What if our reasoned language
can’t provide any answers
—what if time isn’t real
What if the thoughts that we have
are embedded distractions
—what if reflection conceals
What if the feelings engendered
are like puppeteers strings
—what if truth doesn’t dance
What if the past and tomorrow
are death to the moment
—what if it’s all just a trance
(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2018)
Death But A Servant
Making love to the Muse
newborns fell upon the page
And we named them one by one
as we lined them up by age
Making love to the Muse
a new progeny was spawned
With death now but a servant
—and each child turned to song
(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2018)

Kurt,
Brilliantly written thoughts!
Many what if(s)to be considered!
After all that it’ll be said and done, it’ll be up to the voters to decide!
~Laura~
That's my hope!
Thanks Laura
Kurt
As is mine, my friend!
No matter which continent I’ve visited or resided in, the puppeteers DO pull the strings!
Kurt, the words you've penned take the reader through a logical thought process.
You make the reader "think with this poem and then he or she is left to wonder if what you've stated may be true. What if there is really a parallel universe. 🙂
Great poem from a wonderful writer.
Thanks Tamara, I'm both honored and humbled.
Kurt
Kurt,
You truly are a brilliant writer! You amaze me with every posting!
• Death But A Servant
The first couplet is deliciously enticing! It’s like taking a bite of a delicious treat...
One bite is not enough...
Must finish the entire treat...
That’s how it felt reading your gem...
“Death But A Servant “
~Laura~
You are the only one with the unending ability to leave
me—speechless.
Thanks so much, Laura.
Kurt

Based on the depth of your comments, I totally agree!
