...and my Poetry

My poetry’s inspired by world-renowned esoteric artists, my own artwork and others.

“Nero, Body of a Merlin”

Beautiful creature, gracefully awaiting
Patiently discerning prey
Envisioning  a swift, powerful strike
The falcon for a lady

 

Artwork by
Emily Bronte (1841)

“Rise of the Divine Feminine”

Sophia syzygy of Aeon
Earthling. Archon. Ophian
Transcended to chaos
Fountain of truth and light
Wellspring of LOVE
Bringing heaven to earth
In a circle of angels
Moving wind. Whipping the earth
The time is nigh
For god’s will

 

Artwork by
Jaison Cianelli (2012)

“Annual Girandola, Castel Sant Angelo”

Spinning rockets of fire
Erupting from the holiest of fortresses
Theatre. Science. Alchemy. Art
A most spectacular show
Viewed from the seat of a soul
Under a pinecone tree
With a third eye

 

Artwork by
Joseph Wright of Derby (1775)

“Dante”

Human order to an unbound world
Rational. Logical. Graded
The imagined journey of a human soul
A divine comedy

 

Artwork by
By Henry John Stock (1882)

“Anima Mundi”

Sapienti. Athena. Tzadik
Transcending the hellish world
Wings soiled; calling the eternal spirit
Into the physical realm
Supernal wisdom imbued with Lifeforce
Channeling celestial energy
To a fallen man
Truth is mighty and will prevail
 
Artwork by
By Roberto Ferri (2014)

“Sainte Jeanne d'Arc”

Voice of God, not her will
Righteous, noble, a guiding light
Burned at the stake
The power of Love

 

Artwork by 
Paul Antoine de la Boulaye (1909)

“Satan Summoning His Legions”

Heroic defiance of the Almighty
Emerging from a banished lake of fire
Invoking his fiery cosmic forces
Awake, arise, or be forever fallen
Rebellion. Freewill. Disobedience
Fighting for justice, vindication
Of a Paradise Lost
 
Artwork by 
Sir Thomas Lawrence (1797)

“Circe offering the Cup to Ulysses”

Divine man
Don’t worry things will get better
Time to admit the truth
You’re magic
A channel bringing heaven to earth
You’re powerful
Don’t hold back
You will prevail

 

Artwork by 
John William Waterhouse (1891)

“Battle of Cesme (Cheshme) at night”

Under a cold watchful moonlit sky
Broken. Burned. Scattered
A fiery light show of superiority
Worthy of Aivazovsky’s brush

 

Artwork by
Ivan Aivazovsky (1856)

“Buds and Blossoms”

A tree rising and spreading from its roots
An eloquent symbol of life
Beautiful.  Eternal. Boundless
In the brightest light of divine presence

 

Artwork by
Daniel Garber (1916)

“Lucifer”

Seduction. Lust. Passion. Pain
Fallen Archangel
Glowing with the luminosity of heaven
Man Demon
De Amon
Daemon

 

Artwork by
 Franz Stuck (1890)

“Dawn. Pennine Angel. Morning Star”

Upon a standing stone
Temple to the sun
Scion of Tuatha Dé Danann
Calls upon Venus
Bringing light into the world
A loyal, faithful guardian spirit by his side

 

Artwork by
Peter Brook (C. 1970)

“Golgotha”

Bound by our sins
Crucified by our demons
Pain. Agony. Insanity
Pray Love
There’s hope for redemption yet

 

Artwork by
Edvard Munch (1900)

“Madeleine Undressing - Eve of St. Agnes”

In a holy imperial castle chamber
Ethereal in the twilight of a moonlit window
Garments let go like a mermaid at sea
A magical ritual faithfully divined
She dreams awake, and sees
A sanctified vision of her beloved to be
Artwork by
John Everett Millais (1863)

“Self Portrait”

Brushing his spirit onto canvas
Christening each creation with a name
Good. Evil. Dark. Light
From the netherworld of his mind
A window to his world

 

“Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art”
-Leonardo da Vinci

 

Artwork by
Franz von Stuck (1905)

“Aphrodite”

Goddess of love, fertility and warfare
Priestess. Deity. Magic
Sacred carnality.
Bridge between the divine
Beauty. Creation.
Destruction. Prosperity.
Victory

 

Artwork by
William Adolphe Bouguereau
(1825-1905)

“Mermaid”

Desire to change
Fear of the unknown
Caught between two worlds
The power of Love

 

Artwork by
Edvard Munch (1896)

“Mount Elbrus in the Clouds”

Major. General. Artist. Spirit
Pensive before a sea of clouds
The rock where Zeus chained Prometheus
His molten peaks of fire sleep

(1894)

“Ode”

Black and white
Like the letters you write
Drawing me in with every word
Funny. Sexy. Beautiful. Magic
Cicero, my Love
