Leaving tomorrow
starting again
Moments resplendent
free of the din
Touching a sunrise
kissing the rain
Hugging a moonbeam
— joy preordained

The thing
about rhyme
is you can’t help
but read it
The glue
in the verbiage
whose tonic
is needed
Uniting
each line
with the magic
of sound
Melding the
moment
as phrases
— surround

Staring into
a crystal gaze
The throng is burning
purple haze
Music blaring
notes on fire
Crescendo glaring
demon ire
Staring into
a crystal gaze
The faces foreign
voices bade
In unison
their screams demand
Encored tribute
— to save the band
(Dreamsleep: September, 2024)
How will you ever
afford yourself
the cost
beyond your means
How will you pay
the price of longing
financing
your dreams
How will you leverage
the cost of hope
interest rates
on fire
How will you love
your heart
in debt
— bankrupting desire
(Dreamsleep: September, 2024)
Beauty and truth
forever embark
Born of the moment
together apart
To mountains unclimbed
and oceans unsailed
Beyond the horizon
— where prescience unveils
(Dreamsleep: September, 2024)
Sometimes
they reason
sometimes
they don’t
The meaning
implicit
or lost
in the notes
Sonically
free
of all
cogency found
Truth
in the melody
harmonically
— sound
(Dreamsleep: September, 2024)
The eyes
of an eagle
the heart
of a lion
The soul
of a poet
the wealth
of a scion
The pain
of a martyr
the joy
of a smile
The love
of another
divinity’s
— child
(Ist Book Of Prayers: September, 2024)
Live in
the jungle
Exist
in the zoo
The cage
all consuming
When captive
… adieu
At risk
in the wild
Or safe
through the glass
All life in
the difference
To roar
— or to gasp
(The New Room: September, 2024)
Truth
not a dictum
of majority
Credence
more pointed
abhorring a crowd
Its tenets
relentless
called from its slumber
To censor
the many
— its voice zero sum
(Villanova University: September, 2024)
When quenching
the silence
alone at the well
One ladle
awaits me
and loneliness quelled
Tomorrow resurgent
all thirst
fading fast
My shadow
refilling
— the emptiness past
(Dreamsleep: September, 2024)
