POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Figuring It Out
Somewhere along the course of time
In the world God engineered
The image of the female figure
Came to be secretly revered
Rather than listen with his eyes
Man listened with his ears
To the rhetoric of biblical verses
Mistranslated throughout the years
A harmless admiration of natural art
Became the psychological art of distrust
Man convincing himself that looking
Opened him to the perils of lust
He guarded himself against what he saw
Since eyes were prone to deception
And fascination with surface beauty ...

What Is A Pome?
For those who incorrectly guessed
A pome is a brief quest
Lasting nowhere near as long as a tome
Unexpectedly ending shortly after it starts
And in the privacy of your own home
May involve K-Y Jelly
A lawn gnome
Perhaps auto parts
Sometimes it feels really good
Mostly it smarts
So, don't be a hero
Like when in Rome
I suggest you do as the Romans do
Except for Nero
Best known for accidentally burning everything down
While lighting his own farts

Spirits Of Vengeance
Anguished
Tormented souls cry out for revenge
Something wicked comes your way to avenge
Bring the pain to those who delight in misery
Ghost riders in the night
Trampling judge and jury
Feel Hell's fury
Operating under cover of darkness
Your evil deed makes us
Bash you unconscious
Blunt force trauma
Surgical extraction of your penance
Whatever your victims need
We do what it takes
No escaping your last sentence
Final is the chapter
We've penned to your drama
Here we come now
Devoid of conscience
With...

Satan Is The Bulge In My Wrestling Tights
I object
To the effect of letting myself
Getting hot under the collar
Tropical
As you try to resurrect yourselves
Within the arena of my forum topic
Yawl in this pitiful pilgrimage
Trying to remake yourself in God's image
Seeing it fit
To hoot 'n' holler your lyrical nonsense
Taking well deserved licks
Is the righteous atop their crucifixes
Can't make a decision
Sitting on the fence
Split
Torn between which cheek to turn
In a fit of weakness
Like moneychangers who never learn
These tables for two
I...

Picture Me In Pink
Visualize
That I am sitting naked next to you
Just picture me in blue
Picture me in blue
Against clear skies
With nothing of importance to do
Just picture me in blue
Picture me in blue
Close your eyes
And imagine yourself this scene
Just picture me in green
Picture me in green
Try it on for size
A Springtime meadow, serene
Just picture me in green
Picture me in green
Let yourself unwind
Relax, gather in this sight
Just picture me in white
Picture me in white
As if from...

Guilty Pleasures
Black nylons, for starters
Trimmed with frilly lace garters
Would make for a very nice touch
To some, lingerie is a luxury
For me, it is a vice
Yes, I am guilty of such
I'm not asking, but telling you
And I won't be saying it twice
In order to please
You need only tease
I've already said way too much

The Choice Is Yours
You have choice
You have a right
You have a voice
Ignore the signs
Disregard the tunnel visionaries
Who can only conjure rhetoric
Incapable of utilizing their own God given minds
You will be condemned by the holier than thou
You will be spit upon by the self righteous
And you will be made an example in a world overpopulated
Where unloved children are lost among us
And empty stomachs are ample
To embrace their Jesus is but a one way ticket
To the emaciation of intellect
And giving yourself to the glory of...

See How It Feels?
I don't know what to make of this
I don't know what to make of this
These hands, clumsy
Ferrous nickel adamantium alloy
Void of sensation
Lacking a single neural network receptor
Frustration grows with every hour
Unable to experience the fabric of a flower
Texture, pain, pleasure, joy
The only thing worth using them for
Is to crush and destroy
I take from you what you take for granted
I take from you what you deprived me of
You can have my hate, I give it to you freely
And in exchange
I will take away...

Wardance
You take, you take
And in your thirst, you drink even more
The well will inevitably run dry
Take, you take another bite
Leave behind an apple's bitter core
At this rate of consumption
There won't be enough
For you and I
No, there won't be enough
For you and I
The more you take and take
The less everyone will have
You force our hand
The time is now to take a stand
Drive you back to the shore
Run you off of our land
It was ours to begin with
Life was good until you arrived
For thousands of years...
