Best Aquarius Poems
At times I am spontaneous
Quick to respond with wit and charm
Undaunted seeker of perfection
Afraid of causing pain or harm.
Romantic traits are not neglected
Imagination serves me well
Uranus powers my existence.
Safe are your secrets: I won’t tell!

I go where mountain streams converge
And stand with pitcher on the verge
Of a transparent tranquil pool
Where waters merge lucent and cool
There is the grass sparkling with dew
I dip the jar in aqua blue
It overflows its precious gift
As with both hands I gently lift
To raise the contents to my lips
So that I take the first few sips
And then I drink the rest in haste
There is ambrosia in the taste
That brings to mind my faithful muse
The sky is filled with scarlet hues
I am entranced and stay until
The sun goes up; once more I fill
The jar with water to the brim
On wings of time I fly and skim
Till I arrive at heaven’s gates
Then walk to where my master waits
The zodiac path is where he lives
He lays the rules and ever gives
To freedom lovers ample space
To go about at their own pace
And cure the fragile human race
To make the world a better place.
A water bearer I shall be
With care to serve eternally.

I always saw myself, a rarity
My inner peace comes with clarity
I'm so extreme, it often seems
The world is so unfair to me
Then I was called an Aquarius
Turns out, there are many of us
About as rare as a rocking chair
Or a pecan in a can of nuts
But how in the world could it be
Are there really others, just like me
Deliriously mysterious
Tempting the line of both extremes
I've accepted that I'm strange
Agreed that I won't change
But I was taught, it was my fault
It was I who was deranged
Now I just observe
I need not speak a word
No longer blind, I see my kind
I admit, it seems absurd
As if I walk around
Without speaking sound
But even still, others will
Know I am a clown
They'll know I'm awfully odd
By the transparency of my facade
I cannot hide, won't tell a lie
They'd know I was a fraud
Just look at my date of birth
It will tell you what I'm worth
No need to wait, inevitable fate
Now you know henceforth
The Children of Aquarius
Are a great delight
They are quick and nimble thinkers
And their minds are all alight
They have knowledge at their fingertips
They have everything they need
To live a full and fruitful life
They are fortunate indeed
Since the Age became Aquarius
And the Age of Knowledge has begun
The world has changed completely
By precession of the sun
There has never been a time
In this life waves history
Where access to information
Came so quick and easily
There is nothing they can’t research
Not a thing they cannot learn
To find all the information
So any doctorate they can earn
They have knowledge to protect them
And their minds can be set free
From old fashioned superstition
And religious tyranny
They’re now past being frightened
By the old and worn out knell
That we heard too often
“Go to church or burn in hell”
Knowledge has increased their minds
And they can finally see
That there really is no difference
Between the likes of you and me
Yes, the children of Aquarius
Are a new and better race
And it falls upon their shoulders
To bring some changes to this place
Now they will work together
To clean up the mess we made
Maybe they can save the planet
Before it is too late
An independent thinker and sometimes a rebel, and
Quite resistive to change- always and forever,
Utterly loyal and faithful to friends old and new.
Amethyst my gemstone and violet my flower, a
Real big storyteller, I have stories to tell - sometimes,
Inside my head I dwell for a long time, disconnected;
Until, it is time to write a poem or story, and
Sometimes, I like to float in water in my meditation.

Fifth Place
Boldly, the hellions appeared.
Riding in one-by-one pointing accusing fingers.
Out of the eerie darkness they rode,
as if from the depths of an abyss, they came.
The first offered a toxic libation.
Lethal words ranted like a preacher
hurled like fire and brimstone.
A tenebrous warning as time runs out...
"Mothers keep your children at your knee.
Soon the world will dwell in misery!"
The next rider arrived as if from Hell.
Tongues of fire from sea and sand
claiming to do the Piper's bidding.
Another poisonous drink he poured
with the message that leaders lie.
'Do not defy Hell's commands!"
They come on wheels of Dharma
from the Darkside of Aquarius,
breathing fire across the world
that no amount of water can douse.
Without hesitation, the third rider appeared,
invading peaceful dreams of some
that turned into morbid nightmares,
and the stark reality that his mission
was the submission of men to kill their brothers.
Rider four from hell patiently waited his turn
then said wars were games of religious fools.
His words scared superstitions minds
a tool he used when his tongue was on an acid trip.
They come on wheels of Dharma
from the Darkside of Aquarius,
breathing fire across the world
that no amount of water can douse.
Time is running out to save minds and souls.
Hellriders arrived ahead of the silver surfer.
The wheel will keep moving round and round
until in the end, the truth unfolds.
Based on the Bruce Dickinson song Darkside of Aquarius.
RIDERS ON THE STORM*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a storm gathers on the horizon,
bringing a reckoning long overdue~
the dharmic wheel’s broken,
mankind’s running out of time.
the storm ushers forth hell riders~
from the dark side of Aquarius
they arrive, not bearing water,
but a drought of empathy,
a famine of the soul.
the first, a shadow on wings of plenty,
a cornucopia of lies, spewing venom,
appears, dissolving truth, erasing the mark of decency~
the wind carrying the dust of what was,
into the hollows of what will be.
the dharmic wheel’s broken,
mankind’s running out of time.
The second, born of fire and brine,
a mirage shimmering on scorched earth,
plays a piper’s song of promised lands~
his honeyed words coat the bitter pill of tyranny,
the blackened tongues of lying leaders, chanting anthems of hate.
the dharmic wheel’s broken,
mankind’s running out of time.
The third descends, not on a pale horse,
but on a tide of discord,
teaching the brutal calculus of Cain~
brother against brother, man against man,
spilling man’s crimson seed on fields of hate.
the dharmic wheel’s broken,
mankind’s running out of time.
The fourth appears, eyes dilated,
pupils swallowing the light,
adrift on a chemical sea,
waiting for the acid rain to fall,
for the world to dissolve into broken promises.
He loiters, seeing the wars of ancient religious fools~
superstitious men clutching at shadows,
their gods demanding blood,
their scriptures twisted into weapons
of neon and steel.
But wait!
Across the still obsidian ocean,
on silver light he glides~
a solitary traveler arrives,
whispering hope, mending Dharma’s fractured spokes,
setting the Dharmic wheel in motion one more time.
*The title, "Riders in the Storm," is merely coincidence and not a reference to the Doors song with the same name.
Always there for others
Quickie – we love them!
Unpredictable as she doesn’t like to follow instructions
Always cherishes her freedom more than anything
Romantic but don’t cheat on her, she will never forgive you
Intelligent and imaginative, loves to learn something new
Unconventional she will not go with the flow
Sees the world from a different point of view
Wears what she wants to and looks good
Often seen as a social butterfly
Mysterious men are attractive to Aquarian women
Amazing listener – you can pour your heart out to her
Not jealous or possessive

I AM I, CLEARLY I AM
AQUARIUS I TAKE A SOLEMN BOW
AQUARIUS TO AQUARIUS
AMEN
AGAIN
AMEN
Aquarius met Belle from France
Attracted he asked for a dance
The first was a slow
He stepped on her toe
Did he deserve a second chance?
Average? No, no - that’s just not for me,
Questioning everything’s where I must be.
Universally speaking, the stars are my home;
Art is my passion, where free-mind can roam;
Receptive and open I love, give and dream,
Ideas come quickly – I say what I mean;
Unique is my forte, I’m kind and I’m cool;
Sweeping, far-reaching - I make my own rules!
*inspired by Danielle's Acrostic Astrology Contest
Aquarius
Aquarians think ahead of their times
But are not material for all climes
Rare losers they are
With losses bizarre
They are normally not party to crimes.

For Leonora's contest
It seems that I am an Aquarius,
and as for my skills, they are various,
I don't spend time thinkin'
when I can be drinkin'
'cause that is when I am the merriest!
Rebellious and independent,
a strong mind driven by intent;
see a face never mistrusted,
hear sincere words well-expressed...
no detail is insignificant.

You are Aquarius, I, Leo the lioness; you are wind and I am fire.
You blow on me, causing an inferno between us; a wild trembling deep
in the soul.
You are my husband, I, your wife; for three years those flames have raged,
let them burn on, burn on, out of control!
(To my husband)
I love you, even though our horoscopes say we shouldn't be together. That
just goes to show you the freaks we are! lol
