Home alone in space
Timeless energy abides
All things postulate 
Soft music under stoned stars
Relief from burned out being(s)...

Can you elaborate?
When I insinuate,
Or elucidate,
The postulate,
Of the populate ,
To the proclamate,
And indicate,
An approximate,
When to inaugurate,
The officiate,
To delegate,
Or orchestrate,
Us to celebrate...

Not always understanding…
  I write out the words

Lost in comprehension,
  till wonder returns

Each line a new postulate,
  no phrase left to chance

Last metaphor a song
 —my mind still to dance

I swallowed hard the feelings scorned,
to finish off my plate

But filled I was in sated form
a glutton postulate

I bit off more than I could chew,
with meat still on the bone

My stomach full of fiery barbs
—leftovers unatoned

(Villanova University: January, 2020)...

I have a secret place
where only I can go.
Not even she whom I 
give my inner self to. 

Where I sit, meditate,
to have a sober thought;
to mix, mull, postulate
to give or take as ought

and when I fade so too
will this affair grow dim.
I ask this bane of you
to think outside the rim

I postulate ocelots
as proselytes for chocolate:
they’d get word out on the dot;
they’re easy to spot.

And I’d tell a parable 
or something comparable,
with a nugget of caramel
to be retold a lot.

Earth brown exterior:
clearly superior;
heavenly interior,
delicious and gold.

Here comes Sir Lancelot,
riding his ocelot.
Yeah, sure, it costs a lot,
but aren’t you sold?...

Black or White

They hide behind masks
They deceive the cathedral masses
They have no names
They have no real face

They preach
They poetically sing
They postulate like peacocks in a ring
Yet silently they slither away

The preacher with the loud voice
The Politician like a trumpet
Promises they have on offer
They are the usual suspects

Loud in pronouncements
Silent in moral disguises...

fear fell away from discussion
the inferior postulate
that anothers poetry
hath not free speech
beneath the scope
of obligation
of love
of love the mind
is left, desolate sound
and smut ridden apocalypse
is your pretense to burn
burning earth in chase of heroic confine
subjection, and of war crimes study
you have been charted
from paranormal disdain
congradulatory suffering
is you house furnished?

These are the spaces I confide
These are the narrow crevices 
These are the places I reside
These are the secure refuges

Upstairs attics with small windows
The quiet corners where I go
The hidden chambers no one knows
Downstairs cellars through secret doors

There I have my room for dreaming
Room to create and postulate
Pose questions and probe for meaning
Riddles and rhymes to contemplate

In there the world does not dictate
And there I have less room for hate....
