Pascal's Wager
There’s nothing objective about spirit, in that lies its strength and its truth Unable to measure, only to feel, its critics profane and uncouth Science declares it the enemy, its formulas explaining away Why love has no bearing and within it we’re lost —God’s execution unstayed (Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2020)...

Wages of Sin
Heavy the weight of evil's darkened blight. In dread one breaks heart's vast moral compass. Sombre regret lays seige upon my brow. Bewitched my mind is rampant by false truths. For vanity lays waste to vanity. Mind's conflict changes like the river tide. Time's fleeting torment yet today unspent. Thoughts blossom, wilt, die, like a...

Alchemy
Gleaming wager’s chart spells filmy odds And tip triers to toss wee mites for more; To forfeit modicums of ground for vaster Acres wider than the fabled Midas shore. No curse greater than lost chances fair Baked and gilded to enchant and deke, Verily sure-win swoops altered mid air; Glittering talismans foiled in their peak! Each day under Fortune’s ogling...

So tell me pilgrim what you feel Do you believe your end is real, That on this plane your looming death Is simple as a lapse of breath? Perhaps Pascal might give you pause If you see worth in earthly laws. Consider how his logic flows And then reflect on what man knows! If God is real or God is...

Wager With Me
Would you care to flirt with something volitile? I know a fire that burns - hot and melting In vivid undulating ripples of heat That will steal the youth from your skin And dry the tears hidden in your eyes...
