Totem and Talismam

I talk to totems and to trees

To butterflies and bumblebees

To tailismans and tarot reads

Departed friends and to Ritchiiiiieeeee!

I ask my angels, heckos please?

And this is how they're answering 

When I woke up and chose to see

To walk from what seemed so sturdy

They brought you as a gift to me

I say okay, so why'd he leave?

I hear, has your life been a beach?

You're meant to learn and grow through grief

To turn your light on and to teach

To open up your mouth and speak

And with your wings and writing reach

A lightning bug and lion chief 

El Capitan

El Capitan

I'm not your fan

I will not pay to see your band 

Nor blow you in your touring van

No soy a sailor, mi soul fam

Not second fiddle to a man

I'm equal to and no less than

Fine Print

My astral brothel's gone offline

Please see the fine print on the sign

That if you'd like to be so kind

Do make a move and up your mind

I'm hard to crack but not to find

On sacred space in northern pine

I'm in your wild west this time

I ride with rhyme and to remind

A solar eclipse doesn't shine

Don't use the moon to hide behind

Kona Coffee

Kona coffee, mornings when

I'm the pride of my island

I may never hear my men

Tell me what I mean to them

If they wish to trap and pin

Mason jar the light I lend

I will not be their victim

I'll leave and we'll both ascend

I've been asked to go within

Be like water and the yin

Now I'm proud, and in the end

So is my creator then

The Outer

On the outer, looking in

Left to die by my lions

Furthest ring of Saturn spins

Forcing me in cold again

Throwing me to wolves that grin

Tearing me from limb to limb

Lord how they have worn me thin

Help me get away from them

I will never let them win

Bring me to new friends and kin

Ones who love and compliment 

Girl Circus

Acrobatic reaper cheater

Dagger eater, fire breather

Rafter swinger in the theatre

Tightrope walker of the ether

Ringmaster of men beneath her

Aerial until they need her

Lion tamer in the bleachers

Healer in his tent and teacher

Circe is quite the creature feature

Carnival both sun and secret

Reprise

Attempt again, so many tries

Contemptuous til I despise 

To love the one you're with at night

Despite to feel it isn't right

Some days so bad I'd wish he'd die

Be contemplating suicide

Like it would lift me from our ties

To free me from my house of flies 

My bed of lies and back of knives

In name of being kind and nice

In sympathy, for compromise 

It wasn't what I want in life

I nearly met my own demise

But encore encore and reprise 

I chose to be myself and rise

Lennon Mentions

Sin we fell in broke our trust 

Independence frightens us

If in wind we're only dust

Why then not succumb to lust

Lennon mentions laugh at love

Tiny death in sex and drugs

Let's not look for light in stuff

We are what we're conscious of

Sleep in Trees

Princess with this pea displeased

Goldilocks but not these three

Where's a bed that's best for me

How high can I hope to be

How far can this fairy see

How close can I be to free

Can I use the stars as sheets

Yes, for rest to reach my needs 

I shall sleep in redwood trees

Medium Fry

A medium fry
Wave aloha/hi

To souls who've said bye

Storm's center, the eye

I stand still inside

A middle child, try

To mediate my

And everyone's lives

Besiege or belie

I see from all sides

Including who's died

The Craft

I read rainbows in the showers that drop diamonds in my grass

These are jewels I use as tools that I can spend the same as cash

I spin pendulums in solar winds for questions you may ask

I'm in multiple dimensions and see Days of Future Passed

I'm the selkie in your sink water and buoys in your bath

I'm a riptide in your ocean and I'll drag you back to path

I make magic in each moment and from every mundane task

But won't hesistate to excavate and take away what's trash

I find fire in frustration and will weld with all my wrath

I'll play games with every flame from each relationship that's crashed

I am meant to pen, see into them, and stencil from the ash

I have sent for kin as dreamt by him, through way of this - my craft

In Disguise

A geisha in another life 

Your fantasy and never wife

Two souls enrolled in constant strife

We're back as cats in black and white

What must we trust to make this right?

For me I see with my insight

Green tea, I steep and seek inside

A tree, I reach beyond bonsai

War not with words or kaiken knives

Nor score with spores that siphon lives

Why dwell at doors that won't oblige

A chore which bores just isn't wise

My choice to voice vanilla skies

To read and lead by light in eyes

Agree, you'll see, my samurai 

It's me, the empress, in disguise

Synesthesia

In amnesia, when unclear

Listen to your heart to hear

Synesthesia, No More Tears

See then what I've known for years

Shakti-Shiva, show no fear

What without your Guinevere?

Aniketa, home is here

I reside inside your mirror

Crystal Ball

In the tin of my tea leaves

To my mug of mysteries

Sweet in selenite I see

Crystal smiling secretly

Scorpio who knows Hades

Double lioness that leads

Heart of gold which holds her key

Northern node in family -

She was heading home like me

Asks of me to please repeat:

Michael, mother, mon amie

Brothers, others, my cherie 

May I make your minds at ease

I am here at home in peace

A Beautiful Game

One memory of mine distinct

Our contract cut in moonlight ink

On paper pressed with petals pink

A scroll that's old and soft as mink

The game to change, estrange, and sink

Like Battleship meets Tiddlywinks

The bond we've drawn and signed in sync 

It lists where we will interlink

Constricts as we resist instinct

Insists we rift and then rethink

Antennai touch and glasses clink

We kiss and sip our Martian drinks

Return to learn on balance beams

I'll see you in your dreams, earthling

Other Otter

Other otter, made in two's

I am pink and you are blue

Sent to sea to start anew

Level up and follow through 

Float away from all askew

Do not do as others do

Feet are webbed and feelings true

Take us where we're going to

Rivers mix and meld into

Confluence of me and you

Open Up

Open mind that makes me wise

Open ears which hear no lies

Open hands and open eyes

Open up to open skies

I release and say goodbye 

Turn the lights up and surprise!

Open up my heart, and hi

Opportunities arrise

Silent Lions

Silent lions, hiding men

Cannot see, but I feel them

Doing what inside my den

Are they violent or a friend

What's their motive and intent

Will they move or make attempt

I don't wish to war or win

I love every element 

Maiden saying go within

Only know that we're even

Auryn

See an Auryn symbol sign

Touch it trying to unwind

Can you cut the ties that bind

Are you stuck in space in time

Yes and no, but so reminds

We are one and intertwined 

Wolves to dogs of every kind

Sharks through fish to shrimp in brine

Meet your maker and align

All that is is of divine

Sitter, Sitar

Escape your cave, outsmart Jafar

Ignite your lamp and carpet car

I am both princess and Zoltar

Do let me read your soul and stars

Come be my sitter, play sitar

Please have a seat and a cigar

Show me your palm and pick a card

I'll calm all qualms and lift your guard 

Inside my eyes, by my memoirs

You will remember who you are

Awaken latent ancient power

And dance in sands of lands of ours

Disarmer charmer, snake and heart 

Magician mister, music darts

Practitioners esoteric arts

We're rulers, schoolers, counterparts

An Eleven

Stagnant Saturn, lattice pattern

On a master eleven

Shattered fragments, how'd this happen

Harnessed coming from Heaven

Honey sour, wilted flower

In the hive he's locked down in

Love is power, all that matters

Don't become a distraction 

Warrior Wherever

Hit a drum and here again

I am a Plains Indian

In and out with a rhythm

Changing only skin I'm in

Where do I begin and end

Who am I inside a wind

Out the smoke of my incense

Through the doorways of descents

Past the pain of my parents

Warrior wherever sent

You will know just what I meant

This lifetime is no different
