| Truth's Bar 'n Grill........ Posted: 8/10/2007 11:29:06 PM | You are a poet. With a poets heart. I knew you wouldn't lie...Truth.
Edit...Eric, you snuck in before me... you must have looked at the profile. That's Lucy...she's amazing! | |
|
| Truth's Bar 'n Grill........ Posted: 8/10/2007 11:47:07 PM | I tried to be polite, And read all your stories, so sunny. But not half-way through the first page I had to stop . . . I got so f@cking hungry! | |

| Truth's Bar 'n Grill........ Posted: 8/10/2007 11:47:19 PM | - WINGS OF THE RAPTORS -
Few things are so gripping as a Hawk on wings The flight and the hunt named the sport of Kings Some stooping swiftly from ever so high Others low to the ground race as they fly
Here's to the predator truely swift Raptors unparalleled given the gift Agile and deadly and proud and strong Rulers of wind where the swift belong
- Erik - Lucy is stunning!  | |

| Truth's Bar 'n Grill........ Posted: 8/10/2007 11:52:56 PM | Erik well yes, I owe you a smile, and from the depths, yup, you know I ain't guile(d) Autumn, nope, I am not a poet. I cannot even know it, before I wrote it..... Maybe if I could, I would speak of this night... Sophia, Autumn, wow, I am blessed of this sight.... Some might call me stupid, mushy, I can't care.... Hell we know fields, grey light we prepare.... I have an old bottle saved, 48, love you both... Thank you I whisper..... Tomorrow I toast.

| Truth's Bar 'n Grill........ Posted: 8/10/2007 11:55:20 PM | | Hey skjoldhus (a.k.a. Erik the Viking), have you ever read Rhinegold? If not I highly recommend it to someone or anyone with a "pilaging" streak such as yourself. | |
|
| Truth's Bar 'n Grill........ Posted: 8/11/2007 12:04:59 AM | AF...you were on another page...didn't see you. Hi! _____________________________________ Erik...great Hawk poem. You should become a falconer/hawker yourself! Too late to write a fresh one but...here is an old one from my thread (previously Yoko Ohyes)
I am hawk Perched on leather glove No leashes hold me I am imprinted By the voice of Love It is enough ___________________ Truth...write on! | |
|
| Truth's Bar 'n Grill........ Posted: 8/11/2007 12:39:10 AM | Ahhh Thanks Truth! Glad to hear it! A smile is always my highest goal.
Sophia of course as you know, a true Hawker/Falconer needs to be very vigilant as to keeping the birds at good weight and spending time with them,... right now I have a plethora of animals as is, so I would be hard pressed for any more, much though I love the idea.
Unchained, ahhhh but of course. Erik is fully familiar with the Ring Saga and the Tale of the Niflung and Gjukung. Wagner so enchanted folks everywhere with his classic works about Sigurd and Fafnir and the whole Ring Saga. It is even the basis for most of Professor J.R.R. Tolkiens work. Another good reading that you would likely enjoy if you have not yet already read thse is "The Poetic Eddas" which are the Sagas of the Norse Gods and Goddess's. You would like them I think.
" That the children of Gjuki should wend forth, but never more, for the sons of Atli were their undoing as the red-gold sought they. But the Niflung had stayed the might of the Rhine and diverted thus it's flow. That none shall have kenning of the hoard of the Gods. Thrice borne upon them the ill wierding ways, that only the Norns shall know,... and once as the Volsung moon on them gan to gleam, so too did the eyes of the wood. That all who have perished shall naught of dread fade for the children of Skjold shall avenge thee. A dark age, a wolf age, a storm age, a sword age, a time til the fade of Kings. Thus plighted in troth the Hurler's* good kinsmen who liken to Aesir by blood."
- Erik - <0> NOTE: * Hurler was an older referance to the God Thor for his casting / hurling of the Hammer Mjolnir at the enemies of Asgard. | |

| Truth's Bar 'n Grill........ Posted: 8/11/2007 1:26:36 AM | HOLY SHYZA! I just looked at your profile, and the last time I heard that many testimonials was in a church. Praise Skjoldhus! You are a god on this site man.
Actually the version I read is by Stephen Grundy. He also rendered Gilgamesh into a creative work. I'll have to check out the ones you mentioned though. | |
|
| Truth's Bar 'n Grill........ Posted: 8/11/2007 8:16:37 AM | Love the epic of Gilgamesh! Perhaps one of the oldest of all written narratives. I have a copy of that one too. Great reading. There is something to be said for the classics.
Hahaha Oh the testimonials? That's funny. If so ( regarding the God on the site comment ) then I am one of a Pantheon, for there are a lot of folks with a bunch of testimonials. Check out your tread host truth! The man is a walking legend! hehehe,...
"I will proclaim to the world the deeds of Gilgamesh. This was the man to whom all things were known; this was the king who knew the countries of the world. He was wise, he saw mysteries and knew secret things, he brought us a tale of days before the flood. He went on a long journey, was weary, worn-out with labour, returning he rested, he engraved on a stone the whole story."

| Truth's Bar 'n Grill........ Posted: 8/15/2007 5:58:56 PM | The epic of Gilgamesh.....I loved it the first time I read it...and the second, third.............
Very right Erik, it is the oldest documented poem....(put myself out there now haven't I?)
Anyways.......................................................................................................................................
Dance with me green grass bare feet moon-lite night.. Quite a sight the way your eyes reflect the star light.. Hold me tight, sway softly, not a word need be spoken.. Let this night just be, a silence unbroken..
Let the stars fall around us, let this darkness speak.. Let us as unknowing, one goal tonight, seek... Tunes from the distance places, held in our eyes.. My hand stands extended, this night, will you fly?................
 | |
|
| Truth's Bar 'n Grill........ Posted: 8/15/2007 6:23:17 PM | As my arms feel the rhythms of softest borne breeze And the lightness extends from my arms to my knees And my feet lose their grip on gravity's blight I gaze to your eyes and fly with you this night | |
|
| Truth's Bar 'n Grill........ Posted: 8/15/2007 6:34:13 PM | Join with the winds heights breached moon caressed... Let the Silver light bathe us as we make our assent... Heaven can wait, linear time stands bent... Sands fall from fingertips... Almost as meant...
Time sways, whispers, a voice chooses to matter... Open meadow land, fire-flies scatter.. Laughter, hands joined, a slow dance ensues... I gaze to your eyes, this night, and fly with you....... | |
|
| Truth's Bar 'n Grill........ Posted: 8/15/2007 6:48:35 PM | linear time is so 'prickly'
And so I bend to take back time And meadow stand with fireflies That flicker through the grasses sweet And tangled reeds....the night we meet
And you beside me....gentle feeling Nature tuned..with earth we're dealing Tuned to rhythms, tuned to senses Lighted eyes and no defenses
Softly back through time I tred To take your hand, so much unsaid Fly with me, rhythm ancient drum And crooning of grandfathers.......come
EDIT: youch.....you hit something there Truth Not sure I like the 'invocation' part at the end tho Not keen on 'calling' people You never know if its real or not And it can get very.......confusing
But a timely reminder And something I havent done I need to do Stop smoking | |
|
| Truth's Bar 'n Grill........ Posted: 8/15/2007 7:03:37 PM | So stand I with crisp air in lungs And breathe the stars in heavens hung And take to me all things belong Deny those things I know be wrong
Things taken from times long since past When 'being accepted' was my repast Before I knew my wings were real But knew not most just trod by heel
How could I wish to be the same? When in their lives they dwell on pain And bound to earth they make the best Of what they have....deny the rest
I chose to fly...... said my farewells And rode the currents....calms and swells Accepted loss and found I gained Removed the blindfold....freedom reigned
D*MN! Why the h*ll do I hang onto things?
Sorry hun. Gonna have to deal with this one before I go star tripping again. So much sh*te goin on right now But on the fringes
PS: Coming to Canada in June You up for a visit? | |
|
| Truth's Bar 'n Grill........ Posted: 8/15/2007 7:16:26 PM | When you fly Dear Salty, you Really fly..... A visit?...Hell yes.

| Truth's Bar 'n Grill........ Posted: 8/15/2007 9:25:44 PM | My thirst cannot be quenched shit I really need to fly... Dark shades hide A laughter as see them walk by... More to the illusion just waiting to die...
Real me?, fvck, can't handle the Truth... Shit starts to fly, when I really let it loose... Never been one, to be tied by a noose...
It's all good, I remember why I too am, leavin... What the Fvck is there really left, to believe in? Abstract?, yeah, fvck that 'n no Passion...
Tired, yellow brick roads... Ode to what's real, abstract, what a load... Never once even touch this...
blah.
Later.

Shit now it's time to kick back have some fun.. Truth swaggers in to light up the pond.. Patio's open and the night's just begun.. Open pits fired now let's get it on..
Arms tinted bronze got the dark shades and a smile.. Come sit on my knee babe, tonight we get wild.. Got no inhibitions, yeah I got my own style.. The kind that will no shit, get the women all rilled..
Juke box is blazing out "I love Rock 'n Roll".. Party's just started shooter's takin' their toll.. Clothes fading fast getting out of control.. But it's all good the night's young now let's go with the flow..
Let the rush of adrenaline seep through your veins.. Grind Dirty Dancing, a night with no names.. Howl to the moonlight "we cannot be tamed".. One night spent at Truth's place and,
You'll Never be the same....
