A Gemini artist married to a Libra mathematician?
This will end badly, a relationship that defies regal ambition.
The naysayers laugh for we are opposite in many ways.
I can lose myself in my work and paint canvasses for days.
My libra mathematician likes statistics, it is his powerful tool.
I cannot understand algebra, statistics once made me a fool.
But we eat our beef, mashed potatoes with warm bread.
And we do not talk shop, so our marriage moves along ahead.
A Gemini artist married to a Libra mathematician is insane.
But we have been married for over fifty years so this is plain.
Although I despise math, and he does not cartoon, paint or sing.
We have many commonalities, and laugh at the same thing.
We raised three daughters who understood the beauty of this.
Depending upon the problem, they sought answers for their bliss.
Asking the Gemini when playing and whimsy was the answer they wanted.
If it was a logic question or a math problem, for Daddy they hunted.

Petition to the Black Libra of Santa Muerte
Black Libra of Santa Muerte
Bring me justice, oh bring me justice
The Justice of Great Santa Muerte
A saving gift that grants us peace
Be my lawyer, Black Libra of Santa Muerte
Let me feel Thy saving embrace
Oh Black…oh Black Santa Muerte
Be with me until God I face.
Amen.

*Petitions to the 8 Emblems of Santa Muerte
My Libra is completely gaga over me; I am a Gemini.
He has been pursuing me since we were five-years-old.
He told our first-grade teacher that he was going to marry me.
He is determined and resolute; I held a grudge about this for years.
When I gave him another chance, we were fifteen-years-old.
We became best friends because he is honest, kind, and can be silly.
He makes me laugh, and he always has my back.
There is no one I trust more than my Libra.
We have been married for fifty-four years; children who met at age four.
A Gemini and a Libra, the best marriage combination of all.
The babies of the fall
The fairest of them all
They live to weigh the scales
‘Cause “Justice will prevail”
They’re social butterflies
Personalities full of charm
Their smiles, you’ll memorize
“They’re sweet so what’s the harm?”
They love beautiful things
They’re into casual flings
But these ones tend to cling
Like an angel to its wings
These lovers are the sweetest
They’ll take your heart to Venus
They can also be the meanest
‘Cause kindness ain’t their weakness
With their lie detecting skills
You’ll be running for the hills
But they’ll treat you like royalty
If they know you’ve got loyalty
They’ve got the gift of gab
Their heart is up for grabs
They’re romantic to the core
They’ll leave you wanting more
beauty all around
crumbling fragile leaves soaring
oh, the splendor of whirling
burnt orange
and red leaves spin
like weeping blood red raindrops
oh, listen to the sweet sound
of falling leaves
while the wind utters low wails
like a hundred violins
and hidden birds sing
a beautiful symphony
Lilian, a Libra,
Looking for lasting love,
Liked Les and luckily
Leo was his star sign
Looked good until his wife
Laughed at the suggestion
Lilian? Still a spinster
The sun is in libra today.
The weather is warm,
And so is the colour of your eyes.
I tell you they are pretty
And you reply with a smile.
That is all it took,
A smile, a compliment,
And the way you look up for your eyes to meet mine.
“Yours too,” you tell me,
And I know you just wanted to be nice,
But since then
My black, boring dark eyes
Became my favorite thing about me.
Falling in love with you felt like lots of things.
All at once.
it felt scary and dangerous,
But it also felt fitting and right
It made me crumble and break at times,
It was confusing and messy, and ruthless.
But in many ways,
Falling in love with you
made me love myself
A little bit more,
A queen was born on this special day Hardworking with ambitious
Independent strong and very highly motivated
She is someone that is for sure prestigious
In her own words she can't be predicted
Happy-go-lucky with a sprinkle of craziness
Gentle to the touch gracious and all around graceful
For her presence in my bubble is the coziest
She's like cheerful daisy the symbolism of April
My addiction one that's more dangerous than any drug
I labeled her as my most priceless treasure
A miracle that's been searching for but never found
My guardian angel whom which I'll take measures to be with forever
If you were to be a chapter in any story you'll be the prologue and epilogue
For everything begins and end with you

Lips lustered with Venus-enchantment flirt as
Imagineer steers your swoon to the Moon on a love song..
Beyond oneness with another, the lover and artiste
Relishes color in counterpoise to white rising light, and so flows
Abstracts across a sunrise canvas to laud a treaty ‘tween night and day

LIBRA
Loyal and true, a friend who will be there and will always care
Inspired by nature, who is creative with talent and flair
Building on dreams, perhaps so long ago left behind
Romantic, passionate, gentle, sweet, and kind
Always seeks to keep peace, never to malign

Make the scales balance
Venus in Libra
The realm of crashing waves of cardinal qualities
Rising elements of Vim and Vigor
A zest of love and life filling individuals
The magnetism of a blossoming choirs
Widening the lungs of liberation and freedom
The aura of innocence in faith
Meandering through the tray of Cosmos
Simultaneously drawn to euphoric heart
Ravenous for harmonious pleasure
The realm of Venus see's all
To purify begins with agony
The majestic Fantasia washing away the burden
As seekers create something to love
Under the Liberian Sun
Utopian harmony singing
White doves chasing the dragon through a voyage of serenity
The scales balance every grief with joy
Creating an impenetrable mantle
The realms of Venus
Weaving the webs of the divine veil
Overseen by Aphrodite
Charming those who believe in the fulfilment
Guiding calmness through a mental lake
Free from the consumer of greed and delusion
Now in the relief of a comforting consciousness
A haven expanding, lighting immortal sparks of love
Libra Office Writer, you so confuse
A magnitude of settings that I will never use
Preformatted text, whatever next
Merge cells, macros, horizontial hold
Bibliography data base, my heart turns cold
Libra Office Writer’ see you later
Its back to old fashioned
Pen and paper
I am Libra
In every way, in every emotional sense
I am the white picket fence
That encases the complexity
Which makes up all that is me
I am me
I am the chameleon
I am the peace
In all the things you wish to see me be
I am passion
I am love
I am freedom and justice and all of the above
But still I am
The diplomacy and balance
That makes up your own democracy
I can naturally lead you to the end of your insecurity
I am strong willed and independent
Charismatic, ambitious and very flirtatious
But that's me
Still silently awaiting
To be in your precious reality
It be a dream you see
To be the rain that showers love
Or the sun that lights up your days
From so high above
But that's me
A peacekeeper, a homemaker
A pervasive, idealistic extrovert
Whose passionate enough to cleverly become
Your most dynamic love maker
I am excited
I am loyal
And all that you see that never seems to spoil
But that is me, the Libra you see
Patiently awaiting
For you to set me free
