Hocus Pocus

Hocus Pocus, here's my opus

My whole heart and all my focus

Has been on my art and voice as

I've been in this vacuum void that's

Had me mad and often hopeless

But my work's my way to cope with

So I rose and wrote and spoke it

Passion is my path to purpose 

Everywhere I go I know this

Love and Work

In love and work

I was a jerk

Apparently, per chart at birth

It has its perks

I guess, on Earth

But what's it worth?

To harm, to hurt

For something I thought I deserved 

This life I've learnt

Through being burnt

Just what's of substance and concern

So things I say

All I convey

And everything I do all day

It is to love

To heal, to hug

Now how it feels is how I judge

A Woodpecker

A woodpecker he's made of me

I hammer at my honey's tree

For him to hear and me to see

How beautiful one boy can be

It seems that I knock senselessly 

Still I persist relentlessly 

Each gift we're sent is meant to seed

I act in authenticity

Totem and Tailsman

I talk to totems and to trees

To butterflies and bumblebees

To tailsman and tarot reads

Departed friends and to Ritchiiiiieeeee!

I ask my angels, heckos please?

And this is how they're answering 

When I woke up and chose to see

To walk from what seemed so sturdy

They brought you as a gift to me

I say okay, so why'd he leave?

I hear, has your life been a beach?

You're meant to learn and grow through grief

To turn your light on and to teach

To open up your mouth and speak

And with your wings and writing reach

A lightning bug and lion chief 

El Capitan

El Capitan

I'm not your fan

I will not pay to see your band 

Nor blow you in your touring van

No soy a sailor, mi soul fam

Not second fiddle to a man

I'm equal to and no less than

Fine Print

My astral brothel's gone offline

Please see the fine print on the sign

That if you'd like to be so kind

Do make a move and up your mind

I'm hard to crack but not to find

On sacred space in northern pine

I'm in your wild west this time

I ride with rhyme and to remind

A solar eclipse doesn't shine

Don't use the moon to hide behind

Kona Coffee

Kona coffee, mornings when

I'm the pride of my island

I may never hear my men

Tell me what I mean to them

If they wish to trap and pin

Mason jar the light I lend

I will not be their victim

I'll leave and we'll both ascend

I've been asked to go within

Be like water and the yin

Now I'm proud, and in the end

So is my creator then

The Outer

On the outer, looking in

Left to die by my lions

Furthest ring of Saturn spins

Forcing me in cold again

Throwing me to wolves that grin

Tearing me from limb to limb

Lord how they have worn me thin

Help me get away from them

I will never let them win

Bring me to new friends and kin

Ones who love and compliment 

Girl Circus

Acrobatic reaper cheater

Dagger eater, fire breather

Rafter swinger in the theatre

Tightrope walker of the ether

Ringmaster of men beneath her

Aerial until they need her

Lion tamer in the bleachers

Healer in his tent and teacher

Circe is quite the creature feature

Carnival both sun and secret

Reprise

Attempt again, so many tries

Contemptuous til I despise 

To love the one you're with at night

Despite to feel it isn't right

Some days so bad I'd wish he'd die

Be contemplating suicide

Like it would lift me from our ties

To free me from my house of flies 

My bed of lies and back of knives

In name of being kind and nice

In sympathy, for compromise 

It wasn't what I want in life

I nearly met my own demise

But encore encore and reprise 

I chose to be myself and rise

Lennon Mentions

Sin we fell in broke our trust 

Independence frightens us

If in wind we're only dust

Why then not succumb to lust

Lennon mentions laugh at love

Tiny death in sex and drugs

Let's not look for light in stuff

We are what we're conscious of
