Seascape

I refuse to believe
in the lack of even
the gentlest zephyr
or swelling tide of sea;
surely you fool me with
a calm ship
on an acrylic —
See!

What Magic Means

If a magician charms a child, he is good
But if he insists in magic for an adult
Then he branded a fool and a liar
Wonder, hope, and belief —
That is the happiness we deny ourselves

Cynical

Once the lies were truth
A someday was a promise
Hope, a gilt veneer
