Strength is whittled

as thought pervades

 

Indecision

—the dullest blade

 

(The New Room: June, 2021)

Embers of the past…  

fire inside my memory,

cinders of time

—ashes in the wind

 

(The New Room: June, 2021)

Yesterday inside my head

—tomorrow in my heart

 

(Dreamsleep: June, 2021)

Voices have a color

like anger or happiness,

shouting from the rainbow

in palettes of sound

Voices have a color

like red, blue, or green,

painting the silence

—in brushstrokes of fire

 

(Dreamsleep: June, 2021)

Writers…

gatekeepers to the past

—prophets of tomorrow

 

(The New Room: June, 2021)

Blaming the innocent…

a form of insanity

 

Armed with good intention

—reproaching the night

 

(Dreamsleep: June, 2021)

Promises remain where you leave them

—as only the heart decays

 

(Dreamsleep: June, 2021)

Questions…

the measure of uncertainty

 

Answers

—divine masquerade

 

(Dreamsleep: June, 2021)

Love is incapable of honor,

desperation of all that’s unfair

 

Desire unleashed to roam and to prey

—tomorrow for others to bear

 

(Dreamsleep: June, 2021)

Dogs obey,

Cats defer,

the difference something grand

 

Loyalty wags

its loving tail

—as purring hides the fangs
