Rising Inherent

Rising Inherent

Your fight’s
not with me
Your fight’s
with the truth
That stands
in defiance
To what you
may choose

It knows
of no allies
But enemies
plain
And rises
inherent
Itself
— to proclaim

**

New masks

Interface
with reality 
or then
to be real ...

Those crutches
and wheelchairs
designed
to conceal

Smart phones
and I-pads
new masks
of the day

Hiding our
essence
whose self
— is betrayed

**

This Promise Eternal

Rewriting  
a poem
beyond all
dispute

Creates a
new fusion
that none
will rebuke

To speak
to new feelings
in letters
and sound

Remarries
a union
 where solemn
we vow

This promise
eternal
with eyes
open wide

Resharing
our essence
Respoken 
— alive
