Closer to words
than I am to people
Meaning,
in place of love
Heart felt recital,
truant revival
In script
—to rise above
(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2019)
New Tracks In Search
My ticket punched, the fares been paid,
a train sits waiting, rails now laid
My ticket punched, the past on hold,
a future scorned, the present bold
My ticket punched, the whistle blows,
its light shines distant, truth aglow
My ticket punched, a burning thirst,
a heart to quench—new tracks in search
(Villanova Station: March, 2017)
Forever Young
Is a poem ever finished…
or a song completely sung
Does today end with tomorrow
—is love forever young
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)
Fear Stalks The Night
Making sense of it all…
our grandest myth
Wisdom born of age,
bleeding youth’s betrayal
Questions dry unvarnished,
cold naked in the night
Darker darks reface the cliff,
all edges sharper cut
Two images, clearer than before,
preying in deadly contrast
Wonder imprisoning the day
—fear stalking the night
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)
