Pious Deception

Religion

is the death of God

conscripting Him away

 

Cloaked in false

propriety

enlightenment at bay

 

Religion

is the death of God

scriptures to mislead

 

All piety

a false disguise

worshipping the creed

 

Religion

is the death of God

whose armies rage and burn

 

Killing

in the name of One

—whose love they claim to yearn

 

(The New Room: December, 2023)

 

Gauntlet Of Time

Gauntlet Of Time

 

Calling me forward

taking me back

Promising nothing

stepping over the cracks

 

A doorway awaits

threshold of pain

Whose entrance is crumbling

—to cross heaven gained

 

(Villanova University: December, 2023)

 

 

Over The Rainbow

 

No difference between

good and bad

when eyes

are caught between

What matters most

and matters least

the treasure

—sight unseen

 

(Villanova University: December, 2023)

 

Ramblings

Foothills

 

The physics

of metaphysics …

the part I like the best

 

Where symbols yearn

as planets turn

—new twigs to build the nest

A Picture

 

Imagery and symbols

are worth a thousand words

Why poetry is lauded

but prose routinely heard

 

To paint each word intrinsic

as dawn brush strokes the day

Each verse leaves time uncanvassed

—mortality at bay

 

(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)

 

 

To Heaven And Back

 

If birds couldn’t fly

they wouldn’t sing

The world would stop spinning

and bells wouldn’t ring

 

Wings are their freedom

the sky their excuse

To heaven and back

—all hearts are infused

 

(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)

 

 

The Road Less Traveled

 

Does the truth

of the world

lie in common

experience

 

Mathematics

and philosophy

forever

say no

 

Innovation

and discovery

fight shared

understanding

 

One should always

be wary

or forever

—forgo

 

(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)

 

 

Bearing False Witness

 

Death by omission

death by nature

Where evil misleads

—deception grows

 

(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)

 

 

 

 

Lock Step

 

Poets

miming

poets

The blind

leading

the blind

Mud

stirring up

from the bottom

Concealing

a likeness

—in kind

 

(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)

 

 

Virgin Dreams

 

Creating something

as yet undiscovered

Consciousness battles

—as memory attacks

 

(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)

 

 

 

In The Same Vein

Prisoner Of Language

 

Will time live eternal

or just its retelling

A prisoner of language

whose paradox mined

 

Dimension in contrast

ill-fated contrition

To look but not touch

—and hope they align

 

(Rosemont College: December, 2023)

 

 

 

Through A Vacuum

 

Biologically tethered

time is the demon

Your flesh and your blood

by nature defined

 

Each tic of the clock

your heart beats in cadence

Dogmatic in method

caught up in the brine

 

What if your consciousness

took a leap forward

Abandoning reference

erasing the lines

 

Polarity exits

its jail through a vacuum

Releasing reversing

—becoming sublime

 

(Rosemont College: December, 2023)

 

Starting Over

 

Dig up the foundation

requestion each premise

Wade through the bathwater

the baby must go

 

A leap when it’s quantum

still subject and object

Fly out of the portal

—rejecting what’s known
