The coincidence of
opposites
attracts and repels

Polarity of motion
where  
all paradoxes dwell

Conjoined in their
distinction
negating the either/or

Essential
singularity
— both after and before


(Eastern College: September, 2024)

Dodging a bullet
the Pet Scan loomed large…
results both good and bad

"Nothing today
to panic about "
tomorrow left unclad

The moment secure
the future unsure…
prognosis under siege

The lights of the O.R.
calling his name
— with hope the last reprieve

(University Of Pennsylvania: September, 2020)

Deep in the forest
of a wanton tomorrow
two virgins sullied forth

One but a temptress
from loves inquisition
the other devil sourced

Together they exit
where fear is incepted
to course on different paths

One a diversion
distracting our vision
— the other Queen of Wrath

(Dreamsleep: August, 2024)

Deficit of
wonder
climbing
the walls

Deficit of
verbiage
the message
forestalled

Deficit of
promise
the future
on hold

Deficit of
time
eternity
— shoaled

(The New Room: August, 2024)

If there was no one
to believe
would there still
be truth

If there was no one
to tell
would it spoil
the fruit

If there was no one
to laugh
would the lights
come on

If there was no one
to love
would all feeling
— be gone

(Dreamsleep: August, 2024)

Language
a slave
to instruction

Music
a much
higher master

Together
they marry
and lyrics are born

To dream
beyond reason
— eternally free

(Dreamsleep: August, 2024)

It’s not what
you’re called
But what
you answer to

Your true
voice inside
As questions
renew

It’s not what
you say
But what
you mean

Spoken in
whispers
The truth
— never screams

(Dreamsleep: August, 2024)
