Verum Tamen—Verum Est

The Self, Free Will, and Love…

 today’s three illusions of life

 

Without just one our lives negate,

 a charlatan’s delight

 

For the Self to Love most Freely,

 this Holy Trinity must preside

 

What Plato ordained and Kant reframed

 —modern thought tries most to hide

His Ears To Find

Never writing for the unholy dollar,

 but that kid in a hundred years

 

When the world has irrevocably changed,

 and lies are all one hears

 

If he could happen to chance upon my words,

 just once while searching blind

 

Then my humble verse would breathe new life

 —within his ears to find

Goodbye Laura

Divorcing the Muse,

 her property demands were high

 

The alimony my insight,

 leaving me speechless, high and dry

 

Once the papers were signed,

  it was the last I was to write

 

Visitation denied

  —monthly support payments in light
