Rays Of Light

 

Information contextual

never absolute

Naked in isolation

relative and moot

 

Inspiration celestial

gifted from the throne

Sending rays to light the dark

— truth to stand alone

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)

 

Science

 

One step

forward

two steps back

 

Look around

you

see the facts

 

Sky scraped

cities

health care gods

 

Obese

on drugs

gender fog

 

Ghetto

masters

children stoned

 

War

a plaything

religion owned

 

Information

but a mask

to hide us from the truth

 

DNA

and quantum theory

— kills the Golden Goose

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)

 

 

Dreamsleep

 

No words into boxes

all Muses set free

Not quatrain or sonnet

or limerick for me

The feeling’s unleashing

the verse as decreed

Whose words birth inside me

— unspoken in dreams

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)

 

 

Feelings

 

They come to

me vacant

 

No plans

to deceive

 

In silence

they wait

 

My words

— to conceive

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mors Spiritualis

 

Spiritual pornography

who is to blame

The prophets the poets

lascivious shame

 

With prurient verses

stark naked their prose

Defaming what’s virgin

their lust to impose

 

And when they have finished

exposing their ruse

They choke on its meaning

and die self-abused

 

(Rosemont College: February, 2024)

 

 

 

Divinity’s Pew

 

The truth stands in contrast

to only itself

Once mentioned eternal

when thought and then felt

It lives in the ether

past fortune or fame

Conscripted by conscience

no praise and no blame

The truth beyond reason

beyond lies or consent

The lucky among us

to follow its scent

Its trail leads to faith

divinity’s pew

Transforming the moment

— you first say I do

 

(Rosemont College: February, 2024)

 

 

 

Freezing The Moment

 

Are you the

lead actor

within your own myth

 

The script

ever changing

the past in its crypt

 

Can you freeze

the moment

with only one word

 

The Angel’s

applauding

— the devil unheard

 

(Rosemont College: February, 2024)

 

 

 

Salt Lick

 

Politicians

endow a sword

to the few

— to command the many

 

(Rosemont College: February, 2024)

 

 

Modern Education

 

Learning more

about less and less

Feeling torn

in great duress

Faith attacked

 we hide from myths

Real love scorned

— ourselves we kiss

 

(Rosemont College: February, 2024)

 

 

Marx In Hell

 

Political salvation

the god of failure

Beatifying the collective

— on the devil’s throne

 

(Rosemont College: February, 2024)

 

 

Gnostic Dreams

 

The brighter the glare

we discover around us

The darker the light

stays hidden within

Secular salvation

a digital failure

God’s imminent nature

— indistinguishable from ours

 

(Rosemont College: February, 2024)

 

 

‘Sage To The Court Jester …’

 

God’s truth — Man’s truth

bridging the difference

trust in the Muse

 

(Rosemont College: February, 2024)

 

 

 

Living Well — Dying Well

precepts of destiny

bookends of fate

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)

 

+  — 

 

Patience and time

Courage or fear

Pleasure then pain

Smiles and tears

 

Future and past

Joy or remorse

Vision when blind

Blessing or curse

 

Borrow or steal

Praise and then blame

Life unto death

Loss or a gain

 

Reason and anger

Random or fate

Plussing the minus

— open the gate

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)

 

 

 

Body & Soul

 

Disease …

robs you

of your health

 

Dementia …

robs you

 of yourself

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)

 

 

\

Politics and war

twin pillars of conflict

“Charge into weakness

retreat if there’s strength” 

 

 High in the tower

dividing to conquer

Fate looking down

— as your destiny waits

 

(The New Room: February, 2024)

Closing his eyes

one last time

 a man can finally see

 

Opening his heart

time undone

 feelings Joie de Vivre

 

Moving beyond

future and past

 returning to the source

 

Hearing that voice

bathed in the Light

—  love his Tour de Force

 

(The 1^st Book  Of Prayers: February, 2024)

The quicksand of anticipation

— the fire below

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)

 

 

Chameleosis

 

A changing experience

— is not an experience of change

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)

 

 

Dark Feelings

 

Captive of emotion

— prisoner of deceit

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)

 

 

He died

the day before

his birth

the curse had worked again

 

Generations

in the womb

their feticide

a last amen

 

The garden path

a stepford trap

whose fruit trees

bear the scorn

 

Enoch built

to hide the curse

the Mark of Cain

— damnation born

 

(The New Room: February, 2024)

Running off with tomorrow

divorcing today

The moment is orphaned

— all time left astray

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)

Camels in the

brush

Memories in the

fire

Voices in the

wind

Panic in the

mire

 

Messages

conflict

Enemy

conspires

First shot

breaks the silence

Last shot

— lights the pyre

 

(The New Room: February, 2024)

Future horizons

tomorrow in embers

 

Sparks in the distance

— time set on fire
