A day of choices
Black rock rings
And no good advice

Imperious
She made the laws, and he could stay, or not.
It was her game, and he a pawn or rook —
It wasn’t quite a trap; he wasn’t caught —
But more strength than he had was what it took
To change his part within her plotted book —
And so he was obsequious and fawning
And did as he was told, while she sat
Yawning

That Door
If that door never opens
It’s locked for good one day;
And dreams, and jobs, and memories
Just up and go away
That door is watched here, daily.
They count the times it swings:
And if the number gets too low,
They’re on to other things
Then one day, we want choices,
But all of them seem poor –
For things were better, once, but we
Just never used that door —
If that door never opens
It’s locked for good one day;
And dreams, and jobs, and memories
Just up and go
Away
To share is human:
eat the cake
time to take, thirst to slake,
screw the carbs and eat the cake –
garble lyrics, belt the tune,
life’s a dream that ends

The Old Days Cannot Hold You
The old days cannot hold you anymore.
Walls once thought so forbidding disappear;
Within the old life’s empty, cracked veneer
Now freedom beckons through the waiting door
If you keep your eyes open, you will know:
This place has never meant security.
There’s more to you than simple pliancy;
Just take a breath
And make your choice
And go
To share is human:
The Sky Rages Red
I take each choice out one by one
And weigh them for their heft:
The sky, it rages red tonight
And I’ve
Few choices

Love Dichotomy
If it’s control you want,
Stay out of love;
Control’s the one thing
You will have none of
So quit your foolish games,
Define your soul —
You can have love
Or you can have
Control
To share is human:
What Power?
What power do you want, my friend?
To change the world, or just change you?
I think that I want both. Is that
To much to ask? It’s what I do.
What power will you have then, friend?
Great wisdom, wealth or health or what?
I think that I’ll have all of those.
I won’t have any of those cut.
What power can do that, dear friend?
Where will you go to get these things?
The power that is everywhere.
That to and through all Nature sings.
What power do you want, my friend?
The power to act, or just to be?
I want it all, I want it now.
I want it for eternity.
