Empty Spaces
It’s the empty spaces
the silence between cars passing
and the ringtones of the phone
that won’t be you

Star Poetry
SerpentineSky Dec 2024
As stars move they trace poems in the sky
constellations of rhymes ethereal.
Many poets look to the Earth for inspiration,
to trees, ocean and meadow flowers.
Yet at night I gaze up at the night sky
and bring my children home.

The Doll
SerpentineSky Dec 2024
The doll had been too well loved
and she was broken.
Children prefer teddies nowadays.
You can stick pins in them
and no-one notices.

Sea Shore
SerpentineSky Dec 2024
Silver-blue sleek ocean
Not a ripple upon your glass surface
On golden beaches I discover
fragments of coral,blue sea glass.
spotted shells,eerie twists of driftwood.
This treasure spills from my hands,
all the riches I need.

Cat Curls
SerpentineSky Dec 2024
Cat curl
he unfurls
A black rose
with tiny toes

Each one thorned
and he grows
to a puffball

Sunrise
the alarm goes
Cats day no more
time to curl and snore

Moon Lover
SerpentineSky Dec 2024
The moon longed to join his lover the Earth,
who did not feel the depth of his love.
For she was entranced by the song of the thrush,
by the rippling stream and the sighing wind.

The sun eclipsed him and he wept in darkness.
Even over night he could not reign.
Ever since that time the moon fades
from full to a sliver of invisibility.
Waxing to bright hopefulness once again.

The White Rose
SerpentineSky Dec 2024
The white rose grew from the moons rays
She understood the worlds sorrow
for she was born in shadow
She wept, for a lover picked her
for his beloved
and did not wipe away
the tears he called dew

Oriole
SerpentineSky Dec 2024
She was struggling with the bills,
the rent, against life itself.
The oriole sang,
blazing from the trees
like the sun itself,
then flew into the skies.
Her heart went with him,
and did not return.

Rhythm
SerpentineSky Dec 2024
a rhythm was born
rocked in the cradle of the world
you can hear it in the wind
and in the sigh of the ocean
It cannot be named
or ever known
It’s at the heart of every song
and every poem

Ombré viridian

Ochre of earth hues
Violet so bold
Singing the deepest  blues

the kitten was lost
SerpentineSky Dec 2024
the kitten was lost
a household with a warm heart

for the lost and lonely ones
sadly she walked on

there was a woman
even lonelier than she
a happy ending

Rock Universe
SerpentineSky Dec 2024
There was a movement
upon the infinite void.
A new song was born,
and The Goddess arose,
black skinned and dread
The Immaterial One,
like a blinding sun.

She grooved a holy groove.
Made suns and stars and
useful things,
like drawing pins.
Created dinosaurs, inexplicably,
and strangely coloured birds.

She created woman,
who gave birth to man.
Her name was Diamond Lucy,
her couture was Juicy,
Living on the dark side of the moon.

With her panther eyes
she witnessed all,
but fell down the well of dreams
and lay there in despair.

A haunting tune,
The Spirit Of The Age said
“Get up love you’re not dead.
Ok, you might have made a few mistakes,
like woman doing 80% of the worlds work
yet owning 1% of it’s wealth.
(A doozy that one)
But you’re not a failure

“ And the Goddess created
Donald Trump”
was perhaps not your best line….
We all make mistakes,
O Cosmic Mistress.
Don’t cry, little sister,
try loving angels instead.

“******* “ the Goddess said.
A tithe of light,
blinding white.
Then nothing but a void
forever night.

Owl Flight
SerpentineSky Dec 2024
lamp eyed snowy owls
thistledown flight
dark angels of night
guides of lost souls

with your fierce flight
to the well of dreams
where nothing is what it seems
and day becomes night

my flowers became owls
my arms became wings
I’m the bird that sings
the wolf that sadly howls

It’s the ancient law
so I will never let go
buried under the snow
forevermore

Israel
SerpentineSky Dec 2024
storms build slowly
like love in winter
brief flash of lightning
dark sky splinter
we briefly sing
and fall to silence
this war rising
it’s endless violence
To own that
which can never be owned
by a breath of impermanence
Dec 2024 · 141
Water Flows
SerpentineSky Dec 2024

Goodbye Norma Jean
SerpentineSky Dec 2024
like Midas you turned me into gold
Marilyn Monroe
from plain Norma Jean

A factory girl
in a gilded world
might have stayed
in the shack full
of heartless machines

Might not have died alone
drugged in the bath

Snowflake Dancer
SerpentineSky Dec 2024
snowflake tiny dancer
your life is measured
in moments of sunlight
when you die they ask;
where do snowflakes go?
To the heart of diamond
to shine upon a lover’s hand

If time heals
SerpentineSky Dec 2024
If time heals
why do the hours drag?
Child with dandelion clock
lives in zen,
at one with herself
and her world.

I feel bound to it
as a mechanical thing.
No longer flowing with seasons,
like a wild May Queen.

I hear the mechanical
tick tock tick
tock tick tock
of the clock in my kitchen.

Time reduced to numbers.
Time cut into pieces.
Someday I’ll smash
that ****** clock.

Give me wings
SerpentineSky Dec 2024
Lucifer give me angels wings
barred like the owl
Fallen Angel give me claws
like Lilith in the first days

Lucifer give me silver songs
and brazen arrows
Fallen Angel give me poems

raven in obsidian
Fallen Angel give me a spiderweb
to capture fools

Lucifer give me my child’s breath
bring rose to grey
Fallen Angel resurrect
what God withheld
