Before there was light

before there was sound

Gravity wandered

the universe round

 

Plotting the orbits

of things still to come

Spacing the essence

 of all zero-sum

 

(Dreamsleep: June, 2024) 

A legacy for a father

waiting uninspired

Painted by the numbers

paternity required

 

Angel guardian my lost friend

orphanage exile

Free me on this darkest night

lead me through denial

 

Empty titled nominee

robbers roost to hide

Salutation waits unborn

seeded but unrhymed

 

Grand-Pere whose master’s voice

birthed my infant scrawl

Fill me once then fill me twice

— to sire and enthrall

 

(The New Room: June, 2024)

Owning

the memories

of the years

without me

 

I wonder

if your thoughts

ever drift

toward mine

 

Your distance

endemic

a broken

connection

 

Remembering

moments

 our hearts

— intertwined

 

(Dreamsleep: June, 2024)

Hearing vibrations

passivity strains

Learning to listen

hearkening reigns

Sound and resonance

euphony binds

Volition the ears

— eternity finds

 

(Herb Alpert: June, 2024)

The many intersections of life

obscured in complexity

Go left or go right

 to stay or move on

 

The interchange of salvation

whose overpass eludes us

An escape of transcendence

— most never find

 

(The New Room: June, 2024)

Hidden from perdition

disguising me again

Final thorn of life’s florescence

trapped within her pen

 

Darker than the madness

eternity cajoles   

The pathway to forbidden fruit

— her masquerade unfolds

 

(The New Room: June, 2024)

Virtuoso

take me home

to a place

I’ve never been before

 

Virtuoso

play my song

in a voice

I’ve never heard in lore

 

Virtuoso

be my Muse

your flute heard calling

through the mist

 

Virtuoso

fortune’s child

when darkness casts

— my soul remiss

 

(1^st Book of Prayers: June, 2024)

 

 

 

Under the beat

between the notes

inside the groove

— FUNK

 

(Tower Theater: May, 1974)

If we stayed young

and didn’t age

would marriage last

to turn the page

 

Would love endure

and pledges stay

with time becalmed

— and youth sustained

 

(Dreamsleep: May, 2024)

America has lost control

of the Founders rule of law

The criminals are now in charge

as truth has been declawed

 

Locking up the standard bearers

with new self-serving lies

Banana groves are planted deep

— where freedom used to thrive

 

(Independence Hall: May, 2024)
