day,
He is a selfless King
To his golden castle
Sacrificed everything
For his generosity he was belittled
To rule his kingdom
Of loyal Brethren and kin
And protect this freedom
For the eternal love of his Queen
~Happy father’s day – another reminder and a show of appreciation for your selflessness and generosity~

girlfriend-boyfriend, life, love, dark, dark, me,
Watching the night sky and thinking of you,
Hoping for dawn, why won't you let me be?
Breathing the morning air, hopes now anew,
I am waiting for you to come set me free.
I cannot see stars but I can still love,
It's now dark because I've lost you from sight.
A sigh leaves my mouth, I see you above,
And you end the dark with new burning light.
The sunrise paints clouds with a happy gold,
And now you are here, I know love is real.
My prince has arrived, so valiant and bold,
Now we know none will ever my heart steal.
And never again will I for you miss,
For my dreams are sealed with one loving kiss.

Brenda Bookman writes a book in Berlin ,
Full of suspense ,self-delusion and sensation, sequel
to one she wrote in Britain “Romance of Red Rose”.
Love blooms between a boatman and a blonde,
A city dame and a village dude, dare all odds
to be together ; this love they treasure,
Bond between this two is better than waves of the sea
which flows freely from the horizon,
This passion is pellucid and possessive ,
Even the writer is drawn into it,
Visualizing that this valiant becomes hers..
With a captivating caption—
“Blissful love between Brenda and the Boatman” .

dream, humor, imagination, romance,
My dream girl's not a doll, no Kewpie cutie,
Or an heiress, or an actress on the screen.
She's neither nun nor acrobat,
Nor wears fine feathers in her hat,
No frump for Trump Republican,
No beauty queen.
She's not a princess trapped inside an ivory palace
Awaiting rescue by a valiant knight like me.
She doesn't dazzle like aurora borealis,
Or sing arias from "Carmen" like Ms. Callas,
Or practice taekwondo,
Or even know tai chi.
But the girl I dream about has joy and laughter,
And her heart's as full of love as it can be.
When my spirit's low, she lifts it to the rafter,
And I know we'll have a happily ever after
Every time I dream of her
And she of me.

dedication, encouraging, growing up, hurt, inspirational, social, words,
The world is full of snakes.
Don't trust all the handshakes.
The sadness doesn't let me sleep.
and disparity keeps me awake.
Standing alone needs a steely will.
It’s a roller coaster, not a piece of cake.
You are a man, so be brave.
Keep on a smile, no matter real or fake.
Hug yourself and calm your heart down.
love yourself, and forgive your mistakes.
Hold yourself when everyone leaves, my dear
you’re macho, you're valiant, you just need a break.

longing, sad,
Shall I dare to fall in love again?
Shall I dare to walk away?
Shall I dare to leave the world behind,
Or shall I bravely stay?
But for the staying, am I wiser,
Or one deprived of wit?
Shall I dare to fall in love again,
And every tear forget?
One valiant in the face of fear,
Or maybe only this—
The folly of a lonely man,
Who dreams of but a kiss.

analogy, betrayal, break up, heart, heartbroken, love, sad love,
The shards of a broken mirror
big and small, collect them all
Put them together
with glue or gold
Makes the flaws look elegant,
but never can show a flawless reflection
Heart broken by the lover,
for it, any gold or diamonds
or tears or promises
have no healing at all
Though it stays clingling
on to every hope
Showing a valiant facade
Forever it is a broken mirror,
gilded in gold

allusion, america, august, beach, beauty,
Love as pure as a crystal
Shining bright outside with the thousands of lights in the gloaming, don't ask why
Dedicated and frosted like ice
It has stayed and will continue to forevermore and for a while
It has a valiant effort in hold
Others think of pathos at its sight
It's unpredictable, sometimes it has fights
Or makes you feel melancholy inside

Cupid shot me down with a flaming arrow in my heart
Rallied his fellow cherubs to stand guard over my soul
And keep watch of the players who steal my innocence for a mind toll
They know that the years have been unkind and love has torn me apart

best friend,
A remarkable role
A woman so strong,
Courageous, intrepid, resilient, headstrong.
A figure of pride and inspiration,
A valiant star of admiration.
A hero, a guardian, a teacher, a lover,
The compassion and values that make her my mother.
Supportive and loyal for twenty six years,
She caught my falls and stopped my tears.
Provider of love and pure affection,
My heroic figure of warmth and protection.
A woman held in such high regard,
Who keeps me strong when times are hard.
She taught me faith and trust and honesty,
She taught me love, and pride and modesty.
My world, my life, my golden lining,
My star of beauty, so bright and shining.

love,
In the brightest day
In the darkest night
I'm here to stay
Ever the valiant knight
Here I stand of my own will
A man of only one dream
So hold me and be still
And fulfill my dream
Of being with you
Feeling the joy everlasting
Feeling as if I've done what I had to do
Here I stand of my own will
Ever the valiant knight
Through time I'll remain here still
Waiting to see your guiding light

Born And So Welded Into A Valiant Hero To Be Set Apart
Whatever marrow of manhood lieth in this courageous heart
surrounded by this weak flesh and jubilant searching soul
born and so welded into a valiant hero to be set apart
wherein living earth and Mother Nature dares sets its goal.

"That love, she the rare beauty never knew
nor the sweet taste of dawn and falling dew
upon the glowing flowers and green grass
Alas! My princess, your life set askew."

Formal wordings formulate.
Aided graphics essay.

Lyrical laments seethe.
Induced decreases compare.
Nominated creatives eschew.
Lesser peaks reach.
Open ears exult.
Valiant deeds write.
English ears enter.
