POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Confusion's Pathway: Revision
Bitter cold
are the shadows
that creep along...
Running
to the edge
of sanity
as Mystic-like
breezes dance
to potential's outcome...
while vile visages
permeate the essence
of man's mortal
appendages
til it chokes
all hope from
an empty shell...
belligerently
accusatory of
a frayed mentality
while those other
vessels of fortune
shine dimly-lit candles
to intensify
the arrival of new,
painstaking rhetoric...
rotting
in the basement
of thought...

Hope you're Happy Father, Today...
Hey 'Big Wheel'
on this special day
I look up in wonder
'bout how you feel
What's up 'Ham' Man
I can see you in embattled
with yourself in a checkmate
plan
Say, are you croonin' in Lena's
ear... Hornin' in on poor ole Sandford's endeared?
How you doin' ? Hopefully amongst lost beloved, above the clouds
I pray you're at total peace right now
Happy Father's Day to you I say
as I wander in my wonder ever-
-since you went away...
*Dedicated to my Dad*
n a Happy Father's Day to dads everywhere

Sweet Love, Invisible
Sweet love invisible...
I see her around
every corner I turn
that marvel of womanly mystique
I, for so long have yearned...
Where does she go when
those days, grey to night?
what might her heart seek
if I were anywhere in sight?
Oh lord, I gasp at the physical
power of her SOUL perfection
she possesses... I profess
I'm on the verge of 'sole reflection...'
Can one not...
wistfully wish from afar?
as I sit in plunder
I wonder how, who,
and where you are
Casting prayers up ...

When I gaze 'pon mind's flight...
There once was a time...
thinking back?
childhood comes to mind
They were brothers, three...
traveled the streets sorta carefree
Free, from burdens most kept repressed inside
spoke not of pain,
instead they hide- and seek
Mother often had too much
on her plate,
yet always tried...
Still, they managed...somehow survived
Living in a city that had no pity
most of their crew, "true friends?" just a few...
There once was a time...
n' we speak of it often
Thank the lord,...

Bullshit: Soon to hit the Man
It was pretty late when Conscious
finally woke up to the wailing of
his alarm clock. He knew he
needed it to rouse him, because
Reasons had always told him,
"You would sleep through world
war three if no one disturbed you"
and though he never wanted to agree,
looking at the time reading 16
minutes past noon...It was clear
she had a point. "Damn..." A
slow rising Conscious shaking
loose the cobwebs said to himself.
Across town, Reasons has now
asked friend number 7 if they've
heard anything from her...

The Fantastic Lore: The 'death' of Shoe
"It's genius! Pure genius!" The figure in the shadows
paced around, and around wildly chanting. While
looking on, bewildered yet collectively, roaring
applause (were his 'boys') in support of his ranting.
Shoe, then stopped, and flopped his tongue off to
the side. Then used it to depress his center
inside, allowing an already bloated ego to puff up
with undue pride. " Hey Boss" one of his shameless
lackeys blurted out, " what if the new guy ain't up to
snuff, and your plan... yet again goes awry?" Shoe
turned in...

But she wore a pretty face...
She ripped
the cord of life
long before it could
realize it's identity
as the face of innocence
futilely searched for love
peering into the eyes
where darkness
housed a hollow pit
of NOTHING...
spending the decades
selfishly occupying
precious air's supply
though, judgement day
has a fated appointment...
again innate hatred
rewards a furlough repaid
cynically, while riding in rivers of disgust
as denial runs deeper
and faster than sight's seer
shaded within...

Maya, Now Truly...Uncaged
..And so it goes,
another has gone
far, far away...
into the way beyond
Maya-Angel-You
a 'painter' of verse
I marvel when I think of you
Poet exemplar you are
now at rest amongst the stars
may God find, and hold you
in peaceful slumber's view
Now and evermore,
that UN- 'Caged Bird'
flying free, and proud
Peace eternally unto you
blessed are we all for your
poetic voice amongst the
planet's populous crowd...

'Born... in this Guise'
As the sun is
to rise
stars, a twinkle
in the eyes
moon is
on a dark night
a sheen
'pon a lake...
it's light
everything
being relative
relative, to every thing
n' being...
in particular,
to the keen ocular
thy peripheral,
beneficial
to seeing...
water 'shed'
from clouds' high
as the window's seal
tries to steal
it's cry...
the thunder roars
n' ejects
a boom
a sea-set
to swell
to new heights soon...

Say sexy, could I...? Would you?
Say sexy would you?
uhmm...hey, would it bother you
if I gave your sweet lips a light peck?
inhaled the fragrance from your neck
then stare myself lost in your eyes'
intellect, or drink your tongue
into mine to deeper inspect...?
Could I?
dip greedy fingers inside both holes
stroke 'em back n forth
into your soul...
are you ok with a big knock of
my thick stick
as I roam thru your garden a bit?
seepin' deep-well divin' I like to go
swirlin' my fat meat around n round
I flow...
into baby's waterbed of...

'My-The-Illogical Climate'
The statement in quotations at the beginning of this
was said to me by a coworker, I'm not sure who he was quoting
but he asked me to see if I could 'expand' on the thought
N if anyone knows me by now...well you know I HAD to
twist it up a bit! :) *
"What I've done in life
Echoes an eternity..."
It's 11: 57pm, yet awakened
my senses,
in tune with the consensus
that too many
lie in a senseless fog
n' since this is 2000+ years
man's progression has been logged
I wander within my 'cog-
-nay-cents' ...

Wordererous ILLs
With one dip in the ink
the mental will sink
and in a blink, he's back!
It's the verbicidal maniac
all cloaked in black,
defecating 'pon the verseless hacks
desperately in need
of what they surely lack
The Worderer won't scramble his ramble
and when compelled, he'll 'soul gamble'
traversing the realms of rhetoric
just to sample the hypothetic
a simple trick to trip the blind
out...onto what they can see
It maybe why they'll never find me
fazed co-maxing in a dazed phase
Shhhh...I erased the haze of hades
...
