Worst Of All (+3)

You can’t

Or you won’t,

The result is the same

The difference

Decision,

And it’s yours once again

You can’t or you won’t

Grandest excuse

Of the small

When you won’t

Then you can’t,

And the won’t, worst of all

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2015)

Now Due

Blindly spending the

bulk

Of my temporal

capital

Hourly deficits

started to climb

And piled into

notes

I will never

repay

Stored in vaults

that I’ll never find

Words lay

uncashed

As I waste even

more

In my attempt to go

back and re-sign

All those debts

left untendered

Never forgiven

now due

That fate

has secured

—and defined

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2015)

Literary Wanderer

Unadulterated and pure

the thoughts left my mind

Untrained and unschooled

no restrictions to bind

The page below virgin

as I wear out my pen

A literary wanderer

—starting over again

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2015)

The Seasons Meld

If you live long enough

it all unravels

From the first thing

to the last

If you reach far enough

your spirit travels

Beyond the answers

and questions asked

If you wait long enough

the seasons meld

Snow and flowers together

sewn

If you love deep enough

an Angel guides you

Present, past, and future

—known
