Did you not love, as flame the fire,
when springtime came in view
Your soul to task, no futures past
—the world again anew
(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2019)
Renewed
Squeezing out a different meaning,
with each new moment passed
The choices honed, all time dethroned
—no instant first or last
(Mackinac City Michigan: July, 2019)
Ichiban
That cartridge in a sniper’s gun,
true Poets kill with only one
The shooters bullet marked by him
one word to kill—what lies within
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)
If It's Not One Thing...
First it was rain and then it was snow,
if it’s not one thing it’s another
Once in the dark and now in the know,
if it’s not one thing it’s another
The journey long, the destination obscured,
if it’s not one thing it’s another
Redemption the promise, damnation assured
—if it’s not one thing it’s another
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)
Lost Jewels
One can be too many,
a hundred not enough
When truth battles fear
—all diamonds in the rough
(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2019)
