Beams dancing along the shore
Spreading rays of life...

            The bright red and dark
                 Molasses shining
           Against the sky and sand
        Fine art stroll along the beach....

In her dreams she discovered Apollo
Fast asleep in an enchanted hollow
From the beat of her heart
She awoke with a start
For Apollo was too much to swallow!...

At the dawn of the day
When the sun kisses the sky 
I long for him
At night 
As the stars spread their beauty across the blackness
And Apollo himself hangs the moon
My heart whispers his name...

I Prayed Apollo,
To help me deliver my poem
With no cesarean operation
Operation success. Patient!
Do not judge by the poem.

They touched the sky like gods
And broke the great firmament
Then beyond
Riding on thunder and fire 
To see the stars as they are
And live between worlds
Received by Apollo, who
Is lonelier than we thought...

Cy Twombly Lexington's artistic ace
was obsessed by mission Apollo in space
random swirls& scribbles was his style*
so so recognised as a art profile

My anti-aesthetic garment spews out priest
Michael stands in river between olive trees
whose roots draw libido like Daphne's laurels
Apollo wore, in my drifting slumbering
pale Astro Projection where we meet again...

A perfect life
Is just a cup of tea
A book
And me alone.

A perfect gift
Is giving bouquet of roses
A chololate
For you alone. 

A perfect pair
A handsome brown Apollo
A rich Chinese sassy gal
In love together....

It's 1969, time of the great Apollo 11 mission
The world stopped and acknowledged this first admission
Man's amazing feat
Most amazing since meat
John Glenn was first to discredit the cheesy superstistion...

Bright pink Apollo Candy bike
her smile as wide as handlebars
with new found freedom my young tyke

People watch figure
Attracts everyone
Motivate body care
Sculpting soul capture.

Black is beautiful
Chocolatey smooth
Healthy, sporty
Pure esthetic.

Dark-skinned Apollo
Living sculpture
Women daydream
Elders forgotten thoughts....

Winter Solstice, Apollo, Sun god, Constantine had a say ...
For the first day of the week: Christian worship day
A strange connection: Sundays and SonDays For Jesus
Until Covid19 shut down half-empty churches
Do I have enough light to follow the Son anyway?...

Astronomy - Pleiades

A year's eclipse, heads-up,
arcs Lunars and Solars,
Apollo race flare up,
as new states vie Lunars,
acts China and Europe,
awes Trump signed aims for Mars,
and in the stars hopes up.

Gorgeously graceful God!
Governor of the Sun!
Glowing with poesy!
Grand music symphony!

Gallant global healer! 
Greek grandeur, Apollo...!

My head is neatly organized
  my heart on fire again

Thoughts escaping, love unleashed
  emotion teared and stained

All conflict over—fate in charge
  direction hard and fast

As Venus leads beyond the sun
  Apollo in the past 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2018)...

Breaking thru the clouds

with the power of light

as a song bird sings

untill the night 

healing the wounded 

as a chariot thus fly

plucking his lyre

as he opens our eyes

this oracular God

whom can heal or kill

protecting the sun

with a musical gun....

Cassandra’s groom was calling to her, but she did not hear him
She had entered a natural trance when she entered the grotto
She was now Pythia, high priestess of the Temple of Apollo
The most powerful oracle among the ancient Greeks
Gleaning her directions from all knowing cool waters...

I mused, foolhardy. I messed around
With sentiment attached to place.
Now soul makes off with my faculties!
Essence parts with my name and face!

Down the otway's surge of tranquil-sipped
Memories, fern-chilled; into the bay
Apollo, as alluvial gold
Which flow. Whence comes then my dismay?...

Apollo, Grecian god
Acclaimed as god of sun
Ageless and immortal
Adept in many skills
Archer and musician
Athletic and handsome
Adorable in mien

A twin -the brother of
Artemis, and the most
Attractive god was he.
Also god of music,
Archery, healing, plague
And light, he was nicknamed
“Averter of evil.”
