Pleiadian Skies

 


Pleiadian Skies

Pleiadian skies beryl and white,
an ocean of stars a glow,
pouring over the mountain tops,
to streams and rivers below.

Rumors from the Attica Flutes


Rumors from the Attica Flutes

There’s a storm of fire gone unseen
hidden behind the shadow’s screen;
right here on this planet earth
the place that holds what we are worth.
An anxious and a sinful place,
controlled and made by human race,
where every greedy thought takes root
and made a unit of law to boot.

Where Attica flutes of hades sing
those sour notes of cutting strings
that swallow all the gods through fear
in cyber orbit above this sphere.

Such iron bars do now unfold,
with Cerberus guard dogs that they hold,
that fiber optic censored glow
invoking AI storms below.

About this Poem: Inspired by a Henry David Thoreau poem called,

“Rumors From An Aeolian Harp”


The Morning Veil

The Morning Veil

Sun breaks through the morning veil
bathes the flowers in golden hale,
florets rise with arms outstretched
embrace their God of life and death.

Rising higher, to mountain row
radiant praise, essence aglow
sunflowers sing their glorious tune,
a cycle of life, by sun and moon.

There they stay until sun goes down
hushed to sleep on silver ground,
bathe in moon beams, dew and rain
and wait for God to come again.

Wolf Spirit

 


Wolf Spirit

Rhythm of drums brought the fog
consciousness of the wolf,
summoned spirit of the warrior
he chooses who he comes to see,
for bravery, courage and resilience
are the words he speaks.

Waiting

 


Waiting

Comfort shades brown peering eyes,
there amongst the scent of birch.
Hidden under greying skies
and autumn leaves upon a perch.

Snug and safe from hunter’s game
but ready should the need arise,
to tap into his sturdy frame,
despite the smallness of his size.

A quickened pulse then in his chest
as trappers near, he holds his breath.
Lessons learned now put to test,
one false move could be his death.

There inside he sees it all,
traps are set amongst the grass.
Plans a route to warren hall,
waits until the hunter’s pass.

Silence reigns as sun goes down
a calm return to forest dome
to then emerge from underground
seeking comfort of his home.

The Ancient Forge of Magic Rings


 

The Ancient Forge of Magic Rings

Celestial fires washed away
the golden age of Argonauts
where magic things long forgotten
remain but ashes of old thoughts.

I stood in wonder, mesmerized
in the cave I had discovered.
An ancient place deep underground
with artifacts I recovered.

Beryllium rings, crowned with stones
of ruby and blue sapphire,
for kings and queens and overlords,
that were forged by dragon’s fire.

Twelve magic bands with scrolls attached
concealed in a granite box
with embossed designs in ancient tongue
on layered metamorphic rock.

I stumbled on this hidden place
that was filled with bygone things
in the Monteregian mountains
the ancient forge of magic rings.

The Phoenix Moon

 


The Phoenix Moon

When the phoenix moon rises
and bald eagle takes wing
the timber wolf howls
and mountain fires spring,
Aphrodite will return,
heaven will once again sing
covering earth in warmth
and renewal it will bring.

He Who Walks a Different Path

 


He Who Walks a Different Path

Beneath the mountains and the strath
came, he who walks a different path
a gentle being of Mohawk mind
who felt for others and was kind.

Yet from his village he did roam
into the forest he called home
he talked to birds of every girth
all the creatures that walked the earth.

The bond that grew made them his friends
an understanding with amends
a mortal conscious bond and call
with promise to protect them all.

One day his world was set aflame
when hunters of the village came
and took his closest conscious friend
his grief and anger would not mend.

He believed all life was deserving
sentient life was worth preserving
so, when the hunters came that day
he told his friends to run away.

The starving hunters soon caught on
when all their prey had left and gone
chased, he who walks a different path
into the mountains with their wrath.

Up at the top, with feelings grim
where just the clouds could visit him
there were no creatures, and few birds
when sadness came and took his words.

He felt alone, began to pray
asked God to take his grief away
upon the highest mountain range
his body then began to change.

Creator blessed him for staying true
to purpose he was tasked to do
the given task when he was born
God changed him then from human form.

A golden eagle then took the skies
with soaring spirit and conscious eyes
above the mountains and the strath
flew, he who walks a different path.

Fall of the EU

 

Fall of the E.U.

Bit by bit the E.U. fell,
just couldn't shake that hubris spell.
So strong together, such a farce
gone shot themselves in the arse.

That's quite alright, because you can vote
for candidates shoved down your throat.
All little demons of the WEF;
to people’s needs they’re blind and deaf.

They cut your gas and cut your oil
while agriculture rots and spoils
under rainbow flags of ascension,
you’ll never get that promised pension.

Forced into debt without delay
each nation labeled as the prey.
Sanctions placed on those defiant
till vassal states become compliant.

"Gimme, gimme", Ukraine needs more,
that little scavenger makes you poor.
Boil, bubble, inflation trouble,
you’re eating less, while rents are double.

So don’t complain as cities burn,
you voted for that beasts return,
with leeches given final say,
on sovereignty they’ve washed away.

The Northern Kingdom

 



The Northern Kingdom

The northern kingdom welcomed me
when I stood there in its morning glow
with arching limbs of forest trees
adorned with winters finest snow.

A crystal sea of ivory,
a gemstone treasure of the north
lay before astonished me
enticed my yearning to wander forth.
