When you’re out of options
—it’s no time to make a choice
(Dreamsleep: May, 2020)
Dreams Forgotten
Whispers before me,
echoes behind
Voices portending,
words to remind
Sleepless imprisoned,
nights linger on
Shadows approaching
—memory gone
(Dreamsleep: May, 2020)
Tip Of The Spear
An army of lions…
led by a lamb
An army of sheep…
led by a lion
The fangs out in front
first bite is the deepest
A wound more than fatal
—destruction sublime
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2020)
Fated To Go
Does trying to disprove
what I believe
make you feel better about what
you don’t…
Is your insecurity
crying out
that maybe I feel something
you won’t…
Does the depth of my commitment
bother you so
leaving you distant
fearful and alone…
Like a branch that’s now broken
swinging high in the tree
one strong gust
—and you’re fated to go
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2015)
