Accidents
It leaves you reeling when you crash, Twixt metal, glass, and plastic mash. Atop razor’s edge, turned as pawns, To contemplate the dance of myriad electrons, Spin or counter-spin, across this universe so vast. It all happens so fast, Life’s last breathe, measured as if by eyelash. Yet seconds...

Inspiration
The change you wish to see, Lies within your power, palpably. Shove Fate’s hand past the end, Of her reach, and so blend, The dreams of your life with hers, however faintly. Or do you presume to believe your way there? Can you idly pray and blandly stare, While the tumult rages round, The change you...

For My Wife

Forgotten Children
‘Round forgotten children the predators roam, While hungry and gaunt the little ones comb, The trash and gutters to find, Rinds and refuse, their faces lined By cares and fears unknown. Into the future they run, without hope, With a leaden past; it's a rope, That’s wrapped like a noose and a lie,...

Transparency
Transparency Through a glass darkly, I see, My lover ever dimly. When what I crave, Is a coupling less vague, When a veneer I perceive. So I entreat on bended knee, For the veil to slip, transparently, But our gaze is still opaque - Through a glass darkly. Tear off the guise that apprehends me, Rip...
