Panoply of life forgotten
By james a. galgano
 
Life cried eternal deaths within passing time deferred
There loved ones met their death within shadows so uncured
Like some un-described disease where one wonders for true
light
By chance one day soon in time beneath each and every night
Though moon shadows quiver left to wonder what might never
be
Lost within the foolish vernacular of some wanton like
disease
Though no cure is ever found words from empty pulpit spoken
as profound
Echo from humble walls within sacristy less than divine
reviewed
Where once upon one thought if found truth would be renewed
so to speak
Such is the glimpse of forgotten rhyme lost upon descending
peak
There sun will never find each lie where words offered seem
so weak
There destiny sought wavers like foolish clowns within life’s
three ring circus
Though there may be some thought profound in the end there
is no purpose

Foolish wants
By james a. galgano
 
Within every foolish second passing beyond time
The world crowds upon our every head undaunted
Ever so haunted within each cavernous wall designed
Like shadows upon descending wall life is pretended
Within every lie where foolish words distraught preach
To the humble masses in time we say we know but never meet
Like some forbidden words given as if they were sacrosanct
divine
There such diatribes are given as truth but never meet that
dotted line

Here awaiting reply forever
By james a. galgano
There is no hope within dreams demurred defiled
All worries cling to vines so often now un-reconciled
Lest we cling to irreparable lies no forever beseeched
As if upon empty pulpit in time words never so preached
There words fall like tears almost like rain love is leeched
Within every waterfall of lost woes one waits never reached
By some foolish query never heard but treated as if divine
Where such idle hopes lost still remain within forbidden lies
As if which endless worries clung to vine beyond hopeful eyes
Without endless doubt gathered like clouds clinging over head
One remains awaiting one sweat answer we never will dread

Where we wait to fall
By james a. galgano
Where is the hope clinging eternally from ascending vine
To gather ones thoughts and hopes which accumulate in time
What is the reward we seek for all our endless endeavors sought
Will we find the dreams we seek or in some nefarious web be caught
Who is the person we want in our moments of doubt soon to find
To guide us through the endless maze where our words shouted are never heard
Often when left in this predicament we feel we are victims of the absurd
Like we are but players within a play unwritten where conclusion is cast
Yet we never know the part we play yet practice each line as if it were our last
Why on earth every morning we wake with clouds passing before our eyes
Do we endlessly see the fog gathering around us in endless embrace eternally
How is such a thing possible what did we do to deserve this did we commit a crime
Or are we but dominoes placed upon some undefined course incongruently aligned

Thought of your love mine forever
By james a. galgano
 
Angel wings deliciously spread to fly
Within such alluring beauty now wonder why
Pouting lips long to be forever kissed
While hands explore beauteous terrain of bliss
Heavenly body an alter to worship within eternally
Mesmerizing eyes captivate in spell in perpetuity
Celestial beauty inspires every rhyme written
There surrender is easy for loving heart forever smitten

In search of nirvana
By james a. galgano
 
Where angels fear to tread upon windmills of time
While forever the winds of change cast spell upon minds
Without hope for escape one forever resigns with a purr
At the thought one day soon this might ever occur
There within the silhouettes of some forgotten place
One endlessly searches to discover such eternal grace
Surrendering all dreams to such heated flame we fly
Anticipating the blessed destination sought without knowing
why

Taking flight to parts unknown
By james a. galgano
Each forage for moonbeams dangling from stars above
Like lower lying fruit one often mistakes for love
Concealed within one passing glimpse one notes as divine
Submitting too easily to aspirations unfurled so sublime
Doubt clouds each vision what might occur if dreams come true
While one seems to be forever asleep along love’s avenue
Wishing to fall within some elusive embrace of passing time
There the heart remains forever, willing captive resigned
Longing for the warmth of some fateful touch upon heated brow
Where dreams grow wings and take flight to moonbeams allowed

Awaiting sunshine smile
By james a. galgano
 
Beyond where tears are unable to see tomorrow’s hope
Worry gathers like flock of birds heading south for winter
lost
Prayers fall like raindrops from crowded skies above
Fear clings to promises broken many times never forgotten
Within lonely walls vision of hopeful tomorrow are painted
daily
Filled with aspirations where once only doubt clung like
vine
The thought one day soon paradise will be found embracing
lonely heart
Never again to depart from dreams soon will come true divine
Here is this hopeful place one awaits such heaven’s smile
upon these tears
At long last once discovered landing soon within your heaven’s
gate

Foolishly to you
By james a. galgano
Within the sacrament of your loving embrace I foolish cling so old
Within your love I would surrender so easily if I be so bold
But I am such aged fool found you among my search for angel so divine
Sad I found you so late in life I can never make your love forever mine
If I could I would be yours now forever until day I die one day soon
Moment my eyes fell upon your delicious divine beauty I forever swoon
Yet I knew I was to old for you never had a chance for your precious love mine
If I did your love desire would be forever mine even I am so old one day I knew
If once upon a time dreams become eternal I need me forever inside of you
Then only then you ever love want desire this old fool I surr3ender my love to you

Here I cling to you
By james a. galgano
 
Here I am forever yours surrendered until day I die
Wanting you my forever though I am so old foolish inside
Like some aged fool I am captured within your love I need
mine
Yet I am here so adrift knowing I am so old caught in time
Where one day I found you need you want you but who am I but
old fool
What chance on earth do I have for your sweet love I now
forever pursue
Perhaps you will make me yours as I want this would be
divine though I am old
Yet if you ever give me one chance I hope all my efforts
will make me belong to you
I know I am so old yet once I found your delicious divine I
forever knew
That even I am old once upon time if you ignore that I would
belong your love true

Sorry I found you so late
By james a. galgano
How can I sleep when I see your loving eyes I need you forever mine
Who am I to think me this old and ugly you would be eternally mine sublime
Maybe I stepped across some forbidden boundary where I longed you to be
Was I so foolish to think on day your love and life would be mine for eternity
The moment I found you upon my endless search at long last I knew I desired you
Even in my old foolish reflection I your view that never deserved your love I ensued
Like some endless addiction I wanted your love forever mine now eternally
Yet how on earth could this ever be I see my old reflection looking back at me
There was a time your love would be mine I know but now I know it will never be
So I forever wander alone lost wishing time would move backwards in perpetuity

Fisher king lost
By james a. galgano
Whose immaculate wonder ever kissed my foolish face while asleep
Was I left alone to wonder searching for true life and love incomplete
Why do the questions within my mind gather like dust with each new day
Who cleans this debris and endless decay we never want to again see
How will it amount to more than nothing beneath shadow’s cross of Galilee
Is there all we seek within our pocketful of promises never kept as wished
Whose loaves do we gather here among the wanton though we never fished
When each fisherman throws their net into darkened sea they thought they knew
What reply was given to each struggling breath when in tow they forever pulled
Catch of day though nothing did reside but aimless hopes inside our thoughts undue

Where we wait to fall
By james a. galgano
Where is the hope clinging eternally from ascending vine
To gather ones thoughts and hopes which accumulate in time
What is the reward we seek for all our endless endeavors sought
Will we find the dreams we seek or in some nefarious web be caught
Who is the person we want in our moments of doubt soon to find
To guide us through the endless maze where our words shouted are never heard
Often when left in this predicament we feel we are victims of the absurd
Like we are but players within a play unwritten where conclusion is cast
Yet we never know the part we play yet practice each line as if it were our last
Why on earth every morning we wake with clouds passing before our eyes
Do we endlessly see the fog gathering around us in endless embrace eternally
How is such a thing possible what did we do to deserve this did we commit a crime
Or are we but dominoes placed upon some undefined course incongruently aligned

Politics entwined
By james a. galgano
It is all politics entwined where gravitas is trumped, by those think they are divine
Or close to it within their delusional schemes playing upon fears and others dreams
When in reality nothing as it seems through the looking glass of kaleidoscope minds
Where inebriate fact checkers have their own axe to grind along tattered seams
Such is the plight of party politics where neither side is what it claims or seems
Each on play to their constituents desires yet either imbibe on the teat of wealth
There is no true focus on the needs of the masses for better jobs, education or health
Thus the scum not the cream often rise to the top to profess the right to lead
Even when election results determine victor not much will change or does indeed
Certainly there are the nuances, which reflect a different strain of the same infection
Developing policy to the base hopes or fears which guide human spirits direction
In the name of some catching phrase or imagined legacy’s predilection t

Avenue where we wait still
By james a. galgano
Every avenue of lost souls filled with echoes forever wander lost
Each day and night left alone among the shadows dancing upon wall tossed
Like waves upon awaiting shoreline often for dreams which never come true
Within the realm of every passing memory often which haunts whole life through
Welcoming waywardly with caution each light through curtains blind
Seeking solace or perhaps some long sought answer to questions we never find
Caught within the net like catch of day longing to escape such precarious bind
Hoping often beyond all expectations one day such dreams soon come true
Yet often never do leaving us lost beneath unlit streetlight on each life’s avenue

WHAT MUST BE WILL BE
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
WHERE IS THE CHOICE WITHIN YOU AND ME
WHICH DRAWS US TO THIS WARNM EMBRACE
IF TRUE AT LONG LAS BECOME SOON REALITY
WHERE WE LOOK INTO EACH OTHERS EYES
AND SAVOR THE AFFECTION OF LONGING FACE
SOON WHEN WE MEET AND KNOW EACH OTHER’S LOVING EMBRACE
WITHIN YOUR WAYWARD WONDER OF LOVE DIVINE
I LONG TO LOVE YOU FOREVER AND MAKE YOU ETERNALLY MINE
WITHOUT THOUGHT OF POSSESSION I AM YOURS WITHOUT CONCESSION
DEEP INSIDE YOUR LOVING ARMS, I WILL SOON FOREVER BE
I MAKING LOVE TO YOU. YOU SURRENDERING YOUR SELF TO ME

ROMANTIC PREY
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
WHERE DO THESE OFTEN BLURRED IMAGES LINGER ENTRAPT
AS EACH FICKLED OF FINGER OF FATE INVASIVELY RELATES INEXACT
HOPING TO CONNECT TO SOME BOG WITHIN TO DISABLE AND PROSTRATE
A YOUTHFUL DESIRE BALLET OF SIDE STEPPED UNRAVELLING SPIRE
SHADOWING MEMORIES STILL DOMINO EFFECT IMPATIENTLY UNFULFILLED
WHERE ONE ONCE SO PRECARIOUSLY TIME STOOD REACHING OUTRIGHT
WHILE REFLECTING SO MISUNDERSTOOD OF THOSE MIGHT HAVE BEENS
LINGERING LONGINGLY WITHIN STILL SOME BLINDING REFLECTIION
SEEKING A HEART OUTSTRETCHED BEYOND HER USUAL MISDIRECTION
BLOSSOMING FORTH FROM THAT ENVIABLE ALLURING GLARE WHERE
EACH HYPNOTIC EFFECT EROTICALLY PENETRATED ORAFICES ASKEW
BEYOND INCURRED BLURRED VIEW’S INTRUSIVE DIVINING ROD ERECTED
AS IF IN A WELL CHOREOGRAPHED PAINSTAKINGLY GENUFLECTIVE
SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER FLARE WITH PEARLY WHITES BEAMING
CAUSING THE WINDOWS OF THIS SOUL ‘S UNCONTROLLABLE STEAMING
AND FROM THE FOG WITHIN IT BECOME SO EASY TO SEE EXACT
HOW ONE BECOMES CLUELESSLY VICTIMIZED BY TEMPTATI

ELUSIVE  WANDER
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
 
THE WORLD CRAWLED UPON BLEEDING KNEES TO WHERE
TOMORROW DWELLED UNDEFINED, THEREUPON BENDED GLANCE DREAMS OBLIQUELY
DEVOLVED INTO
UNENDING THOUGHTS OF WANDERING QUESTIONS,WHERE UNANSWERED REPLIES STUMBLED UPON
INACCURATE PROCLAMATIONS
IN SEARCH OF
UNREACHABLE FALLING STARS DRESSED IN FORMAL SUITCASES
CARRIED BY SERVILE
DISDAIN UNABLE TO ARGUE OR EXPLAIN ILL DEFINED DESTINATION, INVARIABLY WROUGHT
BY INDEFENSIBLE PROCRASTINATION
BY THE MERE THOUGHT
WHAT MIGHT BE WILL BECOME SO UNEXPECTEDLY
BUT AS IS WELL
KNOWN IT NEVER OCCURS IN THAT WAY, THUS THE WANDERING CONTINUES OFTEN AIMLESSLY
SO INTO AND OUT OF DISTANT AFTERGLOW, WHERE IMAGINATION IS TOO OFTEN FOUND
WANTING AND/OR INSECURE, FOR WHAT IS THE PROMISE IF SUCH DILEMMAS ARE LEFT
UNRESOLVED  SUCH TRAVELS HAD NO
DISCERNABLE EFFECT AS AGREED WHILE UPON COURSE 
CONTINUOUSLY ILL DEFINEDWHILE IN DELUSION IMAGINATION CONTINUES TO
AMILESSLY CLING SEEMINGLY FOREVER IN TIME TO ANYTHING

Our endless search and claim
By james a. galgano
Hope as so many fluttering wings upon which our dreams forever fly
Circling around each singing flame of light upon which we have come to rely
For a sign of salvation before we are consumed eternally by endless flames
Longing to find some sort of happiness where we will be able to stake our claim
Enabling our every effort to through every struggle finally secure a future evermore
Within humble hovel we suspect our lives to be just mere thread to life’s tapestry
Where upon closer look it would be so hard to find our place in passing time
Nevertheless we persevere no matter what obstruction is met along each incline
As we like Sisyphus push our burden up life’s ascending wall every day and night
Towards some hopeful destination one day soon found and enjoyed by singing light
Where our daily lives still endlessly flutter like moths around unwelcoming flame
Aspiring forever to one day soon discover or at long last find our home and claim

LIFE’S GRADUATION DAY
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
STUMBLING ACROSS THE DUSK FILLED STAGE OF FINITE TOMORROW
THE TINY FEET OF HUMAN KIND TREAD ONE SMALL LEAP AT A TIME
IN THE GRANDIOSE DREAM OF MISPRONOUNCED LIES THRICE DENIED
WITH CROOKED SMILES HANGING FROM FRAGILE PORTRAIT REALITY CLINGS
DRESSED IN SECOND HAND HOPES AND NEATLY IRONED SHALLOW DREAMS
AS THEY VAULT ACROSS NOW BARREN TUNDRA OF UNRECOGNIZABLE EARTH
WITHIN WHOSE WILTED FLOWER BED THEIR HOPES ONCE SPRUNG ETERNAL
BUT NOW AS THE ECHOES OF YESTERDAY CAST NIGHTMARE SHADOWS
UPON THE MISPLAYED HANDS COVERING TEAR FILLED EYES OF REGRET
A PENSIVE AUDIENCE OF QUESTIONABLE RELATIONS SIT IN SILENT GUFFAW
WHILE EACH MEMORY OF MISSPENT TRUTH IS SUMMARILY REMINISCED IN SONG
IN THESE EXAGERATED WAGGING WHITE LIES OF PENTECOSTAL TONGUES TIED
WHERE ELUSIVE MEMORY LINGERS IN REAR VIEW FUROR AS EACH IMIRROR IMAGE BETRAYS
A CLOSE PROXIMITY WITH REALITY OR ACCOMPLISHMENT NEVER BEFORE DISPLAYED
IN THE FLEETING THOUGHT SOMETHING MORE WOULD BE LEFT HERE BEHIND
WITHIN THE I
