Mother Goose
Jack, not so nimble Jack be nimble Jack be quick Jack, why did you jump Over that damned candlestick. Was it your act against Life’s absurdity As Sartre would say Or simply proof of your dexterity. We humans do such foolish things Driven by the fear of Death’s sting. But Jack, my friend, A foolish...

An Eggistential Matter--EDITED Humpty Dumpty sat on a w all … Now that was his first mistake An egg doesn’t tempt fate Sitting on the edge of infinity For he as all other eggs Tend to break when they fall. We humans do much the same It seems Not knowing where we're going. Lost in some existential...

THE MAN ON THE FLYING TRAPEZE The man on the flying trapeze Glides through the air With dexterity and ease Always ready to please The crowd below. But Sadly No one would know No one would guess A Beast within is killing him Yet the show must go on, No net says he To stop his fall It kills the thrill...

PROMETHEUS’ FIRE I feel the embers burning cold in me A rage ripping within. Not to be spoken. Driven to the edges of insanity As I contemplate The absurdity of my humanness. My energy lives Separate and alone From all else that defines me. And Like Prometheus I long to steal heaven’ s fire Find the...

THE WAY OF THE SWAN On this crispy cold Fall day I saw a swan make its way Gently across a mirrored lake Soft and quiet waves in its wake. I wondered at the fluidity of motion The ecstasy of grace. The dream of calm and tranquility No ghosts of memory to haunt its days. No affliction No sins to...

A reflection
A REFLECTION a loving dedication to my readers Bits and pieces of my singular Reality Fall on these blank spaces. My own pain and suffering Are only part of me. A necessary release of energy. Others suffer more I’ve seen these things many times Before. Bitter sweet this humanity. But we all live its...

REFLECTIONS
THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH There are no truths No absolutes. Only opinions, wishes and desires. Reality is a fractured glass reflecting Perceptions of a million eyes. There is no system I live by. I create my own way to survive To find my bliss Each and every day As my mind and body betray Me. We are a...

Poetry
LIKE A FLAME Like a flame fighting the winds Of Nature’s fury Flickering in its coming mortality And so longing to survive My soul falters in its passion To stay alive Within A body frail and languishing. The only life it has known Afraid to face Eternity alone. I feel my flesh. My body fires with...

Pezzi di Ricambio [ Spare Parts] I am a magnificent complexity Outstanding in my imperfection A unique and ordinary perfection Of human nature. Alpha and Omega. The best at its worst The worst at its best. A human Creature. But you see My existence is a mystery to me. A replacement for number three...
