Pretty Like

Crystal cluster grows in ground
On the path I'm walking down
Issues an etheric sound
Like my heart its rhythm pounds
In this geode I have found
Brilliant light is weaved and wound
Neatly tied and tightly bound
Pretty like my princess crown
Oval, arrow, rhombus, round
Rural, urban, city, town
Basil green or mustard brown
Different but we turn your frown

His Dynasty

Wooden dragon of the east
Beautiful benefic beast
7 mansions overseas
Winding his way westernly
I can feel him in my tree
In the knothole opening
He's intently watching me
And does not know that I see
At this highest deity 
I look back so curiously 
Touch his bark and blessed be
Suddenly he is set free
Light from stars above release
Coat our souls in calm and peace
We walk new territory
He brought me his dynasty

Marcos

Pisces fish between 2 horses
Water moon with fire forces
River winding through a fortress
Out the ocean that is Marcos
No restrictions or embargos
Aiming arrows at the cosmos
Dos Equis and Desperados
Writing rhymes and speaking sorrows
Medic/martial artist combo
Making magic as he mambos
Always Enamorandonos
Plays your heartstrings and the bongos
Puerto Rican poet's party
Left his mark out in Hawaii
Double Sag with much malarkey 
A good friend and guy entirely

Demeter's Daughter

Poseidon and Demeter's daughter
Atlantis is my alma mater
Sleeping soundly in sea water
'Til I wake up pissed at father
Swim ashore and make an offer
'Cause I find land-walkers hotter
Although often not much smarter
Here I'm working ten times harder
Lure him off the yacht he charters
Bumps his noggin something awful
Swim him to my secret harbor
Hold his hand just like we're otters
Make him think he's off his rocker
Sure he'd finally gone and caught her
Mermaid princess woman proper
But by morning I'm a goner
Hears my humming and my laughter
Smells me in the seashore aster
Sees me in his dreams like Casper
Haunted by me here on after
I say hi in siren sonar
But I mustn't wander too far
Ever an aquatic loner
It's the ocean that I honor

Music Maker

From my position on a swing
I count up all the things with wings
And all the medicines they bring
Will they work on behalf of me?
Upon a butterfly I ping
I send her south by whistling 
To follow notes and guitar string
Until the sound becomes a scene
She brings a wind shaman who sings
The music maker of my dreams
A yellow sun canary king
The dragonfly to join my team

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
