A mind can love
an atheist
But a soul must wed
to God
Each troth professed
by self possessed
One vow
—to rise above
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)
A Promise Wed
The soul is not
by nature born
Or by the earth
breastfed
It kneels before
loves distant star
Whose light
—its promise wed
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)
Vanity's Ghost
The narcissism
of small differences…
The egos crown
of thorns
The sharper each
individual barb
The more frequently
it’s worn
A grand
pontification
Whose wind
blows just one way
Into the face of
vanity’s ghost
In jealous
—disarray
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)
