Dreams Of ‘Papa’
Burning fat
off your soul
with each word
that he wrote
Every vision
a banquet
to swallow
or choke
In the ring
or arena
with blood
boiling high
A man greets
the dragon
with hello
— or goodbye
(Dreams Of Papa: May, 2025)
Sins Of Omission
Intending
to deceive
with words
unsaid
In your
silence
truth denied
What’s stays
on mute
voiced in
your head
Its
intention
— vilified
(Dreamsleep: May, 2025)
Smyllum Park
The great
deceivers
hope and affection
Leave you
a foundling
an orphan of joy
As twins
they’re conscripted
in fields of abandon
Where life takes
no solace
and heartache
— deploys
(Dreamsleep: May, 2025)
Into The Breach
Every war
is different
Every war’s
the same
Bullets fly
and soldiers die
With valor
— to rename
(Dreamsleep: May, 2025)
Crossing Over
A whispered dare
a final vow
the Rubicon behind
New Light ahead
through smoke and blood
the final victim — time
(Dreamsleep: May, 2025)
