Devil's Talk (+2)

The threshold of lies

is hearsay

The jailer and killer

—of truth

(Devil’s Tower: July, 2019)

Love's Reality—Unreal

Your lies much more exciting,

than any truth you never told

Stolen moments of pure delight,

the future your cuckold

Touch betrays what your eyes still hide,

my dreams you come to steal

As your body moves with time divorced,

love’s reality—unreal

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)

Orphaned Moments

Do your lies hold as hostage,

every truth you never told

Has your heart become a stranger,

to the wishes it unfolds

Is your past if then forsaken,

free at last of its own self

Orphaned memories never spoken

—orphaned moments never felt

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)
