The Zodiac Invocation

Phoebe, Venus, Helen of Troy Pale precursors of thee Beautiful rose is my muse Most stunning entity Orion shall protect thee dear For I have summoned him Standing watch through day and night Devotion never dimmed The Archer stole Cupid’s bow Took straight aim at the mark Precision is his mastery Shot me dead through the heart The Ram is said to be hard headed My Love is just the same Tis a quality to possess To never give up in the Game Venus and the Battling Bull are linked Beauty and the Beast they are My Muse could fight a bull and win And outshine Venus by far The Lion in the sky doth rage But slow after his prey And when you turn your back to love My heart turns all to grey The scorpions scuttle fast across The floor in search of dark I feel a kinship with these beasts For dark has filled my heart The scales of Libra in the air Tip against me in your eyes But look again sweet muse and see What tips against me are mere lies The silver goat on the mountain side Is looking for his savior Left to die alone with other’s sins And all he thinks is Her The Cancer in the sea doth dwell Deep on the bottom’s floor My love for thee is as immense And truly like an open door Aquarius can quench one’s thirst But love he can’t control And you my dear can quench my heart Or coldly leave me on the shoal The salmons swagger against the flow They try to reach their end My vain attempts are just as hard Never a lover, just a friend Sometimes I think we are twin suns Far apart but naturally tied Never touching for both would burn bright Towards her I stare with a sigh The Vestal Virgins kept the fire Which one day would expire My love for thee is contrary Living for eternity Feet firmly on the tender ground My only wish is not to drown My only hope a change of winds I pray and long to burn my sins Ages and ages have passed away The poet is now dead and scarred No record left of him or her He hid his face amongst the stars © 2026 Akashic Flux Collective.
