Morning calm
A world of desperation.
The face and the faceless.
Indescribable yet on the tip of my tongue.
Impecability holds the key to power.
I stare out over the city on my park bench throne.
The morning hours calm my mind.
Crows speak in their own tongue.
I reflect on a night of dreaming.
The number is 4.

Aurora
This poem was written after a day exploring Omaha Beach, one of the D-Day invasion beaches of Normandy.

A morass of interwoven
trunks, like a spider's web
gone wild and
overgrown.
So delicate, so
soon lost,
evaporated, nothing but
a memory in
the heart and soul.

although its early morning stain
still paints the heavens with a hue
of orange, red and purple. Few

I studied long, no doubts remain.
Though saying so risks Papal chain
for claiming this heresy true.
The sun will never rise again.
Look to the skies a...
