Lady in repose

Lady in repose
drifting to horizons
pink and psychedelic 
where dream dimensions
uncoil like ribbons
vibrant rainbow iridescence
circling moon spotlight
hidden fairy places
angel spun filigree
festooning domed citadels
of fantasy tales.

Sinners Paranoia

Dragon gnarling gaze
The fire mouthed beast gurgling
Deluges of flood

And creation cringe
Before the broiling fire, razed
All things with desire

Toppled thrones, doomed kings
Mangled and twisted in wrath
Shambles to the bone

Melting citadels
Smoke choked lungs screams sin's silence
We crumbled to ash

Premium Member Hail Ukraine

In the name of keeping peace
Russia raked up war at ease
Mounting conflicts and crises
Unleashing on Ukraine all vices...

When love and trust they needed
Bombs and shells strength wielded
Razing homes; raising death-toll
Morons made merry at Ukraine's fall...

Though broken into pieces
Ukraine's worth never ceases
It has held its head so high
Shaking citadels of pride to sigh...

Huaca Saqsaywaman

Come into the light , come, she said,
release the shadows from your head,
her words portrayed Mother Earth.
In stone citadels neath the stars,
draw the winds from both near and far,
inside her heart from first birth.

The songs of wise recall a time
of life and faith in reason's rhyme
under the climbing moon's light.
Sacred heart of her people call
return the lost soul from the fall
a ritual chant tonight.
