Futurity

There’s no problem
with death
when it’s
tomorrow
One day from
today
as the calendar
turns
Time
stays an orphan
all moments
adopted
The end
yet beginning
its promise
— adjourned

A Distant Flute

Music
when explained
the notes retract

Visceral
ideation
falling flat

Resonance
systemic
joy intoned

Romancing
the silence
— calling you home

Born In The Moment

Leaving tomorrow
starting again
Moments resplendent
free of the din

Touching a sunrise
kissing the rain
Hugging a moonbeam
— joy preordained

"Tennis With A Net"

The thing
about rhyme
is you can’t help
but read it

The glue
in the verbiage
whose tonic
is needed

Uniting
each line
with the magic
of sound

Melding the
moment
as phrases
— surround

The Last Encore

Staring into
a crystal gaze
The throng is burning
purple haze

Music blaring
notes on fire
Crescendo glaring
demon ire

Staring into
a crystal gaze
The faces foreign
voices bade

In unison
their screams demand
Encored tribute
— to save the band

Priced Out

How will you ever
afford yourself
the cost
beyond your means
How will you pay
the price of longing
financing
your dreams
How will you leverage
the cost of hope
interest rates
on fire
How will you love
your heart
in debt
— bankrupting desire

Over The Rainbow

Beauty and truth
forever embark
Born of the moment
together apart
To mountains unclimbed
and oceans unsailed
Beyond the horizon
— where prescience unveils
