Can knowledge surpass
a belief you hold true
Diametrically prescient
when thrust unto you
Is faith but the jailer
of transcendence restrained
With truth serving time
—in a captive domain

Can knowledge surpass
a belief you hold true
Diametrically prescient
when thrust unto you
Is faith but the jailer
of transcendence restrained
With truth serving time
—in a captive domain
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2019)
Do you justify your own beliefs,
to force upon your will
Or skip instead the whole charade,
with truth left to distill
Do you wander aimless in the night,
in search of what you’ve lost
As darkened hallways call you back
—regret the only cost
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2019)
Woefully, the footlights dim,
the magic fades—the chorus grim
A curtain falls as memory fades,
the ending near—one last charade
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2019)
Running from themselves,
the shadows broke away
Light newly orphaned
with no endorsement
Tracks of remembrance,
forgotten and bare
Space filled with emptiness
—connection denied
(Dreamsleep: October, 2019)
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)
