Short Reframed Poems

I sold my memory
for a present reframed 
The past in revision
—the future in shame

True palettes of nature,
our souls are reframed by difficult things

The hues growing darker
—forever to color the struggle within

  isolating together
   ~ texting each other

since you left my wet embrace 
you have not been tamed
you left me needing a want I chased
now I feel ashamed...
I thought the use of me would clue you in and stay with me reframed...

Tonight, I became my youngest son,
my oldest son now gone
My youth reframed, new joy proclaimed,
a lost returning song

Tonight, I became that little boy, 
whose playpen sets me free
All toys reclaimed, no further blame
—to enter joyfully

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

The Self, Free Will, and Love…
  today’s three illusions of life

Without just one our lives negate,
  a charlatan’s delight

For the Self to Love most Freely,
  this Holy Trinity must preside

What Plato ordained and Kant reframed
  —modern thought tries most to hide 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)...

Beware, social media's worldly platform,
Blameless, guilty wannabes shower esteem,
Heady headlines bathing in common manure.

Knowing one’s neighbour.

Selfie, groupies searching for public reason,
Poetry kindled reframed and lovers bonding,
Gossip transferred digital nonsense bemused.

Silence youth golden.
