All should repent to God
And to stop worshiping 
Any man-made idols...

Stars tumble,
Stars fall,
They sparkle 
Like gems
Surely, 
God watches 
Over them
Stars, 
You are 
My string 
Of pearls 
That adorn
Her neck, 
The Goddess
Athena...

I'm good at two things
but I don't know how to describe them

And they clash with the things that I'm bad at
Poseidon

Athena, who knows?
Blows flow, heaven

or something else....

A bold warrior goddess
Aided Odysseus
As he murdered Trojans
Adjusts Medusa to
A scary Gorgon, FREEZE
Aptly spins perfect web 
Arachne can’t surpass.

Hiding their poison,
colleges feign

Promising sunshine,
delivering rain

Knowledge infected,
politics vile

Lambs to the slaughter

Be still, 
Thy wooden horse, and
Rejoice in glory
For we smash 
The gates of Troy
The smell of victory 
Hangs in these clouds
Zeus, release 
Your hammer of thunder
Athena, do not 
Lead us asunder...

the look in your eyes as  you walk toward me
the way you quicken your pace as our eyes meet
it matters not
that I have forgotten the time
You forget I am late...

Dear!  Broken is the heart 

  if nature not adored

and if zip-splashed colors

 upon tender Spring petals

does not soften the Soul!

And brevity like sudden

 delight pleases reading

eyes!

Mirrors remind her she must live alone
Everything she sees, she turns to stone 
Dismal future she now faces
Ugly snakes upon her head like laces
She is a gorgon, Medusa is her name
Athena punished her, for beauty was her shame...

There once were three girls from Athena
Sweet Lena, Helena and Celestina 
        Each to make a bit of dough
        All set to put on a show
Gave fame’s wheel a spin in packed arena

Almost alive with light
Always wise and vibrant
Assured of grace and love
After the whole heart smiles
Amazed with such kind hope
Approving of great peace
Ancient god of wisdom

A born grace seeks duty,
Aphrodite isn't shade,
Apollo's gift of sight,
A Freudian vexed deems,
Athena shrewdness lair,
Also defeated dread,
Ares symbol of war.

Life is a clock quickly ticking away
Every second you lose is time lost in dismay
Jupiter's omnipotent hand shall light the way
Let Athena grant lasting lucidity's sway

Minuscule moments let your life drain today
Mars' violent stand will provoke more delay
Don't lay waiting for Apollo's next ray
Flee from Death's darkness down Hades' way....

How sweet is my girl Joan whom I adore.
Much like an ancient goddess handed me
then by Zeus great god known from ancient lore.
This my Athena, choicest maid that be.
To my heart's closed door she now holds the key.
All I have I give free on low bended knee.
This my love I have laid before your throne
A source for thy well being my dear Joan....

ATHENA

      Appears a deity.   
      Asserting intellect.
      Affirms truth and knowledge.
       And strong morality.
      Always offers wisdom.
       Also accomplishments.
       Athena Greek Goddess.

My Daughter of time


My daughter of 1989
The face that etches in mine
Can you not see my pain
Plastered on my sleeve

Why have you turned from mine
The time capsule so rare
Love define in our hearts
Forgotten on some hill 

Please turn back 1989
Being there I am secure
Endure the emotion of play
Please turn back and stay

My Daughter of 1989

Athena sprang out of Zeus’s forehead full-grown.
Needing no mother, a goddess born to be wise.
She was known for her many talents and assets.
Courageous, she inspired women to be true to themselves.

She was the goddess of warfare and wisdom.
Revered for her understanding of laws and justice.
She loved being known as the keeper of the arts.
One of the few women who did not need a mother....

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....

Gods and goddesses of Olympus.
Hear me, especially Athena.
You are the goddess of good fortune.
I am losing at this craps table.
I am right alongside the ocean.
Perhaps great Poseidon will help me.
I’ve lost so much money in this place.
Father of the seas, a tidal wave
won’t be a bad idea right now.
Wipe the boardwalk of these evil dens.
Send all of those bums right to Hades.

Asclepius 
Greek god  
one of medicine
cure this aching 
heart

With the medicine 
of love
Athena goddess

I call upon you
to ease the pain

Within heartbreak
like your 
sacrifical lamb
I lay  upon 
your altar
take me to

of love

The cure
only remedy
through the sands 
of time
I call 
your name

Pausing
to say
I love you
the cure
to my heart
