Everyone wants to teach

 until that day of learning comes

 

No longer needing to find themselves

 in accolades, praise—or love

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

 

Prosthetic language can never fix

 a Poems broken joints

 

Only inspiration can set

 the break for sure

 

Crutches and canes to prop up verse

 severely disappoint

 

Perception falling on its face

 —a crippled lost poseur

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

The 4^thdimension,

 space and time

 

Godel agreed,

 Einstein opined

 

If set in motion,

 the future passed

 

Time self negated

 —its truth recast

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

 

 

 

 

Many fuels create the heat,

 but one temperature reigns supreme

 

Many fuels create the heat

 —but one temperature frees the light

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

Our brains push away

 as humanity pulls

 

Cerebrum benighted

 —emotion to school

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

 

Truth thrives in contradiction

 the difference sharply honed

 

A neither nor redemption

 as zero-sum is known

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

Can you imagine something

 beyond your conception

 

Can the truth hide from view

 exposed in plain sight

 

Can you forget to remember

 or remember to forget

 

Is all darkness misleading

 —the safe harbor of light

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

 

 

 

 

 

My mind is a garden

 whose plants have grown tall

 

Their season end harvest

 awaiting the call

 

Ideas and feelings

 cross over in rows

 

The laughter of children

 to lead where they go

 

My thoughts now a storeroom

 the food all put up

 

Its sustenance waiting

  for time to erupt

 

The answers gone fallow

 inside of my head

 

All questions reseeded

   —and pointing ahead

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

All worth free of sanction

 its value beyond time

 

Our oath most revealing

  a memory divine

 

The Bard more prophetic…

 “To Thine Own Self Be True”

 

One meaning transcendent

   —that gift unto you

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The moment…

 something other than time

 

A consonant failure,

 its freedom in rhyme

 

Happening once,

 as it happens again

 

Beyond every measure

 —without and within
