Lieutenant Dan

Did you forget us thy poorest candles of flame and jam

These arm bands be band aids upon heart held by brothers hand

Be this day one shall Captain fate to seek his best man Lieutenant Dan

Silence teething his self tyrant declarations upon quiet violence planned

Sword but thy only brush that paint his Von Wolf upon black flags

Shall we not best death today my old friend, let us once more take stance

For none shall dare take from life unfair to give my fate its gift of chance

This the performance of Man his custom of courtesy be us fools that dance

Knighted by Mother Lords entrusted to tyrant love in conquests over Warlords

She gives cover of wings that covet his courage carried on shouldered award

Scars and stripes that cannot fade for it bleed no debt owed to landlords

Lieutenants his solitude to stare at deaths soul his finest boast

Above us bared witness for bravery shamed to none on this boat

Duelling nights of mare thy wielders cursory his nursery sword

Woe to despair thy mightiest of foe be he who’s born his own foolish Lord

How it screams at every passing dream that take of my first scorn

What answers return as each curse be a verse coming undone

Who wish for worlds to give all of life for one more hug from Mum

Windows to the cruel upon this sill his mask to hide the fool

Gods of sea no mercy shall be ever my final deed diving to her pool

Suggestive be ones reflection beg to question what never be asked

Until strength left his last effort to task upon that highest mast

Fairest of maidens don’t fade this day please release my chamber heart

I cant see heaven for I lost my spirit throwing empty bottles to the dark

Take of death one more minute if she be so quiet of kisses

Release of me this coin I wish to wells so deep to wet these whiskers

Emotion sickness give definition my afflictions of missing

Visions tease straightened crease please release this lease on prison 

Heavens court appointed institution correctors of Naught born

Nine moons of Marauder to Quon we draw four spades of Jack over corn

Threw what knew of any loathing self to this my baby blue

Arrived by cradle ladled in waters broke from her womb

Celebrants benevolence leaving cellophane bouquets by her tomb

Sing their tunes of Dune sat trebled signatures of Clef upon Typhoon

Daughter of Moons gift her birthday balloons our candles of lumen Neptune

Parting walls in waves she opens cellar doors to see us through

Huntress thy flying Duchess seductive be her deductions of man to epiphany

She gives not of life in servitudes to death when leaving the shores of me

Rolling carpet over motions of Nova in these Arabian seas

Aladdin's Lantern of tantrums grant me grace in dreams seated for afternoon tea

Silverware of the Spaniard galloping fleets thy gallant galleons for Maid Marion

Captain Evil of Knievel see his Eagle riding Poseidons stallion

Each of us be humble of craft but no charity shall we ask

Makeup brush make blush those young take rest of their dark

Long be each of these days grow old mirrors bane what my one eye does say

Speaks to me in parlay undressed of distress sending mayday from Midway

Black comet of Necropolis rain your steam upon those esteemed of mind

Turns of Man spun fears that left us holding the Sun up high

For once the lost but never have died now millennia has found us of pride

Precision bends our visions always shall we put up fists to fight

Not for us this day for only the old shall lay before all Gods of death

Fear not their mortal shadow they cast portals to yesterday finding their best

Ask not of his dread to sign autographs crested in Wigan stars to your chest

With not of love to write first but last of verse in text

This unto yourself be not enemy but thy best pen pal of friend

Scribing macabre tribes of when birds warned the hordes of Men

Drawn of Sword once pulled from the Moors these tattoos need no pen

Stand with us never do we break crust on a days rust

Fallen tree we cross to trade only the dirt taken of us

Give back our love we lost for each man himself be trials of tough enough

Fall lost sons of leaf wake up Jake to find his trust of the Muss

Hailing those whales still sailing the Talladega water rail till dusk

Lost wanderers to Earth we return this world to her giant tusks

Ever of time shall misery miss her sitting upon this eclipse

One to each cheek she left her heart in a star on horizons with kisses of lipstick

Embracing interlaced traces starved to bask for one day may we taste her immortal dark

Eldest wolf learned that every howl starts with the smallest bark

We the unruly be asked of duty the highest honour to ever ask

The saddest sailors that ever did see seven seas of star

Pirates to no admired silence, we carry his happy to worlds ever far

Holding dark to ask may we present our last heart of the All Spark

 

No shadows betray for he the exiled shall find us the wild

Onward to victory his child
