FORGIVING UNFAITHFULNESS
IN
the ebb and flow
of life there are
bright days, dark days
and nights that seem eternal.
IN
the trials, challenges, and days
when the check comes
in the mail; we are continually
reminded that we are human
operating with freedom of choices,
and some choices aren't good.
I
know I overreacted when I discovered
your unfaithfulness--it's that human
side again. But there was, and is,
stronger than hurt in my heart and soul
and that is forgiveness; not because
you asked me,
BUT
because I deeply,...

Deeper Than The Pelion
Deeper than the Pelion Sea
and still waters of twilight
sweeter than ambrosia
vanishing sins
aches and pains
exonerating the flame
of dark's misguided fools
while listening to the innocent
deeper than the Pelion Sea
and still waters of twilight
sweeter than ambrosia
vanishing sins
aches and pains
exonerating the flame
of dark's misguided fools
while listening to the innocent
deeper than the Pelion Sea

Father
Father
Father where am I now that you are dust
Are my bones the sunken treasure of your legacy?
Your ghost follows my shadow
like a leper lost in an apothecary of the soul
Who wore a uniform
like a centurion flying on eagle’s wings
On a Hellenic march
to an acropolis of the mind
Where you languished with Mom
in Drachma beatitude
For an unbearable silence
broken by cat murmur
When mercy was a flower
in the shade of a Doric column
Teetering on the brink of tragedy
But moments stolen like the...

The Sweetest Words
The Sweetest Words
The sweetest
Words
Are those
Unsaid
Which
Magnify
The
Day.
Perhaps
You'll never
Hear
Them,
Perhaps
An-
Other
Day.
Though
Those
Un-
Spoken
Words may
Ne-
Ver
Reach
The
Ears
Of those
Who hear,
For those
Who listen
Very
Close,
Those
Words
Are always
Clear.
