The Ancient Banner

In boundless mercy, the Redeemer left,
The bosom of his Father, and assumed
A servant's form, though he had reigned a king,
In realms of glory, ere the worlds were made,
Or the creating words, 'Let there be light'
In heaven were uttered. But though veiled in flesh,
His Deity and his Omnipotence,
Were manifest in miracles. Disease
Fled at his bidding, and the buried dead
Rose from the sepulchre, reanimate,
At his command, or, on the passing bier
Sat upright, when he touched it. But he came,
Not for this only, but to introduce
A glorious dispensation, in the place
Of types and shadows of the Jewish code.
Upon the mount, and round Jerusalem,
He taught a purer, and a holier law,—
His everlasting Gospel, which is yet
To fill the earth with gladness; for all climes
Shall feel its influence, and shall own its power.

The lady is not at fault.

Dear lady, how enticing you are at first sight!
The milkman comes to you daily
The vendors, the technicians, the tailors
And such sorts visit you frequently.
They are more fortunate to get stirred.
You have no desire for us,
That does not mitigate our desire for you.
How enticing you are and yet how
nonchalant!

Don't Stay To Feed This Beast

Word of advice.
Although it feels enticing,
To argue with someone...
Who has chosen ignorance to use,
As a weapon to fight against what is right.
Don't!

I repeat...DON'T!

Do not...
Show you are upset.
This will ignite,
A heat you will not be allowed to leave.
And you will get upset with regret.
Since...
People of ignorance,
Love and will get their attention!

And historically,
No one needs to prolong a search...

Astral Realm Lower Vibrational Emotional Debris

Death visited me mystically suddenly
late the other mystifying electrifying night
beckoned beseechingly bewitchingly spectral
starry portal of fusion mass dissimilar life
evaporating all earthbound cares trivial wares
typifying lost world of density bound strife.

Death visited me suddenly impishly
late the other interdimensional night
enticing with beckoning spectral finger
cutting through senses like an icy knife
comet flight mystic struck spine kidneys
enticing chill resolve revigorate stilled fight.

Ice needle injected numb self-will resurrect
with renewed invigorated resolve vision life
night reaper not yet ready to steal claim reap
this newborn chill of prophetic service sight
astral planes energy blaze screened love learns
soul’s scarlet seeping dimensional peeping light.

Pure Spanish Safflower

If all my memories had taste
mine would be strong,
chocolate
semi-sweet.

If your lips had flavor
they'd be honey dew.
.
Your skin's basil hinting
cinnamon
and a pinch of sensuous mint.

Your eyes have red pepper heat.

We've tasted each
other
our mutual cuisines

our secret
secrets;

Tonight is a mystical night

Tonight is a mystical night
We hail; bit by bit it weaves a tale
Tonight is a mystical night
We hail; bit by bit it weaves a tale

This beautiful sight takes my breath away
Stars of heaven are on earth today
There is no sense of time no guiding light
It’s just us and the crazy night

A crazy night a crazy night
There is no offence today and no-one to lead the way
On whom should this blame we lay
a crazy night a crazy night

All the hot girls put your hands up and say lets party
All cool boys come and make some noise and say lets party
The night is mythical its bliss enticing
It’s casting a spell all around which ensnares and bounds

Camouflaged Flaws In Reality (Revised)

Pratchett’s vision in ‘Men At Arms’
overwhelms – the enormous scope
of scenes he paints reduces me
to tears and silent wonder

Sam Vimes’ income spent caring for
widows and orphans of deceased
watchmen; Angua facetiously claims
he spends it all on women

Captain Carrot explains Vimes one-
man pension fund scheme, tells how
he lives frugally to provide for those
he sees worse off than him,

For this he receives fairytale rewards:
marries Ankh-Morpork’s richest woman
made a Knight by none other than the
undercover Ankh-Morpork King –

Star

Tony went to fight in belfast
Rudi stayed at home to starve
I could make it all worthwhile as a rock & roll star
Bevan tried to change the nation
Sonny wants to turn the world, well he can tell you that he tried
I could make a transformation as a rock & roll star
So inviting - so enticing to play the part
I could play the wild mutation as a rock & roll star
Get it all yeah!
Oh yeah
I could do with the money
Im so wiped out with things as they are
Id send my photograph to my honey - and Id cmon like a regular superstar
I could fall asleep at night as a rock & roll star
I could fall in love all right as a rock & roll star
I could make a transformation as a rock & roll star
So inviting - so enticing to play the part
I could play the wild mutation as a rock & roll star
Get it all yeah!
Oh yeah

The Laboratory

Now that I, tying thy glass mask tightly,
May gaze thro’ these faint smokes curling whitely,
As thou pliest thy trade in this devil’s-smithy—
Which is the poison to poison her, prithee?

He is with her, and they know that I know
Where they are, what they do: they believe my tears flow
While they laugh, laugh at me, at me fled to the drear
Empty church, to pray God in, for them!—I am here.

Grind away, moisten and mash up thy paste,
Pound at thy powder,—I am not in haste!
Better sit thus and observe thy strange things,
Than go where men wait me and dance at the King’s.

That in the mortar—you call it a gum?
Ah, the brave tree whence such gold oozings come!
And yonder soft phial, the exquisite blue,
Sure to taste sweetly,—is that poison too?
