I swore
over and over
and
over and over
Forever
to love her
no matter
the whim
But time
after time
as each siren
would call
I rambled
and left her
my nose
— in the wind
(Dreamsleep: December, 2024)

Good taste
— wears no brand
(Dreamsleep: December, 2024)
Necessary
but not
sufficient
Stated
but
unheard
Always wrong
but never
in doubt
Sworn
but forever
— unwed
(Dreamsleep: December, 2024)
Etching my name immortal
the words when left my pen
Take on a new perspective
beyond both me and them
Etching all time eternal
the future is renamed
Calling forth beyond true north
— my destiny reclaimed
(Dreamsleep: December, 2024)
Tending anger’s
raging garden
seeds lie
burnt and dire
Each fiery breath
a vine ensnares
with thorns
of bloody ire
Tending anger’s
furrowed hate
with vehement
acclaim
A tirade lost
within the rows
of dark
— unending pain
(The New Room: December, 2024)
Hiding from
the day
with night
growing short
The light
to expose
what darkness
— aborts
(Dreamsleep: December, 2024)
When you subsidize
my excess
You underwrite
my greed
Each payment made
my hunger craves
And gluttoned passion
— needs
(Dreamsleep: December, 2024)
Competition …
what keeps us alive
Sharpening our edges
fueling our drive
Setting new benchmarks
pushing the bar
Forever defining
— just who we are
(Dreamsleep: December, 2024)
Are you the CEO
of your passion
the chief of your desires
Are you the captain
of your intention
the master of what inspires
Are you the owner
of your discovery
the clearing in the fog
Are you the light
of your reflection
— a servant before God
(The New Room: December, 2024)
As hedonists dally
to never explain
The greatest pleasure
— the absence of pain
(Dreamsleep: December, 2024)
