I keep rising with
the AIR - sign

navigating
my solar powered wings
over a 7 day forecast

Watching out of observation windows
from a 12 story complex
I saw my lucky numbers
playing tic-tac-toe
with my daughter
and my dauhter won
...guess I ain't so lucky after all...

On Friday
I considered myself fortunate
that my old man
didn't find out about
the Financial Affair I'd been
having with Dow Jones~
a man whose variables
had been successful
at misleading the
unpredictable side of me

A twelve story complex ...
Or are they charted as
12 'houses'
rented on the horizon
of doubled hours
with the Zodiac
as my landlord
guarding
a prolifc project or
an ascendant's tenement

And they say time waits for ............ ??

Natural wheel turning
due east; counter clockwise
stops on communication trails --
Flashing neon (light) life (signs) sighs
reads Open For 24 Hour A(xis)cess
providing regular consumers with
free drinks of 'individuality'
as long as you don't get full of yourself...

I wear adaptive mood rings
that change the
color of Mercury to match
an October birth stone
standing as Osirus
the sun is Set
and from the opposite
a double iris' sat at the
base of uneven scales
to be balanced by the
hot tempered reflection
emitted from
the coolness of
Amber stones
in my eyes

With common (sense) of direction
I take refuge in daydreaming
and booking flights of fancy
on air lined impressions

There are still
12 houses to visit
on 10 different planets
I keep reading each page
and slowly
turning to the next
as if I had an appointment
that was made
to be kept
in another life

I never made it to the after life--
in my past life

Jupiter ... held me hostage
He said that
my ransom was knowledge
- but spirituality set me free
then I counted my
lucky stars and thanked them
one by one

Astrology leaves me empty
all my energies disbursed
to each their four directions

Water flows freely
until ... **** ...

A river never returns to
its Original source
but I'm patient so I'll wait
for it to take me wherever it's going...

The search for higher learning steered me
to my destination -- as if we had
shared something in common
maybe we did?
... Could it have been
Destiny?

I had a tasteless lunch on Venus
with my good friend Aphrodite
...she was sweet and self indulgent

but, I don't eat sweets

So I should have said good-bye
to her before we placed our orders...

I thank the heavens
that the moon is not
jealous in her luminescence

In the 40 odd seconds it takes
for my eyes to adjust
to the moonlight
after the lights go out
I've satisfied an elusive
phenomenon -- LOVE.

And no one ever bothered
to tell me that abstraction
glows in the dark
or was it clairvoyance's
night light?

Confessing to a congregation
of constellations they are
all judging my character
listening to my testimony
centered in the skies
of compassion
below the sun's apparent
path of righteousness

They come together collectively
gathered round to hear the
sounds of harmony and
from my soul I speak the
confessions
of
a
Libra
