A Voyage to Hell
When my sun comes down
a blood red cosmos astounds
i appear with winter's wind
I'm free as summer's sin
sing a song this mourning
telling tales of warning
purple clouds, demon bubbles
cosmic dreams, strangers in trouble
to die is to wake at the strike of twelve
he welcomes us all to the gates of hell
a blood red cosmos astounds
i appear with winter's wind
I'm free as summer's sin
sing a song this mourning
telling tales of warning
purple clouds, demon bubbles
cosmic dreams, strangers in trouble
to die is to wake at the strike of twelve
he welcomes us all to the gates of hell

irresistible computation an equation
sly joker triggers grade
daggers of faith needy nation
sacrifice of sustenance
the blood of space generates a new race
metaphor for DNA
areas of grey tempter of men
silken sage with the will of ten
liken to the redwood
the mighty trees of time
seeing through eyes, not of this realm
even a book remembers being a tree
fast or slow the knowledge will remain
to lie down upon open minds
it is with cause we elevate
alleviate the hunger to see through the...

NEOWISE
Last time you made a visit
was our dawn
Just learning
to scatter seeds into soil
to gather into settlements
to scratch our thoughts into stone...
To be "civilized"
Look at us now as you pass by again --
Billions of tiny
insignificant lives
still scrabbling in the dirt
gathering in our tribes
wrting thoughts with our thumbs now
but none of them new....
Have we developed
in any of the ways that count?
Come check on us again
in another 6,000 years
Maybe then we'll have it
figured out
was our dawn

Betelgeuse Orion
There’s a certain quirkiness about quarks
Those particles that are part of every atom
Smaller than what we can identify as small
At the core of all things we could possibly ever fathom
And yet when put together along with other elements
They seem to be the creative factor and driving force
From big stars
to violent worlds
and everything between
Quarks are the smallest beings in the universe

~nowadays: dandelions and the dog of time
1.
the delicately hardened
strawy hued dry achenes
had set their route..
unknown
unpredictable..
wind steers
their destiny..
freely parachuting
long to shores unknown..
as they land.. just only their heady
basal seed remains .. losing their
angelic wings .. that had swam
through the wild uproarious airs
2.
she- the apartment dwelling
beautiful...

Her Grace
Luna! Luna! Beyond the geese!
Shining like an Argonaut fleece!
Consort to the Royal power
of sunbeams at the midnight hour!
Transfixer of our mortal eyes
upon Memento Mori skies!
Syzygy Mistress of the tides
and all the waves a surfer rides!
Cratered gem within the rings
of coronal mass ejection flings!
Fair courtesan of meteorites,
comet tails, and satellites!
Navigatrix through the spiral path
of solar flares and stellar wrath.
Majestic Queen of sonneteers!
May you hold...

Scape made in shape

Pulsating
Shapeless,

Stillness of will,

Expansion
Pyre of nothingness -
Higher than all of this,
Brighter than being,
Clearer than seeing.

Formulate the feeling

Portuguese man-o-war
Who are we, lost in the vastness?
Sailing on seas without a compass.
From the first moment, the first breath.
In a labyrinth of doubts and shadows.
Wandering souls in search of meaning.
We cling to the intangible.
Desperate for answers,
in an indifferent and silent world.
Days drag on and nights collapse
in a relentless cycle of uncertainty.
We scream into the void, crying out for direction
but the echo is all that returns to us.
Heavy hearts and exhausted minds.
We walk among the ruins of...

Decem
The Queen’s Tarot (Decem) The name, “December” itself comes from the Latin word decem, meaning “ten,” as it was the tenth month in the ancient Roman calendar.
However, no specific Roman person or deity was named after December, I was a little surprised all the zodiacs I have thoroughly researched.
I have gathered all the Zodiacs, and even some of the Calendar Days were named after some Roman God, Goddess, or some form of Roman festive event.
The month December did retain its numerical origin even after the calendar was...

we make new names for old Gods
The evening sky blushes through my window
between twilight and darkness we lie, looking out
waiting for the stars through the
leafy silhouettes of palm tress
I try to teach you all the names
of the creeping constellations
but you make up your own
giggling into the deepening sky
We are so small under the burning tendrils of light
and so blessed to see them, and name them at all
between twilight and darkness we lie, looking out
waiting for the stars through the

I try to teach you all the names
of the creeping constellations
but you make up your own

Temporal Space
Behind Uranus
I shall cast my shadow;
breathing room You gain.
Jumping around to Neptune
thinking acreage
remains the same.
Creeping ‘mong Saturn’s
rings
temporal space You keep.
Hopping ‘hind Jupiter’s
moons
my love You’ll get to reap.
Hitching a ride on Halley’s Comet
on to Mercury, I land.
Working out problems on
Your summit
on to Venus I descend.
When your life’s in place
and all is understood. . .
On to Mars, as fast as
I should.

Saturn Through a Telescope
Saturn through a telescope
is bite sized,
like something you could scoop up from a bowl
with a spoon
Saturn's rings through a telescope
look like a little Hula hoop
or like the part of a plastic Saturn toy
a toddler would grip
Saturn through a low-powered telescope
does a bit of a hula itself
before coming into view
But then there it is.
As you peer into the telescope,
it's a portal to a two dimensional object
But for some
its a portal
to questions that form at the speed of light. ...
