​The Northern Crown
 
Corona Borealis amidst the glittering symbols of the sky
Forged by goldsmith Hephaestus, God of fire
Jeweled crown of Princess Ariadne of Crete
Studded with Vedic gems
Intoxicating botanic garland of flowers
Diadem with a heady fragrance
Charm Chief Polaris down from the heavens to dance on earth
And summon a council of celestial elders to consider matters of existence
Dispense messages to the Gods from The Mistress of the Labyrinth
She is the Star Goddess of Reincarnation
Under a Celtic Sky
Hypnotized in the bewildering maze-like Revolving Castle
Working Theseus’s ball of string with her wheel
She magically knits the tapestry of life, weaver of cosmic time and fate
As malleable as precious gold
The luminous crown of Ariadne glides
Guided by Arianrhod’s spectral silver wheel
Feel her power and grace amongst the stars
Patiently waiting for us to rediscover her

​The Sailing Queen’s Daughters
 
Salt encrusted Oceanid nymph of Mount Cyllene 
Grecian κόρη of southern Hellas
Pleione
Spirit of nature
Consort to Atlas
Bearing seven saline spiced daughters, companions of Artemis
Pleiades, protectors of the natural world
Briny Samaritans of the sea
Immortalized by Zeus
Catasterismi records the Nereid sisters embossed into the heavens
Pursued in the West across the night sky fleeing the mighty Orion
Seven doves translated into a constellation of winter stars navigate seafarers from misfortune

​Call me a constellation
 
Born of fire, a survivor in the night
I come alive under the darkest skies
Connect the stars…
Stellar direction on an undulating druzaic path
Lunar reflections punctuated by meteoric columns of infinite light
Call me a constellation, culminating in breathless pillows of melancholic silence
Perhaps stars aren’t meant to be reached…
Maybe they are just there to light up the darkness of the night

​The Tempest That Was Calypso Writhing in Her Coiled Chaos 
 
Concealer of knowledge
Wily enchantress of Ogygia
Calling forth a thundering
Righteous path of destruction
Reeling round and round
 
An ocean of storming clouds spirals within me
Tattered souls, pieces of promises
A crippled heart, futures shattered
Calypso will consume you then throw you to the ground

​​Archipelago of Phantasmic Luminosity
 
Along the granular reefs spiny sea urchins creep in companionship with celestially aqueous entities.
Otherworldly collections gather and populate these ethereal islands sprinkled in a body of congealed nectar.
Galvanic coral ledges shelter volcanic mysteries requiring ciphers to unravel the fiery labyrinth.

​Igneous Apiary: Enlightenment Through the Gilded Monarch
 
Aurelian helmets of gold lumber along betwixt perverse sylvan societies
Once a promiscuous blossom tender
Dusted with flirtatious flower spice
Regal in your golden glory, rich in verdant pleasures
Now build your cells, spread your wax among these apocryphal surroundings
A lavish counterfeit existence fabricated
​                                                   to cultivate the confectionery you concoct 
An unfortunate saccharine assault of your healing honeycomb

​Residents of the Oort Cloud
 
Trans-Neptunian Objects
 
Rouge entity in vacant primal skies
Debris disc beyond the Kuiper Belt
Blacker than a hundred midnights
Spherical champion of light
 
Spectral mists across your dark icy shell waft
The stars were clustered about my head
And the earth was under your feet
 
Clouded with cometary fragments I find that the endless dark spaces between the stars have to mean something

Analog Rhythm in Glitch Reverberations
 
a sudden suffering
ERROR
…hopefully temporary
unusual malfunction
unforeseen irregularity
 
disruption of a signal
symmetrical symphony, undone 
is it an accidental error or intentional...?
echoes of calculated corruption
time to decipher the digital dissolution
 
a beautiful illusion
foiled attempts to calibrate the fragmented abacus 
fabricates an incongruent condition
 
dispatch manipulated electronic devices
only to broadcast a signal representational of some other time
some other place 
 
errors for an aesthetic purpose

​Druzy Wintertide Realm
 
Wild men rage against the dying day
A patulous mist cloaks the bones of our bejeweled earth
Veiling twilight laden with frozen vapors descends
Soft winds swirl collecting crystals
Farewell say the roads as quiet stillness envelops
Clocks ice over and time slows
 
The darkling Faerie Queen wanders wistfully in the dead of night 
Aeons of majesty, royal rubies run through imperial veins
Her druzy eyes glisten like iridescent amethyst  
She wishes on stars in the wintery opaline skies
Lavender quartz sparkles in the moon glow 
While snow is falling and playing with the light
 
The scythe of hopelessness strokes her heart
A specter coalesces atop the aubergine crust
Eyes lock amidst an indigo glimmer
She was haunted by his voice in a dream
Melancholic tears of sapphire blue
Blossom as Forget-Me-Nots freshly new

​Netherworld for the Servant Heart
 
Paradise buried in the dust of a broken-hearted person’s love
 
I don’t know who I am
So how I am supposed to know what I want
I take shelter in that pain
 
The hellfire didn’t stop me from recognizing your soul
​                                                                         the moment your eyes met mine 
I welcome the decline of the day as the vesper bell tolls
The lugubrious underworld embraces
Everyone is a ghost around me 
A gray eyed romantic who gives over to the shadows with frightful ease 
I had too much to dream last night
 
They were playing our song 
Looking in your eyes felt like flying
I’m much more me when I’m with you even if it was only an illusion
A delicious delusion 
Have you ever left your heart somewhere you know you will never get it back?
 
Too many nights I dance with tears in my eyes
I’m all choked up and I can’t find the words 
Maybe I’m a lost cause
 
You haunt my mind when I don’t know where my life should go
