Action Art

Fire is a vehicle
Action art in ritual
One part war with whimsical 
All-important, integral
Light a match and let it go
Oxygen unto it blow
Fan the flame and watch her grow
Phoenix from once crawling low
Final stage of Scorpio
Breaking through a given mold
Soaring over status-quo
So Much for the Afterglow

Flower Water

Flower water, blow it through
Crossing California soon
Off my lips into the blue
From my heart and onto you
Which one is your favorite scent?
What would cause you to relent?
Jasmine, lilac, hyacinth?
Can I catch you with fragrance?
Honeysuckle, says the bee
He thinks it would help you see
When it wafts to you by breeze
You'll know you belong with me

Many Moods

Apologies if I am flawed
Ever always asking God
Please let me see what you saw
When I came here in this pod
Lend me an archangel's help
Ancestors and ancient Celts
Roman, Grecian, Bible Belt
Any one or thing heartfelt 
Purify the thoughts I choose
Balance out my many moods
Bad karma and attitudes
Without caffeine and/or 'ludes
Steer me from what does disrupt
Give me grace and lots of luck
Send a boy to say what's up
Make it so life doesn't suck

29th Degree

These forces at work
How badly they hurt
The A on my shirt
This poisoned dessert
The pulleys, the strings
Past lives behind scenes
They haunt me in dreams
Sleepwalk me to things
Attempt to rewrite
To run from my plight
Control and I fight
You sentence, indict
29th degree
Can't Shake The Disease
Die on my trapeze
Because you drop me

Serpent Skirt

Four deaths that stalk mankind
Crawl down a family line
It's time I change my mind
And create by design
Erase these olden tales
Of mangled masts and sails
Of dead-end roads and trails
Of fallen dreams and fails
I am only my breath
Not anything that's said
No need to shave my head
I shed my skin instead
This is my serpent skirt
I give her back to earth
Burn bridges at the hearth
And step into my work
I rewrite life with light
Delete the pain and blight
Forgive all foes and fright
I came to make this right

Ophelia

I believe I've been a monk
This life's like I'm being punked
Perhaps I'm in purgatory
Dead and buried, mortuaried
Standing still and staring scary
Only felt by fae and fairy
To this earth I'm bound and married
How much karma can I carry?
I hear circus music playing
Endless hall of mirrors displaying
Only me and I am praying
See myself in water laying
Like Ophelia and saying
I'm incapable of staying

Pluto's Direction

Gaining speed and getting traction
Rolling full force into action
Goes direct and takes no prisoners
Damn torpedos, runs with scissors
Cruel to dreamers and to wishers
It's for open eyes and listeners
Out of retrograde reflection
End to idle introspection
May your prayers provide protection
Pluto's changing its direction
