Ending In Regret

Most of us wait
  for what few of us get

Then start the excuses
  —that end in regret

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2014)


   Inside Your Heart

With your every smile,
  my life grows longer

Both on this earth
  —and inside your heart

(To My Grandson Hunter: January, 2014)


The Felony Of Language

The felony of language
   is within the larceny
   of being neither right
    —nor wrong

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2014)


      Unspoken Dawn

The morning returns
  new verses unheard
  rising eternal
   —in the unspoken dawn

(Bryn Mawr Pennsylvania: January, 2014)
