POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Art Imitates Life *A Abstract of Absortion *
the canvas does not sit idly waiting
for an artist to create a masterpiece
it is ever evolving to spur inspiration
and desires to absorb what is released
shape shifting thru imagination
until it creatively provokes
mocking the senses
til fingers form the perfect stroke
the canvas is exposed and eager
awaiting some design
highly intoxicated off the scent
of paints and turpentine
the canvas longs to create and be created
to bare the stroke of genious
to be completely absorbed in the craft
so lively... creating...

Mirrors and Fog
beneath the waves
of puddled tears
hides insecurities
in obscure mirrors
introverted fears
doubts she's had for years
"where does she go?"
when she disappears
unplug
to inspect
from the world
disconnect
vanishing in the hazy
fog of cognition
fine tuning vision
like an optician
she searches self
with a manifying glass
trying desperately not to relive
mistakes of the past
foraging fearful forests
tangled in a thicket of thought
running from what she's chasing
has only come to naught...

Pungent***
from the richest soils in this land
sprouting from the earth i stretched my hand
i didn't ask to be picked,i was chosen
see poetry needed something wholesome
unique and fresh,nutritious and healthy
organic and home grown and downright funky
i grew from just a tiny seed
to inspire thoughts and plant good deeds
i'm deep DISHED AND southern fried
with a lil something on the side
i pack flavor for all your fixings
pungent as the scents from grandmas kitchen
wild herb wisdom,with a funkdafied flow
follow your nose to where pungent truth grows...

Deadly verses
expelled curses
grim and grimey
as long black hearses
A good poet
has many sides
A variety of meaning
to be implied
i can be dark and dank
as death's bride
creeping in the crevices
fear reside
pitch black
inky soot
dirty as mud
on ur boots
I can be
anything
write about
every thing
even in the darkness
you will see the light
I rip bandages
from eyesight
words whirling
wicked wraiths
swirling in infinite
figure eights

the Synergy of the Unknown
meet me in the unknown
undiscovered and unseen
to frolic in forevers
and all the spaces in between
boldly going where no one has
unabashed, let us be brave
and reak lots of havoc
i wanna misbehave :)
start a quiet riot
stirring up dust
gorging on the obscure
until i literally bust
explore the terra incognita
of uncharted scenes
taking us anywhere,everywhere and nowhere
places,faces, no one has ever seen
caress my curiosity,at the source
feel the lifeforce, my dear love
as magnecticing and beguiling
as an unrelenting...

Everything Done to Me Already Done to You *revised*
consider please
the laws of action and reaction
that states for every action
there is an equal and opposite reaction
and the fact that we ALL got here
by uterine contractions
meaning no man is greater or lesser
but EQUAL even when opposite in action
see the existence of ego
is a hypocritical faction
when will mankind see the whole
instead of just the fraction
harmonic ligatures binding
us all are our action
the key to coexistence
is compassion
grace and mercy lights the path
to...

Vision
as i slip beneath the currents
recent emotions, waves so recurrent
no splashing,no gagging,no fighting fears
silently submit in pools of tears
ripples of turmoil,waters up to my neck
the ship is sinking,yes I'm a wreck
this angst that grips has a hold of me
plunging me in the mists of insanity
defenses fail me,don't know who to trust
bloody nails in the coffin,waters have rust
innocence lost because life corrupts
corrodes and disgusts,the waters engulf
swallows my soul,in the belly of the whale
yet i live to...

My Polar Vortex
harsh winds blow
when i flow
im so ice cold
i froze the mold
kicked santa's ass
out the north pole
im overtaking it
see i run this sh*t
the whole damn globe
under my control
my words blow
frostbiting earlobes
and im the cause
of your runny nose
i drop temps so low
polar bears needs coat
have you walking around
wearing 10 layers of clothes
you got on 3 pair of socks
and still can't feel your toes
i frost car windows
my breeze shake the trees
a whirlwind of metaphors
and similes
a winter...

Silent Utterings < of sweet inspiration>
rarely am i at a loss for words
they seem to come in droves and herds
usually they stampede my brain
running wild, carefree, and untamed
i've always been told i think too much
and that my imagination can't be touched
it takes a lot to make my brain shut up
but he...see he..he left me dumbstruck
made my thoughts halt and give undivided attention
in a cloud of dust the stampede held in suspension
3yes searching, ears twitching, as i strain to listen
he gives me pause...then utter comprehension
it lingered in a whisper heard off in...

Hype'R'tension -high ink pressure
never been much of a gambler
i like a sure thing
but lifes a crap shoot
never know what the next roll will bring
gotta roll with the punches
or you may get rolled on
trampled over,crushed
smashed,or stepped on
heavy weights pressing down
and pressure burst pipes
nerves shatter,temple throbs
who can afford the cost of strife
take a chill pill,pay the bill
and eat right to ensure good heath
but theres no assurance,without insurance
its still bad for your wealth
back and forth the pendulum sway
between frustrations and...

while my pen gently leaks***
i sat watching her play
so curious and carefree
its remarkably eerie
just how much she looks like me
innocently mirrors me
the kid in me
like sculpted fragment
of who i used to be
a reflected piece(peace)
truly the best part of me
encapsuled in tiny eyes
yet amazingly set free
i try to think back
to when i was her age
furtile because
its just a blank page
all i forgot to remember
the day joy passed away
sullied and beaten
decomposed and decayed
lost,forever erased
tho i search...

PURPn *dic*ular TRYangles
He whispered mirrors
reflecting hidden desires
delicately woven words
igniting forest fires
souls aflame
we are blazin trees
in an intimate rush
of ruffled leaves
steamy potpourri
loves sweet heat brew
subtle whimpers
reverberate vibrant hue
i inhale his thoughts
he fills my every follicle
intense incense
divine essence in every particle
as i exhale sweet bliss
uninhibited aftershocks
exponentially
thinking outside pandoras box
multifaceted moans
harp our gritty love story
soulful...
