Stay as a good balancer,

 Improve your skill of sensor.

A Clear will leads your nature.
 Head for the better future.
Watch your spiritual breakdown.
 Make better your mind structure.

Mystique

Smiling, I read my tarot,
It said, "Go with the flow,"
Asked the faucet, you know,
Washing machine did overflow,
"Your gifts are for the world!
Positive vibes, old girl,
I mopped the floor, okay,
Go with the flow, this is today!

Premium MemberThe Turn of an Unfriendly Card

Turn of An Unfriendly Card
(Tarot 3 of Swords)

I cannot empathize with a shattered heart.
That image of a fragile, breakable baby pink orb
Is insulting to how I feel.
The turn of an unfriendly card depicts three swords
thrust into a still beating heart
I feel the sliver blade of that first sword
plunge hard, deep and succinctly.
I gasp with the

Sojourn through Tarotspace

SOJOURN THROUGH TAROTSPACE

Let me tell you a story,
Of a deck of cards, in all its glory.
Well, some will say, what’s the big deal?
To them my humble reply, come, conquer, and heal.

The story is my take,
On art, of an ancient age.
Tarochhi as it first evolved.
In Milan & Ferrara- getting masses involved.
Adorned in Ivory, Silver & Gold,
Painted

Premium Member4 Swords

4 sullen swords 
4 truncated tombs
4 comatose clocks
4 querulous quatrains

We of the Absurd
We of the Timed Out
We of the Checked Out
We of the Hanged

our candle-like Keywords
wax and wane UPRIGHT
cough up the REVERSED card
confined in blunted light

enter the Knight of Keyboards
spiritless warrior
brandishing weeping sword
time for The Rest

Good Path

It’s 9 pm, and still no luck
Two of wands, and still no plans,
How to get to dreaming,
To my start and to the ceiling,
All these songs and kings will die,
Before the World Tree turns its eye,
Which amongst the athames’ll hit,
Six, Seven or none?
‘Cause I’m already done…
Nature take me to the Moon,
And bless me to get in

Tarot Fortune

Is she the modern Rapunzel
And all of the misfortunes out there
Are just one big evil entity?
“I’m not going to hurt you”?is the typical horror film line
That always pulls the main character
Down to their demise
All this vile and tears clogged up inside
Sick of it
Tired of it
Hopefully the pieces come back together again
Two clocks out of synchronization
One

Premium MemberThe Tarot Death Card

The soothsayer turned over the death card.
The old guy who claimed he did not believe nearly died.
Clutched his heart, began having palpitations.
It does not mean a human death, she told him.
It means the death of one concept, to give life to another.
You mean like the death of a job, so I can have a better

Premium MemberShe Is Not Merely a Soothsayer

She distributes the wands and the cups.
Her client taps a card, choosing it.
The death card comes up.
The client gasps.
She takes her hand and begins to explain.
She has Bambi brown eyes, and a kind soul.
The client settles down, wanting to believe 
in her explanation, in the cards, in a happily ever after.
She is not merely a

Premium MemberMeeting Tarot Card Mama

I am known as Tarot Card Mama our Bohemian dressed hall advisor said.
My roommate and I spoke of it later, thought she was daft in the head.
By midweek we saw most of the laughter was coming from TCM’s room.
We were invited to her tarot sessions, they were put out on a Zoom.

Let’s do it, we

Ninth

duskfall creature,
tipsy on the blood of the covenant,
tell me, when did you pull the ninth card?
when your fangs grew in
and your eyes grew tired,
what made you build the castle walls?

the sunlight burns, you protest,
every silver-backed mirror a reminder to forget.
close the books, put down your stakes,
because the real world doesn’t work like that, creature of

delight and hope resonate into my truth
I am glad I stopped at this seer's table today
This card was the one I was hoping to see
Out of all the cards, it is an optimistic healer
Renewal and rejuvenation are within my reach
My spirit leaps with a joy I had not seen for awhile
i feel inspired to reinvent

Everything Is Not Okay

The winds howling through the roof
Booming down on the metal
About to crash down in any minute now
The wolf banging on the door
Luring us to open it
The black bloody hands
Clawing through the cracks
To our deaths
I’ve been down, down, down
The rain plummeting
Down
In my head and
In my heart
When alll of it seems to be going
Against you
The waves slapping
