How I long for that,
Lack of responsibility,
Lust for life,
Fever for knowledge,
I wish to relive it,
For just a day,
Just one day.

The first responsibility of Poetry
  —is honesty

The second responsibility is to never
  forget responsibility number one

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)

Unwanted Responsibility

As leaves begin to drift around my house
to places they have not yet been, I won-
der what the neighbors think about the fall.
I don’t exactly plan to rake them up.

Trust

Trust is a commodity not easily won,
A reputation earned thru honor and deed.
A responsibility to be not taken lightly;
A genesis and birth, like the growth of the seed.

That child needs you
Just accept responsibility
Do not run away
And become a mystery
Be a mentor to that child
Just be there
Lift that child up
Always show that you care

Squarely in the limelight 
The gallery is at peace
With a tad bit tension
Longing for ease
And it falls upon my shoulders
The responsibility to please
