Difference In Similarity

Hearing the word

speaking the word

 

Often quite different

—often the same

The Third Wing

The truth in translation

knowledge distraught …

He swept through the cosmos

a truant uncaught

His wings never clipped

his sails never trimmed

He flew through tomorrow

a new Seraphim

Those who were watching

their eyes disbelieve

Unburdened by dogma

—transcendence achieved

Forever & Now

Tell me your secrets

I’ll tell you a lie

 

Bid me good tidings

I’ll bid you goodbye

 

Proffer me kindness

my heart a deaf ear

 

Timeless your offer

—whose moment I fear

Protostar

Will you live with me forever

will you scintillate my dreams

Holding title to my wishes

the island in my stream

 

Will you live with me forever

in a fantasy so wild

Making love to the hereafter

—our one and only child

Verse 20

Old enough to reason

young enough to care

My heart eloping with my mind

mustard seeds to share

 

Adding to the zeitgeist

new bricks within the wall

Laying rhythms one by one

—heeding fortunes call

Yesterday’s Song

Losing connections one by one …

my mind has drifted back 

This moment caught within a cloud  

the past sharp as a tack

 

I reminisce in present tense

new frames of reference gone

With that most recent going dim

but still—I hear that song

Mustard Seeds

Songs of eternity

poets romance

Words of sagacity  

—lyrical dance

Step Carefully

The naive garden

is filled with snakes

To slither and nest

—where ignorance waits

All Or Nothing At All

A therapist skirts the edge of lunacy

like a priest engages sin

 

An evangelist disavows poverty and fear

like a snake that sheds its skin

 

Together they paint the corridors black

with a promised light to come

 

Their patients and converts alone in the dark

salvation zero-sum

Into The Fire

The bridge to Satan  

is paved with envy 

Voices collapsing

in currents below

Its height entices

the moment fleeting

Perdition waiting

—with gate aglow
