    odes to The Gods and Goddesses

    JUNO

    graceful green stem
    heavenly wind whisper repose
    a coat of shining stars
    precipitate Her halo cap
    arouse circles of the abundant bliss
    to gather stones the grave enlist
    kiss Her sequenced hem dawn to dusky pink carry long
    longing for Her love adored
    promise A kiss be born to every pretty
    mist beside the Spring of song.

    Zeus

    fire lute and lyre curses cry for no one from the sand of nomad canyons caves carnal sins break of day hoist the sail break away prisoners all in the prism of the fall
    capture them all the lamb is silent
    the lion roar.

    Athena

    Her beautiful mind exquisite kind in shadow shade everglades glide in moonbeam tides hear your name-think the spoils of war ain’t no use at all, the catcher waves a wand the crystal of a swan-the magic will unfold when men grow not so old to see the sea as cold and free as gold.

    Diana

    unearth cloud cover hover between the world and night the dark of bed has hit your head the dread is out of sight but oh the miracle He may the night will sun the day and i will hunt to be as blunt as fish swim in the bay.

    Apollo

    yellow golden age upon the plain bathe enrich the grain fierce the piercing seagull cry the sun is in his eye great God
    warmth regard the handsome and the bard.

    Neptune

    Son of Zeus protective loving knight blue green waters stir rush crash in His veins touched by Pisces reflect moon lit seas oceans fathom turbulence deluge Father of fish crab clam man the oar from Maine to the mainland of Japan.

  • i adore the Earth

    Byjucasso

    i adore the Earth my home
    a place to call my own
    the river bend and moan
    the ocean white with foam

    i hear a bird at dawn
    she sing a lovely song
    i see the sea is blue
    the horizon and Heavens too

    i see a sea of sky
    that fill her gray blue eyes
    in hope there is a prayer
    for God to always be there

    will you see me someday
    where we may work and play
    i pray for you to be okay
    my heart is full and gay

    i long to see you smile
    across the cloudy miles
    i fear it’s but a dream
    to have a world for my girl and me

    don’t worry baby blue
    for i remember you
    my messenger my guide
    my starry night your moon won’t cry.

    amen.

  • for all the world i touch

    Byjucasso

    in the course of mighty rivers challenging channels caught cold quivers quizzical shivers crimson creatures absorb light tints of night right in the middle of second sight
    appeal the real spin the whim reduce the speed sleep well my steed run run the tears the task turn dark as night time come
    and i alone catch colder still upon the breath of heart that kill the ever lost that never will-the milk is spilt i cry
    and never was the stubborn day that end the year and this dear bay that swim the rim and beg to play a song sung low remorse must tow a wreckage of a ship at sea the hull of heaven miss her plea to be as free as she can be the torrent wind whisper
    a fascination pursue a nation a revelation doubt creation and i a worldly novice ask for solace in the tropic of my silence end the vile creature stress the promise of a wretch the wicked with the license wither you go you know the flow of words will do to honor you but in the dark the cavern flood the deep sea caves are filled with mud arouse the time to rise and shine to fall the wick burn thick till done the shadow knows from whence it come and answer this my sweet resist to you and yours a best exist till day is here i tell you dear i am the one who fear the dawn if ever one felt as forlorn.

  • sand water sky

    Byjucasso

    sand water sky

    moon ebb flow
    tide caress
    sway shy shore
    remorseful gray day

    coyote prey morsel
    snake venomous torment
    blacks blues red fish
    swim green sea

    dawn break into song wind unwind warm
    winter blast long last
    sky overwhelm sea with tears
    black spider fear red lizard
    cat lick blizzard
    exclaim mix rain
    capture coast in paint
    buoyant boats bob like ghosts clairvoyant
    burnt sand burnish clam
    knotty pine rhyme
    branch bent to bear sea brine

    bird bay sea foam sand
    red flag red nun black can

    stars sky starling fly
    cloud encore thunder clap
    snow fall winter brawl sun withdraw
    schooner sooner sail flap
    undertow flow lap.

  • wind blow

    Byjucasso

    wind blow ice cold out to sea
    grasses gold wavering wheat
    extemporaneously
    fishes fowl run the hour
    in their harmony
    trust just love must let the Angels be

    in time thou thine a part of me
    inside cries for the heart of thee
    time will tell you what befell you
    when first I saw your pretty face

    God gift amazing grace
    He can take it all away
    may you stay don’t turn away forlorn
    without delay return the day reborn

    to meet the most Holy Ghost in early morn
    toast the host with all your Heaven brethren
    that spill the tears to heal a hurried welcome
    tend a field of wild flower
    marigold beguile

    hammer gold moulding old and tired
    paintings for a public view invite you
    images from dark to light pose a prayer in evening night
    of pools to dive into

    the water cool as wind wend westerly
    alone again to get the best of me
    a self made prophecy manifest destiny
    where are you my mistress of ceremony?
    candid in your ministry medicinal
    seeing God on Sundays
    a little bit closer
    may I count on you?

    my decisions easier
    having bouts reason blur
    out with a curse
    that empties the purse
    that questions my very bliss

    time measures everything
    quick to overwhelm
    the realm of age
    turn a page
    rustle of parchment scent of cologne
    the comfort of being alone

    love that is giving
    inspire to yearn
    evergreen pining
    your humble sage with Taurus rising.

  • the realm of the real

    Byjucasso

    the realm of real
    rite the night
    fill the throng with song
    fly by light the spirit soar
    rainbow bright white lit dawn

    I ask of you to stay with me
    a little while pray with me
    lantern by the sea
    walk together candidly

    vivid thought
    sacred heart
    friend in rain most bitter dark
    antique post modern avant-gard

    off to your diamond studded stars
    bedecked bejeweled redeemed renewed
    while I paint faintly moody moons
    avenues in text express

    Prometheus unbound-find him dancing around the grounds
    in these infinite coastal towns
    the bay is sound
    fog horn rip torn sleep
    replete the hours peace
    in quiet
    sweet silent
    drift down the river like Ophelia
    hope harbor keeling not rob her of her feeling
    peek into day dawn shy wink sky pink sparkle sunrise
    link the universe mere verse cannot endeavor to recapture
    such brilliant rapture
    the slow glow in tone of a flower blossom open in a moment

    arise full stature yellow golden flame
    behold the Sun magnificence the center to the Mane

    all creation spin in resolution
    syncopated time unfold in unison.

  • étoilé

    Byjucasso

    deep tears escape down cheek
    parchment wither crack
    time wrinkle face
    abhorrent act

    raise gracious rage diligent glass
    endure stimulant
    regardless of age
    your silver glow encrypted

    turn a moon conflicted
    dark night surround by daylight
    puffy cloud wisps conspire
    sail into wind for hours

    turbulent seas make men tremble
    seek women in their dreams
    row galleon sail on
    air current fly eagle off the distant coast
    boast choppy seas
    frantic panic in the Atlantic
    lost to
    praise the sun
    waves warm feel thaw
    golden rays upon the day
    begin to melt the seagulls play
    find
    étoilé the star of guidance shine
    tell me I am yours that you are mine
    in all the mention of the time
    whisper words soothing kind

    swim with the fishes is there time?
    ask for kelp all for brine
    an ocean of love may mend the ship
    that flow from the heart to save the trip
    though rushing water swell and dip
    welcome moon it’s half past noon
    we’ll view the view and get there soon
    before the juniper bloom in June.

  • Atlantic Night

    Byjucasso

    black Atlantic night
    hidden rhythm forgiven
    beach wind trim sail
    waters whip foam white
    storm the sand of fantasy
    rain exceed the ecstasy
    in the middle of a memory
    infuse temper temporary
    console soul contemporary
    into the elements
    love has no boundary love has no effigy

    drawn are the lines in your kind face
    that grapple grit
    that perfect pitch rock back and forth forthwith
    wish the myth of bliss your wealth in health
    will hurt no hint no risk of self to save a sage
    who sink into a mortal rave
    wave cool waters colored blue
    roar sea water swirl spray cascade floor off shore
    endure tumultuous remorse
    the coast host hammer on rock
    surge a dirge cling to pillion on the dock
    writhe boats tied up taut
    siren wind send shiver blow sting
    surface bird fly icy wing
    thought to pull fish from their school
    claw catch to grab the fin
    cold Spring harbor
    labor of love starboard
    gull at the hull
    eat well into tomorrow.

  • renew

    Byjucasso

    concrete thoughts egregious
    body of water in agreement
    cascade sparkling sun drench
    spit splashes lashing out
    wave them in
    beaches bearing creatures in the foam

    dilapidated beach house groan
    windy wooden slatted home
    weathered white paint chip crack craze
    extend from the surface raised
    like seagull wings
    stretched away walls dingy gray
    eroded brass hardware greenish black
    abandoned to the sea salt air never coming back

    muse the muse of love the rite of Spring
    Venus in the world would bring
    love to everyone and every living thing
    with heart to light ones darkest night to sing

    bells will chime like heartbeats to the rhyme
    acts of kindness let sorrow be
    in a world that seems the test of time
    love is ever soft serene
    appreciate the stars the sea
    the earth renew our destiny.

  • gravitate a humble life

    Byjucasso

    gravitate a humble life
    light the moonbeams in the night
    swear the angels get it right
    rascals seem so erudite

    counter boundless energy
    Shake needles off pine
    drink until deplete of wine
    the grace of grapes la fete upon the vine

    you in your state of mind
    cannot relate to mine
    inherent to be kind so much to bear
    impose the time to find me there

    gentle gracious angels in the city
    summers take a tunnel to the sea
    everywhere is farmland green and pretty
    fruit stands line the streets a local litany

    back home quiet transcends the traffic
    that forced it’s way into my psyche
    homespun into the fabric
    a lonely stone bridge the road
    to paths well known

    incredible wisdoms derived from laughter
    see them then as the hereafter
    looking grave a mortal slave begs The Lord
    to save my loved ones as myself from harm

    a life well spent takes so much good to vent
    around the world my heart is holding on
    to sing about the days ahead
    to mourn the loved ones that are gone

    there’s purpose in service to a dream
    build fulfill not fall in between
    cheer the deer as no one ever may
    reach for a star come up with another day

    life is at it’s best when filled with rest
    the rest will somehow happen so it seems
    direct your attention to the heart of dreams
    a night of stars humble the request
    receive a village hidden in the trees.
