POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
New at this, raw and uncut. Mixes emotion in short phrases, hopefully leaving enough room for you to read between the lines
THE STREET
Pale light shines on the grey concrete
In the night the mind wanders
off with the wind
The distance offers no answers
Not the path to
a so desired insight
In the night the mind wanders
off with the wind
The distance offers no answers
Not the path to

CARPATHIAN TWILIGHT
Nervous breaths of foamy mouths
rushing through the forest trees
As the twilight tries to keep
the howling pack of wolves behind
The sound of violins ascents
propel the twirling of the dress
as salty pearls find their way
along curved panting breasts
The hunger rises with the flames
of fires that suggest salvation
In this night where full circle
clouds the judgement of the mind
Opening the window to uncertainty
Seduced by hungry sighs and glances
the flee is nothing but a pale attempt
to eagerly surrender to her...

FORGIVE ME
Sometimes
To forget
Is harder than
To love

HARVESTED TEARS
Grey wooden bench in the corner
Underneath the weeping tree
In silence overlooks the park
The old man sitting there
Seems part of the scenery
His breathing follows
The movement of the branches
Walking inside his own world
Reminiscing his past years
Where light and laughter
Were in his fortunate hands
But all he was left with now
Were harvested tears
Underneath the weeping tree
In silence overlooks the park
The old man sitting there
Seems part of the scenery
His breathing follows
The movement of the branches
Walking inside his own world
Reminiscing his past years
Where light and laughter
Were in his fortunate hands
But all he was left with now
Were harvested tears

GASPS FOR THOUGHT
(visual poem)
Drawn from the mirrored surface
To the dark blue depth below
Her silence's calling out
Simply too appealing
Eventually losing all reality
And drowned in gasps for thought
Drawn from the mirrored surface
To the dark blue depth below
Her silence's calling out
Simply too appealing
Eventually losing all reality
And drowned in gasps for thought

MIRROR
I dare you, look at me
Tell me what is seen
Thin reflection of what?
Scratch my surface,
Hell, scatter it: now
Bloody fingers, searching
Through numerous pieces
Discover what's behind
Tell me what is seen
Thin reflection of what?
Scratch my surface,
Hell, scatter it: now
Bloody fingers, searching
Through numerous pieces
Discover what's behind

FIVE COURSE MENU
one - entree of a set of full lips, glazed
a slow and tasty exploration of affirmation of the senses, the permission for continuance found in the playful but firm bite in the under lip
two - an ensemble of shoulder and neck
when experienced right on the carotid artery this mythical place simultaneously feeds both the mind and the heart, creating the preferred mist to appreciate all following courses
three - two hills of sensitive temptation, topped with a peak of ecstasy
gluttony will ruin the flavor, so - like all...

YOU LEAVE ME...
(visual poem)
The thought of you
a bitter sweet chance
The sight of you
a restless mind
The touch of you
A delicate dance
The love of you
endlessly blind
The thought of you
a bitter sweet chance
The sight of you
a restless mind
The touch of you
A delicate dance
The love of you
endlessly blind

SENSUALITY
A glimpse of vulnerable beauty
Displayed in subtile
But irresistible
Femininity
A natural form
Of passionate awareness
That only few possess
And leaves you helpless
In the weakness
Of the moment
Displayed in subtile
But irresistible
Femininity
A natural form
Of passionate awareness
That only few possess
And leaves you helpless
In the weakness

ENOUGH
(visual poem)
One last tear
Leaves her eyelash
Finds her way across her cheek
When it touches the ground
Scatters into numerous pieces
She finally detached herself
After all these years
One last tear
Leaves her eyelash
Finds her way across her cheek
When it touches the ground
Scatters into numerous pieces
She finally detached herself
After all these years

THE PUPPET DOCTOR
Look at you, standing there
Bare feet in your own water
Your arms try so hard to hide
The red welts all over your body
Release yourself from your past
Open up and allow yourself
to concede me in your heart
I'll kiss the sins from your eyes
Lick the pain out of your wounds
Come here and close your eyes
Let me kiss it all away
Bare feet in your own water
Your arms try so hard to hide
The red welts all over your body
Release yourself from your past
Open up and allow yourself
to concede me in your heart
I'll kiss the sins from your eyes
Lick the pain out of your wounds
Come here and close your eyes
Let me kiss it all away
