SPHINX STONE

 
I am Sphinx Stone, Sun stationed statue
silent sculptured synoptic, not marble or 
granite nor black tourmaline or crystal 
timelines cutting cross my magnetic 
magenta miracle to dissipate in dry 
desert winds, my gaze unmoved 
as quizzing quantum queens swirl 
around a Blue Planet ascending

Sphinx Stone gathering goddess’ goodness 
whilst slippery Sophi-el sprinkle sparkle 
Nile evaporations down Sumerian 
phantom phœnix photons
here I stare broken-nosed across vast 
expansions exiting or entering dual 
portal claws hot rooted into Violet Flames 
of Mother Earth belying my etheric origins

Did Leo descend from helium heavens 
painstakingly perfect from His tumultuous 
gut with goblets of gold, goblins gyrating ?
ask you may North African secrets slither 
no soiled sounds to simmer in sandy
storms or scarlet sunsets spreading 
spells, silence my singular speech to 
skulls of pharaohs or peasant alike

I am Sphinx Stone, my silhouette 
signposted in simple or significant sigils 
Saturn’s starlit sighs bypass not my 
knowing aloof yet vacant stare which 
agelessly gather stories of aeons 
imprinting dreams of God into manifest 
luminosity becoming your words on lion 
bones or this ephemeral page 

Sphinx Stone I see sabian riddled profiles 
making prolific progress patterns filled 
with steely grit, come now release 
agitated ages of bygone bitters to 
prick or paddle dimensions where 
appled anemones sing my stare into song to 
swallow swiftly sweetly slivers of sanctities

I remain Sphinx Stone stable 
unsullied forevermore
