Does the chemist succeed
without blowing things up
Were you ever in need
from a bout of bad luck
Does the tree need to shake
for the apples to fall
Does your heart need to break
—for new love to then call
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)
Poetry
A nuclear missile
A singular rose
A Montana sunset
A one-year-olds toes
A diary unfound
A moment unclaimed
A story unwritten
A lover renamed
A sadness rekindled
A joy beyond bounds
A cry from an eagle
A wink from a clown
A walk among Angels
A glimpse into hell
A crossing of rainbows
A last wishing well
A father unsired
A son higher bred
A Grand Canyon sunrise
A note from the dead
A beggar enthroned
A gift undeserved
A feeling eternal
—a feeling to own
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)
The Last Hospice
Once the words are written down
—you\'ll never die alone
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)
The Enemy Within
If there’s anything more dangerous
than a terrorist
—it’s a corrupt politician
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2019)
