It happened
once
It happened
forever
But never ever
— again

(Dreamsleep: March, 2024)

If words were notes upon a score
would the melody play beyond …
Each phrase a chord, each line a hymn
each paragraph a song
If words could sing harmonic
  as their letters drift away
Would music take you past that place
— verse forces you to stay

(The Book Of Prayers: March, 2017)

I'm not willing to chance it,
casting judgements through my eyes.
I hold my observations
so as to keep my heart alive.
Sure,
I've been through hell and back,
as much as I could take.
Still I refuse to let hell take from me
the reason I escaped.

I won't condemn the blind,
nor the folly's of the meek.
Besides..
Casting judgement is an indication
that karma will repeat.
