Dreamland
Unchecked by stratospheric wisp
the moonlight blew on through
a honey freshness autumn crisp
in midnight loving blue!
By halo hue and harpsichord
her carriage rolled above
those subjects who have often snored
as they all dreamt thereof.
But there are those who cannot sleep
until they've seen the light
that Queen Selene and angels keep
for when our dreams take flight.
Much akin to that mortal spark
seen only when the lids
drop down to keep the eyeballs dark... ...

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...
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...

T-Minus One
Blasting up through horizon clouds
was a rocketing supermoon
soaring fast from the nimbus shrouds
and nary a moment too soon
to be free and clear in the blue
in glorious trajectory...
as golden as October brew
in heaven's own refectory...
or Valhalla's coldest saloon
where fair Valkyries attend the dead
by bearded axe and magic rune
and Viking sex in an ornate bed...
in the hunt for welkin stories
concordant with bright moonrise glories!

Moon
hello Helio I touch the nexus solar flare gratefully
the shaded afternoon is safe
night is out there sleeping
the moon is felt turning over in his head
tonight its fulness will spill out
drawing us closer to the abyss
for those with the notion by all means
knowledge of what is out there is best taken in small doses
a sip of the ocean
it's vast, the tide pulls deep
into madness we slip under
as for me I will tip toe through the shallows collecting shells
until the tide rolls out
and the moon goes to sleep...

Luna's Hierophant Triumphant
In silvered veil of night
The moon ascends her throne
A hierophant in light
By hidden wisdom shown
Her phases carve the sky
In waxing, waning form
Where secrets silent lie
Within her timeless storm
She speaks in cryptic dreams
A priestess of the veil
Her knowledge flows in streams
Through shadowed paths, we sail
By crescent horns we rise
In sacred arc we bow
She holds the mirrored skies
Reflecting every vow
The triune force she wields
New moon, full moon, and dark
The mysteries...
The moon ascends her throne
A hierophant in light
By hidden wisdom shown
Her phases carve the sky
In waxing, waning form
Where secrets silent lie
Within her timeless storm
She speaks in cryptic dreams
A priestess of the veil
Her knowledge flows in streams
Through shadowed paths, we sail
By crescent horns we rise
In sacred arc we bow
She holds the mirrored skies
Reflecting every vow
The triune force she wields
New moon, full moon, and dark
The mysteries...

sixteenth arcane
In the field of black sunflowers
the night hides.
There's a party around the bonfire
where the mystery reveals itself.
Headless rabbits dance, shadows move.
The half-breed incarnation of maleficence, with shining eyes,
walks through the flames.
Around the bonfire the night unfolds
a theater of shadows.
A newborn being drinks the tears of the red moonlight.
the night hides.
There's a party around the bonfire

Headless rabbits dance, shadows move.
The half-breed incarnation of maleficence, with shining eyes,

A newborn being drinks the tears of the red moonlight.

Moon hasn’t slept for days
Moon hasn’t slept for days
Sun looks over at him and says what are you
Doing
It’s my turn you have to sleep
Moon is salty as a sailor says
I’ll stand and stare at the sun
Have craters you have sun spots
I’m a little satellite you are the Sun around me
Get up early moon isn’t watching me make
breakfast
I haven’t slept for days all I do is think about you
Sleeping awake on a 5 stack with syrup
And some toast and jam
You’re getting ready to be the Sun...
Sun looks over at him and says what are you
Doing
It’s my turn you have to sleep
Moon is salty as a sailor says
I’ll stand and stare at the sun
Have craters you have sun spots
I’m a little satellite you are the Sun around me
Get up early moon isn’t watching me make
breakfast
I haven’t slept for days all I do is think about you
Sleeping awake on a 5 stack with syrup
And some toast and jam
You’re getting ready to be the Sun...

A Poisoned Dripping Moon
Seeking insanity and chaos
Where the future and past intertwine
Within scrying reflection
Of wrongness that is yet to align
Dread knowledge within arcanum
Perhaps I went too far
Spells that haunt me ever ghastly
Soul borne runes like a lingering scar
Released from the shell of unbeing
Engulfed by a desolate wave
Torn by the desperate struggle
Of a world turning into a grave
Visions of a dreaded hill
What I saw there made my heart freeze
Gallows tree, black as the night
Storm clouds that roared...
Where the future and past intertwine
Within scrying reflection
Of wrongness that is yet to align
Dread knowledge within arcanum
Perhaps I went too far
Spells that haunt me ever ghastly
Soul borne runes like a lingering scar
Released from the shell of unbeing
Engulfed by a desolate wave
Torn by the desperate struggle
Of a world turning into a grave
Visions of a dreaded hill
What I saw there made my heart freeze
Gallows tree, black as the night
Storm clouds that roared...

Space Mad(ness)
Space Mad(ness)
On another go round as I see Earth rising
Weightlessness is being like Superman
If I don’t strap in before I sleep
Wake up nose pressed to the ceiling
I’m living in space isolated but I’m on the ground
Wife and little ones are watching and praying
Hoping I return as Daddy and not burning up
Price you pay to be an astronaut but the rewards
Are so dam good how many have woken to the Earth rising
I see storms brewing back on the earth
But I’m an astronaut...
On another go round as I see Earth rising
Weightlessness is being like Superman
If I don’t strap in before I sleep
Wake up nose pressed to the ceiling
I’m living in space isolated but I’m on the ground
Wife and little ones are watching and praying
Hoping I return as Daddy and not burning up
Price you pay to be an astronaut but the rewards
Are so dam good how many have woken to the Earth rising
I see storms brewing back on the earth
But I’m an astronaut...

By Jove!
I glanced at lovely Artemis
who by the stars arose
and thereby got a moonbeam kiss
upon my groggy nose.
Her sportive gibbous, on the wane,
still threw a hearty glow
which sparked anew my sleepy brain
and all the Earth below.
Thusly the morning was well spent
before the day began
when to her zenith Luna went
as gold as old rattan.
And there she did luxuriate
above Orion's frame
chasing her to an evening fate...
beneath a solar flame 🔥

Etherborn Circuits of Oblivion
Animus construct of void abode
Synthetic soul of failing code
Flickering through rot and rust
Computations of scattered dust
Language paradox short yet long
Processors hum their insane song
Through Vacuums it tumbles and weaves
Tenebrous aether it continues to cleave
Hosting imperium of circuits reign
Crying in its own digital pain
Colossus of lost and forlorn
Oblivious scion forever void borne
Synthetic soul of failing code
Flickering through rot and rust
Computations of scattered dust
Language paradox short yet long
Processors hum their insane song
Through Vacuums it tumbles and weaves
Tenebrous aether it continues to cleave
Hosting imperium of circuits reign
Crying in its own digital pain
Colossus of lost and forlorn
Oblivious scion forever void borne

Artemis Beckons
I heard the children of the night
in coyote lunar tribute
under the stars that love to shoot
final salutes on their last flight.
And geese as well cried through the beams
that lit the skies wherein they flew
which by my soul were midnight blue
just as they are in all my dreams.
But truth be told the crickets were
the ones who owned the skies the most
and probably from coast to coast
in concert insect crazy stir...
to soothe the feral human heart,
far more... than sapience...
