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 unmanifest luminosity becoming your 
words on lion bones or this ephemeral page 

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

I remain Sphinx Stone stable unsullied 
forever more
