Artist’s Lament

What did I leave

my family

What have I left

to my kids

What did we share

together

Why would they ever

forgive

The things I kept

inside me …

The times I sat

alone …

The things I hid

in silence …

Those times

—that haunt me so

Verba Artis

Words are like paint

your voice is the brush

The image though spoken

both vivid and lush

 

Each page but a portrait

your canvas when bound

Today and tomorrow

—eternity’s sound

As Wheels Fall Off …

A simulated consciousness

beyond our will to choose

Defying Einstein, Bohr, and Hume

where logic stands defused

 

The matter at hand can’t matter

when rules unwrite themselves

An order once thought preordained

—entropic and indwelt

Last Riff

Pounding each key

like a Fender Rhodes

the computer bent and wailed

Bits and bytes

of encrypted language

messages derailed

 

Memory freezes

last chance rebooted

restart zero-sum

The riff uncapped

its printout fading

—typeface on the run

Veritas Rex

 

Nothing more powerful

than speaking the truth 

Pangs of deception

beguile uncouth 

Spoken immortal

knighted profound

Today and tomorrow

—veracity crowned

Waiting For An Answer

Sleep, sleep,

tiny footsteps of death

walking through my dreams

hiding from the light

 

Calling out my name,

waiting for an answer

guardian of the exit

—to damn or delight

Haunting Silences

Whispers …

deep inside my pillow

Reminding

of each fleeting voice

trapped beyond the wind

 

Memories …

bending like a willow

Weighing down

my broken dreams

—the future lost within

Amicis

Friends …

commitment beyond blood

 diamonds among pearls

—family of choice

No Curtain Call

As we age

death

reclaims us

Stealing

our youth

and then our hope

 

In the ground

where

memories rot

Willing us

nothing

—but the dark

Day By Day

The only thing permanent  

about peace

—is impermanence
