Creating
nothing
it doesn’t
seek
to destroy

Apathetic
ill tempered
and by
seasons
— employed

(Dreamsleep: January, 2024)

Embrace your entitlement
to thrive
Hell freezing over
the moment alive

Protect what’s inside
of your heart
Transcendence embodied
— Divine from the start

(Dreamsleep: January, 2024)

Idealism
versus
reality

In hope
that Quixote
prevails

Disappointed
again
reading the trends

Materiality
draining
the grail

Peer pressure
determines
what happens

Not some
high minded
value or tome

Greediness trumps
what our virtue
holds dear

Self interest
hitting
— closer to home

(Villanova University: January, 2024)

You can’t
embrace reality
forever

Its tenets
restrict and
constrain

By definition
it renames
itself

Once spoken
to then be
disclaimed

What comes
upon you
the moment laced

Where vacuums
exit
in time and space

Regenerates
from life’s
cocoon

In endless
cycles
— moon to moon

(Dreamsleep: January, 2024)

Without
your heart
open
emotion unspun

Without
the right feeling
the words
lie unsung

Without
the right words
the
verse to abate

The reader
in Limbo
awaiting
—his fate

(Dreamsleep: January, 2024)

Intelligence
a number …
never a word

The writer
a halfwit
till viscerally heard

Tomato
tomatto
the pudding unproved

Empirical
nonsense
— the spirit unmoved

(Dreamsleep: January, 2024)

Naivete
in life
brings terror
to dreams

The psyche
wide open
a victim
to scheme

The innocent
notion
belief
to defile

Asleep
in the
nursery
—where monsters run wild

(Dreamsleep: January, 2024)
