Blue Planetary Storm/ Magnetic Bat Moon of Purpose, Day 6

10 Cauac

Blue Planetary Storm

 

  Dismembered like Osiris

Am I –

 

Parts of me scattered

O’er Land and Sea

 

A Lineage of Gods

Precedes and supersedes me –

 

Dionysus, Orpheus –

Every sacred King

 

Where is my Beloved?

Is he gone forever?

 

Is he willing to (re)collect

Me Piece by Piece?

 

Re-member me, my blessed Twin –

Redeem me out of Chaos

Into Peace!

Rosettes – Chariots

Dolphins leaping

 

Marble Goddesses

Fresh white Flesh –

Alabaster Arms akimbo –

Smooth – unbowed

Though Ten Thousand

Years they hold.

Red Galactic Earth/ Magnetic Bat Moon of Purpose, Day 4

 8 Caban

 

Red Galactic Earth 

 

The blushing Earth

 Turns coyly  

From Sun’s fierce Eye

At dusk –

 

 Through the Night

She navigates Revolutions –

Spinning sacred Synchronicities

 

Nurtured by

This sapphire Sphere

Her Children gather –

Under her pale Sister Moon.

Yellow Resonant Warrior/ Magnetic Bat Moon of Purpose, Day 3

7 Cib

 

Yellow Resonant Warrior 

 

A hidden Thing is Wisdom

 A Seed within the Fruit

Her Power is Potential –

Patient – prudent – innocent

 

Confused with Knowledge often

 Wisdom grows apace –

From experiential Soil

In tune with Nature’s Grace

 

 Understanding finally blossoms –

Protection falls away –

  All Flowers issue Fragrance

Of irresistible Bouquet.

Blue Rhythmic Eagle/ Magnetic Bat Moon of Purpose, Day 2

6 Men 

 Blue Rhythmic Eagle

 

 Gentle Breezes

Float on Pine –

Which Alchemy to subtle

 Music does refine –

 

Thrumming Whispers humming

Make audible the Air –

 

 Nature’s Instrument the Tree

Exquisite String and Bow –

Singing up to Heaven

All Glory here below.

White Overtone Wizard/ Magnetic Bat Moon of Purpose, Day 1

5 Ix

White Overtone Wizard

 

Thou art liquid Crystal rising---

Animated prism’d Rain

I am warm and flaming Fire

Burning in your watery Bower---

 

In tandem, do we represent

Extremes of Nature---

Opposites in Temperament---

A Union most phenomenal

This wondrous Fount and Flame---

The Alchemy of Godhead---

Hippocrene* by name.

 

*Hippocrene:  the fountain (fountain of the horse) on Mount Helicon, sacred to the Muses, engendered by a stroke of Pegasus’ hoof; source of poetic inspiration.

Day Out of Time 7/25/2023 Red Self-Existing Skywalker

4 Ben

 

Red Self-Existing Skywalker

 

 I can almost hear

My Soul walking –

She was crippled – lame

Limping about –

Slouching toward Bethlehem

In Grief and Pain

Separated from Splendor –

Spending Days cramped  

In over-crowded Places –

In small guarded Spaces

 

Now Signs and Symbols shout –

Translating the Unconscious

Into Consciousness –

Crushing the overarching Power

Of the Patriarchy

To miss the Point entirely

 

Oh, my waking, walking Soul – my Guide –

Let us prance and dance with Ease

Like a fat elm in a strong Breeze –

My Heart beats to the Rhythm of your Stride.

7/ 24/ 2023 Yellow Electric Human/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 28

3 Eb

 

Yellow Electric Human

(A Sonnet Shakespearean)

  

Oh Muse, oh Husband, may you be the same

That I need only look to one for All

Allow my Marriage to yield more than Name

As Adam cherished Eve before the Fall

Dear Muse, dear Husband, if it be our will

May well our Union celebrated be

While we raise Progeny of Ink and Quill

Prolific now but moreso presently

We’ll populate the earth with measured Feet –

Not Human merely but also in Verse

Verse whose noble Lines inspire not Deceit –

But Love and Honor o’er the Universe

 

When so my musing husbanded shall be –

None other would I bow before but Thee.

7/23/2023 Blue Lunar Monkey/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 27

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 a verdant Abundance of

 Oak and Pine.

7/22/2023 White Magnetic Dog/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 26

1 Oc

 

White Magnetic Dog

  

In the West thin Lips obscure wide Hips

Speech distracts from rolling

Vibrations in curvaceous heavenly Bodies

 

 An elemental pelvic Language

Calls to the dancing Queens –

Serena—Jehanne—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 unseen

Intoning a Poetry of Completion

Psyche and Eros marry Lip to Hip

The joyous Child is born a dancing Queen.

Red Cosmic Moon/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 25

13 Muluc

 

Red Cosmic Moon

 

Our Moon – a subtle Sphere

Constantly inconstant

Appearing but to disappear---

 

Reminding us of

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 this

Her magnetic Call

Invites the Soul

To Answer

With a Dream.

Yellow Crystal Star/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 24

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.

Blue Spectral Hand/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 23

11 Manik

 

 Blue Spectral Hand

 

Draw near to

Hear 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.

White Planetary World-Bridger/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 22

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 us 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.

Red Solar Serpent/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 21

9 Chicchan

 

Red Solar Serpent

I mine the Depths

Traveling on Instinct –

Pulling Rubies, Diamonds

From the Walls --

Plucking perfect Pearls

From an Oyster’s Shell –

 

I drop

Into Realms chthonic –

Into Realms Plutonic

Underneath the Sea

To Luz – the Goal –

My Home of

Many Mansions –

 My Soul.

Yellow Galactic Seed

 

Sweet Calla –

Like a Goddess

In the Garden

 

Image of the Heart –

Cream in part

And golden, too

Androgyny’s Ideal –

Your velvet Depths

Pierced by Pollen –

Bearing Stamen

 

Symbol of Truth

Grace embodied –

Flower of the dreaming Fields

 

 Marker

Of Ritual and Rite –

Regal – majestic

 Lily-white.

In Flight

On Eagle’s Wing.

White Rhythmic Wind/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 18

6 Ik

 

White Rhythmic Wind

  

Poetess I call myself –

 Lines I rhyme

Fine Phrases do I form –

 

My Thoughts evolve

In parcèd Time

As Rhythms sweet are born –

 

If I dare

Disclose to you

A rare or radiant Verse –

 

You see the Light

In darkest Night –

The lifting of a Curse.

5 Imix

 

 Red Overtone Dragon

 

Within me

 Moves Peace

Like a Zeitgeist

Ready to be born

In this Age of Chaos

 

The World - Heart opens

To the Height of Heaven –

To the Depths of Hell

 

On the vast horizon of Time and Space

Another Golden Age appears

In Hieroglyphic Grace.

Yellow Self-Existing Sun/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 16

4 Ahau

 

Yellow Self-Existing Sun

  

In a Plenitude of Solitude, I sing –

Throngs of Bougainvillea stretch

Scarlet to the desert Sky –

Birdsong and Sunlight abound

 

Clouds sail by

Stately, serene –

Hummingbirds hover in Tangerine Trees

Lemons hang ponderous –

Bountiful and free –

Gifts from the Goddesses to me.
