Red Spectral Dragon/ Overtone Peacock Moon of Radiance, Day 16

11 Imix

Red Spectral Dragon

My Grief –

 I own it as I would

A Dagger plunged

Deep into my Heart

The Blade would

End my Life

If it were steel

Yet Sorrow steals

Much more than Breath

From the dancing Soul –

Psychic Wounds

Bleed boundless Tears –

 Suffering creates

A Ground of Being –

‘Til Eros comes to

Pull the Blade out clean.

Yellow Planetary Sun/ Overtone Peacock Moon of Radiance, Day 15

10 Ahau

Yellow Planetary Sun

The disembodied Voice

So long held dear –

Communication

From afar –

Each Syllable and Word

Recalled –

Love’s Labors these

When Bodies separate

Reunion puts a Face on Love

Changes Space and Time

Adds Dimension – Touch –

More Feeling to a Phrase

 Rounding out Reality –

Turns Past and Future

Into Here and Now –

Transforming Promise

Into Vow.

Blue Solar Storm/ Overtone Peacock Moon of Radiance, Day 14

9 Cauac

Blue Solar Storm

My Heart is closed for Repairs 

Out to Lunch

Shut down

Boarded up against you

You refuse to give

Even to the starving Subway Seekers –

To me you give few Words

Weak Affection

A Pittance of Attention

Therefore I must retreat

Withdraw and free myself

From this Neglect

Until further Notice –

My Heart is closed for Repairs.

Then lifts into Flight.

11/26/2019 Red Resonant Earth/ Overtone Peacock Moon of Radiance, Day 12

7 Caban

Red Resonant Earth

I set down

A Ring of Fire

 The Bone

The Feather and the Cone

My Territory mark

I lay down to wait –

 Still – until

You crossed

The confines

Of my Heart

The Ring of my Wondering

The Ring of my Wandering

You braved the Limits

Of my Rage

My Childhood died –

 Fear fell as well

True Love spoke

Broken was the Spell.

Yellow Rhythmic Warrior/ Overtone Peacock Moon of Radiance, Day 11

6 Cib

Yellow Rhythmic Warrior

I will shock you into Joy –

Enough to slough away

The routine Day

Rendering sacred each Moment

In a heartfelt Hour –

Whenever you forget

Or lose your Self

I will appear –

Exploding unexpectedly

In the Heart of your Mind –

In the Mind of your Heart

If fleeting Greed and Fear

Freeze Creation

I will shake you

To your sacred Roots

With a Thunderbolt of Truth –

Oh, dearest One –

Hear my Words

Ineffable and numinous –

Feed your Soul

With Manna irresistible

Welcome me

For I am Love

Made visible –

Your highest Hope

Revealed

Your greatest Passion fulfilled

Life in Death Am I –

The Resurrection and the Way

Oh, my Beloved

Your Heart beats

To my Rhythm –

Open to receive me

At your Heart’s Door

For I stand and knock

I shall shock you –

Rock and roll you

Into the Fire-stream

Of Destiny –

Arise!

Now is the Time!

Blue Overtone Eagle/ Overtone Peacock Moon of Radiance, Day 10

5 Men

Blue Overtone Eagle

Persephone’s Song

Lord of the Underworld –

You captured me, abducted

Overwhelmed and took me down

Down to Darkness and Chaos

Down to the Soul of Night

Down to your Kingdom below us

Down where there is no Light

To the Land of the Dead –

Shades of long ago and might-have-been –

Where Obsessions rule, Ghosts live

Old Sins revive and breathe again

Ignorant was I in the Ways of Seduction

Masquerading as Love – perfect Prey

For the rapacious Wolf of Desire

The Eagle of Transformation

In your long gray Chariot

You came for me inevitably

Now am I Queen of the Underworld

Now am I Priestess of Mystery

When Innocence is Violence bound

Then is a Maiden lost –

And there a Myth is found.

4 Ix

White Self-Existing Wizard

Now the pounding Heart

Breaks open – broken

Into the Soul’s Ear –

Artilleries and Armies

Lob thunderous Volleys

Every Form of Fire Power

Sheds every Form of Blood

As Within, so Without

As Above, so Below

How…

When…

Where…

Peace?

NOW!

11/21/2019 Yellow Lunar Human/ Overtone Peacock Moon of Radiance, Day 7

2 Eb

Yellow Lunar Human

It was an August Moon that wed us –

Led us far beyond the Night

A billion Stars were Witness

Through their incandescent Light

Lunar Lamplight cast a Spell –

We traveled through an Aureole

Held in close Embrace

To a secret dreaming Place

Down an aisle of Liquescence

‘Neath the Moon’s quiescent Ride –

The Ocean sent us where no Sound lives

Save the rhythmic Murmur of the Tide.

1 Cauac

Blue Magnetic Storm

We sail –

Along shallow Streams of Obscurity

Into a wide River of Mediocrity

Across tempestuous Seas of Humanity

Through black Storms of Loneliness

Until the distant Shores of Bliss –

Find us.

White Cosmic Dog/ Overtone Peacock Moon of Radiance, Day 5

13 Oc

White Cosmic Dog

My Love –

It is a Part of me apart

Although it dwells within my Heart

Sculpted in Mortality –

It is immortal sure –

Far beyond the Boundary of Life

It does endure –

How can Life be ordinary now?

It is by Light infused –

Yielding such Vitality

That Radiance shines

And flies apace

The Passages of Time and Space

Conquering all Limitation

False Device and Artifice

Becoming infinitely fine –

Forever.

Red Crystal Moon/ Overtone Peacock Moon of Radiance, Day 4

3 Muluc

Red Crystal Moon

Like a golden Cup

The harvest Moon

Ascends - adorning

An eastern Sky

Seawater augments her Light –

Added to and multiplied

Upon the surface waves –

A Gown of scattered Gold

Into a silver Ball

As she flies she turns –

Into her western Bed –

Finally then she falls.

Yellow Spectral Star

Constantly inconstant 

Moons shapeshift

Keeping sacred Time

In perfect Harmony

 Maiden rises

With the Twilight

Slender silver Curve

In pale blue Skies

 Round Mother grows

Shining bright –

Full Moon glows

In Gowns of silver white

 Atropos* decreases

Light recedes –

Stars grow clear

A Gibbous Crone succeeds. 

*Atropos: One of the three Fates in Greek Mythology who influences human destiny.  Atropos is known as the Inexorable, and carries the shears that cut the thread of life.

White Solar World-Bridger

The Work of Love

Unties the (K)nots

Which stifle us

And choke

The Work of Love

Cuts the Dust

From past Mistakes

And Pain prolonged

The Work of Love

Clears the Sphere

Of Shame and Blame

Sanctioning Forgiveness

The Work of Love

Polishes and perfects

The radiant Soul –

Reaching into Darkness

To Heal and Make Whole.

11/13/2019 Yellow Resonant Seed/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 27

7 Kan

Yellow Resonant Seed

I recall the Night Medusa came to me –

“All that has been, that is, and that shall be”

I stood in western Twilight -

Revelation filled my Soul

My Blood awoke in Ecstasy

With the Knowledge that – She IS!

Then I knew the triple Goddess –

Sacred Feminine Power

Disparaged, despised, forgotten

Feared, beheaded, left for dead –

Lives ON!

Not a creature hideous

But a Symbol glorious

Medusa –

Wise Mother of Mysteries

Derider of  Evil and  Ignominy –

Your Gaze destroys

Your Blood resurrects

From you spring Chrysaor of the golden Sword

And Pegasus, the white-winged Steed

Without whom would Poets thirst –

     Their Muses without Hippocrene.*

*Hippocrene: literally “fountain of the horse.”  When Pegasus kicked the side of Mount Helicon, abode of the Muses, water sprang forth to inspire them and slake their thirst.
