My days prolonged,
my nights were short
—my history caught between
Judgment coming
fast and swift
—to escape is then to dream
All time distorted
memory fried
—the past is but a whim
Old lessons spurned,
the seasons turn
—new forces pull within
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2018)
Now As Before
Are those dimensional theories a trap
for what your mind will never understand
Does your spirit lay dormant and fallow
an alien within its own land
Does the math and the science betray you
with the numbers piled outside your door
Is the time sliced and diced infinitum
—deliverance calling now as before
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2018)
Self-Destruction
Thinking more of your constituency
than they do of themselves…
—political suicide
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2018)
New Heartbeats
To die without rhythm
and bleed without rhyme
Each wish left unspoken
in coupling divine
New heartbeats unwritten
that call from within
Their cadence restructured
all verse—now a hymn
Spirit\'s Cry
We’ve had forever to get it right
this religion we hold dear
But why the murder and ‘holy wars’
that underwrite our fear
We stand in judgment and wield belief
with weapons poorly thrown
Our eyes rejecting while spirit’s cry
—our futures poorly sown
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2018)
Final Victory
Beneath the cover of defeat,
final victory comes late
Sustained only by a will
—refusing to give in
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)
This Moment Divine
The older the day
the sweeter the memory
The sweeter the memory
no reasons to find
No reasons to find
tomorrow unmentioned
Tomorrow unmentioned
—the present divine
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2018)
