POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
My outlook reflects my writing; make haste but don't hurry. I don't think of myself as a poet. That claim does little for me. I like to think I am working on obtaining that title.

First Impression and No Attempt
That funny thing called instant attraction
rears it's head once again
despite how much I deny it
act ignorant and pretend
I know so little about her
don't even know in what city she resides
her status is clearly "Taken"
so her arms aren't open wide
Legs that must go straight to heaven
a pen that has seen sensual writes
compositions that make the reader go deep
easy to tell she is bright
From the comments her special someone is a fellow writer
terms of endearment in public display
if I tried to upset...

Still For Karac
A silhouette reflects an image so sublime
The lines connected can brace a trend
Enliven spirits take lives to higher plane
The hands of fate they never end
"For many hours and days that pass ever soon,
The tides have caused the flame to dim.
At last the arm is straight, the hand to the loom;
Is this to end or it just begin?"
Can I stay straight when life's road twists and turns?
Due north not a option played
Any wisdom possessed can it be utilized
When not a compass has been saved?
"Should I fall out of love,...

Children Say; Will They Be Heard?
"Children say, children say
'We open our minds as one'
But one more day slips away
Why don't the dreams of the young never come to be?"
The face of routines and traditional social graces
Appear to stifle the generations to come
Take some time for them to soak in the world
And realize the words of the adults were not dumb
"I keep to myself what I might share with others
But they don't seem to understand
I open my mouth to rediscover
That I don't have the words at my command"
Trials and tribulations that were to...

Missing The Message
I sometimes check out Facebook the Beatles group and such
came across an entry which really was too much
berating a society which lets Lennon's killer live
"the scum shouldn't be breathing his life he should give"
ridiculed the state of New York for at the time having no death penalty
"sleazy lawyers and bleeding" hearts for this guy it was plain to see
I had the nerve to write I was uncomfortable with the tone
with me he decided that he wanted to pick a bone
added to the exchange was another both trying to make me see
that I was...

Ain't No Heinz Ketchup Here
She must believe that great American myth
all things revolve around capitalism and competitiveness
loves to entertain in public
on the dance floor her body takes command
you can see in her eyes and in theirs
like a pack of wolves ready to feast
gives no suggestion as to her choice
she makes me wait
Thinking the battle is over
I get her alone
but the adventure is just beginning
checks the computer and the cell phone too
comes up with myriad of things to be done
full realization that seeing her prance to and fro
has created an...

The Wrath Of Missiles
A missile obliterates a plane almost three hundred
will never see home in airspace over a combat zone
still wondering why it was flying over such a conflict laden spot
doesn't ease the pang since the passengers
were probably all civilians
who have are as connected to the region
as Justin Beiber is to good music
the world cringes
The same day Gaza is bombarded by a multitude of missiles
most bracket the night sky
I have no idea how many babies and mothers will cry
response to earlier destruction emanating from opposition ...

Got To Get A Message Through
I want the goddess to know
the unique essence she contains
because sometimes when thinking about her
the drain is the location of my brain
Like her to know that in the day
though many lovely ladies my pass my way
I would much prefer her touch
tender moments when we two can play
Wish she knew late at night
when intense needs hit like a brick wall
into her arms would be my first priority
her name that I always call
I want her to know that when the sun makes it way
passing in that morning sky
that in my bed I long for...
