We have nothing to do

—but be who we are

 

(Dreamsleep: August, 2022)

Fictitious dreaming

those voices call

Imagined bliss

where ghosts enthrall

 

Enigma fashioned

bespoke to fit

Fantasia moments

—belief remits

 

(Dreamsleep: August, 2022)

Good girls ask permission

bad girls seek forgiveness

Sins two faced till time erased

—sisters of injustice

 

(Dreamsleep: August, 2022)

 

Justice has no borders

liberty no walls

Freedom lives beyond the realm

of tyrants big and small

 

Blood once spilled in battle

generations to enthrall

Sealing hope in memories deep

—to those who heed the call

 

(Dreamsleep: August, 2022)

To kill the dreamer

not the dream

Each wish reborn

—all hope redeemed

 

(The New Room: August, 2022)

Trapped by a promise

 exitway

closed

 

Memories held captive

hope

long deposed

 

Dreams

shattered mirrors

shards that implode

 

Sentenced to wander

despondent

I go

 

 (Villanova University: August, 2022)

Cheap art

or excellent craft

You decide

what floats the raft

 

Good intentions

hell repaved

Choice emboldened

—heaven saved

 

 

(Dreamsleep: August, 2022)

Preying on the truth

politics sets the trap

Isolating fact from fiction

always on attack

 

Their circles non-concentric

each area zero-sum

To tempt your fate with poison bait

—never to become

 

(The New Room: July, 2022)

Parasites never worry

about the host

Sucking out the lifeblood

—spitting on the corpse

 

(Dreamsleep: August, 2022)

 

Thoughts once spoken

the bottle open

Genie tenured

—reentry closed
