One Spark

The abyss of nothingness

looms large in my consciousness

Churning each moment

belaying the time

 

From Nietzsche to Kierkegaard

their vacuum surrounds me

An active volcano

—whose lava is primed

Through The Maelstrom

The deeper you dig

the simpler it gets

Each question supplanted

—the truth in your debt

Remembering Salinger

What would fame bring

what would it change

One iota of truth

the stoppage of rain

 

Living exposed

the arrows to sling

You know what you know

whether knave or a king

 

Accolades fall

slaps on the back

Stumble or stall

and your patron’s attack

 

Life in the shadows

freedom proclaimed

Famously absent

—yourself to ordain

Lunar Rambling

Filled up again

words pour out

Empty no longer

they whisper and shout

 

Life’s give and take

torrent to drought

The tide and the flow

—flooding the doubt

Counter Intuition

Causality before truth

truth before causation

Universal in transference

inextricably defined

 

An atom of veracity

a little bit pregnant

Plato through Lewis

—reality entwined

Epiphanic

The only thing worth being

—is in awe

Memories In The Stream

Older than you were

younger than I am

Your memory grows inside me

keeper of the flame

 

Each day we spent together

our boyhoods reassured

Connected to forever

—we never asked for more

Lost Stitches

If you can’t stand the criticism

put down your pen

Instead take up knitting

but caution the thread

Too thick and your stifled

too thin and your bare

As needles purl over

—what hides in despair

‘Es Verdad’

He who cannot lie

—will never know the truth

Chasing Destiny

His passion undefeated,

his record 10-0

 

All shutouts in the making

to vanquish every foe

 

The stadium electric

the crowd in fever pitch

 

Expectations through the roof

as hope has been enriched

 

The pressure feeds the fury

like diamonds still to mine

 

Leaving it all on the field

—glory to define

 

(The New Room: October, 2022)
