The Dying Trance

A soul will rot
in boredom
The spirits
dying trance
Once disengaged
all feelings fade
without
— a sideward glance

(Dreamsleep: September, 2026)



What Eyes Miss

Children
cross those barriers
that adult’s
hide behind

Wading
into no man’s land
instinctively
alive

Children
cast fate to the wind
without
a second thought

Seeing
what our eyes will miss
in strictures
— we’ve been taught

(Dreamsleep: September, 2026)


Voices

Alive
no longer conscious
my words
survive the grave

When read aloud
to lift my shroud
in voices
— time belayed

(Dreamsleep: September, 2026)
