The Autumn Wind
leaves summer in denial
Winter’s invitation sent,
but yet unstamped
Memories through the trees,
fall distant, left untitled
That fate will name
—when springtime calls again

The Autumn Wind
leaves summer in denial
Winter’s invitation sent,
but yet unstamped
Memories through the trees,
fall distant, left untitled
That fate will name
—when springtime calls again
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2019)
Respect for time,
Disdain for time,
The double edge
—the narrow ledge
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2019)
A fresh diagnosis,
waiting to die
Time now unmortgaged,
foreclosure in sight
The documents present,
endorsement unsigned
Appraisal—reprisal,
the path freshly limed
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2019)
Genius…
beyond definition
—truth redefined
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2019)
Dreaming in the shadows,
by the light of the moon
My feelings chasing words
—that can speak for us all
(Dreamsleep: October, 2019)
Mercurial freedom
Beyond sexuality
Love trumping weakness
—truth beyond lies
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2019)
There’s a certain type of age
that can’t get old
Death caught within the road signs
of its bartered weakness
Where voices cry a fevered wish
to all who listen
And legends write their epitaphs
—on hearts afire
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2019)
I like hitchhiking
because it’s clean…
Its ending not restrained
by false beginnings
The future more indentured
than the past
With freedom wrapped inside
this very moment
Each car another chance
—to say goodbye
(Dreamsleep: October, 2019)
Ironic…
what we forgive in our heroes
Their faults,
tragic badges of fame
Our glasses,
colored rose without brambles
Their legend
—sealed in myth beyond blame
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2019)
The wildness of nobility,
the fire before the storm
The question with many answers
—the substance within the form
(Dreamsleep: October, 2019)
