Affable people
are likeable fools
Divorced from the moment
their banter unspools

Affable people
in search of a creed
Amusing examples
— of folly indeed

A Lingering Dream

Someday to write
the greatest poem
The most powerful words
forever to hear

Someday to write
the moment solemn
Where time will stop counting
— and prescience endears

(Dreamsleep: March, 2025)

Double Entendre

Often
words that
condemn
offer salvation

Their
juxtaposition
the blink
of an eye

What starts
to indict
turns into
redemption

The turn
of a phrase
their meaning
— belies

The Greatest Myth

Returning to my past
effects became causes
Finishes became starts
descended upon

The light there to spin
in spheres of infinity
Time the impostor
— beginning to end

(Dreamsleep: March, 2025)

Born To Forever

Reincarnation
eternity’s myth
You’re incarnated
only once
Though many transitions
are stamped with time’s pretense
As it was in the beginning
— it will be at the end

Self-Love

The most constant romance
the one with yourself
The most lasting friendship
the mirror defines
The most sacred promise
only yours to break
The most valued feelings
— your treasure inside

(The New Room: February, 2025)

May December

Star-crossed by the years
a cuckhold of fate ...
I made love to you
in the copulate verses
of another time
— and another life
