Venus and the Pleiades.
The Pleaides during the summer are visible from the position my bed is in, and during those summer nights whenever I'm falling asleep looking at them, I always think of Hermes and His mother ✨

Admit it. You aren’t like them.
You’re not even close.
You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching the “normal people” as they go about their automatic existences. For every time you say club passwords like “Have a nice day” and “Weather’s awful today, eh?”, you yearn inside to say forbidden things like “Tell me something that makes you cry” or “What do you think deja vu is for?”
Face it, you even want to talk to that girl in the elevator. But what if that girl in the elevator (and the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work) are thinking the same thing? Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on conversation with a stranger? Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence.
Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others.

Right from the beginning [Apollo] was connected not only with night but with caves and dark places, with the underworld and death. This is why at the town of Hierapolis, Apollo’s temple was right above the cave leading down to the underworld. And it’s why at other famous Oracle centers in Anatolia his temples were built just the same way – above a cave giving access to the underworld that was entered by his priest and by initiates at the dead of night.

For Apollo, Whose Love Is Fierce
Your love is a terrifying thing to bear,
Sweet and searing. You penetrate to the core.
It is like walking off a precipice,
and whether we fly or fall is all the same
when the ending is You
and the conflagration of Your affections.
Oh Sweet God, burn away all that keeps us from taking that leap.
Let us not be like Kassandra, inconstant, aching,
for You and yet so afraid. She
was a slave to Her fear.
Let our fear never win. Let it instead be the
spice
that flavors the feast of the senses You
proffer.
Free us from the chains of our terror.
Let us rise proudly into Your embrace
counting as small the consequences of such
devotion.
There are always consequences to devotion.
Let us pay the requisite price gladly;
and then let us throw ourselves madly into the heat of Your Presence.
Hail to You, Apollo, most-longed for God.
Hail to You, and all Your hungers
that fuel the fires of our veneration.

Preview of my original song "Queen of Everything"
Your laughter is my caffeine
Being there is what I pretend
Seeing you smile like a queen
I wish the night would never end
You’re the innocent bystander
Witness to my night time candor
As passions overflow
My feelings for you grow
My heart and mind closely compete
In a contest I cant complete
You’re the unwitting prize
A gift of my demise
Lost in my own universe
Making it fully what I want it to be
The soundtrack played in reverse
Go back in time at last learn how to be free
Neutralize the evil curse
That my sad and sorry past put upon me
Walking through life with a happy beat in my heart
With bright vivid dreams that are sublime
Confident that I will no longer come apart
That I will completely heal with time
One more fiery flame to keep you warm
Embracing you with thoughts of me
A strong connection now begins to form
And our hearts and souls are set free
My love, you inspire me to be better
To fulfill all my dreams to the letter
Creating a conveyor belt of joy
Making a man out of this little boy
I care about you so much
A lot more than as a friend
I just wish that we could touch
So I could make your heart mend
I really like it when you fluster
You always give your feelings away
I love you is all I can muster
You know that I’m here and I will stay
When you want sweet I’ll be your marmalade
And you can be my sugar queen
But if anyone throws you any shade
They’ll get a heavy side of mean
A high and costly toll that must be paid
Don’t worry I’ll always fight clean
Because our lasting love will never fade
A closeness never before seen
This is how I’ll prove it to you
That you can completely trust me
So you see my feelings are true
And real love is what this must be
