Poetry…

Conduit

Of the truth

 

Speaker

Of the almighty

Silence

 

Last synapse

Of a feeling

Lost

 

Nerve ending

Of a forgotten

Dream

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)

Becoming totally involved

  —keeping your opinions to yourself

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)

 

The minimum standard defining a man

 —taking care of his family

 

The minimum standard defining a woman

  —taking care of her man

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

Forever rented,

 never owned

 

The moment leased

 —the future loaned

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

Money…

  an ungrateful heir

 

Disowning all memory

  —with your ashes still warm

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)

 

The older I get,

  the louder the Muse does parade

 

The shorter the moment,

  the deeper her message invades

 

The older I get,

  distant voices wither and fade

 

With death on the fringe

  —all focus recentered and staged

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)

You hate in your enemy

  —what you most love in yourself

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)

As natural and necessary

 as breathing

   —I write

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

 

 

Who declared politics

 a zero-sum sport

 

Where stadium’s freeze

 and statesmen abort

 

That last final moment

 in a sudden death game

 

With truth as the loser

 —forever in shame

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

 

 

Poetry…

the marriage of raw emotion

 —and unbridled thought

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)
