Astro-Philoso-Poetical
we've fought a long and bitter war
my Twin Soul and I
lost and lonely, fallen angles, exiled
from a misty, half-forgotten galaxy of stars
wounded cruelly by the painful thrust of Mars
caught in Neptune's tangled web
shocked and torn asunder
by the sudden, awful violence of Uranus
tortured by the clever lies of Mercury
crushed beneath the icy weight of stern, unyielding Saturn
who lengthened every hour into a day
each day into a year
each year into eternities of waiting
scorched, and nearly blinded
by the Sun's exploding bursts of arrogance and pride
as Eve and Adam, stilled and helpless, deep within us cried...
still we fought on in unrelenting fury
striking blow for blow... driven by pounding drums
of Jupiter's giant throbbing passions.
stumbling at the precipice of the Moon's enticing madness
to fall, at last, in trembling fear
before the ominous threat of Pluto's ominous, tomb-like silence
consumed by inconsolable sadness, and the bleakness
of despair
we bear...
the wounds and scars of furious battle
I and my Twin Soul
but now we walk in quiet peace
with all our scattered pieces whole
together, hand-in-hand full serpent circle
back into the Pyramid-shaped rainbow
of tomorrow's brighter Eden
crowned by gentle Venus with the Victory of Love
that did not die
but has survived the night of selfish seeking
to wait for morning's soft forgiveness
and the dawn of understanding
-from Goobers, a novel on astrology and reincarnation by Linda Goodman
ok the form of the poem is not exactly like this but i could not figure out how the heck to move the lines to the side! if you want to appreciate the lovely structure of this lovely poem just ask me! :D
anyway, you know how astrology and astronomy are somehow linked? well i wonder how the recent decision to sack Pluto from the Board of Planets sits with astrologers, because Pluto is supposed to be Scorpio's planet. does that mean my sister is officially planet-less?
well i don't really have much to cheer about; my "planet' isn't even really a planet -- it's the Moon, which is strongly associated with lunacy. -.-"' ...
and dig this: apparently, Taurus is currently sharing a planet with Libra (Venus) because the Taurean planet (Pan-Horus) has not yet discovered. hear that astronomers? start looking out for Pan-Horus. actually, don't bother because you'll only discover it 12 solar cycles and 4 moon cylces from now, by which time you'd already have disintegrated into lithospheric junk. anyway, does this mean that Scorpio will be looking for a planetary partner? well they'd better not pick Cancerians cos we haven't exactly got alot of "planet" to offer. go for Jupiter! it's HUGE! plus Saggitarians are supposedly generous... what a great way to find out which star sign's the most philanthropic. since we already know who the most pathetic one really is hehe. :P
alright enough rubbish for one day. have to go look for something to cover my ass with before my sister and her fingers get home. :P
