POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Dangerous Minds
i often wonder
about apathy
and the carnage
it reeks on humanity
stuck in the ruts
of lost hopes and failed dreams
the dangers that plagues silences
after screams
the voids of uncertainty
what
remains
after
empty?
after the fumes and stains
only settled dust remains
yes dust returned
from whence it came
is life without meaning
only useless verbs
no emotions
just empty words
are you just a smoke screen
gagging
choking?
spirit
broken?
its a tragic shame

the 5th element** an eclectic abstract of erotic climax
As I sit here listening... pondering
I hear the RAIN but im really wondering
About the sounds it makes when it escapes the clouds
Does it gently leaks or burst right out
does it moan and tingle in relief
when all thats been pinned up is unleashed
Do the clouds sigh with tender ease
Feel a surge of untold release
Does it feel like it never has before
And is that why when it rains it pours
Whats there in that space between the raindrops
Moving it along so it never stops
Does the rain catch a breeze
Blow and flow however it please...

Prayers in Purgatory
muted prayers flying
like rampant raven wings
lips flapping,faith
that frayed and fluttering
tethered by bruised hearts
bound with string
buried high in the sky
deep below everything
shot down in its prime
bloody cries ricochet
drenched in dread
heavy,as hope pass away
diseased and soiled in stench
acidic rot and decay
the corroded ceiling crumble
as paint chipped walls sway
disillusion flashes
in a haze of demented darkness
smoldering embers simmer
ardent in bright red...

Confidence Is Sexy
she's got mo' curves
than a winding road
so much junk in her trunk
it need a sign saying wide load
but dont get it twisted
she's still as sexy as can be
she looks good, cause she feels good..
confidence is hella sexy
she dont care who like it
care even less about who dont
some may waste time on the opinions of others
but she most definately won't
and dont let the size fool ya
she can still go 10 rounds
what some see as lacking because of size
she makes up in stamina pound for pound
please believe it kitchen or...

Requiem of a Misfit ***collaboration with Loki of Literati
i commited vicious crimes
i cheated the system
strangely i was the victor
but also my only victim
They were tipsy I was a littl'un.
I caught a tip as a vic that was chillin.
As a whole it was a just a role I was fillin.
So I got sicker to deliver
A show to stick to what withers
Flowing rivers of sin
To splash over skin whispers and shivers
but im done fighting with my past
done wrestling demons to the ground
im done with words
that apparently have no sound
My proudest exclamation was loudest in its...

The Heist **collaboration with Poetikmind*
my eyes on you like a panther stalking its prey
your eyes on me mesmerized by the way my hips sway
i walk up,lean close and whisper "let the games begin"
you smile cause im wearing nothing, but a sly come fuck me grin
then nervously you look around, this just couldn't be
why was everyone still working,didn't your coworkers see me
wondering if this was fantasy or was really happening
you blink and shake your head saying "i must be daydreaming"
was i really right here in front of you live and in the flesh
naked...

Rise and SHINE!!
all night long you've slumbered
in yesterday's traces
dotted all i's crossed all t's
covered all your bases
and when your day was done
you laid covered in good graces
reviving mind,body and soul
energizing and rejuvenating
for this new dawn that approaches
for you to awake and embrace it
you are alive and well
who could ask for anything more
and today is unlike any other
day you've ever had before
its brand new,just for you
to enjoy and explore
as eyes ease open like the sun
peeking...

Canon in D
perched atop docile tippy toes
soft and gracious as fresh fallen snow
porcelian painted smile,so statueque
in tender twirls she pirouettes
oblivious not a care in the world
i used to dream of being that girl
smiling inside that music box
always protected by key and lock
as if she knew secrets no one else knew
just what went on inside that box,i hadn't a clue
but she would alway come out spinning and smile on cue
when nobody was watching i wonder what does she do
does the music continue to play
does she dance and twirl and spin all...

The Reconstruction!!
*** my part in a colab with the Mad Scientist***
as he sits with his head in his hands
searching, sifting ancient sands
time has proven a mystical cypher
he has grown,not just older but wiser
The passage of years
has left plenty reminders
which led to removal of eyes
that were merely blinders
memories plague senses
Some bitter some sweet
plenty of losses
but never any defeat
i watched in awe
as he sorted suffering
all the loose ends
life can bring
insane pain it seems
created this beast
as infinite emotions ...

he says he digs my demure personality
that my bashful smile is downright sexy
and he builds blushes inside of me
makes all my inhibitions slip away quietly
he envokes a fiesty fire in me

a southern belle, so im always a lady
well :) except when i don't have to be
so i welcome him with down home cooking
southern cuisine so delectible looking
all he can eat and if he's thirsty
mississippi molasses to sweeten his tea
tempting tastebuds with savory delite
sweet potato pie good to the...

Misunderstand Me!
please misunderstand me
when i tell you what i don't need
when i show you how to love me
dont you dare take heed
no need to show concern
hell, you can leave
dont bother to say goodbye
i promise i won't grieve
it's not like im feeling you
nope not in the least lil bit
im no puppet, my heart has
no strings attached to it
im only gonna think about me
never you and i,certainly not we

...but tell me did you read
the fine print closely

Post Traumatic Word Syndrome
they say "its a fine line between genius and madness"
and that insanity breeds ingeniousness
see you cant control madness,cant confine insanity
its inside the mind and only self possess the key
it can't truly be cured with a pill or held by a lock
in that same sense, creativity is neither in nor outside the box
scientist say creative people have the same gene as those linked with psychosis
now thats not saying in order to attain brilliance one must suffer from neurosis
just that there are fundamental genetic links and similarities...
