REALITY

The Island Of Sleep

Sleep is an enchanted island;
within  Consciousness Ocean;
a mere obstruction of dryland;
to which;  drawn by emotion.

We’re unaware of its shoreline;
we suddenly find we are there;
a new reality claims it’s design;
somehow, we don’t even care.

Sometimes it’s

The Insignificance of Names

What’s in a name; what is it for;
is there a name so magnificant;
merely a word; hanging on a door;
a word, by itself, is insignificant.

Some talk of making a name for themselves;
as tho, a name brings them glory;
they might, just

The Impotence Of Titles

Her radiant beauty; impossible to be missed;
tho expressions concealed her disguise;
her lips reached out; longing to be
