Forever To Feast (+3)

Regurgitant youth,

digestive age

 

All life a buffet,

serving up on the page

 

Chew before swallowing,

savor each piece

 

That first you ingested

—forever to feast

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2019)

 

 

 

Transformed

 

Intention is to fact,

as water is to ice

 

Its truth in transformation

—the naughty and the nice

 

(Dreamsleep: September, 2019)

 

 

 

Veracity\'s Throne

 

“Truth before beauty,”

the Sage said with a scowl

 

“Aesthetics a vacuum,

devoid of its howl

 

“The beauty of truth

is that truth stands alone

 

“Eternity’s mirror

—veracity’s throne”

Hidden In Rhyme

 

A poem,

a riddle

 

An answer

to find

 

A Sage,

 a gamester

 

All truth

undefined

 

What’s hidden,

most treasured

 

Its fortune

to mine

 

Tomorrow

awaiting

 

Sequestered

—in rhyme
