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 Tailsman

I talk to totems and to trees
To butterflies and bumblebees
To tailsman 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
