In finality,
sorrow's fiery colors,
I cannot bear you've passed away,

Finality of Reality

How far and in what 
Room will you go into reality
Before finding its entire finality?

Everyday is a battleground, I fight for every breath,
struggling to keep the pain of life from outweighing the finality of death....

A gravestone is the last 
official document a person 
will attach his name to. 
And though it takes place 
after the fact, it still has all 
the weight and finality 
of a death certificate....

they constructed the sphere
their they'd settle
their scores
it encompassed the ring
men against men
the finality of difference
the relevance of it's making
created by the need of solution!...

Perfection and honor,
 concealed in the words

Shame and disloyalty,
 rejected unheard

Deep in a poem,
 truth’s finality hides

Inhumanity cursed,
 —its verses defy

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)...

Emotions Contain Mortality

My emotions contain much mortality,
And found to be in a fatalistic finality;
Now not near;
Did disappear;
Forever becoming formidable fatality.

Jim Horn

Still reading John Keats....

Sign Of The Times



Surely
Ignorance is bliss,
Going about
Not knowing
Of impending
Finality.
Times end.
Happy knowing
Each day
Together
Is special.
Messianic times.
Earnestly search your
Soul....

Face of the dead brother, casket visions
    Face your finality
    Face that yes it does happen to me,
    It is I; It is I who doesn't know the why's
    Face the tolling of the bell in my town,
          my life, my home...

Out of an earthly finality of death,
Life rises, embraces freed souls,
above the mournful masses,
Life soars higher than eagle's aeries.
Life encircles broken hearts,
rising, rising.
The sweet Lord, 
He gathers His flowers. ~...

Shedding a final tear
from the cellar of my pain
The walls close in the sorrow
imprisoning me again

Breathing a final sigh
into a memory you forget
My words trapped into silence
—alone with my regret

(The New Room: January, 2022)...

Gotta tell ya bout this fellow named Anthony
Was relaxing on his twentieth floor balcony
A scantily clad sweetie
Cross the way said, “want a freebie?”
Poor Anthony fell twenty floors to his finality

all we are, all we see,
all we think and feel
found inside our fragile spirits
whispers in the wind
all we are, all we feel,
all we think and see
inevitably we disappear
like sand into the sea

we try to live eternally
and struggle with finality...

Drowning in self degradation
Deliberate affliction is exacerbating 
Crystalline facade dulling senses 
Normalcy, forgetting our consensus


Score, decennary years within  
point, swirling under skin
Finality, deaths creeping in
Exodus, my last syringe...

The dead never get to say goodbye,
as they charge across the line
Finality left to those who live,
still victimized by time

The dead never get to say hello,
a bust that’s now recast
Their sacrifice a milepost
—beyond the futurepast

(Valley Forge: January, 2021)...

With words to seal my coffin shut,
I said my last goodbye

To journey down and re-reflect,
on what I said, and why

It’s quiet in my earthen grave,
no light to mark the time

My flesh to rot with bones exposed
—finality unrhymed

(Villanova University: January, 2020)...

Cold fingers of mist draw ground ghosts
over churchyard graves.

It's a pretty scene and the underlay
of shallow bones
adds a musky flavone of finality
that seeps
from the green mounds.

A Pitbull on a leash
tugs at a pale hand
eager to dig and chew,

as if he knew....

The night a killer with retinas that burn,
all verses running mad

Fists of silence coming out of the dark,
opening up to grab

Fingers choking the last vocal chord,
strangulation by command

The quiet finality of a voice now gone
—gripped in my own hands

(Dreamsleep: March, 2020)...

Illusion of death felt as reality
An arrow piercing our heart
Allows exhalation at the finality
A thought with which we restart

Is it regret or relief or fear or desire
Free flowing or looking back or ahead
Or are we bursting with bliss all afire
That it matters not if our body is dead...

Does each bubble contain an unseen world,
unfurled in a child's fantasy?
A brief time of childish alchemy
in which magic is uncurled, 
until finally it is whirled
away in adult finality!

NO    END


No
There is 
No last hour
Or approaching finality
Every tick of the clock merely 
Records another second lived to the full
And there are endless seconds  yet to come
Each  sunrise starts yet another day in which to give 
Her myself and all I have to offer, which is little, but everything....

Death lives here with us
It calls out to
those who 
come to visit
An unwanted consequence
of accidents

Death is not loud
It whispers softly
There is
no need to shout
Finality is deafening

Death does not take sides
It is neither
Good nor bad
Happy or sad

It is all around
watching
waiting 
for a single kiss...
