Often

words that

condemn

offer salvation

 

Their

juxtaposition

the blink

of an eye

 

What starts

to indict

turns into

redemption

 

The turn

of a phrase

their meaning

— belies

 

(The New Room: March, 2025)

 

 

 

 

Returning to my past

effects became causes

Finishes became starts

descended upon

 

The light there to spin

in spheres of infinity

Time the impostor

— beginning to end

 

(Dreamsleep: March, 2025)

Reincarnation

eternity’s myth

You’re incarnated

only once

Though many transitions

are stamped with time’s pretense

As it was in the beginning

— it will be at the end

 

(Dreamsleep: March, 2025)

The most constant romance

 the one with yourself

The most lasting friendship

the mirror defines

The most sacred promise

only yours to break

The most valued feelings

— your treasure inside

 

 

(The New Room: February, 2025)

Star-crossed by the years

 a cuckhold of fate …

I made love to you

in the copulate verses

of another time

— and another life

 

(Dreamsleep: March, 2025)

The day you

discover

that it’s you

who makes it all right

Is the day you

uncover

what destiny holds true

— and prophecy foretold

 

(Villanova University: March, 2025)

 

What is love

if not an out of body

experience

 

Proving the dualist

philosophers right

— and the poet’s words set free

 

(The New Room: March, 2025)

What creates a mood

better than music

A tonic to fill

the empty spaces

 and writer’s block

 

What transports the words

better than music

As Elton, Paul

and Cole have shown

— its gift to reign supreme

 

(The New Room: March, 2025)

The hardest stones

cannot withstand

— what only men endure

 

(Dreamsleep: March, 2025)

Never to discover

the limits of soul

Such is the depth

of its station

 

The nature of being

  not what’s distilled

But what’s left

— from evaporation
