No more book fairs or tours
no autographs signed
My words are my gift
the privacy mine
No talk shows or fetes
New York Times to eschew
Questions unanswered
—my thoughts unreviewed
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2018)
Baptism Of Fire
His spirit denounced
his body on fire
His words rechristened
—the past but a liar
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2018)
Pieces Of My Heart
I lose myself over and over
before finding my way again
Promises surely I will break
pieces—my heart to mend
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2014)
Lost Forever
Music…
drowning the words
in false harmony
Honesty…
lost forever
inside the verse
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2013)
Those Who Give
Those of us who give nothing
ask everything…
—from those who give it all
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2013)
