POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
mercy is, as mercy does, wandering the wild, the stars are eyes watching you, a breath upon a cloud, two white doves, two white wings, to carry you away to a land in memory, a land in memory *Patti Smith/L.Kaye
"Molten Rain"
sizzling lyrics from the whistling queen Rain,
cometh the Southern thunder-storm of her
down-pour in torrents with a roar
that calls of the sirens to her fame
deluge of the ungluing of her fans with her
simmering ' Wet Words',
behoove the deliciously deserved,
derived from the blue bayou of her sultry voice so stirred..
our souls rendezvous so sensuously..
bleeding rejoice with hers
floating mist, conjuring shift,
soothing shadows in a moistening kiss heard
delving in her spells, she slides mojo in her bravado with Sappho's curves...

down-pour in torrents with a roar

derived from the blue bayou of her sultry voice so stirred..
our souls rendezvous so sensuously..
bleeding rejoice with hers
floating mist, conjuring shift,
soothing shadows in a moistening kiss heard
delving in her spells, she slides mojo in her bravado with Sappho's curves...

" Luhansk"
the Grads scream and thump in the distance .. dark smoke plumes rise
automatic rifle chatter cracks, mechanical dread; tanks and BMP's roar through
crumbled concrete, burned cracks and warped iron, photographs and glass
fallen chairs and strewn papers, missing walls, windows gone.. blown roofs show the sky
dinner table set, rotting meat and crystal filled wine
feel the rain hitting the floor, smudged letters of another time
vacant vacuum but the pall, melted toys smile grotesquely
ghost of far, a feeling of previous lives, pain absorbed
closer...

"Haunting Stars"
blanket in a field, sharing wine, sitting under a tree, summer shower reveals
listening with her eyes, she talks back with a cry, wrapped in cues, aphrodisiac calls sublime
brooding, lingering lips swell lush wet
impressions indelibly left
with a touch from spindling finger-tips, she brushes his skin with her breath
glimpses of her moist tongue.. hungers him for hers'.. that won't subside
gushing sigh, gesture flirt with her muse, preview of her quest without denial
seductress entices with kneaded rivalry
promises in her silent serenade sings her sight to...

" A Pall Hangs"
entered in Atakti's comp Dark Beginnings
crushed hearts instilled
embracing surrender
it's whatever he wills
falling faces remembered
portal to the other world
lovers cry in nightmarish waves
shadows of souls hurled
of too late a denial to pray
in not knowing him, death's hold
grips to torment ferociously
hope and light, unlit bores blunt cold
beware, your fear is his voracious need
ominous dread, anguished silence felt
ambience of the sorrowful dead feed compelled
buried,...

"Captured Unaware"
entered in RainC's Interpretive Art comp
she's anxious, but so luscious.. I'm sure a thankless subject
desperate performer; as she seems to be portraying now
depravity wets her appetite and cavity with desire
separated to warn her, hunger between.. do I hear her growl?
captivity with her submissive passivity lights the fire
penetrated to warm her.. it's what I require
cognitive dissonance, identify so I may sympathize
let's compromise and improvise with your disguise
shall I permit the guys to take...

" A Pirate's Fate"
the sun sets.. casting long shadows against the deck from webbing and rigging above
moonraker fills and puffs.. clapping sky
nervous and without order, sea-birds fly and shriek in disarray
waves before shine polished burls of orange glass
shimmering to hypnotize our departed twilighted day
caught in time, we're not blind to the coming wrath
porpoise no longer race beside, vanishing from her starboard.. suddenly from fast to gone
sail starts to slap the jackstay against the yard.. the bow's cadence becomes...

"Nature's Colored Collision"
entered in " the beautiful things' comp
surrounded isle in silhouetted palm trees
twilight wraps rock in throbbing contrast
stark unease in tropics southerly breeze
Caribbean gels transform deepened swells
ebbing slow pulse pours upon darkened sands ashore
loud against flamingo feathered flesh
biting mirrored moon in cool shaded curls
slewing swoons shadow stealth .. caressing wet
infectious din it's own symphony that swirls
colors collide and camouflage in nature's nest
jungle vibrates life, exotic birds, tree-climbers ...

"Silver's Lust Of His Lover Red In Black"
entered in ML's 'if colors could speak" comp
I'm not my brother.. with so many shades in between
he's faded; unlike him, I..
whom reflect wet gray, shining a gleam that strays mean
as sharpened shards of a mirror
are viewed carving and skewed
a shattered puzzle to shred and nuzzle the spattered dead
should I be shearing scissors? .. honed so sharp
or a spear against the pallid skin and bone?
stab and sob .. silver glint .. I sever skin
stab and sob .. sliding...

"Pussy and the Cock"
entered in ML's (pussy and cock) comp.
I run this hen-house; I've a harem of hens
no Minnie-mouse, or balls of yarn to play
I'm use to two in the bush, devour another lover sour-puss
three blind.. and tree climbs consume your day
claws and paws, puss-in-boots, pussy enthralls proof
gnaw, bruise and pause, but do not wring my chickens necks
do not break, nor forsake my precious pecks
your feline fangs.. cluck.. cluck.. I'll fly your fur
purr-fect partridge please your putang
call me rooster-ride and pecking pride
I'll be your...

"Love You Curse"
raptured love, you are sure my heart is owned
to break this spell.. my soul in time away..
captured thus.. two stars lure, cry dark alone
so take this well and cry old crime you play
you make this hell, so die apart unknown
unspoken more, broken promises pour
forsaken wish I tell.. try sins sublime
subtlety.. confess my love, fear you may..
say unto me.. a curse.. forever mine..
"I love you!".. then fade away again.. pray
denied with time, no other I shall find
my spirit within overcomes regret.. when
you've never left.. pretend.. pain...

"Supernova"
entered in 'alliteration' comp
gravity pulls photonic light fleeing fierce flight
backwards flash.. for no escaping, fracturing funnel form
within a vortex.. time warps ripping, slanting rifts.. igniting
forces full in portals, imploding furnace fusillade storm
shifting shocks reverberating, ripping fissures sharp, crack fantastic
frozen time chain suns burn instantaneously, forever blasting burst
catalytic clashes, releasing ferocious fusion explosions.. flash frantic first
lighting galactic...
