"Even after all this time,
the sun never says to the earth,"You owe me."
Look what happens with a love like that.
It lights the whole sky."

If you want peace, seek the place where religion has no name, and God has many.

Unnamed study in violet contentment # 1

When my eyes are closed
I see your face.
It's your voice I hear
Whispering softly in my head,
Those last imperceptible seconds
Before sleep takes over me.

Sweet singing seraphim
Caress me with your libretto.
I long to have insight
Into what your heart longs for.
Come to my side,
We could seek it together.

In the quietude of my mind
You are ever present.
Attempting to elsewhere occupy my thoughts
Is met with swift resistance from my psyche,
So there shall you linger
In the recesses of my meditation.
Veritably, I smile, for what other choice do I have?

To the Sacred Feminine

To Lilith, the mother
The giver of life
Exiled from your purpose
By fear and by ignorance
Your secrets revealed
In the lives of your children

To Hecate, the crone
Devoted to mystery
Reviled by men
Who believe they be holy
Healer of spirit
Reveal your true magick

To Kali, the destroyer
Mother of chaos
Bringer of order
To life and to death
With both fear and admiration
I bow to your balance

To Sekhmet, the protector
Great guardian
Spread success and safety
To all that I do
Give me the power
To guide in my path

To Diana, the huntress
Needing no other
Inspiration to feminine
Is inspiration to all
Self-reliant maiden
Immortalized in the heavens

To Persephone, queen of the dead
Awaiting your return
Renew and redeem
With the fading of winter
Life blossoms anew
By the touch of your hand

To Aphrodite, the lover
Joiner of all life
Bring nature into one
Fertility of the heart
The sword that you wield
To unite my spirit

And finally, to Isis, the great
Mother of all
What men hath forgotten
Exists undeniable
Wherever one looks
To you I give praise and eternal affection

Unnamed study in black depression # 66

Butterscotch dreams
Swirl in the conscious
Of a marshmallow forest
Where we all come to dance

Sing the song of silence breaking
Tickle the senses like hot apple pie
Give of yourself and take none for granted
It's easier to see when you close your eyes

Thumbing through pages
Of books in the rain
Sweet smell of melancholy
To bring you to life

Strawberry seeds
Stain your fingertips
Burning the nostrils
Of mummified hummingbirds

Step we now
Through an eternity ending
Chocolate tears
Stream down your disguise

Throbbing migraine
Of a newborn waking
Realizing too late
That you slept through your night
