    O’ Be Careful, Me,…

    O’ Be Careful, Me—for the Life I seekThose things I chase; they are not free.I must accept, I may seem weak,& yet endure, times dreary—bleak,For the courage, and the will to be! For all I’ve known;What I’ll pursue,of riches, of knowledge, of worldly fame,I’ll deeply rue,In pains, and sighs, and aches, and shame,& of all…

    The Stoic

    The Midwife

    There has been a God unknown, a Man disowned,A saint withdrawn, A sinner stoned,A newly-born, Life does untuck,through the weights of inexpression;Timeless shackles of recession,and deeming doom in every luck,The midwife’s sin remains misatoned;One Life…unendingly postponed…

    Dismay is Godsend…

    Going by, day by day;each, inescapably, does end.I meet that bittersweet dismay,& shake despondency — my friend,For I’m a man of dust & clay.Of shattered dreams & hopes misspent.Of hoping, dreaming, must I pay,or of my limits stay contend,But choose I pave my frontiers way,& choose I break yet to transcend.For much as ache they…
