2 Cauac
Blue Lunar Storm
I sacrificed the Sacrifice---
My Womb removed---never tried
Am I Virgin now
Or just worth Less?
I hear a distant Symphony
A Hymn of String and Drum---
I abide on the metaphysical Side
Full of wild Life---
A swirling whirling
Stormy Sea of Poetry
This is my Rebirth
And my Becoming----
My Atonement and Salvation
Raison d’étre and Redemption.

White Magnetic
Mirror
There is an Ocean by the Highlands---
Second largest in the World
She ebbs and flows with Tides eternal
Reaching out with Waves unfurled
There is an Ocean by the Highlands---
Atlantic she is called in our own
Tongue
Yet she does sing in Tongues
unnumbered
Songs for every Land and Old and
Young
There is an Ocean by the Highlands---
Laughing with the dancing Stars of
Night
She captures all celestial Beams and
Planets
Within her endless Lattices of Light
There is an Ocean by the Highlands
Kissing all the Shells upon the Shore---
She stretches salty Arms around her
Islands
As if to say she could not love them
more
There is an Ocean by the Highlands
Between two Continents does she sit---
Protecting all that lives beneath her
Surface
Bearing to her Ports each noble Ship
There is an Ocean by the Highlands
She is the Stuff of Life and Lore---
She beckons all with Swells unceasing
As did Poseidon for fair Athena roar.

13 Caban
Red Cosmic Earth
The blushing Earth
Retires
From Sun’s fierce Eye
At Dusk---
She spins through
Every Day and Night
Navigating a rhythmic
Parity of Seasons---
Patiently she organizes
Synchronic Evolution
Empowered by
The Universal Fire
Of Endurance
Under the birthing Power
Of the first Magnetic Moon.

Yellow Crystal
Warrior
One need not travel far to Dreamland---
Let the Thread unwind
To the Bottom of the Deep---
Close your Eyes … untie the Knot
And fall asleep
The Weaver will awaken
When you are unaware---
Intertwining Dreams through
Layered Realms of Slumber
Keep close these Shades remembered
Disjointed---vague---dismembered---
Starry Robes of Hypnos
Strewn with Sign and Symbol
Take the magic Carpet’s Flight
To the Markers and the Making---
The sleeping and the waking
Tapestry and Language of the Night.

Blue Spectral Eagle
When I hear your
Voice
I hear the Bells
I always have
I always will
One Bell signals
Happiness
A Heart fulfilled
and blessed---
The second rings
with Joy---
The Song of a
barefoot Boy
Then Exhilaration do
I hear
And feel when you’re
with me
Finally, the chime
of Ecstasy---
The Bliss of a Soul
set free.

10 Ix
White Planetary Wizard
Song of Aaron
I will arise now
And fly unto Aaron---
Fly to my Love
In the desert night Air
Purple Grapes will I bring
To feed him and Figs---
Under a pale Moon
In the desert night Sky
For him will I dance
Be-jeweled and Kohl-eyed---
Entrance him will I
In the perfumed night Air
I will anoint him
With Oils exotic
Soothing his Heart
In the sweet desert Air---
Unto Aaron I fly---
Under sparkling Stars
With Roses in my Hair
Through the Desert night Air
I will read to him Verses
From the Poet’s wild Heart
Enchant him will I
'Neath a dark Desert Sky
Music drifts down---
Melodies sacred
Liquid and rare
On the desert night Air
Aaron, my Priest---
Prince of the Desert
Aaron, my Almond Branch---
Strong, wise, and fair
Aaron, my Priest---
Prince of the desert
Aaron, my Almond Branch
Strong, wise, and fair.

Red Solar Skywalker
Sonnet III to N. Mandela
The Mind beyond all
Measure Power holds
Thoughts send us
into Heaven or to Hell
One long enclosed in
Bars of Iron cold
When dreaming full
escapes his prison Cell
Whence exists our
Paradise eternal
Where Time and Space
lose all significance?
In transmuting Thoughts
of Dread infernal
Into Devotion’s
transcendental Dance
Worth more is
Vigilance than Sacrifice
Pre-requisite to
Life miraculous
Avoid all Fear while curbing Avarice
Thus, will the Cosmos
all your Missions bless
Dreams manifest in
Synchronicity
When sacred Time
designs Reality.

8 Eb
Yellow Galactic
Human
Long before…
Before, I was a Human Being
I was just a Human Doing
Being just a Doing
Moved me to Despair---
In this State, I met Inmates
All of us sad---all of us desperate
Squirrels in a Cage---
Rats in a Maze
I knew not what to be or do---
How to escape---where to go
Finally surrendering All that I did
I went where I truly lived---
Mind and Body are merely Tools
To build a Being worthy
Of building a Being of Soul!
Mind and Body make no Case---
Lock, Stock, and Barrel
I move into Grace!

7 Chuen
Blue Resonant Monkey
Wherefore in the Center
When Primary
Becomes its Opposite---
Here lives Hecate
She of the Power of Words----
Spirit of Crossroads
Deity of Intersections
Wise Woman Archetype
Three-Kingdom’d Queen
Fairy Mother God---
Here Crucifixion lives---
The Cross of Third Dimension---
An Illusion of limited Souls---
Body electric becomes
Alchemical Alembic----
Water and Fire
Become Go(l)d
Resurrection supplants Death
Ascension signifies Hecate---
Divinity within
Denied, defamed, and Herself---
Crucified.

6 Oc
White Rhythmic Dog
I am conquered--
Shorn of Pride and
Prejudice
I am lost--
My Heart flees from
my Breast
I am thine---
And thus, cannot be
lonely
My Thoughts would
never rest
But rest upon Thee
only---
I am found---
And love the Feeling
well
I am bound---
By Bonds so Heavenly
For Heaven it is to
greet thee
And Hell it is to
leave
Thou art strong in
Word and Deed
Yet gentle in thy
Need
My Soul calls unto
thee
In Poems wild and
sweet
The Rhymes and
Couplets meet
To keep us Company---
Else I could not
live
‘Til you return to
me.

Red Overtone Moon
If only I could heal
each Wound you own
And mend the Places
where your Soul is torn
A silver Moonbeam I
would sculpt and hone
That it might pierce
the hardest Heart e’er born
A golden ray of Sunlight
will I use
To thread my Quill
with soothing Thoughts and Care
Every Rift and Ravel
you will lose
To perfect Suture---excellent
Repair
But Time alone has Tools
to fare so well---
In my Power I do
presume too much
Wishing that in
wishing itself could dwell
A Magic only Angels
use and touch.
My hope is that a
perfect Love and Time
Transform all Pain into Peace sublime.
