thunder rules the skies
scepter of rain comes down hard
flooding streets

Sun's reign was over

The scepter passed to night's hands

Stars envied the throne!

'Scepter and Crown
must tumble down.'
wrote a poet of a long past day. 
For want of renewal,
must so many a school
not tumble but crumble away....

A solitude unrivaled, unrestrained by the opaque art. Cyclic nexus to be revealed, 
undermined through a scepter of voracity. Vivacious involute of a void iconic lapsing 
waves of a subtle decay....

Jesus my Scepter
Rod of guidance
My awe-ALL protector
You’re a shelter for me
A shadow from the heat
An ensign for ALL Nations

sunlight dims at dusk
blaze diminished and fading
as she slips to sea

rise, the silvered moon
with a scepter in his hand
to rule starlit night

celestial rapport
harmony and unison
as allied partners...

I live to love a little book
Each line and every page
The words transcend
My head is bent
In shapes of little stains

Controlled I hold the Wielded Well
My scepter of the mind
My little torch to wave at night
I'm awake and I'm alive...

Every scepter, every throne,
reverts again anew

The god’s, their will divided,
in Iliads of truth

All wars of good intention,
paved avenues to hell

Honor shamed by Zeus renamed
—that horse where judgment dwells

Every scepter, every throne,
  reverts again anew

The god’s, their will divided,
 —an Iliad of ‘truth’    

A war of good intentions,
  paved avenue to hell

Honor shamed, by Zeus renamed,
 —that horse where judgment dwells

Flakes sparkle, a golden sun emerges;
shadows chase children 'round forts of snow.
The groundhog appears holding his scepter.
"Don't store away those sleds just yet";
warm jackets will reign for six more weeks.
Snow plays its card – spades high.

crown of bobby pins and bandana
   she hoists a beer bottle scepter
   dime store paste royal necklace 
   moth holed sweater Queen's cape
   her well worn lawn chair throne
   she stays alert in  her tower
   surveys her realm on Alcott Lane
   nothing escapes the queen's watch...

Shoreward she wafts
  faint smile flutters next her lips
wave-enveloped, lurid flesh revealed
  enigmatic, wind-whipped ballet...

Ghostly arms, tapering to a scepter-finger
  limbs commence, melt into silent surf
cruel lips, melt into silent surf
  whisper, "Love me, Disembody, Love me"...

A Strange Being Among Us


Her majestic brightness shown from a galaxy far away,

dark matter in her eyes and scepter upon her head.

She that journeyed from where such powerful forces play,

chose we weak humans on earth to care for instead!

Chronology

Another solar journey hastened by.
Fading vestiges of the setting sun
Handed his scepter to the moonlit sky,
Signaling night's reign had begun.

The ceremony was repeated, in reverse.
Midnight's veil seemed hardly drawn
When sounded a rooster's crowing curse.
Ebony night kneeled to a golden dawn....

The King turned to the men to his left
To his right
And he asked:
Are you my men?
And they answered:
Not until you take your golden scepter to our heads
Will we take our copper scepters to our loyalties,
And so they rode
The race of man
Following their leaders over the cliff
The Diamond scepter of reality.

Surrounded by the darkened carnage in this valley...
Everywhere one turns and all they can see are endless
Glimpses reflections of her Babylon gasping for breath why
How be it that you cannot find, a love for all their human kind ?
What is your problem you silver spoon golden scepter worthless
Pieces of dung; littering the world with your blind mind, ignorance....

Cloning the emperor,
assuming the throne
knighted impostor,
unregally grown

With hell for a kingdom,
his scepter ignites 
flames burning memory,
a mirror’s delight

The queen held for ransom,
 a prince in his bed
jester on fire,
all subjects rebled 

A rival approaches,
the bishop a swan
his guillotine royal
—beheaded in song

(Beaupre: November, 2021)...

Now your crown lays broken
And your scepter duly snapped
Your feet so fleet now leaden
Your might of arm too, sapped.
Yet cling you to times due passed
And vainly hope for morrow bright
Your paltry breath would scarcely last
Sustained you still your burning pride
So quick to kneel and grind your head
To dust, so rightly blithe
Your noble soul demands be fed
Its wretched lust for life.

 Where Lightning and Stars Collab and the Eternal Awe Manifests
 and Descends through the Force Of Nature by Sheer Intellect,
 and the Sacred Rises and gives Form
 and Transcends the Ether to Step Forth,
 and the Great Alchemist Transcends and Illuminates
 and the Sacrosanct Scepter Emanates,
 Radiating in Eminence with Exuberant Luminance
 The Jewel Tipped Spear Of Heaven, Glistens The Innards Of Providence...

SINS OF THE COUNTRY
I watched the sign of sin and scenes 
 like white blood 
Without the cross for atonement
But I saw nothing but blank
No blood, no lords, no laws
It was intensifying like wildfire 
Never felt like hell fire 
It burnt my skin to death   
Thus,It was a rebirth
And I came out refined
Spangling like gold.
A demi-god
She is transformed
Holding the scepter
Of Satan.
Behold!
 The dawn  Of Armageddon....

There exists no more certain 
assassin of joy than that of
anger turned within.
Guilt’s grim scepter,
harrowed mind thus firmly wields,
and this with deft uncommon,
to bring renewed complaint
at slightest urge.
Senseless ruin whose
vapid tongue hisses
only self-derision’s name,
nobility to confound.
Slacken then this twisted cord
and in its place benign regret,
for guilt condemns the soul....

His vision seemed struggling
To leave the fleshy flaps,
As the destination was beyond
The gloomy dusk of generations.
Having known and forgotten
Everything around, within
And beyond his intellect
His scepter slipped off for ever.
Hercules dared not to trace,
Neither Oracle whispered the fate, 
Nor could Socrates define,
Only caused foreheads to bleed.
The wand glorious might have found
It's eternal abode in deepness infinite....

We were three, though unequal but warriors
Like the herdsmen we were
A glance tells of Our Genesis
All bound in one future

On our way came ghosts white
Scepter they posed  
Extorting and painting us white
Suddenly we woke, we the warriors

In extricate we intricate
Till they went as they came
Our dreams climaxed in one faith
Far not from there, one said to another

Thou are a ghost
What I heard was groans, our fate I know not....

Said my dream  
Life conjures
and you are the scepter.
So make magic.
Don’t live in me,
A bubble without light
that sees neither night or day,
walks you like a spider without eyes
only to the expanse of my web.
Prayers and obsession in your own broken clock.
Pendulum swing is fixed. 
Pierce your bubble,
get out,
breathe,
and let the light awake your soul.
Find the zest in life
and walk you proud
