Look Up

The many intersections of life
obscured in complexity
Go left or go right
to stay or move on

The interchange of salvation
whose overpass eludes us
An escape of transcendence
— most never find

(The New Room: June, 2024)

Angel Muse

Hidden from perdition
disguising me again
Final thorn of life’s florescence
trapped within her pen

Darker than the madness
eternity cajoles
The pathway to forbidden fruit
— her masquerade unfolds

(The New Room: June, 2024)

Through The Mist

Virtuoso
take me home
to a place
I’ve never been before

Virtuoso
play my song
in a voice
I’ve never heard in lore

Virtuoso
be my Muse
your flute heard calling
through the mist

Virtuoso
fortune’s child
when darkness casts
— my soul remiss

(1st Book of Prayers: June, 2024)

Tribute To Sly

Under the beat
between the notes
inside the groove
— FUNK

(Tower Theater: May, 1974)

Nuptial Time Warp

If we stayed young
and didn’t age
would marriage last
to turn the page

Would love endure
and pledges stay
with time becalmed
— and youth sustained

Third World Justice

America has lost control
of the Founders rule of law
The criminals are now in charge
as truth has been declawed

Locking up the standard bearers
with new self-serving lies
Banana groves are planted deep
— where freedom used to thrive

(Independence Hall: May, 2024)

Eyeing Tomorrow

No need to be good
when chasing the great
The moral imperative
deludes and conflates

With blinders on horses
we ride through the fray
Our eyes on tomorrow
— in search of today

(Dreamsleep: May, 2024)
