CHOOSING, a poem


          Life’s eternal puzzle
           Lies before every youth
In the future’s thicket
            What to do, where to go

            The burden of decision
            Rests on the individual
            Limited by circumstance
            Of class and education

            Will your time be well spent
            on a worthwhile pursuit
            of achievement in art,
            politics, or service

MESMERIZED, a poem

 

         She looked across the room

          snaring me in a silky

web of lasting desire,

a mesmerizing bond

catching me forever

 

Our cocoon of love

pressed us together

in a world of pleasure

where her sweet smile

mirrored our happiness

 

Our charmed journey

continues despite death,

a spiritual connection

forged by her last words:

“I love you”
