No Marker, No Grave


By: Gus Victoria

The myriad thoughts of the mind are freed
And in chaotic order dance anew,
A moment of weakness
Fulfills a lifetime of strength,
No temple to shame,
No doctrine to defile,
No blame to seek,
Guilt is a garment unworn,
To the fire consigned,
Justice is the new badge,
Dogma no more;
Words in the wind
From the granite slabs
Ground to dust,
Dry corpse by the vulture devoured,
No marker,
No grave,
Faith lives on,
Religion is forever dead.

Unalloyed Words


By: Gus Victoria

Unalloyed words,
Devoid of pretension,
No inhibition,
Freed without coercion
To wreak havoc
On the field
That the heart has plowed
In violation of Fate’s decree,
Selfish the harvest planned,
More the desires rampant
Giving wing to those words,
Another sip,
Another line,
Time makes distance,
A growing barrier
Space cannot breach,
“I..” began the mantra,
spoken in “love”
that “you” would hear.
