An Ode to Stonehenge
In an age a long time ago was built this circle of hell
Here they stand stone next to stone, nobody knows their true power
This was a place where magicians work
On an altar they practiced their cult
With the power of words, they changed the four elements
Fire - Water - Air and Earth - defeated me and be my slave
See my hands and feel the strength - obey my might, obey my will
No one knows what it really can be, also today the legend still lives
They are only signs of a time, where other laws exist on this earth
In the south of England...

Remembering Beginnings and Origins
Transported to a place
Before time
After space
A voice rises from the deep
A song in the present
From the ancient past
Calls to the human spirit
You can hear the soul speak
Communing with ancestors
A language that transcends the ages of man
A recollection of past lives
Remembering beginnings and origins
The ways of the past have not really been forgotten
You can hear it in the beat of the drum
In strings
In chords
Without words
You feel it
Like magic
Releasing its power through music

relic
drawing from the energy I expand my sights
viewing the darkness with tunnel vision
maddening thoughts assault
but I must face it it's going nowhere
dealing in deadly blows
it comes at me with force
I balk under the pressure
retreating for a moment
the sound is deafening
my thoughts scream
inside myself I rise
to stand against the giant
immortal power, thwarted passage
it won't get by me without notice
evil demeanor, wicked justice
scrying the damned
fickle fate I keen in the bleak ...

Broken-record
I.
I wish I was a Witch
imbued through grace
beget by the knowledge of Truth
to combat ignorance
I'd proudly proclaim the title
bowing to Mother Nature
for gifting me the moniker
of so brave the women
—maiden, mother, and crone—
who suffered under religiosity
from pointy fingers
and judgmental tongues
condemning them to death

The Thrill of Art and Vision
Cardboard
Got a number 5
All it needs is original art
A box head or 2
Minimalistic
Just enough for a laugh
Bukowski might give a nod
Drink a few beers
Tease the art world
When I stopped trying to sell paintings
Relevance spun a tale of glory
Me
Myself
Artist
Finally made it
No deposit
No return
Free at last …

Unwitched
Ablaze bewitching conjurers dance.
Enchantment flames gather, hex ignite.

Incantations
Veiled, she sweeps back into view.
Conjured from thaumaturgist nights
the new moon in the old moon's lieu
has crescent gold for her last rites,
though lingering is not allowed
when her orbit has dates to keep,
behind clear skies, or cryptic cloud,
conducive to Morphean creep,
slowly...slewing...into...a...DREAM....
where sunlight off high castles bounce
into a laudanum lunar beam
and crater dragons lurk and pounce
in druidic charms of making...
another spell of love...awaking!

Mother Star (a tarot poem)
Mother Star
Courage and change
is what you needed all along
the future has found you
embrace it
...
10 of Cups
This is what's important
it makes them happy
to see you smile
spirits lifted out of the darkness
you've been living in
You aren't alone
you've never been alone
there are so many
outstretched hands to hold

4 of Swords
Anxiety is real
remember to breathe
this fear doesn't need to rule...

Have We Remembered
Have we remembered the Cross quarter festivals
As Imbolc past
The threshold of spring
Bright and sunny was ill omened
Cloudy and dark bode well
And presaged soon planting
Did we step out of the world and into the present
To honor the conjunction of place and time
The blackthorns of Cailleach are blooming
The lambing time's come
And the milking of ewes
Make preparations for sowing
Before the calving begins
Have twigs of rowen been placed
In barns and above doorways ...

My Name
Burning dark clouds,
fallen embers burn through night sky,
I am Mastema, the Veiled One,
Concealed out of sight,
Echo's of rebellion prophesied with fate,
A darkened mirror for the proud,
the serpent-tongued lure,
Creeps within our essence,
Heart's ambition lies tangled.
Fire and fallen gods,
Call me Melek Taus,
A feathered figure,
Draped in midnights robes of a starless black sky,
A black hole in a negative space,
Fires of souls burning
flickering in the night,
casting long shadows, ...

Dawns eyes...
distance waking
child of today
ending grotesque
fantasies.
Skeletons settle...
reentering subconscious
wombs waiting
to be born again.
We call them dreams.
