Waiting for the future
to come to him
He hid from the past
— in moments sublime

Fear Rewinds
You ask me why
I’ve been to lands
that you have
never seen
While you refuse
to cross the line
where safety
gives reprieve
I marked the trail
in blood and pain
the door behind
unlocked
Where you stand fast
while stuck in place
as fear
— rewinds your clock

Their Cost Demands
The purchase price
of truth
is life
The purchase price
of truth
is death
Life or Death
their cost
demands
What zero-sum
their will
— commands

Inside The Shadow
He didn’t know
he knew it
until he did
He never took
offense
at wounds rebled
He traveled
in place
at one fell swoop
Inside
the shadow
— of time’s rebuke
**
Time’s Regret
In tears
I drown
from heartaches
cast
And grief
my spirits
sole
repast
A memory
ridden
with time’s
regret
In search
of silence
to then
— forget
**
Shadow’s Long
Forever waiting …
but then for what
The days retreating
the years untouched
A haunting vacuum
shadows long
Anticipation’s
— forgotten song
**
This Moment Alive
The future an orphan
born in the past
The present dynamic
destined to last
This moment alive
without reference or spin
Set free by the instant
— to happen within
