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 Vine
Violet Thistles bloom
Needle Pines grow
Near blue Seafoam
Monarch sails in
Orange and black
From Chrysalis
To Continents
Sip syrup sweet---
Then soar in Flight
Vibrant Contrast---
Wingèd Light.

7 Caban
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.

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
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 is a Maiden
lost –
And there a Myth is
found.
*Persephone is Demeter’s daughter,
abducted by Hades, Lord of the Underworld, and forced to stay with him for four
months of the year.

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

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