Did time predate matter,

unto itself

 

Alive A Priori

—wholly indwelt

 

(Dreamsleep: July, 2021)

Burned

by the flame of

of his observation

 

Charred

by the memory

of a final wish

 

(Dreamsleep: July, 2021)

Reigning in his own demise,

the alcoholic stumbles

 

Falling from the ramparts high,

hard upon the ground

 

A monarchy of lost regret,

in anger’s shame he crumbles

 

Trapped inside a broken dream

—heartache’s thorny crown

 

(Rosemont College: July, 2021)

I’m willing to accept

that it’s all but a cloud

Memory behind me,

and draped in a shroud

 

I’m willing to accept

my fatality deemed

A portal indentured

—to dreams left undreamed

 

(Dreamsleep: July, 2021)

Ideas…

cut glass of perception,

Obsidian tomorrows

—etching today

 

(Dreamsleep: July, 2021)

That by which you no longer win

—you forever lose

 

(Dreamsleep: July, 2021)

Lost in confusion,

distracted by tomorrow

anxiety his lover

—memory undreamed

 

(Dreamsleep: July, 2021)

The road taken,

a path unwalked,

direction unto fate

 

A choice is made,

the debt unpaid

—redemption coming late

 

(Dreamsleep: July, 2021)

Too far from the mojo

—too close to the fire

 

(Dreamsleep: July, 2021)

Be careful when

the Siren calls

 

because…

 

Where you fall in love

is where you’ll stay

 

(Dreamsleep: July, 2021)
