Short Artemis Poems

Staring, smirking, salivating men 
You are the bane of my existence 
How dare you defile my temple with your lustful eyes
I await the day where I get my chance 
To unleash my wrath, gifted from Artemis...

Ascending out of Zeus
  Apollo's twin sister
  Also rules many realms
  Among them, wildlife, moon
  An eternal virgin
  A very skilled hunter
  Able in shape-shifting

Some wildness runs in Artemis
As silver streaks in a jet of coal-black hair

This beauty    wrought to tempt a man
Is    by her lesbian air    a beauty wasted

Her eyes to thine reflect a dream
Where senses numb and leave the lips untasted...

A journey landing in December
Road to the Moon of wonder
Trip of four to remember
East of Eden fonder
Milestone is in the offing
Instilled dream becomes a happening
Strobe lights showing and playing

Second-scheduled mission, but first crewed......

she travels like a silver mirror
across the midnight sky
her lights play hid and seek
within the foggy forest pines
the rotten stumps do seem to swoon
as crickets present to her their tunes
and blackbirds worship as she passes
down behind the mountain grove...

With a beautiful glowing face
And a red lip line
Eyes, brushed with smoky grey foam
Stands a girl, with stars all blown 
Into a splendid silver gown 
Turning the dust into angelic wings 
Showering light all through the spring 
Makes the little moon, all
Mystery to  me....

A twin -the brother of
Artemis, and the most
Attractive god was he.
Also god of music,
Archery, healing, plague
And light, he was nicknamed
“Averter of evil.”

Failure to say that yes, His Beauty, shall thrust it's sickle
Into her earth soon there after convulsing their solar stars
Angel food cake latter day rains a new manna cannibals await
Carnelian this evil dead of ancient tombs these shuttered moons
Raging flames, inside hell's pain and carrion, they'll awake ? Artemis....

Is she Artemis when she shoots, going back to her roots? Or Aphrodite when men fall without shoots, or benevolent Athena when she steps on the field, prepared for war in her boots. Unequaled and unchallenged, dominance assure with Nike carrying her on wings victory, a born winner without a spinner;  chance is not her inner. She is Alex Morgan, original and free; All the things women strive to be....

You mere mortals I have told repeatedly.
We gods and goddesses on Mt. Olympus
want to be known by our true identity.
I have already approached you about this.
I’m the moon goddess; “Artemis” is my name.
Perhaps Helios should consume you with flame.
If I hear any of you call me “Selene”,
I will have to do something very obscene.

scarcely noted tinge of moribund intent
in stealth advances to dull selene’s 
full aspect with penumbral shade

luna’s wizened glow, its fate assured,
in grim surrender—stolid umbra
spreads somber cloak of death

benighted orb, a wound erupts,
suffused with crimson, yet artemis endures—
poets’ pens stilled by mid-april’s red moon

There’s nothing goddess-like
about those moonbeams
silver glowing arch 
not of your back
soft and inviting 
but of your bow
cold and piercing
silent slayer.
There’s nothing to adore
within your face 
gleaned from marble
glossed immortality 
as you condemn with 
opal eyes.
There’s everything wrong
with my animal lust
stag in mating season 
wanting your body 
more than life itself 
denied by your
virginal lock....

ABORT ABORT
but Donaldson was already drifting
further and further away from us
the thickness of his suit decreasing 
as his courageous kindness
floated on within his demise 
and all I could do was stare panic stricken
through the small window's cruelness 
as the white speck of my friend
became more and more surrounded
by the blackness of space
far removed from everything that existed
and I wondered if Donaldson would 
explore the universe forever

Five months, and a flower blossomed
Artemis' prayers chanted at the lighted moon
A spirit entered your home,you won't go back

Who is she? A god or a demon
You hate her and love her
So much suffering drunk your mind
So many alters no one will find the core

Remember its all for a better world
Lead will turn to gold and men to gods
Nothing can stop them

Its all written, no one will find you Judy
May the holy spirit fight for you
Good bye, my love
And hail to the brave new world...
