The Weather

Jess, a Capricorn 
One wondering why she's born
She's poring through her natal chart for why she's come to form
Was she a letter torn?
A dress that wasn't worn
Now Saturn's sent a stellium in her with which to warn
It's she who is the storm
Both wintry and warm
One weathering no matter what her way wishes to harm
A staple standing strong 
She's climbing up and on
From doe to goat of sea to sky whose life is right and long

Fire Alarm

Forest fire that guards my moon
Backdraft up against monsoon
Wave of flames outside my womb
Mustn't let me speak too soon
Give my love away to whom
Steals my cake, pops my balloon
Sinks a knife in my cocoon 
Stabs my heart and leaves the room
Bleeds me out inside my tomb
Does this do me good or harm?
Out of reach, at length of arm
Lonely Goetherd on her farm
Chicken dinner missing parm
What use are my wit and charm?
Trapped behind this fire alarm

Our Lilian

Live in the moment, our Lilian insists
For time is a crime that's designed to restrict
She's down here from Venus where Earth is a myth
A Libra to teach us the present's a gift
That planing is pandering to thieves and bandits
Control and cajoling by trolls and such twits
Her wish is to open our eyes up to this
To show us what truly is making us tick
That love is the stuff that does turn this planet
Bring beauty and balance and kindness to it

Ferdinand

Ferdinand and bumble bee
Beside his flowers, beneath his tree
In love with life and all beauty 
Who knows that very secretly
Inside his heart and underneath
He's bored with all the hierarchy 
With fighting and accomplishing
For matadors inside their rings 
Instead he'd like to come to me
A girl of his soul family
To whom he has been listening 
Whose learned to change her energy
To speak and issue boundaries
And clear her karmic balancing
My bull of grace and power too
Beware the ones who harness you
You'll do the work they want you to
And not what you came here to do

My Message

Mermaid kisses, Pisces fishes
Neptune's net awash in wishes
Pearls in curls and tangled tresses
Sin with fins in seaweed dresses
Lure in men to depths and deathses
No, not I, no lie, not wretched 
Send your heart to sea, I'll fetch it
Bring your dream to me, I'll bless it
Share your darkest deeds, my precious 
Unbottle and read my message

Fully Formed

From Heaven in my rage I'm torn
Away from skies my stars adorn
Into this tiny human born
On fire with ire and lit with scorn
Still reeling, my last life I mourn
I've told my soul and to it sworn
I'd speak my piece and blow my horn
I'd finally harvest all this corn
No matter leech nor locust swarm
Resistance or electric storm
My gift is this and fully formed

Earth Odyssey

Earth to a Space Oddity
Join us on an odyssey
Por favor and pretty please
They could use your company
We will wipe your memory
Blend your friends and enemies
Foe within your family
With you they will not agree
Then send men who stoically 
Hide their hearts historically 
Use your skills accordingly
Planets and your poetry
Open them emotionally
Help us heal them, hopefully

Angel Cake

Of asteroids from outer space
Entwined with vines that interlace
Combined with wine and angel cake
Inclined to shine and instigate
Perfected in God's Easy-Bake
With lovely lines and interface
Sent down from stars at Heaven's gate
I'm served with bird and wound with snake
On spitting fire and spinning plates
At home on domes and in earthquakes
Disguised in geysers and great lakes
I spin through wind on coastal capes
I'm everywhere and anyplace 

The Ticket

One cannot take from you
Internal revenue 
A wild west within
Step right on up and in
My ladies, gentlemen 
The ticket to attend
Dead-center, straight as pin
Bonanza, bullseye, win
It's you, that's who, the end

Two Birds, One Life

From killing men 
To healing them
A launching pad
A racer rad
Turned on myself 
God knows who else
Extreme, I know
Immensely so
I'll make it right
Two birds, one life
I'm sorry and
I'll make amends

UFO

I own a UFO, you know
It's dressed in sexy silver tone
Teflex impressed with ribbon bows
With lights lit up like lunar nodes
I take it nights to Tokyo
Tibet, Tawain, and Kokomo
Nepal, New York, and Mexico
To meet extra terrestrials
New friends, fun men, and other souls
Eat Dippin Dots and sloppy joes
Play Uno cards and read tarot
Jump hopscotch, rope, and rodeo
From Dusk till Dawn until I go
Back home to roam my capitol
I'll meet you day or evening, yo
Please be prepared to party though

The Dead

The dead in my head
Beside me in bed
Outside in my shed
Around me in web
I'm not scared, instead
I go where I'm led
I follow this thread
Record what they've said
Their word I then spread
Remix it, you've read
For this, I've been bred

Your Verse

A day that you seize 
It goes endlessly 
The show does not cease
It's on constantly
Long after you leave
Things grow from your seed
In life's poetry
What will your verse be?

By Heart

Got my Gwen Stefani bindi 
Walking in the sun like Cyndi
Out in space with Mork & Mindy
Inbetween like darling Wendy
In my garden, eat me/drink me
Lost at sea, in stars, completely 
Call on me by heart if need be
I'll be in my lamp with Genie

Make Up

Against my self and soul - a crime
Of wasting talents of my mind
Avoiding truth, denying sign
Restricting signals from divine
My health in shambles and decline
From years in fear and on sidelines
For this I pay a fee and fine
I think exclusively in rhyme
Compelled to spell where I'm behind
To make up for this missing time 
My wish, just this: through it to find
My counterpart and kindred kind

Collective Conscious

This art that you appreciate
These artists you so celebrate
You sing along, pontificate
Lay back and watch what others make
Get drunk, and high, and medicate
Quote Kerouac and Willy Shakes
Write papers on how they're so great
Then mock me, send me side-eye hate
For veering off your boilerplate
Hello McFly, I can't relate
And I will give it to you straight
You ever stop to think - hey wait
Perhaps I can participate 
How do they come up with, create?
These gifts and talents you equate
With high IQ's and genius traits
The point where they originate
It's a collective conscious state
Expression is unique, innate
But we all have this access, mate
Turn on, tune in, for goodness sake

Caretake

Unlock my heart-shaped garden gate
Collapse in coral bells and wait 
Into my tuberose escape
To heaven-scented sugarscapes
In this my mystic meadow place
I've made no messes nor mistakes
I've caused no harm or hearts to break
I'm given penance, pardon, grace
A smile is spreading 'cross my face
For when the winds stir me awake
I'm free as flowers as I caretake

Matching Moons

My grandma Peggy
Born 1920
A Virgo like me
And matching moonsies
A Scot overseas
With hair like Lucy
To Texas, to see
What else there might be
Back in the forties
(I mean the nineteens)
A cowgirl from green
John Wayne with Maureen 
You find what you need?
I'll keep on looking

Bobby

Bobby the Iranian
Thought I was a lesbian
'Cause I wouldn't sleep with him
Stayed at home with pad & pen
Engineer and atheist 
Said I was the craziest
American that he'd witnessed
Analyst and anarchist 
True, I wasn't made for it
Up and left that damn office
Sealed with my ass to kiss
Like him, I go where I wish

Mr. Lotta

Chris's Father - Charles Lotta
Taught of Dot and bush koalas
Kangaroo and duckbill plata
Fairy bread and egg pavlova
Played us didge and said we gotta
Be authentic, always oughta
Spoke of music's healing powers
Poems and prose and pretty flowers
Asked of us we honor ours
And I do all day, each hour

IOU

An IOU
Oh yes, you do!
A raincheck too
And I cash you

Kin

Neptunian, Shakespearean 
We've met inside our skies again
Musician and an alien
Astrologess and magician
Through sign and rhyme and time we bend
By birds and butterflies we send
On dragonflies and hyacinths
Near friends who feel we play pretend 
That we belong in looney bins
No matter, pay no mind to them
This is the way we find our kin
