Obsidian

Human obsidian, black lava rock

I'm what you were wanting, but not how you thought

I rip through meridians where they've been blocked 

Exhuming insidious crap that's been caught

What's holding you hostage I see like a hawk

And much like the merciless raven I knock

Defenses? I'm sent with equipment to drop

With God as my witness, I will never stop

To Last

I will work until I pass

Then I'll send ideas in mass

From each story in my stash

All the animals I ask

Flower petals from my past

Future faces yet unmasked

Every incantation cast

Inch of intel I amass 

All I write and telecast 

What I do is done to last

Bring About

Saturn, how I see myself

Neptune, what I know but doubt

Mars in what I bring about

Venus, how I balance out

Mercury, my pretty mouth

Jupiter, a joyous crowd

Moon, make sure I'm on my route

Sun, stay with and shine throughout

Communicate

Out of time in outer space

On my own at my own pace

From my heart and in my place

With my God and by His grace

I commune and I create

This I then communicate 

I relay and we relate 

With my words articulate 

We are all love incarnate

You Knew

You knew you were beautiful, knew you were blessed 

You knew you were talented - more than the rest

You knew when you landed how you'd manifest

You knew you could build at your every behest

You knew not to screw with these truths God had set

You knew not to prove you could do that, and yet...

You moved with your head from your heart when we met

So too how you knew would your blues be in step

You knew, you still do, I do too, so reset

A Body

A body of water, a body of work

The body of Christ via bread in a church 

A heavenly body in our universe

The body electric as was Whitman's verse

A body to hold all our light here on Earth

A shop to repair where this body's been hurt

A body of evidence 'til we are sure

Our God is benevolent, holy, and pure 

Flower in the Snow

Flower in the snow

Wisdom with her from the go

Sun inside and knew also

He would meet her should she grow

Greeting weary, lost and cold

Steering hearts from stranglehold

Bringing beauty, bright and bold

Crocus melted through her mold

Cherries

Chocolate chip fairy, with

Fudge dipped strawberries, her

Locks whipped like dairy, and

Lips dark red cherries, all

Swiss Miss mix sherry, with

Kix, Trix, Boo Berry, come 

Crystal Ship ferry, kiss

Mistress meets Mary

Edenia

Kombat of the mortal kind

Elder God on Earthrealm time

Very hot but hard to find

I'll be in Edenia, I'm...

Not the type to fight for mine 

Danburite

Disintegrating from my sight

I do not see my danburite

So peer into my mirror just right

He has it in his bed tonight 

Beside his sea and by moonlight

Inside the sheet he's tucked in tight

Beneath an amulet that fights

He holds it to his heart each night

To open him to his insight

And whispers from a water sprite

By midnight oil, come morning light

Pursue the path you'd like in life

Sun Bath

Sun bath, summer glow

Tiki hut and tropico

Lemonade and lava flow

Tipi at my volcano

Take it easy, do it slow

I will make your face on O

Off a cliff and on the go

Out of town and at a show

Look at me and yell YOLO

Know I don't believe it though

Paradise is play for pros

You and me are legato

Boundaries Breathe

My boundaries breathe, are sentient - see

They know where who goes and what's following me

Glow snow white and silver to gold if need be

Throw hindsight and timber of old at misdeeds 

So easily indicate those who deceive 

They give no admission to energy thieves 

There's never permission to threaten my peace 

You'll wear your intentions and heart on your sleeve

Katie's Dragons

Katie's dragons left behind

Killer color-coded kind

Flowers from a friend of mine

Faces of the fire signs

Striving as the sunlight shines

Snapping at the power lines

When I weep my water finds

Them asleep each evening time

In our grief we seek to find

Pull us from this paradigm

Hocus Pocus

Hocus Pocus, here's my opus

My whole heart and all my focus

Has been on my art and voice as

I've been in this vacuum void that's

Had me mad and often hopeless

But my work's my way to cope with

So I rose and wrote and spoke it

Passion is my path to purpose 

Everywhere I go I know this

Love and Work

In love and work

I was a jerk

Apparently, per chart at birth

It has its perks

I guess, on Earth

But what's it worth?

To harm, to hurt

For something I thought I deserved 

This life I've learnt

Through being burnt

Just what's of substance and concern

So things I say

All I convey

And everything I do all day

It is to love

To heal, to hug

Now how it feels is how I judge

A Woodpecker

A woodpecker he's made of me

I hammer at my honey's tree

For him to hear and me to see

How beautiful one boy can be

It seems that I knock senselessly 

Still I persist relentlessly 

Each gift we're sent is meant to seed

I act in authenticity

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
