Buried in the ashes
of life’s cremation
Human effort smolders
but embers await
Tomorrow today
today gone forever
Forever rekindled
—the smokescreen of fate
(Dreamsleep: November, 2023)
Just One Look
She wasn’t a beauty
though pretty enough
Her gait charismatic
with looks to rebuff
He wanted to stop her
he waited and watched
For light in the tunnel
one chance not to botch
At last she took notice
his heart beating fast
Their eyes locked together
a fleeting repast
Time was suspended
new love in the air
As she boarded her plane
—leaving only a stare
(The New Room: November, 2023)
