Have I finally truly said it all
running out of words
Thoughts and feelings too remote
my pen a blunted sword
The doors revolve and seasons change
as Winter calls my name
Whose grammar laced with period ends
and fingers stricken lame
A final time my eyes shut tight
to fall into a dream
Just one more word—new phrase to grace
reaching for the cream
(Villanova University: July, 2022)
Caging The Snake
You first forgive
to then forget
Judgment lost
in past regret
To change the mantra
soul’s unfilled
And cage the snake
—from now until
(Freemont Street Las Vegas: July, 2022)
