Can time survive in purer form
devoid of reference
future—past
Can the present become
a bible
for every sage
Like a black hole
compressing within itself
imploding front to back
Its enigma leads
to an eternity dark
—lost candle to the flame

Love\'s Captive
Surrendering to love
—an imprisonment of joy!
