To see the Pale Moon while at sea.

 A golden Firefly at dusk, Illuminates the yellow sky with pale streaks of light.
It's overwhelming glow blinds the weak of heart. and forces them
to see what is not theirs.

Orange tulips wild and free
tell us things that can never be.
the pains of past are horns of plight
forever bow at hatreds might

A whiter breeze, that shallow feel.
a straining force that makes me kneel
a breath so cold it make me warm
like a gentle trample of a swarm
with bats and bees that have no wings
where on my feet I feel the stings
a poison bite, a rabid claw.
as veins erupt I stand in awe.

I feel the venom in my head.
it hurts me so. I'm still not dead
a needled itch goes down my throat.
I see a light. I'm on my boat.
and as I travel through the see
a simple wave will tarnish me.

"10 restless knights" pt. 10.: Spam's Tale.

  I have to say this as a way of defending my name and the nae of my children.
I am far from an IDIOT and a drunkard.
I mean, Just because I drink every hour of every day and I just happen to be drunk now. doesn't make me
at *HIC drunk..

THAT!
is for thelordalmightytodecide. NOT some IDIOT Priest and his IDIOT Wife.
and I'm not stupid either!
As a Matter of FACT
I am probably the MOST Intelligent person in this.
THIS stinkin' town you SEE!
I have this system you SEE
I let EVERYONE THINK I'm and IDIOT drunk.
so that they disregard me.
I sit alone.
I listen
I write what I  hear and sell it to some phony prophet.
who then sells his prophecies to the real IDIOTs
who then act on what they believe is true.
I sometimes. on dry days mostly sell the prophet lies.
most of which come to benefit me.
I have been gifted with confiscated gold from an evidence shed
that I am in charge of.

FRIENDSHIP

"10 restless knights" Pt. 9.:Blake's Tale

I see everything that goes on in this small world.
I draw everything I see. Good deeds. Bad deeds.
even indifferent deeds
I am a quick painter.
I illustrate almost instantly.
many knights know of my artwork.
they wish to see what goes on.
who cheats on who.
and who stole from whom.
and what was that which was stolen.
very rarely to they come to see what good deeds have come to pass.

Today a man of great stature and brawn asked to see an image of a man whom murdered royalty.
I showed him the image for a price. and as quick as he came he left.
he also took some pictures of a thief and a con artist.
the man enforced the law and I provided reason.

I was once asked If I could tell the future with my art.
he wished to know the outcome of the war.
I told him I could not draw the future.
the man became irate and then purchased an image of a cannibal eating his own brother.
the truth is I can tell the future with my art.
because from the past all future actions spout.
I have seen it all before.

DEITY

"10 restless knights" Pt. 8.:Artwole's tale

  Greetings and thank you.
why yes I AM better than you.
I'm faster, Stronger and I do every thing quite perfectly.
I am paid very well.
but only when there is no one else working along with me.
I am paid what 10 people's lives are worth.
just yesterday I was building the most expensive, and intricate
outdoor shelter structure in all the outskirts.
or even the front line. etc.
builts with planks of elements
 that spawn human hatred and greed.

an element so precious,
kings and men of great valor and strength
are the ones who carry it.

it was once believed that
sages and wizards combines rocks and magic to forge it.

In my recent adolescence.
I have realized that I two have a superior brain.
and using my powerful mind.
I have thought of a plan you see.
to keep the gold.
I use bright rocks.
he will never know the difference.

ECONOMICS

"10 restless knights" Pt. 7.: Moog's Tale

  Today was good.
I made a lot of money.
the war has been good for me.
I have been making good business.
In my kitchen I have been cooking non-stop.
meal after meal sold to the poor.
but mostly to the wealthy.
many poor beg for food.
but cannot afford it.
so I wait. I watch them starve.
today I found three dead at my doorstep

I made a stew.
sold it to the rich whom ate it gratefully
they say I am the greatest chef in the world
I whole heartily agree
the fruit of our laborers.
is the most delicious meal in our world.
I have tasted my meals
many times before I made a business out of it.

if not for their hard labors in the front-line
I'd be left with nothing.
less than nothing.

PROGRESS

"10 restless knights" Pt. 6: Daze's Tale

They have left me behind enemy lines. they...
They have left us. It has been..
It has been three weeks.
days after days wallowing in our own filth.
my partner before me.
the one...
the one that owwwnnned this journal.
has passed.

I found him hunched over it.
I may just have been the only one
the only one to have read his last thoughts.
-------------
I hear soldiers coming.
----------------

Let this be my last testament.
I am about to do the unthinkable.
the unthinkable.. the inconceivable

I leave my wife with.
My one most valuable possession.
My ever lasting love for her.
this is my final testament
I will not be alive after this.

I have escaped the prison that I was taken to.
and hid in the farmlands.
I discovered royalty.
in the most unlikely place.
 I have murdered royalty.

WAR

"10 restless knights" Pt. 5.: Rip's Tale

I'm behind enemy lines. The Establishment co--------
I'm shaken up. As I was writing the-------
I am in no condition to write at the moment
I can barely work up the strength to w-----------!

VALOR

"10 restless knights" Pt. 4.:Zanlor's Tale

IT IS HOT!
   I have been working all day and all night.
nonstop!
I don't care anymore.
My hands are numb with pain.
Pain I can't feel.

I'll let you in on a little secret
I lie.I don't work.
I'm just there watching.
I lift a few things once in a while.
I'm just a scapegoat.
I get blamed for most of life's problems.
doesn't matter thought there is enough of me to go around
I can multiply.
My sons do all the work.
I get paid very little.
but it is they whom get the short end of the stick
for I cannot be touched
I work for both sides.

Ever present.

I give my excuse that I wish to help
really I want nothing of the sort.
I have many families
my newest wife is very powerful
she is an adulterer
it matters not.
for she loves me more than that idiotic ogre.
I have nothing to lose so I take many risks.

LABOR

"10 Restless Knights" Pt.3.: Kingles' Tall

  I big, I strong,
I enforce the rules.
I captured a thief.
He was bad.
He steal valuable things.
He steal many things.
He even took life.

"What a shame", I say.
I be worse thief than him.
I take heart
Me looks and me power take many hearts
me also take souls
Small soul, Big soul.
mostly bad souls.
I no like bad men.
I kill bad men who steal.

......steal things.

I no steal
LOVE not thing.
right?
not like I choose what to steal\
I do no wrong.
women want me. women love me
women have me.
they steal too.
I enforce rules
they like power too.
do not steal from me.
cause I kill.

ORDER

"10 restless knights" Pt. 2.: Darod' Stale

  I killed a man today. It was horrible.
I can see it clearer than day.
He was protecting his stable.
Poor fool died for a belief.
I murdered him for property.
materials are physical incarnations of ideas.
inventions.

The reality of creation.
It's one true physical manifestation.
the fool lived on thoughts.
thrived on talking and acting.

He pleaded with me.
He begged that I would not kill him.
He offered me every thing that he owned.
If his own possessions were less valuable than his life
I was to take his most valuable possession
one he wouldn't trade anything for.
and that's why I killed him.

I fight for big gains.
Great rewards and for self satisfaction
morals and honor are just petty thoughts for me.
never worth any of my time.
I had a chance and I took it.
I took it all.

ADVANTAGE

"10 restless knights" Pt. 1.: Armos' Tail

   I once owned a stable in Whitfield. It was an extraordinary sight to see.
one that causes sore eyes and a shine in the buck teeth of many lesser men.
Ones unworthy of such a sight. I painted it gold.
 I used a stand to exemplify it's beauty.
I once foresaw it's destruction.
I was vain then. I rarely leaked paranoia.
Now it erodes the calm thoughts through thick gushes of sweat.

A king was killed there. I praise the day it happened.
I worship an action, a moment, a time.
'tis not a flaw in my logic
but a kink in life's armor.
I worship a time, a day, an hour, a second.
an idea, a symbol.
but today does not.

I hail destruction and despise order.
Anarchy is not my game
but the source of my fame.
I am the first knight.

REFORM

Throwing Stones

With a muttered coincidence
Gold yet struck.
Oil yet revealed.
Bestowed with the gift of silence
Burdened with the curse of solitude.
Mistaken phrases renounced in whispered utterances.


It is like looking into a shattered mirror. 7 years bad luck.
3rd time is a charm.
Repaired yet again.
Broken courage.
Glued with warm delusions of satisfaction
The light of persistence
Reveals every crack.


One is never whom one says one is. is one?

Wet Paint

I stumbled into something new
I, unaware of what to do.
A new mistake I'm sure to make
Another mask, new hand to take.
Attempt to reach it
I dare not.


I clearly haven't learned


Upon the floor.
A painters brush.
No worries now.
It's not a crush.
A stroke of truth
The color black
A dry brushed white
To show the cracks.
I aim to high.


Stained ambitions
No more precautions.
Reckless impatience.
Paint didn't settle.
Mixed emotions.
Colors blended by accident.


Painted the wrong picture.
No longer a work of art.
But a crime of passion.

Schizoid ( M I Q A D)

Question my motifs?
No arbitrary motives involved in this subtle transition
Rockefeller wasn't a rook
Nor Einstein a pawn
The bloated king dines on
Cesar's buttered snack.
The first president's invention
The last precedent in place.


Mary of the oval bar.
Curly bronzed transgression
Needled and sowed tears in time (wasted) and space (unused)
A glimmered twilight yawned
rash yet sophisticated.
The envy of a bitter brute.


"Flee" flaunted the peacock
Mistaken for twin serpents
Confused for each other.
Lovely venom
Painful seduction.
Stainless consumption.
Months within their bellies
Years without eating.


The moon's shine is a luff
red plastic trees
Tumble
Tumble
Tumbled
