Sunrise
Believe in her as she rises from the waves, for all men are her slaves ~ Homer, The Iliad
Not feeling so good I took myself down to the sea to pray, and as always I was struck my the ever-changing mystic beauty of the shore, the sunrise, and the distant waves combined into one wonderful seascape. The North Sea isn’t the azure sun kissed Mediterranean, and the raucous scream of the gulls isn’t the musical voice of an Aphrodite, and yet after a while just standing there I felt healed. The sea is everything that I would wish to be; beautiful, mysterious, ever changing, wild and free. Given that only a short while ago I suffered a life-threatening traumatic brain injury, I count myself very lucky to be able to even see, let alone appreciate the glory of the world we live in. Perhaps a Goddess watches over me.

the song of the moon
I saw the crescent ~ you saw the whole of the moon
~
I see truth when I see you
I hear the song of the moon
and when I hear your voice
whispering the heavenly tune
I see the rainbow above
and when I feel your touch
you do so much to me
lifting my deepest gloom
with each beat of my heart
I know that I’m in love
for my world is you

if he lives with an open heart
each man shall find his Venus
Sunday Prayer
Goddess, if there is a Goddess, please listen to my prayer.
Please help me to cleanse my body, mind, emotions, and spirit of the poisons that have infected and tortured me.
Please help me to cleanse myself of all that is no longer necessary in my life. Help me towards a new beginning.
Help me to make good decisions, especially concerning what should happen when I am not around.

In the wilderness, one’s spirit grows closer to your Goddess
say it isn’t so
~
tell me that you’re not so dissatisfied
tell me that you haven’t really lied
tell me that the games you play
are girl talk to send me away
I should never have cried
our love has never died
Venus, say it isn’t so
say it isn’t so

sibilant soft silverness
tumescent foaming whiteness
exquisite ethereal lightness
of brilliant Venus
torments my sad
devotion to the hopelessness
of honest love’s caress
by a sinless silent sea

Daughters of the Night
Aurora Goddess of the Dawn
Hesperus the Evening Star
the radiance of Venus splendor
discovered in gentle beams
love’s cherished eventide falls
upon intimate twilight dreams

dreams and seascapes
casual cruelty
shattered dreams, shattered souls, shattered surf
life is pain in perpetual perfection
she will steal your dreams and break your heart
you gaze at the stars in reflection
they are dimmed and blurred, red giant, white dwarf
she is the morning star Venus
and she will tear you apart
just to see you cry broken and hopeless
Kiss, fuck, kiss, part ~ forever
