''Verse'' by Mr. David Hart
''Verse'' by Mr. David Hart
Be not harried by apostasy spates
Surcease ye flux of basilic imprecations
Adhibit ye ,supernal paracletes
The pith of divinity
An Achates,
Vae victis
In this temporal realm
Chatoyant fanfaronade
Sursurrant congeries
Erelong abate
Shun the gaffer's gammon
Arcadian maundering
Avaunt kaleidoscopic zealotry
Bandy a cutlass perfervid
Ex aequo et bono
Beneficence's glaive bandies.
Preside atheling echt
In pharos of Nestor
Bestow succor to the augean Boeothians!
Malign them not--for now come the celestial shower
To halidom, shepard, solace and anele
Ye benighted churls

"Faustus" by David Hart
"Faustus" by David Hart
Faustus croons
Robust and beneficent
He's a gent bedighted
Lordly in a bosk boon
Forever, we yearn for more,
More since we've heard
His splenetic tunes
Faustus' winds tickle me
In barrancas effulgent
And copses verdant and free
Dear Faustus, begird me cool in forrests
majestic
Breezes langorious caress me
In assuasive gardens of dew
Anoint me in streams and rivers glorious
Steep me in spates splendiforous
Slap me with prickly rain dropliforous
Oh, His munificent gargantuan gree
Great padishah to big and small
What glorious sights there to see
Dave Hart 2006
vocabulary: bedight- v. to dress or array, boon-
jolly; jovial; convivial: boon companions, n. something to be thankful for; blessing; benefit, copse - a dense growth of bushes

''Guns of Winter'' by David Hart
''Guns of Winter'' by David Hart
Now the powdered chimney's breath
Exhales canescent puffs
Cruel wiley winter blasts harsh
Pummelling all in it's icy sights
Houses grimace grotesquely and eaves groan moanfully
Donning a new set of crystalline teeth
Anon, shivering birds seem hesitant
Swathed in winter's slicing binds
Icily gothic chandelier trees
Their crackly boughs must cleave
Obedient to the will of winter's
might
The crucible cold holds all to
it's sniping tribulations
Pelican trucks gooble up white streets
People hug themselves more these days,
While crunchshuffling along, teeth blurred
clattering in a symphony of spasm grunting cars.

''A Bird For Thanatos'' -- by David Hart
''A Bird For Thanatos'' -- by David Hart
Confect not that nest for mate and brood! O ebony vestured
inhabitant of air and ground.
Anon ye rest, quasi-supine on bladed verdant sheet.
Requiescat in pace! Requiescat in pace!
Wafted by Thanatos' immutable call, so ye shall rest.
Forever rest silent and still little black bird, ne'er to skuttle
for and extirpate errant creatures vermiculate. Wellaway dear dark
denizen of sky and earth.
Heaven alas wields its' aspergillum of gentle crystaline drops
now upon you--Thanatos' irenic catch. Ne'er to descant from dawn til dusk through fastigated beak.
Upon me now a lauwine of gloom implodes my soul. Requiescat in pace!
Requiescat in pace!
Kowtow do I to the now still indicia of the reaper's jeremiad--summer winds eftsoons, quietly strum a lakh of minimalist monochromatic monodies through trees' indolent pliant branches.
Ywis, nevermore those mercurial fulgurations in Njortr's realms, no more honeymooning in topiaries, unmewed from raptorial paladine pursuits -- forever.
Requiescat in pace! Requiescat in pace!

''The Barghest's Monody'' by David Hart
''The Barghest's Monody'' by David Hart
Therewithal, profluent life ettles it's while.
Thitherward, from Death's bleak campanile
Grim antiphonals serenade.
A capriccio, the slashing swipe of the reaper's scythe
will serenade.
Stringent Death forthwith anoints the mithridate to
Life's cantankerous and rankling ado
Hither now come, anon recondite Azrael, neither protend
nor annex this throttled contretemps.
The antiphonal of the reaper's cavalier scythe
Shall now serenade.
Awhirl, like kerfs demarcated
Years, bollixed, muzzy and brattled
shall holus-bolus expire.
No retaliation to death's gloomy surcease
No ingenious riposte to the reaper's final cleave.
Bootless now to don the amulets,
squeeze the jujus,
Kiss the talismans,
clutch the periapts or
Attire in steely cataphract.
The serenading of the reaper's scythe,
it's efficacy shall blithely cleave.
Bedim mine eyes from life's assailing
Bedim mine eyes from life's poltroonery

Ne me trompez pas Thanathos
Ne me regardez pas
Ne taillez pas votre épée nué à moi.
Un vaisseau de la vie pour moi.
Ne m'ésclavez pas dans votre horreur.
Déchargez-moi.
Un vaisseau de la vie pour moi.
Je vous supplie. Va t'en ésprits de malheur.
Non au rivièr Styx.
Je voudrais brûler
Dans la danse éternel de la vie.

"I Gotta Gun" 2nd version by David Hart
"I Gotta Gun" 2nd version by David Hart
I gotta gun.
I'm somebody now.
O, to hold my gun.
I feel so big and
so strong.
I like killin' things.
Bottles and cans are OK
But something alive
To snuff out life
That's the fine exquisite
thrill.
I feel so whole with my
gun. Why should I work
for other's respect when
I can get their fear and
respect by pullin' my gun.
To see blood splurt out
of some animal after I
plugged it good.
Yes. Yessss.
To snuff out life.
I feel like God.
I anxiously anticipate
someone giving me good
reason to use my gun.
someone rubbed me the
wrong way at work today.
I wouldn't think to ignore it,
I wouldn't think to get another job.
Maybe I'll go in and blow anyone
that has upset me away today.
I have no capacity to forgive
I have no capacity to forget.
I won't forget or forgive any
wrong done to me. I file it
away to latter get my revenge.
I only focus on my interpretation
of wrongs done to me.
I never think about all the
good that is afforded me
day after day.
I know I am OK.
Everyday, someone on the TV
has got a gun and is shooting
someone. Must be OK. It's
on the TV.
I got my gun and I ain't
never gonna forgive
and I ain't never gonna
forget.

"Father" by Dave Hart
"Father" by Dave Hart
Father dreamed of dancing trees & flowers
Singing in elation
Father saw cars on pilgrimage
Bouncing like rubber balls
Down undulating streets
Father swirled in affectionate winds
Chanting cheery tunes
Waving his arms trying to fly high
Father stood on shivering streets
Teary clothes & shaking limbs
And smiles
Father smiled 10,000,000 times
And 1,000,000 times laughed out loud
Father's soul poured out music for
all to hear delighting
"El Padre" by David Hart (Translation by Daniel Tucker)
El Padre soñó con los arboles bailers y los flores
Contando con júbilo
El Padre miró las coches en peregrinación
Rebontando como si fueran pelotas de goma
Por las calles ondulandas
El Padre se arremolinó en los vientos sensibles
Cantando las tonadas alegres
Saludando con sus brazos queriendo volar alto
El Padre estaba de pie en las calles temblantes
Las ropas llorosas y las miembras sacudiendose y sonrisas
El Padre sonrió por diez millones de veces
Y un millón de veces se rió fuerte
El espiritu de Padre desahogó la musica para
Todos oyeran deleitándose

"Tristana" (Rough Draft) by David Hart
"Tristana" (Rough Draft) by David Hart
O, Tristana mine heart doth flutter with joy
For you--so lissom and lithe my Tristana
Tristana, most protean, under undulating skys
She gracefully dances in profluent ecstasy
My heart opens for the exhuberant Tristana
Amidst galliard crisp verdant fronds
The winds caress my dear sensuel Tristana
Vocab: galliard-lively; profluent-flowing forth
protean-ever changing, changeable;

"An Admirable Man" by David Hart
"An Admirable Man" by David Hart
Inquisitive women wonder where
his secret lies.
An intriguing man with
an evocative mind.
It's the strength of his charms
The span of his mind
A rumbling tenor of his laugh
The flash of his eyes
He's a well experienced man
An admirable man
He enters a room as casual
as he pleases
And the yearning eyes of the
women follow him
Some fall to their knees
It's the fire of his thought
The flash of his wit
The song in his heart
The ecstasy of his kiss
He's a man. An extraordinary gent,
A mesmerizing tantalizing man
Women endlessly wonder
at his enigmatic smile
They can't touch his mystic style
He's a magnificent man,
An admirable man
To the ladies he's always
giving them hints.
But they are left exasperated
They simply can't get a handle
on his gift
He's a great man, a delighting man
With a glide in his slide
A man of tempestuous style
and scintillating grace
He doesn't speak loud
He doesn't have to act proud
His actions and words set the
girls in a whirl
He's a man of monumental personality
He's a man, a man of gargantuan glee
He's a fantastic gent, an admirable man
Inquisitive women wonder where
his secret lies.
An intriguing man with
an evocative mind.

Spinning, swirling, air born, little tiny bits
Glitter and glisten.
These are mysterious
Muses.
Blaze. Blaze mellifluous, mysterious, and
Nimble.
Tickling. Now to revel in their time.
Revel now from cheeky to wise.
Revel now from twilight to darkness.
Revel now from superstition
To knowledge.
Blaze mellifluous
From the wild antics of turmoil
'til the ends of time.

The Man in the Cardboard Box by Dave Hart
The Man in the Cardboard Box by Dave Hart
The man in the cardboard box
Maybe sleeping something off
Tattered and rank
That could be you or I there
But for whims of fate.
The man in the cardboard box
He is your brother
He is your father
He is your uncle
He is your son
But for whims of fate.
The man in the cardboard box
I don't think his major need
is food or clothing or rent
money.
The man in the cardboard box
needs compassion, empathy,
friendship and love.
The man in the cardboard box
has a story to tell and needs
someone to not only listen but
to act.
I was a man in a cardboard
box years ago.

"Spellbound" by David Hart
"Spellbound" by David Hart
Spellbound, amazed, in awe,
Tickled with
Wonderment, a multitude of loves
Gained and loves lost, delighted
To walk through canyons of
Skyscrapers and forests laden
With trees, showered in warm
Splashing puddlishous rain falls, and
Showered in gentle tones of
Admirations, battered by cold
Cutting winds and shouts of
Castigation,
Walking tall and proud like
The Kodiak bear, flying and
Flitting hither and yon,
Like the Monarch butterfly,
Treading softly and quietly like
A brown and white rabbit
Celebrating at others triumphs,
And accomplishments, remorseful
At my fellows low points in life,
I continue in joy and sorrow ever
Looking forward and into the sun,
To a gift of another most
Delicious day.

"This Moment in Time" by David Hart
Leaves gleefully joyride
an undulating stream
Under crisp scintillating
sun light.
A butterfly rests in the
hand of God.
A sword is tightly clasped
in Allah's hand.
A flower is caressed by
the Buddha.
Now a break in fervent
faith occurs.
A group of children laugh
and peer at an ant farm.
A butterfly ascends from
the hand of God.
A sword cascades to the
ground from Allah's hand.
A small child delights
upon receiving the Buddha's
flower.
A giddy wind now weaves lovingly
through ticklish trees.

Sleepy-eyed,

Hwaet, cruel fierce

On high they pound
A freezy sky
A malicious on high
jettison crystal chunks, spears,

Earth bound down

Three hundred trillion
Tons of malevolent ice,
Rain and white frozen
laced flakes
To weak roof tops
cities and lakes.
Months of mounds
Months of dread
Months of fright
O a heavy heart
Regrets for the

The frigid fist
the pounding fright
The streams of prayers
For multiple
tear filled nights.

"Luscious Dream" by David Hart
Dream,
Melodious
I recall
A blinking,
Pulsating,
And twinkling
Sky.
Quixotic,
Heaven of joy.
I struggle to
Dream.
Thinking thoughts
Of Harmony.
One can, at times,
live a life
abounding
in selfish
deeds.
Frantic life.
A reminiscent dream of
love--luscious, luxuriant,
magnificent love.
That great havoc of
Love.

"A Day Late and A Dollar Short" by David Hart
It was a cold dreamsicle night
A blackbird colored sky dripped
Rice Krispie snow bits down
On a cracked dirt ridden street
An egg yoke colored taxi shuffleslides
by, blowing smoke rings from its rattling
rear pipe.
I was worn out like an overused dish rag.
I sat spinning semi-circles on a
swivel stool at Joe's Open All Night
greasy diner.
An angry cup of coffee winked at me with
Mud puddled eyes and dared me to drink it.
A rag doll woman with shredded wheat hair
Sat sucking on a bent cigarette
Her smeared lipstick put on like a bad
coloring book.
Two yellow bug eyed eggs squinted at me
and said they'd
like to get to know my aching heart.
I gave a slight half smile to my
smeared redded up mouthed fellow epicurean.
Her nostrils flaired as cigarette smoke and makeup powered
fell from her boozer nose.
This could be my 208th love affair --
This one will last I am sure of it.
A couple of burgers on the once silver grill
now screamed their last thoughts on life.
Another day late, another dollar short.

A Time of Youth by David Hart
A Time of Youth by David Hart
A time of youth
They called me a teen
Workin' hard and
Workin' mean,
at the Sears
Roebuck warehouse.
Loadin and unloadin' pallettes,
Put some boxes on the pallette
Take some boxes off the pallette
Boxes on
Boxes off
Startin' at midnight--
Eight hours a day--
Sometimes twelve--
Gotta get the O.T.
That's what we called
Overtime.
A time in youth
An age of a teen.
Jamal worked there too.
He smoked wacky tobacy
and lived in the Cabrini
Green Housing Projects.
Chicago, Illinois.
Breaktime at Sears and
Jamal and I would indulge
in the fearsome herb and some
cough medicine.
Just a little balm to
Get through the graveyard
Shift at Sears.
A time in a year of my teens.
A little balm to ease
the hardscrabble pain.
Went to visit Jamal at the
projects. What did I hear?
"Hey Whitey, Hey Honkey,
Hey White Bread, Hey Snowflake,
Whadda ya doin' here"?
"Geez I said just visitin' my
friend Jamal".
Shoulda said I was movin' in
Coulda said I was movin' in.
Folks come to my neighborhood
With a deep rich skin tone,
I'd never think to say "Hey
Coal face, Hey Charcoal, Hey
Blackie".
I'd usually say, "Hi, Welcome,
What's new, and What's Happenin".
Just a little time at the
Cabrini Green.
Just a little time

"Phantasmagoria" by Dave Hart
"Phantasmagoria" by Dave Hart
I
You gaze silently
and stare squinting
through your stained glass panes.
Now pulling aside
sapphire drapes
of flowing somber samite
Replete with glowing organdy
You gaze out.
Lo, a lazy mesmerized
quixotic moon--
blithely blows kisses,
wryly winks
and coyly smiles.
Yea, a light seesaw of a day
of ecstasy and spritely delight--
now wanes to a quiet evening tune.
II
Transfixed you
muse --attent through moist
window panes.
And now enter the past pains
through
a flowing Rorschach panorama
of fluid specters--
a pentimento painting
of myriad serpentine days
metamorphosing
into mellifluous mellowing nights.
Now mirthful,
this moon merrily
mills reticent
clouds in a star
clustered plight.
The meeting with Morpheus...
--wondering of his mood--
cheery and cherry,
one hopes.
III
In the soft security
of your pliant bed--
a weary cheek cradled
in thoughts of this
day now blithely tread--
a voice and vision from the past--
"night night
nighty nite
sleep tight".
IV
Dreaming..
in a dream
Floating in the night skyscape
. . a phantasmagoria
of sensual sights and sounds. .
riding in a catamaran of gilded silk. .
over the still quiet town.
There's the tailor's shop,
the market place,
and the gurgling fountains of the park.
On to other lands afar. .
the Taj Mahal. .
the Great Wall of China
the winged maneuvers of a lark
V
Dreaming . . .
reeling red and yellow
sea horses laugh and dance
while
you roar
over tree tops . . .
mermaids now samba agog
with cheshire cats to the
music of Sergei Rachmaninoff .
shooting stars
of blue purple catching
bolts of lightening
VI
Dearest one
awake now
and stir . . .
To scents of frankincense
and myrrh . . voices of the past.
Long lingering in your cozy warm bed . .
with thoughts
tantalizing in your graceful head . .
Birds twitter
and herald yon
day's new light . . .
a new morn sun yields
cascading
delight.

Long lingering in your cozy warm bed . .
with thoughts
tantalizing in your graceful head . .
Birds twitter
and herald yon
day's new light . . .
a new morn sun yields
cascading
delight.
David Hart 2006
"I Gotta Gun" a poem by David Hart
"I Gotta Gun" by David Hart
I gotta gun.
I'm somebody now.
O, to hold my gun.
I feel so big and
so strong.
I like killin' things.
Bottles and cans are OK
But something alive
To snuff out life
That's the fine exquisite
thrill.
I feel so whole with my
gun. Why should I work
for other's respect when
I can get their fear and
respect by pullin' my gun.
To see blood splurt out
of some animal after I
plugged it good.
Yes. Yessss.
To snuff out life.
I feel like God.
I anxiously anticipate
someone giving me good
reason to use my gun.
someone rubbed me the
wrong way at work today.
I wouldn't think to ignore it,
I wouldn't think to get another job.
Maybe I'll go in and blow anyone
that has upset me away today.
I have no capacity to forgive
I have no capacity to forget.
I won't forget or forgive any
wrong done to me. I file it
away to latter get my revenge.
I only focus on my interpretation
of wrongs done to me.
I never think about all the
good that is afforded me
day after day.
I know I am OK.
Everyday, someone on the TV
has got a gun and is shooting
someone. Must be OK. It's
on the TV.
I got my gun and I ain't
never gonna forgive
and I ain't never gonna
forget.
I gotta gun.
I'm somebody now.
O, to hold my gun.
I feel so big and
so strong.
I like killin' things.

"Now" by David Hart
"Now" by David Hart
Let us embark now, you and I,
As evening splays out to
The blue-blackening sky.
Let us ride through
Particular smooth stoned
Streets,
To incoherent cacophonous
Retreats,
To white table-clothed
Restaurants,
And mint pillowed four
Starred hotels,
With cherished friends
And talk of noble feats,
To dancing streets that
Entice our feet.
And indeed this is now
This gallant moment in
Time.
Gales of laughter now
Somersault through
the roof pirouetting
in the sky, then careen
now down to tickle the
tops of our heads.
The time is now
And always will be.
No time for the past.
No time for the future.
They don't really exist.
Now exists.
Now will be the moment.
Now will always be the moment.
Forever, now.

"This Moment in Time" by David Hart
Leaves gleefully joyride
an undulating stream
Under crisp scintillating
sun light.
A butterfly rests in the
hand of God.
A sword is tightly clasped
in Allah's hand.
A flower is caressed by
the Buddha.
Now a break in fervent
faith occurs.
A group of children laugh
and peer at an ant farm.
A butterfly ascends from
the hand of God.
A sword cascades to the
ground from Allah's hand.
A small child delights
upon receiving the Buddha's
flower.
A giddy wind now weaves lovingly
through ticklish trees.

I love my car by Hart
I love my car
It makes me feel so good
I love the smell of my car
I love to go places in my car
I love when people see me in
my car. My car is so wonderful.
I look so cool in my car.
I am my car and my car is me.
I could never live life
without my car.
Car is good. No car is bad.
I would never walk or ride
a bike when I could take my
car. How do people live
without a car? Mmmmmm?
I think I'll go take a ride.
A ride in my car.
It makes me feel so good

Tantalizing Memory by David Hart
On an ending of a day most wearying
With skies overcast and drearying
Glimpsed I your delcate flowing hair
And did lose my track of time
Back through years of care
To whence you were all mine
A flowing dancing head of hair
Nudged me from my pensive lair
Your diamond smile and perfect nose
Your reticence to be a politely close
Our eyes spoke of rare treats of the day
Your lips whispered in a cavalier way
Your diaphonous spectre tantalizes me
again this night
Wresting me once again from my Cimmerian
plight.

"Devastation" by David Hart
Where to go what to do?
Alas, the gentle home is gone
Where to go what to do?
Excursions with the trusted
vehicle--no more.
It's gone--the house, the vehicle
gone.
The memorabilia damaged and gone and
now only the mind's corners to search
for past delights.
Familiarity is now in scarce supply.
Confusion and newness are the main
course.
Chaos now overtakes the status quo.
Where is our special pet?
The kind known now departs and
the harsh unknown is in its place.
Where to go what to do?

"Gun Love" a poem by David Hart
I gotta gun.
I'm somebody now.
Oh, to hold my gun.
I like killing things with it.
Bottles & cans are OK,
But something ALIVE, yes
Alive--to snuff out life.
That's the fine exquisite thrill.
See Blood splurt out of some animal.
Pure joy. Just after I plugged 'em
Good. Yes, yes.
To snuff out life. I feel so good.
I feel like God.
Waiting, waiting, waiting.
For someone to give me a good
Reason, to use my Gun.
Someone rubs me wrong at work,
I won't ignore it.
I ain't gettin' another job.
I have no capacity to forgive
Nay, nor to forgive. Not me.
An eye for an eye. A tooth
For a tooth. It's in the Bible.
Only solution, blow them away.
With my Gun.
I easily forget all the good
That comes my way. I only
Think of the bad. Everyone
Wrongs me all the time.
Time for me and my Gun
To make them pay.
I know I am ok.
Everyday, on TV,
A gun here, a gun there.
Must be ok. I see it on TV.
I got my Gun. I love my Gun.
I never forget. I never forgive.
It ain't my way.
I'm somebody now.
Oh, to hold my gun.
I like killing things with it.
Bottles & cans are OK,
But something ALIVE, yes
Alive--to snuff out life.
That's the fine exquisite thrill.
See Blood splurt out of some animal.
Pure joy. Just after I plugged 'em

To snuff out life. I feel so good.

"The SUN, The ACE and the CME" by Dave Hart
Fair beautiful
Northern Light
Come now
the corona's
surging graph
Yon nano
tesselate awhirl
Avast south polarity
this nervous night
Resplendent magnificent
scintillating sun
Your solar maximum
and dread south
polarity light
Yielding anon
helter-skelter
bouncing

synergisticly high
Regal lords of
the electric

the empire of

Beware and avert
the imminent overload
The great plash
of the imminent
solar energy.

"Bang, Boom, & KaPow!" by David Hart
Buildings go bang
Tanker trucks go pow
Bombs, grenades & firecrackers
We love out explosions and love
our bombs.
Boom, Bang, and KaPow
Let's blow something up!
Much easier than building
something up!
Atom bombs, Hydrogen bombs,
Nuclear bombs, Cherry bombs,
Roadside bombs--Wanna celebrate
something--boom, bang & kapow
Boom Bang and KaPow
Hip, Hip, Hooray!
More fun to blow it up
Than to build it up.
Air plane bombs, Napalm bombs
A little bomb her,
A little bomb there
Everywhere a bomb bomb.
Bombinate away this once
quiet day!
Bomb them to Kingdom come!
Human bombs, suicide bombs, car
bombs, truck bombs
KaBoom, KaPow Bang & Pow
We love our bombs.
Tank bombs, stink bombs,
Homemade bombs, fire bombs,
Bomb the sun slake day.
Malatov Cocktail anyone?
Suitcase bombs, megaton bombs,
Donkey bombs--a bomb a day
yields a doctor his pay.
A shoe bomb or pipe bomb,
let's blow it up and call
it a day.
A letter bomb, a chair bomb,
a clock bomb, a refrigerator bomb,
a TV bomb, a computer bomb, a
tree bomb, a hat bomb, a rug bomb,
a motorcycle bomb--
let's get cooking on it right away.
Blow it up and blow it away.
