No Longer In Doubt (+5)

Pushing his will against the status quo,

all time began to move

 

Scouring through each ominous lie,

veracity behooved

 

Giving with nothing left to give,

his soul turned inside out

 

Tomorrow dancing openly with yesterday’s dreams

—today no longer in doubt

No Longer In Doubt

 

Writing to a standard,

embattled in time,

his words both sparse and dire

 

All targets in sight,

his focus most dear,

new readers to inspire

 

His argument made,

with phrases reborn,

the verdict theirs to choose

 

All time on the run,

his will to attack

—with nothing left to lose

A Moment Reborn

 

Waiting for the world

to come round to him,

his words got stored away

 

Waiting for time

to admit its mistake,

the needle in the hay

 

Lying in wait

for a moment reborn,

distilled in silence aged

 

The devil in fear

of the truth coming out

—eternity restaged

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2019)

 

 

 

Neither Friend Nor Foe

 

There’s a haven beyond

all praise and blame,

where true writing can repose

 

All time on the run,

consensus lay shunned

—the truth neither friend nor foe

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2019) 

 

 

Here & There

 

His words in transit,

 world travel unleashed,

the world his page to run

 

Alone in his chair,

both here and then there

—the distance misbecome

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2019)

 

Polar Extremes

 

Explosion / Implosion,

caught in the din

 

Forces once pushing,

now pull from within

 

The physicist cries,

as the mockingbird calls

 

To see past tomorrow,

today in freefall

 

A binary motion

of polar extremes

 

All consciousness split

—dark hole of my dreams
