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)

Like squeezing and gripping

a handful of sand

Your love dropped through

the crevices unrhymed

 

Defining our feelings

with each orphaned word

Lost in the random

—abandon of time

 

(Dreamsleep: December, 2024)

Kneeling

in a confessional

of words

forgiveness wouldn’t come

Absolution

undefined

where beats

— the silent drum

 

(Dreamsleep: December, 2024)

Is the Oracle wise

the Buddha fat

or the Great

Niagara wet

Description wanes

where titan’s reign

as words are left

to falter

And blow upwind

against the grain

in messages

— sublime
