POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Rain on the Raven
The rain hitched a ride
on the ravens wings
covering the day in
darkness
Falling off it's feathers
onto the old Chevy
beating it's rusty body
Beyond the pasture haze
suffocates the rolling
hills
Thunder clapping in
the lonely sky echoing
through in passing by
on the ravens wings
covering the day in
darkness
Falling off it's feathers
onto the old Chevy
beating it's rusty body
Beyond the pasture haze
suffocates the rolling
hills
Thunder clapping in
the lonely sky echoing
through in passing by

Work
Blanket of fog slowly
rolled over the pond
Early morning chill as
clouds hold pinkish yellows
Pigeons spring from the
old barn opening blue wings
Stone wall hides behind
vibrant green moss
That old thorn bush needs
to be chopped
In the distance the farm
tractor hums
Poetry holds on for one last
hug
While the days work strangles
the soul
rolled over the pond
Early morning chill as
clouds hold pinkish yellows
Pigeons spring from the
old barn opening blue wings
Stone wall hides behind
vibrant green moss
That old thorn bush needs
to be chopped
In the distance the farm
tractor hums
Poetry holds on for one last
hug
While the days work strangles
the soul

Death of a Lion
In song he roared words
He lived life on the edge
Thoughts became poetry
Wicked yet beautiful
Self destructive
With a lethal dose of talent
Taken by addiction
He lived life on the edge
Thoughts became poetry
Wicked yet beautiful
Self destructive
With a lethal dose of talent
Taken by addiction

drink from my garden
lips smooth as satin
sun kissed flesh
past bare hills
to my garden delight
there's something in
my bones only he owns
with petals unfolded
he drinks from me
my milk and honey
sun kissed flesh
past bare hills
to my garden delight
there's something in
my bones only he owns
with petals unfolded
he drinks from me
my milk and honey

Still~
He leaves me on the bed
oiled and out of breath
Just laying there in my room
I can still feel him in me
oiled and out of breath
Just laying there in my room
I can still feel him in me

Morning of Peace
Behind the pine trees the little fox plays
all the while, a sprinkle of rain sprays
With the gentle breeze comes the scent of soil,
tangled up in the wind, the morning doves coo
Through branches, sunbeams peek
searching for pitch, on which the tree it leaks
And the bark shines like tiny pearls,cascading
from trunks on blades of grass covered in dew
all the while, a sprinkle of rain sprays
With the gentle breeze comes the scent of soil,
tangled up in the wind, the morning doves coo
Through branches, sunbeams peek
searching for pitch, on which the tree it leaks
And the bark shines like tiny pearls,cascading
from trunks on blades of grass covered in dew

Flesh~
She was like a cool summer night
Her velvet voice like a song
His mind quiet
She seeps inside his head
Thoughts of flesh
Her flesh
Their flesh
Her tenderness on his body
She was innocent yet wicked
With just her smile
He was smoldering heat
Pressed upon her white lilies
With burning passion
Her velvet voice like a song
His mind quiet
She seeps inside his head
Thoughts of flesh
Her flesh
Their flesh
Her tenderness on his body
She was innocent yet wicked
With just her smile
He was smoldering heat
Pressed upon her white lilies
With burning passion

wonder~
we've only met by words
inside the poem is beauty
not known except from afar
eyes flooding with wonder
our mouths crack open with lust

Beauty of Earth
I go to nature for calmness
It's peace pauses rampant thoughts
Buzzing bee's like music in my ears
I bare myself in blooms of lavender
Wind brings tree's and pasture to life
I hide myself in the beauty of earth
It's peace pauses rampant thoughts
Buzzing bee's like music in my ears
I bare myself in blooms of lavender
Wind brings tree's and pasture to life
I hide myself in the beauty of earth

Do we share the same sky
breathe the same air
Could the sun shine upon
my face in darkness
In the shadows of the trees
would you hear my silent whispers
Could you find me from just the
beating of my stricken heart
breathe the same air
Could the sun shine upon
my face in darkness
In the shadows of the trees
would you hear my silent whispers
Could you find me from just the
beating of my stricken heart

A Pest
He's here
He's there
He's everywhere
A bug eyed fly
A pest
A fake we should put to rest
He's there
He's everywhere
A bug eyed fly
A pest
A fake we should put to rest

All That Has Died
It was as if everyone I've loved
And all that has died
Was showing me they are there
With me from the great beyond
Beaming all that they were
Through cracks in the evening sky
And all that has died
Was showing me they are there
With me from the great beyond
Beaming all that they were
Through cracks in the evening sky
