elysian impinging
In the sultry skin-hot evening
Selene rose in Her fullness
& Glory beaming
over the desert beach
where the arid sea bore
no wet
Textile worshippers clothed
among us Pagan Witches --
they transgress with sweat
covered thatch & tissue
tumbling over one another
with the grace of a tavern
sop
We will not allow these
Interlopers to spoil our fun
our ritual to our Goddess
No, they will not topple
over our rites
No trampling upon tenets
Selene’s shine and magick
Is near...

Monsters
You must look Medusa in the eyes
and becoming stone, take pity on her
for she was not born, but made a monster
What other choices do the Gods proffer?
By using her ugliness to slay the Kraken
you become hardened in heart as well
Treat her as you would an enemy or friend
but if she is only to be a means to an end
then you have not learned your lesson
and risk losing your pretty little head
to the next Perseus that comes along

UNSPOKEN WORDS
WHEN I SEE YOU"...Here I lay as the sun touches my skin, I rise and open my eyes to see another day of my life. For when I see you, I see life as I'm given life by you, my God, for its because of you, God, that I can dream under the skies and stars. For when I see you, I know it is going to be alright, for you got my back even when I fall down.

For The Fifty
so much the need
before we go
kindness, love
and faith to sow
hate and ignorance
such weight to bear
we'll pray its lost
before we're there
God grant us strength
to tote these loads
let peace our reply
to those with loathe
~Amen~
and when time comes
for us to leave
what greater way
than while on knees
before we go
kindness, love
and faith to sow
hate and ignorance
such weight to bear
we'll pray its lost
before we're there
God grant us strength
to tote these loads
let peace our reply
to those with loathe
~Amen~
and when time comes
for us to leave
what greater way
than while on knees

A Once Too Early Dream Turned Nightmare
Silently in seclusion self imposed
Delusion risks at hand
Flying between the clouds
To make my final stand
A solitary soul parts of one
With scars and wounds bared
Naked to myself too warm to flee
Marching through history Gathering all glory be
The diary of slights written in invisible ink
Takes full flight then lands having turned pink
Blue or black pour out and down
Leaving their stains about my crown
Where is this haven of love and deceit?
Where can I know to avoid its deep stings?
Alas poor soul its...

Untitled pointing to nothing
Standing alone in the surf. Again. Sky is bruised by the endless battle. Changing. Apophis retreats. Nothing. Ra’s spear triumphs. Again.
Silence reigns over all. Rushing. Waters upon waters. Hissing. I bleed. Roaring. I remember. Hushed. I forget. Retreating. Everything.
Everything is music. Raindrops fall.
Make a fist. Tensing. Muscles answer. Growing. Stand out in a circular mound upon my arm. Rising. Veins protrude. Nothing. Forks in rivers of green, beneath translucent shadows of skin. Nothing. Rising like the dawn at my wrist.
Open my...

Rebirth
I remembered who took me
into their dark kingdoms, before
breathing fire among my trees.
They fell branches by the dozen;
grappling with nothing but darkness—
least doom.
As if all had never heard insects’ thoughts.
So, she slept on a stone bed of white
lichens between night and
morning stars; small birds
vanished seeds tenderly
around her light water skirts.
River pockets do moths work; floated
back in better thought—
Earth rose full; at times perfect.
Arranging something...
into their dark kingdoms, before
breathing fire among my trees.
They fell branches by the dozen;
grappling with nothing but darkness—
least doom.
As if all had never heard insects’ thoughts.
So, she slept on a stone bed of white
lichens between night and
morning stars; small birds
vanished seeds tenderly
around her light water skirts.
River pockets do moths work; floated
back in better thought—
Earth rose full; at times perfect.
Arranging something...

Religion is...
only as important
as you want to make it
... it's your life...
it is one more way to relinquish .
... control...
have you ever noticed
how they like to threaten…
...Your Immortal Soul...
they'll try to convince you
...to cede your power away
...to them...
...but not to worry...
they'll tell you what to say...
there will be no decision making for you
there will be no proof offered...
...and none will be forthcoming
there will be no explanation proffered...

Formal request #129 week ending 25th
could you send someone down
to reach into him
and wrench the thing out by it's neck
then burn it between their hands
so it never comes back
back, to take the sharpness from his mind
or to haunt his eyes
or steal the step from his stride
god know's he's earned it
I mean, for the love of Christ
what's wrong with you all up there
he's been on his knees praying every Sunday
even knows your names by heart
or he used to anyway
to reach into him
and wrench the thing out by it's neck
then burn it between their hands
so it never comes back
back, to take the sharpness from his mind
or to haunt his eyes
or steal the step from his stride
god know's he's earned it
I mean, for the love of Christ
what's wrong with you all up there
he's been on his knees praying every Sunday
even knows your names by heart
or he used to anyway
