| An evil princess and a timeless dragon
Posted: 2/22/2005 2:43:50 PM | A movement in the Darkness…. A Shimmer passing by
A Glowing e’er increasing…. from the Dragon’s eye
He’d heard a Silent sound … from somewhere near his Cave
A place where no-one ventures…no-one but the Brave
For all have heard of Dragons .. and know the tales so well
The Elders talk of Dragons… The creatures born of Hell
Who was this that dared to come, to face the Dragons Eye
Who was it, Who dared disturb, the Dragon in his lie.
For it had been 1000 years….. Or maybe it was more
Since the Knights of Chivalry, had come up to his door
Senses Racing,. Bloodlust Coursing, started to uncurl
From his bed ….. Like living Rock… He turned back to the World
Balefully the Eye looked down…. Blazing with its Rage
Withering the Interloper… coming to HIS Cave
Iridescent glowed, the scales that were his skin
Past the Flicking Tongue, the Mighty Fangs within
A Sweeping movement of a Tail, A trembling of Wings
Suddenly,…. he was all there…. Just as in your dreams
Proud and Cold and Arrogant, He stood and looked around
Ignoring the young lady …… just sitting on the ground
Where there was a Princess… there Always was a Knight
All these so called Heroes…. To save them from their plight
But no Knights were visible…. No-one else was there
She was sitting quietly….. Not showing any Fear
Looking at the Dragon… Seeing many Scars
Suddenly she Stood….. Holding out her arms
The yellow Eyes looked back to her… Rage began to Wane
He looked into the other eyes….. Writhing in their Pain
“The people call me Evil….. Nasty through and through
I’m sick and tired of hearing that…. Came to visit You”
“Come and sit beside me…. Let us talk today
There are Many Many things… that I need to say”
Long I’ve cried my Bitter Tears… Anger Fills my veins
Now I’m here with Dragonkind, … to play my Last refrain”
A voice appeared inside her head… A voice from history
“EVIL,……… Evil, …….. NEVER Evil can You be
You have come to Dragonkind…. Entered in MY cave
Evil CANNOT do that…..it’s only for the Brave”
So they sat together…. Talked for many days
A Dragon Old .. A Princess… Product of this age
The Legends say that if you look… towards the dying Sun
You will see her…. On his back….. Flying high…. As one | |

Posted: 2/25/2005 3:48:57 AM | It has been 10,000 years since man first went to War
And one thing never changes.... If you know the score
There have been many Heroes.....Cowards maybe more
Lots and Lots of normal men..... In Each and Every war
The weapons have improved .... So the killing rates increase
Still widows cry in solitude...... For their Love deceased
Homeless children left behind .... Begging in the streets
Death will Wander everywhere.... Even when the War has ceased
There will be the Victors... And the Losers in each side
Usually the strongest group, go back to see their brides
But the one real thing that sickens me, ... And I'll let you decide
Is the Leader of BOTH armies Know,, THEIR GOD is on Their Side
Religion has a Lot to answer for
And I dont just mean Christian and Muslims
No doubt the Mayans Incas Romans Greeks Spartans ETC ETC ALL Believed the same
Both sides believed THEIR God was on Their Side
TOO SAD | |

Posted: 2/25/2005 7:37:02 AM | Hello Longte.....I don't get online as much to write but i did catch up on reading. Well done.
You have awesome talent. By the way not all knights are out seeking to kill dragons. But one thing true in all the allegory (Dragon v. knight) is how society places labels on cultures or sub-cultures and judge acccordingly. Continue to write your spectacular introspections. | |

| Hi Black Knight & Thankyou
Posted: 2/25/2005 3:23:45 PM | I think you can see.... more or less
Knights and Dragons... I'm in Jest
Maybe other things as well
Who can Know? Who can tell?
But really, if you look Deep inside
Some things are special, In my mind
So I will NEVER step aside
From saying what I think is right

| First Day
Posted: 2/26/2005 9:01:23 PM | First Day
Sail past starts at 7….. biggest Anywhere
230 Gameboats ….. cruising past the Pier
Some of them Majestic…. 60ft and more
Floating fishing Palaces …. Fishers by the score
Riding sweetly down the back, nearly out of sight
Little 18 footer heads into Dawns grey light
We have only two on board,… other mate was crook
But we’ve got to have a go…. Make the others look
As the clock hits seven, we hear the starters gun
Dirty clouds of diesel, as we head towards the Sun
The other boats are heading out…. Way Way out to Sea
But that trips not for us,… We’ve got our recipe
Slip behind the Island…. Bait rigs going fast
Bait Tank full of Slimeys… Lets give it a blast
Trolling past the Pinnacle…. Mahi Mahi here
Flashing Streaks of Rainbow, cartwheel through the air
Tag em and Release em… Round to get four more
Games Afoot… Fish are on… Now we know the score
Both of us are smiling …. Grins from ear to ear
Fish are on… We’re alone…. No other boats are near
Sounders going Crazy…. Ball of bait down deep
Could be its showing Marlin.. They’re the ones we seek
Breaking out the Heavy gear… Sending down live baits
Silence…. Ever Silence…. All we do is wait
Nothing happens for a while… “Lets set more baits up high”
So we set two out on 30’s … Leave them running wide
A Purr from the Tiagra….. Inter gives a Roar
YEEHAA Double hookup…. With only two on board
Davo’s on the 80… Working it real hard
I’m sitting on the 30… Losing line by yards
I glance towards the other rod… Line is looking slack
Another Marlins grabbed it and the mongrels coming back
Got to take the slack up,.. Before we get a tangle here
Luckily he turns away…. Dancing through the air
Davo’s doing overtime…. We know the fish cant last
Gotta get it in Real quick… Get it tagged Real fast
My fish is fighting Down and Deep, heading Way out wide
But Davo’s fish is tiring, coming near the side
Rod into the Holder….. grab the Tagging Pole
“YEEHAA Got the Tag in… Slip the Hook.. Lets Go”
Ok… now we can relax…. Now we have the time
Two fish running Free and Clear… Boy they took some line
Forty minutes later first colour comes for me
A rising in the water…. Then we see the beak
We call these fish Black Marlin,, But Black it Never is
Purple… Blue …. Pearl…. and other fancy bits
Dancing on its tail just behind the boat
One final try for freedom before its luck runs out
Quietly I lead it..... up towards the Stern
Grab the beak and HANG ON while the Tag Pole does its work
Standing there just panting…. I watch it swim away
Hoping that we meet again… another sunny day
Davo’s working like a trooper… Soon we’ve got his tagged
Still early on the First day…. Three Marlin in the bag
Now I better take some time To tell you how it Feels
When you have a Mighty Marlin connected to your reel
First there’s the Adrenalin Rush, as the line is peeling out
You judge it right and Hook him up…. Makes you want to Shout
Reel is Screaming Overtime….. Line is like a blur
Whacking on the Harness… All is quite absurd
Now you’ve got a lock up… Line is rising High
Suddenly a Mighty Fish is Etched upon the sky
Your legs against the gunwale… Your back to take the strain
Pump and Wind .. Pump and Wind…. Pump and Wind Again
You know that you are winning… Gaining so much line
In an instant he is Diving Deep…. Back to Pump and Wind
Sometimes this can last for Hours…. But you cannot feel the Pain
And as you blisters burst once more … Pump and Wind again
Now the Mighty Marlin is lying by the boat
Look into that big black eye.. You just want to gloat
You Tag him and Release him, and as he swims away
You have a smile Three miles wide, right across your face
We went back to the bait school… Hooked another four
Two of these came to the boat.. Five Marlin was our score
The little 18 footer then headed in to shore
And a silly little Wahoo grabbed one of our Lures
We thought about Tagging it… Then Davo looked at me
Ice Cold Beer with Wahoo Steaks sure sounds great for tea
Yesterday was the first day of the Marlin Competition here
We did ok Showed up some of the Big boys
Couple of explanations for those who don’t fish
Mahi Mahi VERY beautiful small game fish
Wahoo Very Tasty small game fish
Marlin Fish with pointy bits Here we mainly get Blue Blacks and Stripies
Beakies and Billfish are nicknames for Marlin
Beak Bill Nickname for the pointy bit
Ball of Bait Marlin commonly herd baitfish together to let them feed easier
Sounder Depth Sounder Fish Finder Electronic Gizmo to help you find fish
20 30 80 Line in pounds breaking strain that we use on our reels
Tiagra Inter Short for Shimano Tiagra and Penn International Two reels we use
Slimeys Slimey Mackeral Small fish used to catch big fish | |

| The GATE
Posted: 3/2/2005 7:08:23 AM | Through Gently swirling fog, the stonework came in view
The First sign of inhabitance….. First thing that you knew.
Oozing through the Cloud of Mist, the Stonework Fades Away
You follow down the Wall of Stone, For now’s the end of Day
You have heard the noises. Behind you in the Woods
You don’t know what they are….. You know they’re nothing good
The Air is getting Cooler, as you follow down the fence
Visibility is lessening….. The Fog is getting Dense
Suddenly you realise,…. there is Something up ahead
Looming through the Fog… there is a semblance of a Head
Gazing through the Ether…. It seems to Float on air
As you look you see…. Another ….Over There
Neither one looks at You….. They Stare off to the side
Staring Through the distance…. Like a Love Forsaken Bride
Between them is an Opening…. A gate within the Wall
They’ve been there Forever…..They have Seen it ALL
They have Heard a mothers Cries… Seen a fathers Rage
They have Seen Too Much… To list here on this Page
You Must walk between them…. To open up the Gate
A simple thing you’ve often done… Why now do you wait??
What is it that Holds you…..Like a Deer in car headlights?
For still there are the Noises…. Behind you in the night
These are merely Carved in Stone…. On gatepost mounted high
Why is it…. That when you move….. You can Feel their eyes?
The Rusty wrought iron gate…. is open…. just an Inch
You must push it open wide….. Before you can go in
Behind you there were noises… Those noises caused you Fear
Now you can hear Nothing……. Silence has appeared
Silence in the Woods…………..Where true silence Never is
Silence…. Only Silence…. Deathly Silence in the Mist
No longer Sounds of Hunting Linger through the night
Silence…. Simply Silence….. All is Deadly Quiet
Over Every Motion……….. Stone Eyes are Gazing Down
Looking…. But not Seeing…. Forever cast in Stone
Your Heart Knows that there’s Safety… Just beyond the Gate
So will you venture forward????? … Or is it all TOO LATE
Sweet dreams Everyone | |

Posted: 3/2/2005 4:34:01 PM | The Gate
Very Early in the morning, You had gone out for a Run
Running through the Woods…. Before the rising Sun
Morning Mist was forming… there was Freedom in the air
Woods were full of life….. In a clearing saw a Deer
Birds are going crazy…. Welcoming the Dawn
A Final night owl Hoot ….. Lost and so Forlorn
The stonework is beside you…. you’ve nearly run your race
In a moment you will see it….. The Rusty wrought Iron Gate
Gate Keepers will be watching,… Looking down at you
Weathered by the elements…. Eyes that look straight through
Gazing into Nothing, your protectors now appear
One to left… One to right…. Know them Anywhere
Mounted there Unmoving….the dew gives life to eyes
As you’re coming closer… They can see your smile
For they’ve been there Forever… Forever and a Day
They have seen Everything… Watched the children play
You know not where they came from… They always were just There
Protectors from the Woods at night…. Showing you they Care
“Good Morning to you Brian….. It’s great to get back home
Have I had any visitors…. Or am I still alone?”
“David you are looking Great…. But then you Always do”
In your Mind you hear their answers… whispering to you
You push the Gate aside…. Set off up the track
The Heads of Stone forever… Watching o’er your back
This was FUN
Two perspectives on the same situation
Most things are seen VERY differently by different people | |

I watched you sleep early this morning
as in the east the sky was dawning
I saw the smile upon your face
for you were in a happy place
I like to watch you while you sleep
Your hair so blond—your tan so deep
The gentle rising of your breasts
the way you smile with happiness
One hand tucked under your head
The way you curl up on the bed
With one knee raised---the other flat
The tan line cross your lower back
And then you murmur in your sleep
Your eyes they open---blue so deep
You yawn---you roll onto your back
You stretch---- just like a happy cat
ENJOY this | |

Posted: 3/3/2005 7:23:41 PM | Longte...I read a lot but say little
Fear of my excitement and the resultant spittle
Keeps me quiet, but after all
Your poems keep me in reverent awe
I read aloud, loud enough to blow a fuse
And I would like to borrow your muse
Just for a moment but you are free to refuse
My muse left me for a better goat
He had a bigger house and a boat
Brilliant writes...absolutely brilliant! I'd better be quiet now, lest I be accused of being some gushing fanboy.

I enjoy putting bits in here.... Great to know they're read
It seems that theres a Puma, from Way beyond these shores
Reaching out into the World,.... Sharpening her Claws
Stretches beside a cabin... at the top of her Valley
Smiling with contentment at who she's come to be
Knowing in her heart... what she wants can be hers
She settles on her haunches... licks her lips.... and Purrs
The cave will never be the same again | |

Posted: 3/4/2005 3:23:10 AM | This has NO reflection on Anything that is happening in my life right now
But I love the message it gives
THE GIFT
It could be our time was over
before it had scarce begun
So I give to you the sunshine
with the rising of the sun
I give to you the moonlight
so you can find your way
I give to you the dawn light
the start of each new day
Just as every dawn is different
so to is every day
Since you are your script writer
Only you can change the play
Sweet Dreams Everyone | |

Miz You will find your message in the Barn for Everyone to see
I'll find something thats my style of Raunchy for you soon
Newly Great to see you in here
Love nature Especially Water so its pretty easy to write about
Havn't figured out how to write as Genteely as you
I usually go for the Baser emotions
THEY
THEY say that there are reasons... for ALL that happens in our lives
THEY say that theres a reason for Suffering and Strife
THEY seem to find a reason why a man will beat his wife
THEY say "One day you'll undersand.. Why someone used a knife"
THEY seem to have the Answers for All that's going on
Tell that to a Mother who hears her childs last song
THEY sit in Fancy offices... Immune from what WE see
But THEY have all the answers.... THEY Hold our destiny
THEY say "You must come here more often.... Here are some Better pills
One of these will wipe away your worries and your Ills"
When You're feeling better.... Can walk away from Pain
They always seem to find a way.... to knock you down again
It seems you're always "Getting there"..."See the progress We have made"
"I'm sure that things are better now..... But Times up for Today"
THEY set you Free to wander.... in a Life thats just a Blur
THEY dole out Pills like Lollypops... Its all just too absurd
Because THEY've been to University... THEY Know Everything
THEY can always find some Excuse to stop the child who sings
NOBODY can Question THEM.... Or doubt a word THEY say
PLEASE can Someone tell me........... Just who the Hell are THEY
Sorry about this one if you expecting something lighter
But ran into an old friend today
Shes a walking drooling drugstore
And its ALL LEGAL
Just because her THE RAPIST recommended it
Opps bad mistake I spelt THERAPIST wrongly {OR DID I}
I avoid even disprin where ever possible and shun Doctors
So possibly I'm a Bit Biased here | |

I must apologise for not finding some words to drop onto your RAW section
But I couldnt find anything in me to match the pictures etc you had there
From the Smile on your face I think you could have Floated home
Mere words cannot Ever compete with, or Compliment that

Posted: 3/6/2005 5:40:25 PM | You hit a brick wall
No explanation.
Think you can handle it all....
I mean ...
Rationalization.
We're adults here and can cope with the fallout
You Know
be sensible, grown up
Isn't that what this is all about?
So why is there this irrational anger?
Consuming me ?
It really was never meant to be.
I hit the brick wall
No explanation.
I DID handle it all and with it came the
Realization
I am an adult here
sensible, grown up
And thats what it is all about
Anger consumes,

| The Island
Posted: 3/7/2005 5:27:04 PM | The Island
I called to see my lover… in her Island near the Sun
Back to our beginnings… Where it had all begun
Back to visit Paradise… My lover who was there
Back to where it all began…. I’ll tell our story here
I wandered Lost and lonely….. For I had lost my Bride
The one I thought Forever … would be there at my side
But she was Gone…. Life goes on…. Or so the experts say
So I wandered… Desolate…. Wandered Far away
I sailed right through a Cyclone… Just to see what it would do
But the Dragon God looked after me and saw me safely through
I played the game quite desperately… Seeking Death it seemed
But somehow it avoided me…. Except for in my Dreams
Eventually I found… A type of peace inside
But life was Hollow.. Empty… without a loving bride
So I headed for an Island…. A small dot on my map
I wanted Quiet …. Solitude… Other stuff like that
It was early in the evening, when I heard the muffled roar
Massive waves Churning as they crashed into the shore
As the moonlight brightened… right before my eyes
I could see the Island…. I now call Paradise
Just One single light,… was showing anywhere
A single Lovestruck beacon… glowing in the air
I anchored for the evening… For I did not know the way
Through the reef… to the Lagoon would have to wait til day
In the morning I could see.. A village by the beach
And clearly at High tide, I can see the place I seek
Everything is Lashed as I slip into the Gap
About a metre on each side…. Maybe less than that
Nothing Stirred… Nothing moved… In the village by the shore
What had happened here??? … Was I alone once more???
But it seemed the villagers had planned their own surprise
Suddenly… By magic… They were right there at my side
The laughter of the children… Clean and Crystal clear
Smiling faces all around… Glad that I was there
I couldn’t help but Laugh myself…. My first in quite a while
So they escorted me to shore…. Escorted me in style
Not many ever came… out to their island home
So I was quite a Novelty… Even though I was Alone
They taught me how to smile again…Enjoy the simple things
Live life to its Fullest… No matter what it brings
Then I met a woman….. A sad one….. Just like me
Seems not long her Husband… had been lost into the Sea
We couldn’t really talk too much …. Language was not the same
But we knew by looking…. We had felt a similar pain
We stayed together several months… She sailed away with me
We wandered through the Oceans… A life so Fancy free
But Modern life was not for her… and so it came to be
We went back to her island….. Deep in the Coral Sea
Sometimes I get a phonecall…. Late into the night
“How are you my darling? …. Is everything all right?
Why don’t you come and see me?… It would be good for me”
So I go back to her Island….. Deep in the Coral Sea
Enjoy and think of your own Special Places | |
