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.

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
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.

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 the Pollen---
Bearing Stamen
Symbol of Truth
Grace embodied---
Flower of the dreaming Fields
Marker
Of Ritual and Rite---
Regal---majestic
Lily-white.

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
Peace Moves
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.
