This Over That


Why do I

post here

let me count

the ways ...


Saying

quiet parts

out loud

other sounds betray


Why this forum

over that

which one

best defines


What I truly

want to say

mazing through

— the rhyme


(Dreamsleep: February, 2026)


Fruition The Magic


The key

to the puzzle

that last

final piece

Assumptions

misplaced

with the process

in play


The whole

always greater

than the sum

of its parts

Fruition

the magic

with completion’s

— foray


(Dreamsleep: February, 2026)



In Love With The Moment


Being brave

not about

being different

Or being

indifferent

— but being yourself


Being yourself

in love

with the moment

Burning the candle

whose flame

— in indwelt


(Dreamsleep: February, 2026)



Still She Whispers


How do you plan

to feed your Muse

with silence

or acclaim


Do you stay open

to what she brings

or muted

with disdain


Still she whispers

in your ear

in darkness

and in light


A lifeline thrown

from deep within

ignored

— to roam the night


(The New Room: February, 2026)



Piercing The Veil


The point of your spear

finds the darkest heart

To kill and impugn

— where depravity starts


(The New Room: March, 2026)



Fallow Dreams


Wanting so bad

to be good

In virtue

my faults understood

Each choice I now make

forgives a mistake

Displacing the worm

— from the wood


(Dreamsleep: February, 2026)




Your Choice


Do your doubts

destroy

your dreams


Do your dreams

destroy

your doubts


Your choice

on whom

to blame


Your choice

to scream

— or tout
