Heavenly Terms (+2)

Owing a debt

you can never repay

Beatitudes leveraged

salvation in play

 

Moments beholden

to all that’s to come

Providence calling

in voices unsung

 

Eternally liable

the invoice sublime

Whose terms reverential

the bursar Divine

 

The wings of an angel

the wings of a dove

In debt to forgiveness

—absolved from above

 

(Dreamsleep: June, 2023)

 

 

Forever As One

 

The Taiji of life

may it ever be so

Driving the artist

and poet who know

The Yin and the Yang

to marry sublime

Truth as their offspring

—whose beauty defines

 

(Dreamsleep: June, 2023)

 

 

The Trickster Of Seville

 

Trying too hard

to appear he’s not trying

Saying too much

without saying a thing

Shapeshifting lover

the fire his mistress

Locked in an image

—whose essence is damned

 

(The New Room: June, 2023)
