I am the here
I am the how
I am the wish
That makes the present,
The now.

I won’t be easy
I will not, take a bow
To a present, that’s future
And a consequence
Disavowed.

Charlotte, NC – August 2017

Measure the moments
To find –
Where they end
And take just a second,
To learn, how they blend.

The fixtures of now
Are a kind –
Of comprehend
When taking the moments
Of the now, in pretend.

Washington, DC – August 2017

Spreading through my head
By waking in my mind
Is a soul that seeks reflection
By breaking,
What it finds.

Chicago, IL – August 2017

Constructing my dreams
Through multiple themes
Delivers,
A new pathway
Of many means.

Bangkok, Thailand – July 2017

Closing out the chapter
While breaking through my tack
I change the path
Of future –
And resist,
The quick look back.

Kowloon, Hong Kong – July 2017

Flying in my mind
Wind beneath my hair
Illusions all around me
Plotting –
Their subtle dare.

Milton Point, NY – July, 2017

Moving through the smoke
My mind,
Just seeks to wind

Growing ever tighter
Are thoughts,
Left undefined.

East Rutherford, NJ – June 2017

Right where it starts
Back where it ends
The truth is behind me
Always trying,
To amend.

Cancun, MX – June, 2017

Waking for the evening
My soul creates a stir
Rumbling into motion
Greased by emotion
To reach the moment,
Of existential
Devotion.

Milton Point, NY – June 2017

I turn around
To see
What’s real

To feel
A present
Pressured, surreal

I hear the words
Of a now
Appeal

In a delivered
Cloaked
Attempted, conceal.

Grand Rapids, MI – May 2017
