Moments - A Poem (From "Two of Cups: A NY Poet in Galway")

Each moment
suspended

eternity is
thought

in your eyes
I find being

Life is
never secure

walking the
precipice

we come alone
we go alone

and maybe
one day

we feel
less so

until that too
goes ....

Paper Clip - A Poem (From "Speaking to the Darkness")

You may debate
the significance

Poem: Paper Clip

once straight
now twisted --
again and again

and the time to pull
metal or plastic
into a pliable
yet rigid thread

to partner leaves
or sheets
for a time

and then,
      unbind,

no hole,

only a lingering
impression

once undone.

Love is.... - A Poem

Love is not
        a diamond
        a display
        a wedding

Love is not
        two becoming one
        a perfect fit
        sublime all the time

Love is
       a pure expression
       so utterly simplistic --

Love is kind.
