Religions embedded,
division commands
which savior, which heaven,
epistles in hand
Devotion to difference,
each split ever wide
one bible three meanings
—all preaching a lie

Religions embedded,
division commands
which savior, which heaven,
epistles in hand
Devotion to difference,
each split ever wide
one bible three meanings
—all preaching a lie
(Dreamsleep: October, 2021)
Roaming the prairies and fields
of confusion
Coursing the oceans and lakes
of delusion
Resetting my compass by the
northernmost star
Journeying inward
—where near meets the far
(Dreamsleep: October, 2021)
Granting myself latitude,
I stretched every word
In substance and context
—the truth to be heard
(Dreamsleep: October, 2021)
Changing with each season,
voices come and go
what’s lost undreamed, ourselves demeaned,
in search of the unknown
Naked and left wanting,
fortune sires myth
impregnating its mystery
—with tales of the abyss
(Dreamsleep: October, 2021)
Its flow an accordion,
to stretch and compress
A double delusion,
old memory suppressed
New moments upon us,
the instant revealed
Time claiming them all
—redundant concealed
(Dreamsleep: October, 2021)
Can God do what he cannot do,
can a circle then be squared
Can choices made be taken back,
their history stripping bare
Can memory lapse and then recall
the things it chose to miss
Can time be stopped as life goes on
—there chained to ne’er exist
(The New Room: October, 2021)
The words merely borrowed,
to then juxtapose
Each Poet the debtor,
whose lender forgoes
All lines duly tendered,
with verses inured
The beauty, the order
—new feelings assured
(Dreamsleep: October, 2021)
The tragedy of accident,
the wonderment of fate
imprisoning destiny
—on whose steps we wait
(Dreamsleep: September, 2021)
Drowning
in the tides of thirst,
the dam opened wide
—for better or worse
(Dreamsleep: September, 2021)
Deeper than love,
deeper than hate
the abyss that surrounds
inclement to wait
Fortune redundant,
heads in the clouds
escape not an option
—lost faces surround
(Ronald McDonald House: September, 2021)
