​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

​The Tempest That Was Calypso Writhing in Her Coiled Chaos 
 
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
