Short Larcenous Poems

Larcenous freedom,
mask so divine
Hiding in plain sight
—stealing from time

I stole from myself,
never paying me back,
rich in the spoils of war

Identity gone,
the body count total
—larcenous guilt to endure

Fear is a thief stealing into the future,
the past its lot to pawn

A larcenous demon that hides in the night,
from the gallant, intrepid—and strong

Is someone profiting on your wishes and dreams,
renaming your parade

Like a thief in the night they steal every wish,
their own life at best a charade

Is someone else cashing the check you just wrote,
to pay for their larcenous schemes

Has your good name been kidnapped, indentured, enslaved
—as you curdle in search of the cream

Stealing your thoughts
a crime of dispassion
the penalty fatal
my name stays unknown

A larcenous caper
whose felony looming
authorities chasing
though lost will they roam

Returning your musings
a word to each notion
attached and delivered
through eyes that retake

Enlightened resplendence
unfenced by Jehovah
no borrowers promise 
— this thief ever makes
