Waking from a Dream
Waking from a Dream
The feeling
Arises
That everyone
Knows,
Only you
Are still
Stuck
In your dream.
What was
The meaning
Of every new
Nuance,
Is there
Nothing
That's just
As it seems?
You try
To awaken
And shake
Slowly to fury,
But
The fingers
Can't feel
All the same.
And every
Occassion
They smile
In their knowing,
While
Nodding
But avoiding
The game.
It's only
You ...
The feeling
Arises
That everyone
Knows,
Only you
Are still
Stuck
In your dream.
What was
The meaning
Of every new
Nuance,
Is there
Nothing
That's just

To awaken
And shake
Slowly to fury,
But
The fingers
Can't feel
All the same.
And every

But avoiding

Homeric
Oh to live the life Homeric
The earth not walked but strode upon
By heroes gallant and maidens fair
And claim now as in the days bygone
Above common courage, the heroic
Can common clay put on the higher
Break earthly shackles by which we're bound
And will indomitable daring wear
That voice in triumph and glory sound
Rousing others to such hope aspire
That this day should dawn majestic
Beneath brilliant skies or blackened storm
Whether fate or chance, either to dare
And in the malestorm of trial form ...
The earth not walked but strode upon
By heroes gallant and maidens fair
And claim now as in the days bygone
Above common courage, the heroic
Can common clay put on the higher
Break earthly shackles by which we're bound
And will indomitable daring wear
That voice in triumph and glory sound
Rousing others to such hope aspire
That this day should dawn majestic
Beneath brilliant skies or blackened storm
Whether fate or chance, either to dare
And in the malestorm of trial form ...

Imbolc Cleansing
O Brigid, your season has arrived
Bowing to you, Jack Frost retreats
Nature speaks spring language
The first leaves unfurl, seeds sprout
Animals give birth to their offspring
Blessed by your light, o Goddess of
Fertility, the eternal circle of
Birth death and rebirth starts anew
I call upon your guidance, o Brigid
All rooms are prepared and cleaned
The incense sticks are kindled
Now the time has come to
Smudge the house of my soul
I am afraid to face the darker side
Encouraged by your divine light
I open the...

faerie, as far as one can glean
in the undergrowth, beneath the
trees, mythical to some,
unimaginable to others, who state
“it remains to be seen ..”

MY MUSE RESURRECTED ME
My heart was bound
in chains feeling the
pains of losing you.
The attention given
by others didn't heal;
only served as a reminder.
Offers of endless pleasure
by the Nymphs on Erotic
shorelines were futile..
THEN!
OH THEN!
CLIO, the daughter
of Zeus, the
Muse of History; one
of the nine Muses,
came to me in a vision
and beautiful poetry;
with a message of hope..
I came alive as she rang
my doorbell. OMG! MY
Muse resurrected me back
to erotic adventures never
dreamed of. I bow daily...
in chains feeling the
pains of losing you.

noir (a very short story)
she was hotter than a
highjacked snub nose
38 with it's serial numbers
scratched off and more
dangerous than a steamy
back alley and a crooked
deal gone bad on some
late August Baton Rouge
night
...but my oh my!
how she looked in
a black dress and
pearls
and how many good
men went bad for her
with just a wink of her
eye
...the graveyards ain't
snitchin'

The Queen of the Damned
He gave away his fleeting life
For the midnight kiss of spring
The queen of the damned he kissed
On Persephone’s dark rose lips
The kiss of a mortal man
Towards the earth, He drifted up
On the zephyrs of her exhale
Before he reached the ground
The hands of Hades seized him cold
Pulling him down to Hecate
To join the ghosts of Asphodel
Persephone could not forget his lips
His soul she placed inside her palm
She turned him into meadow's hay
And planted his heart inside an oak
Every year the kiss of...

The Rose of Paradise (Cauldron Kill Series)
An abomination of a demonic-angel and hollowed earth
The Rose of Paradise purpose became the healer of nature’s hurt,
“With skin that flows a mercury of flowers and vines
Mysterious mystical energy in her eyes constantly shine,
“The Rose of Paradise natural beauty is godly insane
Along with her touch that can change blood to warm milk or polluted rain,
“All animals in the area will always know when she is near
Coming to her defense if called fighting to the death with no fear,
“Through smells The Rose...

SKY ODESSA
In the Deep Azure Skies"...
Is a hidden sea in disguise
Swimming through are fish birds
"Mermaids Glide Backwards"...
"Smooth Art in Pastels"...
The clouds share their trails
To the creatures secret Sky Odessa
"Lucent's Oceana"...

Ancient Dreams
Ancient Dreams
roses of Ethiopia
blossoming in her cheeks
like ancient Abyssinian gardens
hanging from trellises of moonlight
in the thousand-year night
whose perennial stars
twinkle on the petals of her eyes
where Egyptian mascara
dark as the sheen
of Anubis prowling the midnight hours
on a hunt for lover’s pearls
iridescent as tears from the eye of Ra
that flood the Nile
to silt the fields with fertile dreams
of wheat from heaven
traded with Eritrea
for highland coffee beans
under the warm...

Thing About Saint Patrick's Day
Epic thing about Saint
Patrick's Day is people
trying to catch leprechauns
for their pot of gold.
