Youth,
the perception
—of what time throws away
(Dreamsleep: April, 2020)
Her Eyes
There’s a power that only certain women have,
a force beyond words to describe
Where your breath is frozen, and your eyes are locked,
with every move freeing her guise
You surrender the only thing certain and sure,
your downfall worth all she unmasks
The future and past in a war they’ll both lose
—as you give what her eyes never ask
(Dreamsleep: April, 2020)
For Those
For those who will listen,
and those who can hear
For those it will matter
—your words to endear
(Dreamsleep: April, 2020)
Laid Bare
You have to be naked
inside a Poem
Exposed in its limelight,
a baby new born
Starving the doubt
by feeding the fear
Everything revealed
—your back to the wall
(Dreamsleep: April, 2020)
