POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I've been writing poetry for years. Some crap and some good but still trying to improve
Solitary Beast
"Whosoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god."--Francis Bacon
Silence radiates from within these walls
Bouncing off the atmosphere
Back and forth
Passing through me; energizing me
Strengthening my body and mind
Leaving behind the loudness that others bring
Too many people and places
I get lost in the sea of faces losing myself
Losing my mind and my heart unable to dance to their beat
Solitary is where my heart is entranced; solitary is its music
So from the ocean I must depart; completely voluntary alone...
Silence radiates from within these walls

Back and forth

I get lost in the sea of faces losing myself
Losing my mind and my heart unable to dance to their beat
Solitary is where my heart is entranced; solitary is its music
So from the ocean I must depart; completely voluntary alone...

Winter Healing
Fireplace and our hearts
A dancing place for the fire we’ve lit
Set to keep us warm; inside and out
After a day filled with snowball fights
Mountain hiking, snowman building
And stolen kisses
Opting for sweet red wine and
The sensual Death by Chocolate
With a touch of soft joyous Christmas songs
A breath of fresh mountain air
Relaxing, rejuvenating and healing
As we emerge ourselves in us
Making up for lost time
Affectionate caresses and whispered words
Pouring softly back and forth
Forgiveness given and accepted
We...

I'm Sorry
I’m sorry I hate you
You’re only good to drink with
A few rounds at the bar and we’re all good
But the moment we’re back home
I hate you
You’re a dick
A jerk
Treating your wife like shit
Mocking everyone and everything
Like you’re the only one who knows anything at all
You’re the only one to do anything right at all
We’re all lower than you
You’ve placed yourself on that pedestal
I’d love to shove you off
You’re a pigheaded Dick
I should apologize to the appendage as a whole
Dick’s are lot better than you
And I think I just...

Try and try I’ve done
Many words run through my head
How many ways can you say “I’m sorry”?
It’s easy, for me at least
When I’m wrong
When it needs to be spoken
But, oh so difficult to utter
When I’ve done nothing wrong
To say those two words
Just to keep peace
That won’t really be true peace
But fake
The apology should come from him
But instead, all but I,
Expect it from me
Although I shouldn’t,
It’s not what God wants
I take offense
From him I can understand
But those two?
I call her Mom

Let Me
Giving me a piece
Just a small bit of you
I begin to take a step
One foot out of my shell
Hesitant to touch the ground
Afraid it might shake and knock me down
You give me small hope
Then as soon as my other foot is out
Almost touching
You take it all away
Not with any words
But rather with none at all
So, quickly I move back inside
Inside my comfortable home
It's made of a hard shell
Difficult to crack
Slow to open
Giving a piece of yourself
It might be easy for you
Giving a piece of myself
Takes a lot out of me...

Goodbye Rose
Soft silky petals caress my fingertips
Touching them to my lips
Inhaling the sweet aroma
Becoming intoxicated
But the tears still begin
They slip outside my eyes
Slither down my cheeks
Drip….drop
Dropping to the white petals
My tears of blood
You inflicted
This rose, this goodbye rose
Now stained with my bloody tears
Touching them to my lips
Inhaling the sweet aroma
Becoming intoxicated
But the tears still begin
They slip outside my eyes
Slither down my cheeks
Drip….drop
Dropping to the white petals
My tears of blood
You inflicted
This rose, this goodbye rose
Now stained with my bloody tears

Forbidden Gold
Intoxicating is your golden skin
Reaching out; to touch; to caress
Your glow slithers through me
Inebriating
My head spins; I’m floating
As you slink around me
Touching; caressing all of me
Whispering words I cannot hear
You reach your lips to mine
Cold and chilling
You are nothing more than golden glass
Shattered now from the touch of my lips
And I’m drowning now
As you cut and slice me
We; me, whole and bleeding
You; shattered and broken
Fall to our death
Only to be reborn
Once again
To...

Monster, Cochella and Jack
A promise I did make
And a promise I have kept
What the hell was I thinking?
Mr. Jack Daniels you were no help at all
You were supposed to save me
From becoming a crazy cat lady
I went for one
And came back with two
But they were so damn cute
I couldn’t resist
Black Monster and Cochella
Welcome to your new home
And if you should not see me in the morning
It’s because Pooh-Bear has not forgiven me
And finally killed me in my sleep
And a promise I have kept
What the hell was I thinking?

And if you should not see me in the morning

Take Me Back
Take me back to a time when 'twas fine
Tire swings from a tree as wind signs my face
Free to be ourselves, worry-free and calm
Back to the tree houses; ‘secret’ and unseen
A trench in a tree for soldiers against the enemies
Water guns and grenades in hand
Makeshift slingshots; our back- up plan
Oh! To see again tubes in the creek
Children wading for crawdads
Hidden inside the crevice of the park
Where we snuck smokes
Quick runs to Kramer’s Market
Ice cold bottled soda; homemade jerky
To feed our taste buds
Take me back...

Why couldn’t you see her
The beauty that infants and children are
Did she cry too much?
Was she too loud?
Was she hungry and you too busy?
Getting high
Getting drunk
Did she just want to be held?
Rocked to sleep
Sang to
You fucking bastard
She was only a few months old
How could you do that to her
I hope you die in prison
For shaking that poor child
Throwing her to the ground
May you burn in the deepest pit of Hell
Life support is being turned off
I hope you die in her place
You are a piece of shit

Halloween
Three years old
Long black hair
Halloween
My Baby
My Baby taken
My Baby Dead
Handpicked flowers
From the woods
Her favorite
Lying ontop of that cedar casket
It's so tiny, so small
with her lifeless body
It's time now
With each crank
My heart breaks further
As she's lowered
six feet down
To become one with Mother Nature
My heart breaks
As they stare at me
And before I can protest
These men in uniform
Have me cuffed, with disdain
For killing one of their "family"

No
No, no, no
Don’t take me out of this dream
I was enjoying her company
The way she was speaking
Softy in my skin
Her breath brushing across
All my sensitive spots
Her voice so sweet
Honey to the ear
Now my eyes are open
She’s nowhere in sight
The other side of the bed is empty
And I’m left with this burning
My tender breasts aching
For her lips upon them
Wet with desire
Between my lower lips
Longing for a touch
Maybe not so gentle
My skin desperate
For her whispered words
But now
My eyes are...
