She Never Did

I have no explanations,

no theories.

-Fate is a mystery

of death and misery.


Beauty defined it,

a state of mind,

sorrow's kind.


Grief idles in absolutes,

but nothing is certain

except for denial, it's impact -a burden.


Fate handed Beauty the hindrance

of addiction and denial.

Then tossed her into the earth

to wither, then rebirth.

John's Symbolic Vision

 When we rise again,

the poets will be

the first to face East.


Our rising Sun 

will rescue us once more.


Creation will flourish

with our vision,

we will have insight

into nature.


The ebbs and flows

of our imaginations

will be free

to paint the earth.


It will become

our canvas

to adorn

as He once did.

I've Witnessed It

 Take a wild trip into the unknown,

a peak inside a dreamer's heart.


I'm grateful to have my tongue

to speak of fate and creation.


Creation beyond an earthly thought

conjured up by simple men.


Architects, engineers, and physicists

toil to complete a vision of aimless dreams.


There's something magical

about these men

who bring their dreams to life.


The imagination, the innovation,

of dreams come to life

is sensational to see.

I Found My Paper Doll

 Love notes to myself.


An abstract admirer

creates a secret confidence.


Notes none would speak,

words of love, enchantment.


Everything I wished for,

in paper form.


If he, a paper doll, were authentic

-rather than an extension of myself-

I'd be overflowing with encouragement.
