10 Ahau
Yellow Planetary Sun
A 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---
Alters Space and Time
Adds Dimension More
Feeling to a Phrase
Rounding out Reality
Fashioning Past and Future
Into Here and Now---
Transforming Promise
Into Vow.

9 Cauac
Blue Solar Storm
My Heart is closed for Repairs---
Out to Lunch
Shut down
Boarded up against you
You refuse to give to
Starving Subway Seekers---
To me you give few Words
Weak Affection
A Pittance of Attention
Therefore I retreat---
Withdraw and free myself
From this Neglect
Until further Notice---
My Heart is closed for Repairs.

White Galactic Mirror
Against green Vines
Violet Thistle blooms
Needle Pines grow
Near white Seafoam
Monarch sails on
Orange and black
From Chrysalis
To Continents
Sipping syrup sweet---
Soaring into Flight
In Vibrant Contrast---
Wingèd Light.

7 Caban
Red Resonant Earth
I set down
A Ring of Fire---
The Bone
The Feather and the
Cone
My Territory mark
I lay in waiting---
Still---until
You crossed
The confines of
My Heart---
The Ring of my
Wondering
The Ring of my
Wandering
You braved the Flaming
Limits
Of my Rage
My Childhood died---
Fear fell as well
When true Love spoke
You broke the Spell.

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!

5 Men
Blue Overtone Eagle
Song of Persephone*
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 low
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 gold
Chariot
You came for me
inevitably---
Now I am Queen of
the Underworld
Now I am Priestess
of Mystery---
When Innocence is
Violence bound
Then a Maiden's lost---
And there a Myth is
found.
* As Demeter's daughter, Persephone is abducted by Hades, Lord of the Underworld, and forced to stay with him for four
months of the year.

4 Ix
White Self-Existing
Wizard
Now the wounded Heart
Breaks open---broken
Into Soul’s sweet 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!

Language beyond Language---
Silent Sound
Subtle Music
Knowledge beyond Knowledge---
Certainty---
Despite Illusion
Space beyond Space---
Amazing Beauty
Peace and Grace
Time beyond Time---
Eternity flirts and lifts her Skirts---
Souls unite in Joy
Measure beyond Measure---
Mark the Love I feel
Love unfailing---brave and bold---
Treasure beyond Treasure
Invaluable---inviolate
The cosmic Center of the Soul.

2 Eb
Yellow Lunar Human
It was an August Moon that wed us---
Led us far beyond the Night
A billion Stars were Witness with
An incandescent Light
This lunar Lamplight cast a Spell---
We traveled through an Aureole
Into a secret dreaming Place
Held close in sweet Embrace
Down an Aisle’s liquescent Silver
Beneath the Moon’s quiescent Ride
The Ocean sent us where no Sound
lives
Save the Murmur of the Tide.

1 Chuen
Blue Magnetic Monkey
Sonnet VI
Thy Laughter is the Rush of Angel Wings
Thy Smile like the Sun on the Horizon
One Call from Thee and my Heart
fairly sings
I pray the Songs and Words will ne’er
be done
I see in Thee a Diamond Star at Night
Lending all its luster to a black Sky
Forever brought from Darkness into
Light
By Faith so perfect in its Alibi
I know and trust that you do love me
well
For never did a Kiss reveal so much
In its magnetic Pull and tidal Swell
To realms of Peace I flew with one
fine Touch
May Heaven bless this Union wondrous
fair
That none could ever separate this Pair.
