I’ve lived up
till now
with my thumb
in life’s eye
In reckless
abandon
I shucked
and I jived
No virgin
was safe
no harlot
denied
The wages
of sin
my fortune
— allied

Trust
a monopoly
the fickle
must earn
Rooted
in confidence
their faith
must confirm
Trust
is a progeny
whose offspring
endures
Embraced
by the concept
all parties
— adjure
(The New Room: October, 2024)
Friendship
trumps romance
strong feelings beset
without Cupid’s cloud
the road never wet
Friendship
trumps romance
when joy turns to dread
the magic enduring
— far beyond the bed
(The New Room: September, 2024)
Secrets …
callous on your heart
stone around your neck
cellar of respite
weight upon your soul
Deception …
bane upon your conscience
affront to voices hiding
sire of excuses
— truth behind the mask
(Dreamsleep: October, 2024)
Emoted investment
dividends high
Buying then selling
as spirit contrives
Unlimited resource
consciousness fares
In debits and credits
— whose riches ensnare
(Dreamsleep: October, 2024)
Living in the shadow
of a man now gone
Darkness my betrayal
— shades of future past
(Dreamsleep: October, 2024)
Life’s secret
is in the balance
where happiness
— rests
(Dreamsleep: October, 2024)
Philosophy …
a preparation
for death
Groundwork
of ascension
— footnote of goodbye
(Dreamsleep: September, 2024)
Death
the ultimate
release
Freedom’s
Déjà vu
Questions
answers
join as one
Prescience
— shining through
(Dreamsleep: September, 2024)
Outside the mind
they’re no universals
Conflation and trend
— humanity’s bane
(Dreamsleep: October, 2024)
