In confessionals of doubt
he chased absolution
The devil unmasked
—his penance forsworn
(Washington Chapel: November, 2021)
Still as a summer's morn
Still as the heart..love lorn
Still as the veiled dawn-
Still as a heart that mourns
Still as a portrait drawn
Stll as memories..time-worn-
Still as ambition...indrawn
Still as a promise...forsworn
Still as an idea...inborn.
With all the time I spend on rhyme
in vain pursuit of beauty
I neglect to help my fellow man
and fail my forsworn duty
So this vow I make right now
Do not think I take it lightly ~
to rig up my toilet to fertilize my lawn
and flush it day and nightly
Quiet Darkness
Quiet darkness envelop me
winged intruder, lights dissolution
soar beyond day’s raucous din
Leave me in somber solitude
seek solace in myself, soul intact
beyond lacerating tongues
Reviling others call “nevermore, nevermore”
unwashed congregation, nor unholy pact
pull me from a life forsworn.
Stephen (Stoic)

Still
as a
summer morn..
a youth
lovelorn..
the
veiled dawn..
a heart
that mourns..
a portrait
drawn..
of memories
time worn..
ambitions
withdrawn..
a promise
forsworn..
an idea
inborn
An angel and a devil
work me over every morn
Contending for ownership
to neither (am I) forsworn
I tell myself I won’t succumb
to the devil, that old bum
Then he takes down the angel
The fireworks have begun …
In the end, it’s MY will versus MY won’t
They’re mere illusions by my throne
High in the closet,on the topmost shelf,
A plain paper box lies smothered in dust .
Inside, bits and pieces of life,
Strips of silk, binding fragile memories.
Spirits engaged in an endless dance,
Destiny's cord unsevered by circumstance.
Scattered images of unrenounced tenderness,
Tainted only by the musty scent of promises unfulfilled.
Priceless momentos of another time and place,
Just a plain paper box tucked safely away in forsworn silence.

LOVE PHRASES
A veiled dawn,alone,without strife
an absent dream,a love that
could never be,an allegory in a
simple code.a promise forsworn,
an ebbing tide,abandoned to the past.
This serenade of love.Passion’s word,
a haunting theme of the inexpressible
this play within a play,that secretes
selfless love,a passage of light to my
soul,and all was fine,beauty was asleep
innocence dead.
