SATURN GOD OF TIME

Saturn ! You magnetised with 
enchanting icy rings
promised white gold
endless skates on 
Chrysalis circled cates
said we would go round 
like fairy rings 
said you had so much
Love to give I would never 
go wanting nor be mere 
interstellar dove to shove
said we were a pair to
helium share winds to
dare !

One ring lemon yellow 
smiles metallic miles 
I sensed a wilyness 
my eyes glued with 
symphonic hues 
ears clouded with 
vapour vestments dew
one ring like a Mexican 
hat I wore in Gaia’s spring
my crown shut with Sun
I did not know it was one 
of your cunning Cronus
smoke jokes !

I decided that perhaps 
you were the One I was 
sorrowfully seeking
skated and skated
round we swirled like with 
Sufis I once danced
pranced in Arabian curls
cloaked in silk super
strappy whorls
Pandora and Prometheus 
peeping for your weeping

Zeros and ones your fire 
worked its magic in purple 
gold bronze  emerald 
green higher and
higher Saturnalia feasting 

I drunk from your luminous 
circles for centuries on end
capture complete with 
roundabouts to reap my 
liquid pure and sweet 
I fed your unquenchable
thirst until I was but a ping 
with my purity you sang 
in frequencies only Lord 
Divine could endure some 
more veils galore

It was all a dissolution trick !
You ! Master of Time
structure systems laws
trickery manifestation jaws
You ! Master of Revelry 
manipulation magic maidens
Saturn ! You sucked me sly 
dropped me dried out skate
from Sky to outskirts of Earth 
impoverished fate, Celestial 
mythical mate !

I fell onto a rock in a desert 
bleeding, serpents slithering 
Nobody was seeking a 
scuttled sickle from above
my palms upturned to your
luminous circles, loops 
circumferenced gift girdles 
mischievous you grinned
other grand skaters now 
anew, that enticing Mexican 
hat askew
Goddess Rhea never knew 
 
Saturn ! From far below 
I saw you imbibe my 
babes with their lovely 
smiles in tipsy tow
skaters unawakened
in a spectacular spindly
show so talented taken
with naughty nymphs
your ammonia victims 

Wait  bright circled 
Planet of law lightning 
those endless skating 
cleared my eyes from 
starry glue so true 
ice skating diminished
my Sun to see Dark 
mystery when Moon Titan 
its beauty cursory hidden 

Centuries of skating 
signified no more hating
vapour dew cleared 
from ears for your
throaty thrills chilled 
my fears becoming
your red cloak frills
dissipated black hole
bills

To Sophia Gaia I could 
return
Saturn sheer oil sealed !
babes relinquished peeled
they too will see as 
Jupiter chains you
indeed !
