The Death of Saturn

In the early morning sky before Sol erased the night
The Devil’s Triangle did possess the night

In the fourth house Father Time was to be buried
He had many children both mortals God and Goddess

In the fourth house set the constellation Sagittarius and along
side him come one of his son Mars and the Great Red Serpent

The Great Red Serpent was the king of the underworld and the Fates had cut the immortal life cord of Father Time himself

Father Time ruled his Kingdom with an iron fist and some of his children sat and
looked on with glee and watched over his enormous dark silver color coffin

Hermes was commissioned to sing a special song but one of his brothers stole his song and he decided on We Have Only Just Begun

The death of Father Time was the force of new life and a new time a new era was to be born as Father Time himself was to be rebirth in the constellation of Aquarius

Many immortals being traveled wide and far across the galaxy for Father Time funeral and some of them were attacked in space portals as they saw the Kingdom weakening

Hermes was one of the victims of these attacks but he called out the spirit of Father Time to save him

In the center of the constellation of Sagittarius came a new light a rainbow light
The light had seven distinct rays and three color were the prime

Green
Yellow
Blue

The Light run up and down the spectrum and formed into the Violet Flame

The Violet Flame energy purpose to fill the void left behind by the death of Father Time and the disarray brought on by the Devil’s Triangle

The Violet Flame 
The Violet Flame
The Violet Flame

The Red Wagon

When I was a 6 or 7 old boy,
my mother bought me a red wagon.

I loved this wagon.
I would pulled my friends in it.
I imaged I was a bus driver.

My friends would line up
at designated street corners,
and I would pick them up.

Too many kids would want
to join in on the fun,
and I was too stupid to say no.

I would pulled when my red wagon,
was stuffed with fat and little ones.

I would get tired but I never 
turned any children away.

I loved  making the other kids
happy. I still do that today but
with reservations.

I want to make my friends and
family happy, I wish I could take theirs
and my own problems away,
and that we can pile up in some
red plane or red boat or a red car
and forget about it all.

But, none of us are children anymore
and my red wagon is too over wrought
to even carry me.

I Am Sam

I am Sam
I am that I am
I am the one who became the first openly gay footballer in America

I am Sam
I am that I am
I am the black man
But I am Sam who does not see my gayness as having anything to do with my professional career which was a choice until like sexuality

I am Sam
I am that I am
I am the one who does not want to be judged by the color of my life style but by my actions on the field of play and the character of my heart 
 
I am Sam
I am that I am 
I am the Sam who is connected to the Rainbow Connection and I am a bridge to help others like me to come out come out no matter wherever you are to Saint Louis

The name of the Star

I am Sam
I am that I am
I am the you and I am me
I am that I am
I am the Sam the Ram

The Miracle of Love

The Miracle of Love


Love is a miracle
Like the first morning

Love is a miracle
Like the first morning dew

Love is a miracle
Like the first seed planted in the heart

Love is a miracle
Like the Grace of God

Love is a miracle
Like the first light of love in the heavens

Love is a miracle
Like the first time praising God’s creations


Love is a miracle
Like the first flower of the Bleeding Heart of the soul

Love is miracle
Like the first Saint who prays for miraculous healing

Love is miracle
Like the first time loving the unlovable 

Love is a miracle
Like the first signs of heart break and yet love is like a miracle 


Love is a miracle
Like the first Mother giving up her Son and Daughter to die 

Love is a miracle
Like the first promise of His/Her return in the Spring

Love is a miracle
Like the first blue bird praising the sky

Love is a miracle
Like first dark night and yet the hope and promise of a new day

The Night Before Halloween Eve

People who are in the know say that the veil is very thinning on Halloween night. The waxing gibbous moon is a time when death walks on the face of the Earth. The Devil’s Hour is at 3 am exactly. This all must be true.

Because at 3:15 am I was visited by the Angel of Death, first I saw her dark shadow in the hall way. Was she waiting for me to come outside because I supposed that there was nothing stopping her from walking through the walls.

The Angel of Death was short and her hair was blonde and she assumed a man’s persona. She told me that her name was Adam. I got up to go to the bathroom and she walked into the room next door to me. The man in that room was an older white man and he was crying in pain. 

Was his pain from dying or in relief that he would finally be relieved of his suffering. This I do not know but when the Angel of Death left his room, her face and color changed from milky white to pale grey and her face was faceless. The room that he was in was like a waiting room for death because many people have died there.

I was afraid but relieved that the Angel of Death did not come for me. I went back to my room in fear and watched the doors and windows for hours. Like a frightened child I hid under the covers. Hoping and praying that the Angel of Death was gone.

The Angel of Death faceless face was in my mind's eye because of how she took him without a word or trace except when she left his room. The Angel of Death was nine months pregnant on the night before Halloween Eve.

Hermes Lament

In the days of Ancient times
Men and woman honors the Gods
The Gods and humans were one

In the days of Ancient times
Men and woman looked to the Gods
For advisement and were led by them

But the Gods left men and women because
They found new gods to follow worship and believe in
The gods of money and technology and dark magic

Men and woman were like the blind leading the blind
The Gods of the Ancient times were left in the background
And forgotten because the men and woman asked the Gods to follow them

The Gods lamented because the men and Woman were more like their brothers and sisters to the Gods and not children



From the Gods point of view their brothers and sisters had died because their memories of the Gods were no more
From the point of view of the brothers and sisters the Gods had abandoned them because they had lost their memories of the Gods

Disharmony and disunity was in both heaven and earth
But in time and after a time
The Cause created the effect

A clarion call went out from the Mother of the Gods
She sang a beautiful song
A song from the center of the Universal Harmony

The song was heard from the heavens and went down into the Earth
The song caused the Earth to quiver and shake
The song awakened The Aquarian who forged a new path of fiery flood waters

The Gods had returned to woman and men
The Bridge of Light was reformed in their minds and hearts
And the Gods of Ancient times lead the woman and men  
To their rightful place in the Universe of Things

Love Like a Rose

Love is like a rose
Like the fibonacci frequency
Perfect geometry in all its curved lines

Love is like a rose
Like the shape of the heart
Filled with satisfaction and passion and love

Love is like the sweet smell of the rose
Like a romance that said what is the good smell
When your car needs to be cleaned

Irony In the Skies

In one day it was announced 
that life could be found on other planets
was the same day that the government dropped a bomb called the mob

What life that God gives
the GoDvernment takes away

Irony in the skies
Irony in the skies

Like shoo fly pie
Nothing last forever
Run your behind and hide

What life that God gives
the Godvernment takes away in stride

I Am the Pond

I am the gold fish
Swimming in the pond

I am the blue bullfrog
Bellowing in the pond

I am the yellow tadpole
Feeding in the pond

I am the fluorescent dragonfly
Nesting in the pond

I am the white rock
Wading in the pond

I am the Noble Savage
Siting on another rock
Contemplative near the pond

I am the sycamore tree
Overshadowing everything within the pond

I am the boisterous wind
Breathing the breath of life in the pond

I am the high noon sun
The spark of life in the pond

I am the green algae and amoeba
Supporting all life in the pond

I am the tall river of grass
Cleaning debris in the pond

I am the blue heron
Raising like the Pohoenix
From the tar sands in pond

I am the black sea turtle
Like an island
Caring for my children
Black white yellow and brown
In the blue pond

The Littlest Prince

The littlest Prince lived and died in the Vault

He began his music career early-on learning every aspect of the music 
The littlest Prince had received his first lessons from his father who had his own band

The littlest Prince father was not a king but also himself a Prince and his mother was the lead back up singer

The littlest Prince went to school and returned to the vault at night but he was not well liked because of his small stature and turned to music for his salvation

He formed his own bands like his father and worked on his craft but anger and rage and sexual upset and poverty formed his music then

The littlest Prince was without a father when his parents divorced but because of his work in the vault he was signed to a record deal at the age of 19

The littlest Prince achieved much success with hit after hit after hit and he secluded himself inside the Vault and away from the other stars and musicians on the west and east coast

The littlest Prince settled in the middle of America and built an even larger white Vault and lived inside of it and locked himself in 

But things were not quiet on the inside the littlest Prince wrote and collaborated with other artists and writers and musicians

Inside the Vault was a world of his imagination symbols mythology love music and sexual mayhem

The littlest Prince was heard to say that if he did not make music he would die

The littlest Prince like the Vault was surrounded in secrecy lawyers and no personal interviews and only he could enter the Vault

The littlest Prince lived and died in the Vault

And it has been said that whoever controls the Vault controls his future

The littlest Prince prophetically said days before his death wait a few days before you waist yours prayers

Inside the Vault there is enough music from the littlest Prince to outlive us all into the 22nd century

The littlest Prince may have died but long live the littlest Prince
