Capricorn with Moon in Scorpio seeks out emotional intensity. 

Lunar Scorpios can see beyond facades and cut right to the core of a person. 

Their intuition is enormous and they tend to be highly astute. 

This ability to "see" what isn't obvious can be intimidating or wildly attractive. 

Most have powerful, emotionally intense lives. 

They seek out commitment, and feel the need for a lover to give up something for them. 

Some will put the people they love through a series of tests, and these are not always conscious. 

However, once committed, they can be the most loyal and protective of partners. 

Even the shy ones have enormous presence. 

They spend a lot of time mastering their emotions. 

They radiate strength, even in the absence of experience; they seem to "just know". 

Some people instinctively want to lean on them, and other less brave folk run a little scared. 

They have exceptional "radar" that allows them to size up a situation quickly and expertly. 

This ability to understand human motivation and nature can be too close for comfort for some. 

Those that use their enormous powers for intimacy and honesty are the happiest, 

and make the most interesting and rewarding friends and lovers.

The Climb

Wall

My Tree of Life

Eternal Love

Love is a river flowing from up high

never traveling in a straight line

crossing over rock and trees

it moves in a direction that no one can control

it can't be blocked or dammed

nothing on earth can stop how it flows

it travels on and on

you can wade in if it travels easy

but, when it rushes down

you can drown

how do you swim in the river of love

how do you stay above

how do you not drown

is the secret to stay away so high

far from the river

up in the clouds in the sky 

Window to the Soul

Ode to Remix

Remember when you made mixed CDs for that special someone, well...here is a blog version, lol

"The smile on your face lets me know that you need me

There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me

The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall

You say it best when you say nothing at all"

"Look into my eyes, you will see

What you mean to me"

"Wish I could make you believe

In all that you are you don't have to be

Everything to everyone

Everybody's number one

Cause baby you're everything to me"

"The time is right, you hold me tight

And love's got me high

Please tell me, 'Yes' and don't say, 'No'

Honey, not tonight"

"Now, that I'm here, no more tears

Come here, come here

And you won't find, things

That broke your heart

And blew your mind

Not here, no, not here"

“And I... will always love you, ooh

Will always love you”

How many songs were you able to recognize?

Fading Hope

My Elusive Lover

Battle Soulmates

In a land of blue skies and open plains

Senseless violence is never in reign

Battles are fought by the just and the true

Enemy and foes, a more tangible hue

A prince... a king... a knave, a knight

A lady... a queen... a warrior bright

Two different souls... yet one in life

A man, a woman, a husband and wife

Love and honor held high above all

One needing the other or the other would fall

Brothers in combat, back to back

Lovers in bed, entwined without lack

Born of different lands, cultures and sights

Bound together by magic, faith, and rites

Overcoming obstacles of time and space

Halves of the same soul bound in place

Have no fear for a time shall come

When the two shall meet and become as one

And from their union greatness will follow

Leading many to glory by all that is hallow

the first poem i ever wrote

Eternal March

step by step...

I continue my march

don't remember where I began

don't remember where I am headed

I step on...

every step brings agonizing pain

my feet...bare and bleeding

yet...cannot stop the next step I take

the dusty horizon in front of me

I step on...

one after another

the sun bears down on me

heat driving me down

I thirst...but is it water I crave

I step on...

must not stop... they depend on me

I keep stepping

visions of my love

delirious

I step on...

brush of wind cooling me

breeze of vulture wings

circling above 

patiently waiting

i step on...

cannot stop they need me

must not fail them

I step on..

The Search

further...further 

into the shaded darkness...

I wander deeper into an unyielding forest

the harder I search...the more entangled I become

in a world far from what I once knew  

my steps quiet...

not wanting to disturb the melody of life

in the deeper reaches of the forest lies an open glade

exhausted and trembling...I fall upon an ivy covered log 

my senses opening to that which is around me

slowly...

noise begins to chorus back to normal 

the brush of wind caressing the majestic guardians

whistling through branches...leaves softly cascade onto the forest floor

birds pick up on the melody, harmonizing to life ebbing away

breathing deeply...

drinking in the heavy mead of life around me

the heady scent of pine... flavored with touches of dated lavender

moss and peat... wet from an earlier rainfall

a lingering taste of ozone 

eyes tearing...

I see life slowly circling towards it restful sleep

Autumn oranges and reds covering the forest floor

a snowfall of embers, bright vibrant colors shouting in death 

"I will emblazon the world...death will not be done quietly"

wetting my lips....

I taste the saltiness of my tears

yet, longing for the sweetness of what life was

instead... it is the bitterness of decay that swirls around my mouth

likened to an over-ripened fruit that has long seen its day 

skin prickles...

feeling the chill of an early evening shadow 

slowly the eternal night shifts towards this haven

crawling into the deepness of this once protected warm shelter

bones feeling the harsh grip of winter's hold

standing..

darkness enfolding the setting light

deafening silence replaces life's eternal music

the sense of tiredness overburdens my shoulders

sleep awaits...

New Journey

shed me not a tear

for I now travel on a journey

one... that is new to me

with sights and sounds I've never known

shed me not a tear

for I will meet new people

and gain new experiences

even my troubles will be eye opening

shed me not a tear

for even if you are not with me

I will always carry a part of you...

as a part of me, will always be with you

shed me not a tear...
my lost love

Cernunnos Love Letter

I found this scrolling around

If Cernunnos wrote love letters, it would possibly go something like this:

“You have given yourself to me…

Fully… You surrendered… You’re mine!

Your heart belongs to me, your soul,

Your body, your breath, your everything! Mine!

And you will run with me,

Scream with me, and rut with me,

Tremble in terror and desire of me,

Dance that wild, frenzied dance with me,

Journey to the dark, dank depths with me.

And you will know sheer ecstasy, utter agony,

And the intoxicating thrill of the hunt.

And we will meet at the Crossroads together, as we always have.

We will wander far and wide, with a fire raging in your head.

And I will show you the way on those crooked and hidden paths

I will tell you things no other could

I will take you to places unknown, and unseen

I will teach you. Guide you. Push you. Pull you. Rip you open.

I will show you what it means to be my devotee

I will break you and remake you,

Over and over…

And you will love me…

And when I’m not with you…

Remember… Remember…

…Remember”

Starlight

Lover's candlelight on a moonless night

reflecting off skin...a soft glimmering light

Eager eyes... search the darkening skies

for a sign to guide... their innocent lives

Cassiopeia whispers, in their ear...

"make love my darlings and do not fear"

"The Hunter guards you in your bed of grass

let none come close or suffer his wrath"

Lyra strums a seducing tune

as two young lovers begin to swoon

Swan showers the ground with downy feathers

a silken pillow... as they lie together

Centaur croons... in a baritone voice

setting the mood and making Andromeda rejoice

Soon their passion becomes a blazing sun

only Phoenix and Draco, are not overrun

They lie together... bodies aglow

lighting the heavens... with their lustful show

In the background...Virgo sheds a sorrowful tear

they have crossed a boundary...she holds so dear

Chances (lyrics)

The Fall

I hear the sound of a train roaring 

as if it were rushing by on a cold winter night

wind driving my hair back... pulling the skin of my face taut

how can wind be so deafening

My body feels empty... and weightless...

is this how a leaf feels riding on a storm's path

yet...i feel the pull... in the core of my being

dragging me, as a child drags a struggling puppy

My mind struggles to make sense of where I am

time is irrelevant and out of place

I know not whether a minute has passed...

or, if I have played every scene of my life over and over

to keep my eyes closed... is to know peace

so I open my eyes...

Mother Earth lies before me, calling on her child

and...I rush to her in open arms praying for comfort

I'm falling....and the beauty I view... blinds me

I fear...and yet, my heart brims in happiness

my mind freezes in time

I'm falling

Wolf Moon

High upon the forested mountain

covered in winter's white down blanket

her onyx-colored eyes scan the horizon...protector and guardian

watching her children play in their winter playground

She watches as the full moon slowly glides over the distant peaks

signifying the goddess' presence and  the start of a new season

the children of the forest quietly begin to gather

bearing gifts to the one that nurtures and guides those under her care

ancient fey dressed in their splendid garments of deepest violet

carrying swords of birch and crowns of thistle

scatter petals of crocus and snowdrops at her feet

presenting her with nuts and cones for nourishment

multitudes of glittering eyes patiently watch from the forest around her

waiting for her signal to begin their trek through the night

leading them to their new home... where life's cycle will begin anew

a cycle... started before memory and continuing after she is long gone

she feels the ancient calling welling deep within her chest 

breathing deeply... barely noticing the biting cold mountain air

she readies herself to loose the calling as ancient as time itself

a signal to all that the time has come to move on and start a new journey

Beauty

Soulmate

Hidden Smiles

One of the greatest treasures in life

is when you find hidden smiles

these are the unexpected smiles that come from the heart

in the most unexpected places and times

they are as fleeting as a morning dream

often only caught from the corner of your eye

you've seen it...

on the young couple... where love is fresh and blooming

lighting the world in new color and sensations

on the older couple... who catches a glimpse of the other 

knowing they share a secret from the rest of the world

on the child... who walking with her father hand-in-hand

sees a magical unicorn hiding behind a bush

on that person... standing next to you waiting for the metro or bus

who gets lost daydreaming of their someone special

you've seen it on yourself... when you catch that smile on another

and it makes you realize you've seen happiness in perfect form

Apocalypse

The celestial heavens have never seen such fury...

the night skies ripped open in a scream of agony

casting hail and fire upon the fields of mankind

burning flames, the colors of blood... and amber

the once tranquil oceans... roil in agonizing pain

massive waves... the likes never seen, churning... to and fro

crashing upon the rocky shores like a hammer upon glass

mercilessly casting its children  upon the up-heaving land

the earth ripped asunder like a plaything in a giant's hands

geysers spewing not water, but the burning blood of the earth

mountains exploding... sending rock and fire into the night sky

a perverted light show... heralding... death and destruction

yet none can truly capture the wrath of a lover's scorn
love given... only to be thrust into the depths of betrayal
trust broken... and impaled upon the jagged edges of  duplicity
a sense of despair that replaces any hope of continuing existence

an Apocalypse of mind, heart, and soul

Christmas memories

One of my most memorable Christmas' days

took place in Southern Germany

I was with my best friend and the woman I loved

we were walking along a snow-dusted cobblestone road

between small kiosks all covered in winter snow

the light and fluffy kind that slowly falls over hours

the air was crisp, and tingled the skin in a refreshing way

everywhere you looked were the signs of the season

wreaths with flowers and cones, candles lit in place of normal lights

holly and mistletoe hanging from store shops and lamp posts

we sipped on warm gluhwein and ate little pastries

the air smelled of fresh cooking, roasted chickens and fresh bread

the shops had little trinkets and wooden toys

we talked and shopped for hours, til late into the night

the day lasted forever, and yet still ended way too soon

though many years have passed 

this has always been one of my treasured 

Christmas memories

What is yours?

Life's lessons

When I was young... I loved the world

people were good and were my teachers

friends were the best and always by my side

family was a constant and had all the answers...

best of all... I fell in love

falling in love... made me grow up

no longer did I live a selfish life

all that I did was for the one I loved

nothing made me more fulfilled than making her happy...

unexpected thing to happen...she broke my heart

a broken heart...makes you old and bitter

lost love doesn't make you sad and depressed

it makes you hate... everyone and everything

love songs and memories reminds you of what you lost...

worst thing to happen...I went numb

going numb...made me lonely and desperate

empathy is replaced with sadism

but hatred fills the void with some kind of emotion

hurt the world more than it hurts you and you win...

last thing I expected to happen...I became a little wiser

being wiser...made me sad, but opened my eyes

sometimes love is not eternal...nor shared

fairy tales do not come true and it okay to cry

we live our lives one day at a time 

next thing to happen....I... I just don't know

Away From Home

I would like to remind all my readers and followers....all three of you, lol....please don't forget our loved ones who are overseas and cannot be with their families this time of year.  Whether it is because they are serving their countries, on sabbatical, or because their jobs have taken them away from home, we want them to remember that we are thinking of them and they will always have a place in our hearts.  I personally have a close friend who is in Europe on business and she will not be with her family this year... :( 

but, hopefully she will know that we all are thinking of her and this time next year she will be with loved ones to celebrate Christmas with them.  Hopefully, Santa will be extra nice to her and leave her a special gift :)
