Immersed in dark matter,
it fights not to hide
A target blood red,
and covered in lies
It cries out for justice,
it cries out in pain
Until an arrow strikes deeply,
truth firmly ingrained
Its point bringing light,
its shaft driving home
A message of hope,
into falsehood atoned
And deep in your memory,
a last orphan screams
Renamed in the vengeance
—rebirthed in this dream

Threatening Kobolds
Escaping the prose…
I hid in the verse
My mind to compose,
instead of converse
Defying description,
I sang through the notes
And placed my inscriptions
in lyrical rote
I chose to hear music
over reasons again
To dine with the mystics,
where forever begins
And when forcing my pen
back to stories untold
The Muse starts to darken

Unclaimed
A Poetess schemes
A Poetess dreams
In the thick afterglow
Of what’s never to know
Her feelings unsure
Her words premature
Her voice still unnamed
—her suitor unclaimed
(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2016)
Across And Through
Crawling across the desert,
Running through the wilderness,
Walking across the ice
—searching for the truth
(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2016)
