The Same Die Is Cast for One and All

The name of every soul
is written line by line,
without highlights or underlining
in the leaves of pages
of the book of souls.

The stone temples built
by kings that rise to the heavens,
fall as empires fade and crumble,
when the ledger must be made.

No human god can barter with the end,
no king can forever 
outrun the roll-call 
for their entry

The Receiving of the Flower
excerpt from an ancient Mayan love poem
translation by Michael R. Burch

Let us sing overflowing with joy
as we observe the Receiving of the Flower.
The lovely maidens beam;
their hearts leap in their breasts.

Why?

Because they will soon yield their virginity to the men they love!

May Mayan Kings

MAYAN MAY KINGS

Could there be a major masterpiece
Or any more May Mayan as this May poem
Inspired by Ken L Custance's
"Maybe the Mayans had it write?",
Mixed & made by a Masterdom?
Maybe!
This may be my own Mayans May piece; maybe,
Marinated by a Mayan May king,
Just as one maestro 'maynaic' major,
Not just a mate but the main man.
Indeed,

Cherokee Travelers' Blessing I
loose translation by Michael R. Burch

I will extract the thorns from your feet.
For yet a little while, we will walk life's sunlit paths together.
I will love you like my own brother, my own blood.
When you are disconsolate, I will wipe the tears from your eyes.
And when you are too sad

The Mayan Warrior Princess

The Mayan Warrior Princess

In eerie recurring dreams, like things seen dimly before dawn,
blurred memories of a temple pyramid resurface from an era long gone. 
My ancient soul trapped between two different worlds,
one new - the other centuries old,
remind me that I have been here before,
and of that I am absolutely sure.

According To the Mayan Calendar

Per the Mayan Calendar the world was to end on the twenty-oneth of December!

I called my preacher who knows about celestial things and he couldn't remember,

Receiving any such revelation from his Boss Up There about any pending disaster!

I breathed an unfeigned sigh of relief since I have great confidence in my pastor!

Well, the twenty-oneth of

The Mayan Day of Doom Is Drawing Near

The Mayan Day of Doom Is Drawing Near

By Elton Camp

In case the big uproar you don’t remember
The end of the world is the 21st of  December

At least that what some claim the Mayans say
While others insist they didn’t mean it that way

Still, some folks just a bit still may believe
Special knowledge the Mayans did

Cocoa pods ripe…

Bitter made sweet.

Packaged as treasures

Mayan Calendar

That calendar – Mayan
Is scary, no liein’
Let’s look at the details a spell
There’s a gator that smilin’
And a dog that’s just stylin’
And a lot of cool pictures as well

When really seen within the light
All the heads are turning right
Except for that cool stylin’ dog
There are circles and spheres
That must represent years
But their meaning’s no clearer

About the Mayan Doomesday Calendar

About the Mayan Doomsday Calendar

By Elton Camp

A lot of gullible people got quite a scare
By a preacher saying the end was there
To know that is certainly not in his power
Because nobody can know the day or hour

As if we hadn’t heard enough of that before
A strange Mayan calendar has folks in a roar
It shows that

The Mayan Declared

The year is 2025
I have come back to my past
To witness the Mayans
Who said Earth would not last

2012
Was the year they declared
That the planet we knew
Could never be spared

An Asteroid shower
We could never comprehend 
Sends this heaven to hell
In catastrophic spend

The first to hit
Was the daddy of them all
Our axis twisted
The human race in fall
