Reality A Twin (+8)

The inside looking out,

   the outside looking in

 

Two sides of the same mirror,

—reality a twin

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)

 

 

Singularity

 

Distraction is to the truth,

—as opinion is to belief

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)

 

 

 

The Wind

 

When emptiness,
replaces memory

The wind,
—forever ceases to blow



(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2016)

 

 

 

Each Dance

 

Your heart says yes, your mind says no,

eternity bi-polar

 

A time to kill, a time to love,

—each dance best danced alone

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2017)

 

 

 

First Bite

 

Literary vignette,

snippet of truth

 

A little bit pregnant,

—baby’s first tooth

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2017)

 

 

 

Adieu

 

Deposit after deposit, memory is stored,

interest compounding anew

 

 To transfer its balance of riches and gains,

—avarice must first bid adieu

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2017)

 

 

 

Solitude

 

The beauty of isolation,

the magic in being alone

 

A singular attraction,

—sagacious undertone

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2017)

 

 

A Joy - A Curse

 

Loving one woman…
a joy unto heaven

Loving two women…
a curse upon the soul

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2016)

 

 

Legacy Still Unheard

 

From deep in the shadows of Tin Pan Alley,

the Sage called out my name

 

With a voice that haunted and eyes concealed,

he made his only claim

 

Saying…

 

“Abuse yourself if you must My Son,

but you are never to mistreat your words

 

Untainted they connect your feelings and thoughts,

—your true legacy still unheard”
