Short Invoice Poems

A pound of silver,
  will never buy
  an ounce of hope

Its invoice blank,
  in memory
  of tomorrows dream

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2016)...

In debt to the moment,
invoice inscribed…
tomorrow defaulting,
old debits a lie

The hour upon us
whose present awaits,
all payments in cash
—forever rebates

Passion knows fit,
Ride through the storms;
Expand fine wit,
Voice a new norm;
Invoice your words,
Expect fond pay;
Waves can be heard.
Trust in soul play;
Reach for a pitch,
Insist on this;
Use alters reach,
Meet a sure ease;
Prime a clear say,
Heed path of play.

Intuit a sense,
Now in sure heart;
Touch a free tense,
Urge frames pure start;
Instruct your day,
Thrill fashions glow;
Invoice your play,
Vouch for what shows;
Endow your fate.
Align with choice;
Grace finds the gate,
Explore your voice;
Note as soul calls,
Trail blaze footfalls.

Owing a debt
you can never repay
Beatitudes leveraged
salvation in play

Moments beholden
to all that’s to come
Providence calling
in voices unsung

Eternally liable
the invoice sublime
Whose terms reverential
the bursar Divine

The wings of an angel
the wings of a dove
In debt to forgiveness
—absolved from above

(Dreamsleep: June, 2023)...

One day in January
I borrowed a day
A day from late June
I have to repay

The temperature rising
the sun high above
Birds are returning
as thoughts turn to love

As June then approaches
the bill coming due
With summer winds blowing
and everything new

I reach down in sorrow
obliged as I am
To clear my account
—the snow to begin

(Wayne Pennsylvania: January, 2024)

Discern the play
That streams each day


Invoice the sale
That cannot fail


Live in the light
Of sanguine sight


Transact and be
Grand prize you see


Discount the prize
Of fond surprise


Wonder works well
Just where you dwell


Start from times deep
As laughter weeps


Each moment seeds
A bloom that feeds

Like some remnant of my mind's invoice,
I see you still, like Godliness' true choice
does see forever, as a whisper quiets a voice -
I see you - only love could so rejoice!

While, autumn and the greens, once full and fresh,
I stumbled, wondered - will I see my love in mesh
of colors changing as the air's obsess
would freeze each hanging leaf in its possess -

I see you and with fall or winter blest,
that only God's true promise proves His test!...
