You steal my breath,
as I borrow your words
You fill my eyes,
as I empty my fear
Your heart beats in my chest,
as it breaks in my soul
You begin where I end
—symbiosis reborn
(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2016)
On My Writing
I write the first draft,
and paint the second
But the third draft
—I get to sing
(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2016)
His Voice To Call
The Crucifixion self-endowed,
the greatest of all men
His death then chosen, not denied,
message not forsaken
His torment was a sacrifice,
an offering to all
Our souls to rise through bread and wine
—his voice again to call
(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2016)
From ‘The Book Of Prayers’
The Inferno
Life is memory
Art is pain
Time a liar
—feed the flame
(Wayne Pennsylvania: May, 2019)

If all Philosophy
is a footnote to Plato
Then all Rock & Roll
—is but a tribute to the Blues
(Chicago Illinois: August, 1994)
