Hope Redeemed

 

Moving

from one side

of my pain

to the other

 

Relief

is denied

new anguish

uncovered

 

To live

in the present

and torture

my dreams

 

The end

now is welcomed

where hope

— may redeem

 

*****

 

Harmony Pure

 

The music

of verse

when left

unrehearsed

Cries out

from within

One voice

 to begin

 

It starts

with an echo

left buried

inside

That looks

for an exit

no longer

to hide

 

To reshape

the words

with a

harmony pure

Exalting

the heavens

in melody’s

— lure

 

*****

  

Death Reminds

 

Self-anointed

dreamer

Timothy Treadwell

crossed the line

That reason

draws before us

to ignore it

death reminds

That time

is in its favor

with every step

we take

To trespass

nature’s balance

is to tempt

— the jaws of fate

 

*****

 

Writing More

 

I write in the wild

away from the crowd

The flight of an eagle

intrepid and proud

 

I cover my footsteps

so others stay back

Alive in each moment

the future attacked

To open the cosmos

and close the back door

Venturing inward

— the pathway secured

 

*****

 

Om

 

Beyond this place

a dragon

Outside your reach

it spoils

Where Satan hides

his demons

And memory

recoils

 

There’s one remote

oasis

Within this world

of pain

That drowns

the serpent’s fire

Its mantra

— in refrain

 

*****

 

Rest In Peace

 

I guess I won

I outlived them all

My critics and pundits

 buried et all

 

Their ire and praises

sleep in the ground

Their target still breathing

— words to expound

 

*****

  

The Moment Reborn

 

Everybody

has to be somewhere

Everyone

lives self-proclaimed

Every endowment

a moment reborn

Every time

— every day
