S Sizzling Sol:
heartthrob of the
starlets
each wants him to
shine on only her
young Luna
waxes
poetic
hoping
to win him
but Terra,
who should know better
is blue-green with envy
at being thus eclipsed
[yalto form]
// Syzygy: The nearly straight-line configuration of three
or more celestial bodies (as the sun, moon
and earth during a solar or lunar eclipse) //
"Syzygy"
Behind the wet dunes
fringed with seagrass
a blood crescent
kisses the forehead
of dreamer traversed
twin aeon syzygy
barefeet the velvet
sophia imprints
softly speak
like words seen
dancing across
the place between
heaven and earth
mapping deviations
non-standard
calibrating alignment
played forward through
unchartered jaded
emerald forests
where the satin skin
becomes sparkling
crystalline it shatters
like a shell disgarded, then
the body of no substance
becomes transparent
enveloped in rapturous
Devabani heralding
commands cast
from divine throats
lutes and sitars
whirling nightingales
dervishes wingspanned
accompany angelic legions
the journey melts into
deep blue mysterious oceans
easily walked, hypnotic the
transparent beckoning,
this is the way come,
come, come closer
closer, come forward,
on higher Elysian steppes
the bride smiles
an unspoken secret
and turns
the eyes are
twin windows
like doorways
opening
swallowing
(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)
Turquoise tides,
scintillating
traces
drape hushed prairies
in indigo hues.
Dancing to
ballads
of wild breeze,
love soaks
enchanting
moonlit waves,
down the crevice in
galactic syzygy;
blend
me in your halo.
Syzygy is a linear configuration of celestial bodies by conjunction or opposition(usually during lunar or solar eclipse). It also represents the fusion or a pair of opposing elements(for instance, the conscious and the subconscious minds).

Skies align
moon, sun, and earth
below
eternity.
Come, calls joyous night,
rise from dreams.
(Oh, I
wish I were
weightless!)
In silver,
I am found
as heaven parts clouds,
and a perigee moon
p u l l s
me closer to dance.

Title - Syzygy
"History doesn't repeat itself,
but it does rhyme"*
like the whine of swine
all drunk on wine
this viscous valentine
vents turbid turpentine
volcanic tectonics
of violent landmines
such slovenly, serpentine,
slips of sand
at end of time
as tears weeping
tsunamic sweeping
cesium creeping
the we rereading sky braille unseeing
signs and portents
content with contents
insistant attempts
at repealing events
and blindly concealing
our rifts and our rents
we prefer our unfeeling
and selfish intents
*from a quote of Samuel Clemens
shadow of the moon
across earths ecliptic plane ~
beads and diamond ring
Syzygy is an alignment of celestial bodies
In the universe of eternity,
They are beings of synchronicity
Transcending aspects of reality,
From a place known to be illusory
And deconstructing into angelic form
And reconciled into unconditional love.
Syzygy is what you are to me
A celestial body of love so intense
We feel as if we are omniscient.
Onyx skies
veiled cryptic night
Black moon
shrouded shadows.
Earth and Sun aligned
in Syzygy.
Mystic
drunken beams
asleep.
Cyclic love
Eternal
Chase of light and shade.
Magical Trinity
of
A Divine Union .

Microwave burned up;
no longer made.
New one’s the same size;
that’s what they said.
Syzygy happens
when planets align;
old trim kit holes line up?
Truly divine!
SYZYGY
The sun shines bright in all its beauty
Going about its burning duty
Golden rays blaze in heated fashion
Warming the earth in scorching passion
The moon shimmers in rich radiance
Hushing the world with its luminance
Silver streaks glow in muted manner
Wrapping the earth with drowsy banner
The sun is the regal Rex of day
The moon the ruling Regina ray
Two big lights reigning over the sky
Appointed by God to sparkle high

The dark intestine of the sea
Swallowed a colony of moonlit bats,
God laughed and threw a new
Canopic jar of graceful waves
For Set and Horus to quarrel over;
God smiled again and the darkness
Stampeded over distant green hills,
Horus cried and Set fainted;
God grimaced and the luminous
Blackness enveloped every flower,
Ancient cliffs and ghastly crabs remained
Transfixed by limpid moonshine;
But the pale owl wrapped its feathers
Around the spirit of every paperbark tree;
Victorious as ever, Pallas traced
The eldritch mnemonics of the Big Dipper
To the earth and Arcturus
Rejoined in an angelic syzygy
The sky was dancing with pink clouds,
Like cotton candy floating around.
Lightbeams were splattering about,
For mighty green warriors to sprout.
The sun seems moving yet he stands still, Constraint from duties without his own will.
But every year or two, the moon sends a gentle smile,
Making light years seems like only just one mile.
