Excerpt from section Libra
TENDER FIRES
By the tender hand that mercy moves
Is judgement cast, a soul to bruise
For goodness topples without its pair
I deal a fate of kind severe
This humility you take for weak and frail
Can flip the script from head to tail
The Sun eclipsed by wind and hail
You fight these tears but you shall fail
The devil was made for righteous anger
When my caustic rage lusts to conquer
When fire is summoned til Hell is cold
You’re flat as a card and ready to fold
And when the shadows recede from vengeful eyes
The dead in me a Phoenix rise
To balance the act of justice due
Singing in scales of a Libran true
Excerpt From Section Scorpio
THE VIRGO & THE VAMPIRE
(Inspired by elements in the novel “Vampires of Twilight Castle” by Asher Sharol)
No vendetta had I visualized against the sweet Victorian vixen
But from my vantage, her vitality vacuumed my prior vexation
I thought my vision was in vain, viewing her skin of velvet
Virgo’s virgin with a veil vaulted upon her face of vibrancy
But verily my vertigo-laced mind spun like a vortex
Viewing this vintage variety of Venus
I swooped down like a voracious vulture
"Your voluptuous form verifies my visitation
Vanquish thoughts of this vagrant vagabond's visage
Verily, vision is but vanity and vantages shall vanish as vapor
Venture instead to vivisect my voiced vocabulary"
Virile vernacular vehement and vociferous
Vigorously vacating the vixen’s volition
She verified my veracious verses of verisimilitude,
Vindicating my vibrant verbiage
And vied viciously for my vested validation
She vocalized via a vibrato voice akin to a violin virtuoso
That vermilion is the color of her dreams of Valentine
Asked if I was a vampire, that in her valise are vases of vervain
“I’m no vampire villain, in vain do you vilify my virtue.”
“In vein?” she voiced, visceral. “My vespers vanquish vagabonds.”
Her vibes veered like vehicles of high velocity
I vouched to vouchsafe various vases of violet
Hoping to become her heart's victorious viceroy
Excerpt From Section Scorpio
SERPENTINE VERSE
The alphabet submits itself to my creative lust
I illuminate gray matter breathing life into mental dust
Immortal are they which proceed from my will
Black words spilled from the end of my quill
First, I summon like magic the will to write
Those quick,evasive ideas that tease with speed of light
I try to pluck them from swirling vortex of mind
And vicarious experiences combined
Then in starry-eyed solitude amid tick and tock
I exercise patience in awaiting a spark’s knock
Upon half-closed door of semi-permeable perception
To start weaving wayward words to pristine perfection
My third eye visualizes the prismatic akashic records
Caffeine- induced synesthesia discerns colors as gyrating chords
Poetic lines gleefully manifest as packets of quanta
And together with cadence of cardiac mantra-
Jottings metastasize like a cancer-engineering a sublime stanza
Seraphic muses descend -their lucid visage chryselephantine
Oozing words from their mouths teeming of nectarine
They demand grandiloquent mention of their grandiose names
And fantastical tales of fanciful lands from which they came
My fingers tap-dance across blurred keyboard
To the rhythm of their own frantic design
Manufacturing in rhyme-a body of keywords
Set upon the page reclined
Now naked words lie upon a sheet of white
Ebony fonts-hiding behind their meaning
They fidget on the page ever so slight
When searched by your bold eyes charmed or demeaning
