Reverse Phoenix (Eagles burn slow)
Don’t shield your eyes now
The art has just begun to spread
The sirens are loud, and the colors are bright
The warmth that you tried to extinguish lives.
Don’t shield your eyes,
Don’t shield them now.
Look at the ashes that dance in the air,
Look at our smiles,
Puke at our freedoms
While we’re drunk off your despair.
Don’t close your eyes,
Your pain is my drug.
I want to feel intoxicated again.
Feed me your lies,...

New years blessings
gnosis where snow flakes flock
sentient ones immortal icicles
may he that speaketh begin
among last fading greens
these three unite as She
Sala Niejta daughter of Sun
Rana Niejta daughter of this fertile earth
Saivo Niejta daughter of the underworlds
stand with me encircled
silver slivers shine
salving breath
ice giants
chasms

once a black moon
a nymph slips
sylph shaded
bearing eyelids
kajal writings
engraved lips
occur opaque
ancestral
I gaze into
sentient
essence
find me
lunar one
among lithium
my Lilith orb
becomes
a lily white
atom
floating

Shamanism
born as Buryat
Mongolia
Siberia
these are the names
forefather foremother gave me
horse shoed donkey eyed
we climbed at times barefoot
arctic lupines teething icicles
slivers silver camouflaged
until mauve mirrors grew
gongs tremble skies
songs sighed
antlers bear hives
Tuvan tongues
snow flaked
we are the only ones
ancient
architects
of
silence

Vetrnaetr, winter nights beginning
once more
I become her
silver silken haired
as she swims turmoil tides
diadems from dew
bend their fragile heads
floating in lunar light
cosmic clams open
blood of my brethren
sea faring
one eyed
as last leaf leaves
from her torso
earth bore
a nameless child
vespers
whisper
vinter
for tonight
my bride
is winter

The Lamp and the Mirror's Midnight Chat
In silence's hush, where shadows play,
a lamp and mirror conversed one day,
their voices whisper, soft and low,
as midnight's stillness let their secrets grow.
Lamp: "Oh, Mirror, reflector of the soul,
what tales you tell, in silvery role.
Do you see joy or sorrow's sway?"
Mirror: "Both, dear Lamp, in endless array."
Lamp: "I light the path, through darkest night,
guiding dreamers, banishing fright.
But do you think, my glow's enough?"
Mirror: "Your radiance, shines steadfast love." ...

giving birth (poetry)
you have
gave birth,
not to
something
new, but
something
old,
you are
the mother,
you are
the father,
each word
is breath,
each line
becomes
age,
now you
place them
out there,
on
their own.

Poem 2: colours of Sol
Tangerine,
sweet.
Bounce and fizzle,
bright.
Excitement and joy,
glamour and sequin- shining like a
star. Gold.
I live for tomorrow,
drink and laugh, happy
just to exist.

Poem 1: colours of Sol
Anger, rage.
Hate,
they cloud the stage.
Blind
fury- shattering glass
and smashing the walls. Slicing open
a vein.
Bleed and scream. I see red.

No
There is nothing more weak
And pathetic
And comic
And dark
As the figure of my father
He is cheap
Like a eaten
Crusped
Apple
And I am his daughter.

Biosemiosis
in nature there is a poem unwritten
conversation had through root systems
about the nature of itself, smitten
with all of life’s pulsing rhythms
the psalm of melodious birdsong
or show of a soulmate dancing along
life as we know it witnesses, each dawn
what is unspoken from mother to fawn
lives entangled together in chaos
words woven upon a bed of damp moss
poetry, a hymn among woodland gods
from forest river to mountain tops
from sun-kissed fields lit up bright
to the dark depths of ocean’s...
