Can you ever really lose
what you’ve never really had
Can you ever be good
if you’ve never been bad
Can you ever pose a question
that’s never been asked
Can the answer prove elusive
when the future is past
Can the moments live on frozen
if only in your heart
Can the love you give unspoken
shout the loudest unremarked
Can you ever really finish
what was never yours to start
Can your light shine on eternal
—without passing through the dark

‘From The Book Of Prayers’
Goodbye Laura
Divorcing the Muse,
her property demands were high
The alimony my insight,
leaving me speechless, high and dry
Once the papers were signed,
it was the last I was to write
Visitation denied
—monthly support payments in light
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)
'Dedicated To Our Own Laura...'
His Ears To Find
Never writing for the unholy dollar,
but that kid in a hundred years
When the world has irrevocably changed,
and lies are all one hears
If he could happen to chance upon my words,
just once while searching blind
Then my humble verse would breathe new life
—within his ears to find
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)
Truth's Refrain
Is freedom a mere habit
or by will prescribed
Are our actions predetermined
or self applied
Is consciousness a desert
or paradise unclaimed
Each thought an oasis
—watering truth’s refrain
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)
Verum Tamen—Verum Est
The Self, Free Will, and Love…
today’s three illusions of life
Without just one our lives negate,
a charlatan’s delight
For the Self to Love most Freely,
this Holy Trinity must preside
What Plato ordained and Kant reframed
—modern thought tries most to hide
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)

Kurt,
Good Morning!☀️
• “The Light Eternal”
A plethora of intriguing questions. I can answer each couplet with a yes, a no, a maybe, or perhaps a combination of the three! For me, whatever the answers may be, my heart is in all of them! Some joyous...some painful...some in limbo!
“Can your light shine on eternal
—without passing through the dark”
Without the darkness, we can’t see the shining light!
~Laura~
I've succeeded then! Thanks for the emotion and the insight.
Kurt
Yes, you have!
It seems to me...
you always do!🤗
I'm thinking about filing divorce proceedings with Laura. I'm afraid
the property settlement might just leave me penniless (speechless).
:-0
You can file divorce proceedings...
Good luck getting her consent on that divorce! She’s relentless! The divorce will NEVER happen! Totally out of the equation!💖
• “Goodbye Laura”
😥😥😥😥😥
Sustainable Alimony to be granted...and
...‘monthly support payments’...
to be delivered on time!
With much love, respect, admiration, and appreciation...
from Laura of MPS!🌻
