Yellow Electric Seed
In its Majesty
Seed’s Mystery
Overwhelms---
She requires only Sun and Mist
To Flower into an
Infinite Possibility
Of Nature's magnificence---
Seed Codes conceal
Calibrations fractal---
Codes and Patterns cosmic
Sacred Seeds
Gifted through Generations
Guarantee Survival---
Life on Earth
Seeds' Latent Capability
Miracle of Growth---
Re-producing itself
In Earth's infinite Variety.

2 Chuen
Blue Lunar Monkey
Winged Ones gather---
Jay, Dove, and Crane
Calling each other
In joyous Refrain
On Branch and Vine
They entertain---
In verdant Abundance of
Oak and Pine.

1 Oc
In the West thin Lips
obscure wide Hips---
Speech distracts
from rolling
Vibrations of curvaceous
heavenly Bodies
An elemental pelvic Language
Calls to the dancing
Queens---
Serena…Jehan…Dalia…Salome…
Zahra…Scheherazade…Kleopatra…
Mesmerized by
whirling beads and silk---
Reason seeks refuge
in Desires of the Heart
To Rest in the Wombs
of Women
Ethereal Priestesses
float above
Intoning a Poetry of
mystical Love---
Psyche and Eros marry
Lip to Hip
The joyous Child is
born a dancing Queen.

Red Cosmic Moon
Our Moon---a subtle Sphere
Constantly inconstant
Appearing but to disappear---
Rekindling a
Faith unseen
Behind the shifting
Shapes of Things---
Red Moon---Blue Night
Pale Light---
Silhouette in
Silver White
Great Tides swell
Beneath her Spell---
Waters rise and fall---
The Force of Her
Magnetic Beam
Invites the Soul
To Answer
With a Dream.

12 Lamat
Yellow Crystal Star
Heavy was I
With Life unlived---
Tears unshed
Orbiting around myself---
Judging without Mercy
Merciful without Judgment
An Ogre sat
Upon my Heart
Devouring my Passion---
Then came You---
With Star-bright
Eyes –-your
Heart warm with Love
Wrapped like a Gift
From Above.

11 Manik
Blue Spectral Hand
Draw near to
Know the Mystery---
Mythology---
Cosmology of Soul
In Reverie and Reverence
Replete with Obeisance---
Unearth the Labyrinthine
Ways invisible
Reject me not
Nor spurn me
Do not fear---
Draw near
Forgive my Urgency
Insurgency---
No Thing compares
To this Emergency.

10 Cimi
White Planetary
World-Bridger
I sense the footfall of gentle Death
Dancing with Light and Peace---
Waiting upon Welcome
By nature, She is kind and shy---
Visiting but once
In our Lives.
Sweet Sleep---our Redeemer and Reward
We avoid and greet with protest---
Why mourn?
Cry instead an honest Tear
For terrible Loss and Fear
Let us praise and honor Death---
She the Vessel and sacred Ark
For our Escape from Nowhere
Into the Absolute Now Here.
