When lost inside a world of dreams,
the Muse becomes my guide
As days and nights stand juxtaposed,
the sun and moon collide
And though my eyes desert me now,
the past and future blind
My parting wish is not to wake
—this sleep forever mine
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)
Breathless
The lungs don’t work
—when the heart is broken
(Dreamsleep: April, 2020)
The Call Of Tomorrow
Divorced from my shadow,
estranged from the words
My heart to philander
—new innocence heard
(Dreamsleep: April, 2020)
Forever Wondering Why
Run away from the what,
let the how lead the way
Keep the questions before you
and the answers at bay
Deem your motion perpetual
with all stops left behind
As those presents unwrapped
open up in your mind
May the wind rise to greet you
and your sun never set
On those places now virgin
and a lover unmet
May the wisdom of sages
be your rallying cry
As you course through the ages
—ever wondering why
(Train-New Haven: March, 2015)
