Shadows of Men

The salmon swims upstream to avoid the
temptation of the water buffalo's wayward ilk.
- Rilian

But remembering that doing the right thing
for the wrong reason is not all it's meant to be,
the wavering trout took the less traveled road
of the most independent yak.
-Maven

The pilgrimage home was ended quickly in the jowels of
the Great Griz, hence the old addage, "You can never go home."
- Rilian

All the way home and yet there to be found.
Alas the weight of the world is carried to the depths.
-Maven

If the ship sinks, and no one is looking,
the captain will move onto another berth,
and not go down with his ship.

Battling Breakfast

Sadly, yet another Anglican Warrior will
falter when
the traitor is revealed as both
beginning and end.

-Rilian

As ones mind has acted decidedly, will
they then take the fall? Or has it become
a product of the faltering battle that rages
within us all, becoming a burden we share
as one?
-Maven

Passion dictates that all good men rush the field,
keeping in mind the lessons gleaned from an early
breakfast. Will magic once again rear its beautiful
head in reverence for the song of the dead?
- Rilian

The Tiger and the Sea

When the tiger breaks free,
the television will return to
full color programming.
- Rilian

Though it seems that the tiger's stripes
have been jaded, if not removed, due to the
abominable acts of the trainer...
resulting in yet again another
botched show.
-Maven


Let it be known wide and far that the secret life
of the trainer has been brought to bare, and his
bungling shall be evermore retreated to such
abominations as crimson tides.

While this may be all so true, the fate
of the jungle is still at stake. Not
dissimilar to the crashing
waves
of the open sea.

-Maven

Then all that is left shall wilt to the tune of
a rams horn, dipped in the dreams of bearded
foes.

Sonny's Last Ballad

The Canadians smuggle rum into their bellies
whilst the jackals grow fat off parmesan cheese
- Rilian

Cheese that can only find its path to the sun

through the rigor of a waitress named Sarah
-
Maven

Should Loner Sonny play pool, the curdled
sustenance
will move along at a merry clip indeed
- Rilian

Unfortunately he was quickly captured due to his

incognizant curdling skills, which clearly caused
the breech in the westward dam
-
Maven

Choosing instead to write, the passing
dutch boy
scrawled "The Road Goes On Forever"
- Rilian

The Fleecing

At midnight the sloth will sell
his wares to an unsuspecting tourist

- Rilian

Not before the resounding rain patterns
its magnificent duet above the orchard's madness

-
Maven

But if gale force winds prevail,
nature's duet will have yet another player

-
Rilian

Galley-like

Candied Yams will be served in
Mr Archer's servants' quarters

-
Rillian 

Happy are the benevolent dogs that charter
the raft to seize and sell the fallen scraps

Maven

Revolt of the Sordid Few

Can the rain travel to New York on a giant's tears,
while avoiding the warlock?

Rilian

Only if the rooster does not aspire to any role in the
furtherance of the frosted trigger

Maven

The merchant will squallow his wares for a
walk on the beach at sunrise

Rilian

Beside the path of the tranquil torrent they will only go
so far as to see the result of beloved sparks.

Maven

The Sparks of passion can only serve to ignite a revolt of the working class,
unless the renaissance rapidly comes to fruition

Rilian

Well march then further, brave admiral, the tune of resounding cheers
calls aloud to all those freed yet again

- Maven


Wayward Seacreature

Whether the seahorse know or not,
the leopard was smoking with a rubber ball

Rilian

Ahh…but while smoking, realized that the founders
playful coquetry left the trees much to be desired,
hence the beginning of the age of reason

Maven

But shall the artisans fall through the ranks of dizzying fantasy, 
or can the seahorse meet Mr. Anthony on his way to town?

Rilian

Only if the algid road is faced in an unsuspecting way.
Much like the nod from a local owl merchant

Maven

Animal Instinct


The owl stayed behind, but only the
ploy of the grass will be revealed

Maven

Oh how the wind flows – as it goes so goes the
turtle under the guise of indifference

Rilian
