Oda A La Musa (Rare Bilingual Edition)

Oda A La Musa


Ella es La Estrella


Quien symboliza lo que sella

[ Hembra sagrada de Sagitta ]

Aunque talvez no lo sabe

Causa el saber cuando este loco se agita

Por esa alma gitana

Arquera sobre el puente

Te edifico otro verso Magnipotente:

Vamos centauro |) - -'`===> tu flecha encanta

Como un flamenco del Mauro!

Translation (Ode To The Muse):

She is The Star

Whom symbolizes what she seals

[ Sacred female of Sagitta ]

Although she may not know it

She causes knowing when this madman stirs

Roused by her gypsy soul

Archer over the bridge

We raise you another Magniloquent verse:

Let's go centaur |) - -'`===> your arrow enchants

Like a Moorish flamenco!

Avian Auguries

The Eagle never lost so much time as when he submitted to learn of the Crow.”

~ William Blake; Proverbs of Hell


Avian Auguries


Ever since the grand Conference of The Birds
Those warbles of wisdom have gone unheeded.

Nowadays rare Aves fly in via the feeder's
fenêtre, and peck at what seed they can get.

Picking that which suits according to need;
Nary an awe-inspiring deed. But brook no regret —

While Osprey and Kingfisher compete
We carry on with Metaphysical conceit:

A solitary Nightingale sobs softly to be freed.
Ibis bills are crooked, unlike the Great Egret.

Aquila and Cygnus scattered across cosmos as screed
Give this sextet many an aigrette for anybody's tête!

Blue Crystal Eagle


Blue Crystal returns
Reflecting newest Light —

Earth and Sky
Teachings to become
Laws of Time

Cosmic Sagas
Planetary Visions
Galactic in Scope

Universal Symbols —
Giving Infinite Hope!

In Yucatec Mayan: Men = 'Eagle'. In Quiche Mayan, Tz'ikin = 'bird'. Those are the names of this glyph; our hallowed Kin representing a quintessential Wavespell!

♘ Year of The Cavalier ♞

Author's Note: For context regarding this year's predictions from several Feng-Shui Masters, refer to this article > Chinese New Year 2014



Year of The Cavalier


First new moon touches perigee now as Venus goes direct
The time to draw one's bow and aim is over 
No further need to reflect ...

Unless your sign be equine
Then hold your horses still
Though they're champing at the bit
Close the stable door
Or bolt beyond, those broncos will

Wooden Trojan stallion stand silently in wait
Flames of war burning all around 
Can consume at any rate

Reign in thy steed noble knight
From high and haughty saddle
Must thee occasionally dismount
Lead ponies down to water's edge
Let them drink of their own account

Against symbolic windmills, like Don Quijote bravely tilt
Head cavalry through its last heroic hurdle
Upon mustang thy blood spilt!

Image: Don Quijote by Gustave Dore.

Leo Ascending

NOTE: For a more thorough Leo forecast, see: Horoscope 2016.



Leo Ascending


Pride be your emblem
King and Queen of Savannah
When the concealing curtain lifts
We will witness highest drama

Creative vision soars overhead
Courage roars while cowards dread
Chivalric courtship leads to cubs
Clones lacking romance are already dead

But you were born free and wild within concrete forests
Truly standing up for justice, lest legal system regress
So wage the best of battles unto any bitter end
There's no substituting nobility; although many may pretend!

Homage To Mercury Retrograde

Author's Note: Whenever a planet appears to be travelling in the opposite direction of its usual path through the Zodiac, Astrologers call it a Retrograde Transit. Of course, this is merely an optical illusion created by our Earthly perspective. Nonetheless, such transits hold a rather special Astrological significance. The most notorious of these is known as Mercury Retrograde (since it occurs 3 to 4 times every year).



Homage To Mercury Retrograde


Pay close attention now dear siblings
To that Trickster in purest form
But do not shoot the messenger
Because he brings news of a storm ...

Missed calls, mixed messages, misfired e-mails and texts
Blasts from the past, familiar faces, falling in bed with an ex

Expect delays, accidents and costly mistakes
Don't be in too much of a hurry
Or you'll see what waste haste makes

Misunderstandings, communication breakdown, arguments abound
Device malfunctions, forgetfulness and loss all around!

Grounded flights, transport strikes and commerce grinding to a halt
Such incidents are far more common
When young Hermes is at fault

Sign no contracts, hold off projects, don't bother buying phones
Or they will surely bear out marks of retrogressive overtones

Still there's a silver lining
Underneath this awkward show
One's subconscious mind is shining
In pregnant silence, lessons glow!

Marine Metaphors

Marine Metaphors

Flare up passion!

Fry the fish
For they say that she
Is a sumptuous dish.

Taking after Gaia

Like sisters Gish
Wrestling with Triton
Oceania's deepest wish.

If any Cancer

Attempts to squish
Slick Pisceans stir
Wondrous waves, washing swish!


Caliginous Penumbra

Caliginous Penumbra


Terra, Sol and Luna in winter solstice syzygy
From darkest day to brightest night
Dealing delayed epiphany

Seventh gamma ray drop
From on high down astral drain
Thunder crackles loudly in each human's brain


Ever softly strumming strings the spheres do gently weep
Fugacious florid script, etched with angles oh so steep
Here below we mortals sleep 'til death do us reap

Far above our world a portentous portal closes fast
On finely tuned perception will infinite memory repast
Live unadulterated—vaulting welkin boldyalthough vast
