I know it’s
written
I don’t know
why
The heavens
tremble
as poet’s  
cry

To stand
anointed
in love’s
review
And pose
one question
rephrased 
— anew

The philosophy
of language
its essence
rephrased 

The alpha
and beta
unknown
without names

All dialects
freeing
the sound
of the ink

Without words
and their meaning
could
— we ever think

(Villanova University: April, 2024)

Virtue when expressive,
deafens bad intention

Its voice to live beyond,
excuses and retort

A minstrel plays a song unsung,
as sages rise to dance

All words rephrased in lyric tones
—the devil mute and gone

(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2019)...

We
do flow
on our own,
as we do draw
from the universe
by pure resonation,
thoughts, albeit shaped by mind.
The thought is there but we are not!
Rephrased; we are there but ego not!

Attention pendulum, yet does swing,
holding us captive, in a trance
enmeshed amidst illusions.
Lost therein, we stumble:
refuge in silence,
where we reside,
love ensconced,
vibrant;
pure.

Albright left our earthly night 

To a place where women help each other 

Be she minister, president or mother 

Be she feeble or has might 

 
She misspoke it was not woke: 

Those who’ll help you not 

Woman to woman may you rot 

Deplorable folk 
 

In hell’s very special place 

She rephrased and made it positive:

Women who help women shine 

 
A star through any haze 

All bright as she did live 

And drink sweet angels’ wine...
