Wrestling in heaven,
two Archangels beset
An arm bar on hell,
to the devils regret
Scepters now grapple,
as eternity waits
One rule to pin down,
—a reckoning at stake
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2017)
The King turned to the men to his left
To his right
And he asked:
Are you my men?
And they answered:
Not until you take your golden scepter to our heads
Will we take our copper scepters to our loyalties,
And so they rode
The race of man
Following their leaders over the cliff
The Diamond scepter of reality.

Raging flashes
time on fire
seconds flaming
moments pyre
Burning scepters
light betrays
torches fury
embers pray
Blind inception
blistered tongues
motion melting
boiled young
Bars of silver
chains of gold
locks of platinum
ingots stole
30 pieces
forged in lies
minted falsehoods
struck alive
Nights of crimson
skies of red
life has moltened
—ashes dead
(Dreamsleep: May, 2022)
I don’t bow to money,
I don’t bow to fame
I kneel to that one thing,
that time cannot change
I don’t speak for ‘right,’
and won’t speak for ‘wrong’
My liege is the truth,
all court jesters gone
I don’t hope to be knighted,
my shield more concave
And rejecting all title,
the past still enslaved
My will lay unbroken,
my heart for a throne
A crown jeweled with memory,
—all scepters disowned
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)
Nimbus gather above, racing swiftly upon the wind
With face lifted to the darkening tendrils of her skies,
my breath crashes like thunder hammering a loud din
as her twin scepters of lightning flash before my eyes
I behold the majesty of the siren's long pent release
She touches the deepest roots of my stimulated soul
In guttural voice she commands the storm to cease
Captivated, I am enslaved by the tempest in control
