The Cycle (+2)

Feeding hope to the flame

  fodder to the mystery

 

Light unto the darkness

  —life begins again

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2015)

 

Beyond All Excuse

 

Poetry…

Attacking the mood

Driving its impression inward

Beyond all excuse

Wounding the intellect

Calling out names

Saving the moment

  —resurrecting the soul

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2015)

 

 

The Present Revived

 

Released from the prison

Of the extended word

Verse offered

Asylum

And a means of escape

 

Carrying me deep

To where the future-past  

Hides

All time to mislead

 —as the present conflates

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2015)
