*"Power"*

This is a poem from my recently published book,
“God Loves A Riddle: A Small Collection of Poems.”

All confusing and affirming.
These poems were written during the most base need survival years in
Boulder, Colorado; while facing 20 year old PTSD flashbacks of the murder of my infant son never before surfaced.
It seems I was piecing my fragmented life together almost as quickly as the puzzle pieces were being thrown at me! Frightenly abstract.

Erzurum calls
Are you someone’s prayer?
For fear eleatic falls
Crusade, come, completely dream
Breast do house esteem
Microbial adventure beware.

Mindful fortress
Eurythmic compass bide
Diplomatic dress
Prescription and inequity erupt
No coward belled abrupt
Instinct like moon over ocean tide.

King’s eyes play sun
Limitations sanctioned show
Liable child planet must run
Above realistic desire
Stampede metaphor taste acquire
Balance of power bestow below.
