The Hydra

Head by head, the hydra's dead

Beastly body built of dread

Hostage in my own homestead

Not this life, I live instead

Broke all necks of snake and shoot

Slayed each mouth that spoke untruth

Pried my power from its hooves

Fire was mine to wield and use

Don't think I can't kill you too -

Die now parasitic noose

Play Ball

Clay dolls -

Play ball!

Form a field of dreams in matter

Pitcher, catcher, batter, outer

Is this where the kingdom's at, or

Do you doubt your depth of power?

First base, rat race

Second base, time waste

Third base, fall from grace

Fourth base, home 

Home is where the heart is, humans

You are not alone

Mothers and Others

Because I perceive

A lack of belief

Historically weaving through my family tree -

I presently wish

To atone for this

Right here in my place on our earth's time and space

Divinely inclined -

I'll share what I find

And bring all this beauty I see to the light

For light is inside

Always, all the time

Sometimes it just needs other lights to help shine

Within I

I pretend that the trains are the tides

That the cars are all waves crashing by

Just the same as the planes try to fly

Like the birds they've observed in our sky 

All these words from the worlds in my mind

All my lives along lines we call time -

On a wheel, and not real, would I lie?

It's a war, and one won within I

She Speaks

Gena's from Venus and that's how we met

We've been more places in space you can bet -

But we originate where they're well dressed

String bling bikinis or pink puffy vests

There's not a season to look a hot mess

We think Athena's the dream bachelorette

She speaks to freedom and music and sex

Not meant to stop, sorry we've got to jet -

We'll blow a kiss from our Barbie Corvette

It's from our hearts, and that's how love's said best

Special Antiseptic

Quill pen, feather duster -

What all can we do with wings?

Bring down dreams, clean up things

Clear out our conditioning

Healing doesn't have to sting

Sleeping Emperor

Oops, did I pin

My divinity

On him

Again?

(Lowercase h)

Was he only looking

At a sleeping emperor

No one else could see

And inadvertently 

Waking me

On his way

Away?

And were it not now

For all of those I lead

And everyone in need

Of me

I would go

Back to sleep

To grieve
