All virtue intended,
but darkness conspired
The moon bringing shadows,
the wind bringing liars
Our memories entrapped,
as time’s myth reigns again
From clouds that are hidden
—where thunder begins
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)
All virtue intended,
but darkness conspired
The moon bringing shadows,
the wind bringing liars
Our memories entrapped,
as time’s myth reigns again
From clouds that are hidden
—where thunder begins
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)
Perfection and honor,
concealed in the words
Shame and disloyalty,
rejected unheard
Deep in a poem,
truth’s fealty hides
Inhumanity cursed
—its verses defy
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)
Is morality an end point,
or a journey to begin
Are right and wrong just bookends placed,
or what then lies within
All Ethical persuasion,
to attain or just desire
Whose end result will never come
—enflamed without the fire
(Haverford Pennsylvania: July, 2019)
The Lies about tomorrow,
define all truth today
Deceived by joy and sorrow
—all promise gone astray
(Las Vegas Nevada- January, 2017)
A prisoner of devotion,
a Saint indentured pure
The light now holds him captive,
on knees bent to the floor
His silence for a jailer,
his sentence now unlocked
With handcuffs loose and falling
—their key from heaven bought
(Las Vegas Nevada: January, 2017)
Can we ever know creation,
can we ever reach the source
Can knowledge of its power,
transcend this mortal course
Can we join in transformation,
as the old is new again
Is there really a salvation
—where the truth is freed of sin
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)
Today was all you
wanted
The past now fraught
with pain
The hurt was set,
you could not forget
What our love
could not rename
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)
Crossing Montana for the first time…
everything was changed
My heart no longer my own
—my spirit there reclaimed
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)
Living in the present
past—future
combined
The excuses get
cornered
—reasons sublime
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)
Borrow someone else’s truth…
but there’s one you need to own
Whose lease runs out as time grows short
—life’s contract yours alone
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)
