POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
The experiences and life lessons that I've had compel me to write.
Diversions
She painted me a picture
Of a beautiful scene
Told me it was heaven
Past the wilting green
Painted the sunset purple
Because of the royal hues
Swirled the clouds around the sky
To make it seem all fused
The object was waving goodbye
The ship was sailing away
The ocean was wearing its caps
As my love drifted astray
Of a beautiful scene
Told me it was heaven
Past the wilting green
Painted the sunset purple
Because of the royal hues
Swirled the clouds around the sky
To make it seem all fused
The object was waving goodbye
The ship was sailing away
The ocean was wearing its caps
As my love drifted astray

Feed Me
My heart hangs
On your every word
Thirsting for the
Pleasure of the sweet music
Coming from your loving heart
They feed my soul
The nourishment it needs
To stay happy, dancing and
Alive to carry me forward
Headstrong into the face
Of this debilitating world
Your sweet words
Feed me
On your every word
Thirsting for the
Pleasure of the sweet music
Coming from your loving heart
They feed my soul
The nourishment it needs
To stay happy, dancing and
Alive to carry me forward
Headstrong into the face
Of this debilitating world
Your sweet words
Feed me

Whispering Wind
The face disappears
In the wind it weaves
Like smoke rising
From the embers
Of the dying flame
Taunting it calls
Whispering your name
A memory of days gone by
Ethereal beauty
Come back to me
The silence is deafening
In my cavernous heart
My fears ring in my ears
Like the whispering wind
Always taunting
Your name
Upon their lips
In the wind it weaves
Like smoke rising
From the embers
Of the dying flame
Taunting it calls
Whispering your name
A memory of days gone by
Ethereal beauty
Come back to me
The silence is deafening
In my cavernous heart
My fears ring in my ears
Like the whispering wind
Always taunting
Your name
Upon their lips

Confession
A corpse sat singing
Playing for some gold
Bodies stood waiting
Praying for their turn
Angels prodded kindly
Moving along the line
Sand was busily seeping
I couldn't mark the time
Doubts came creeping
Massaging mind and soul
The singer reluctantly abandoned
His pot of gold
Playing for some gold
Bodies stood waiting
Praying for their turn
Angels prodded kindly
Moving along the line
Sand was busily seeping
I couldn't mark the time
Doubts came creeping
Massaging mind and soul
The singer reluctantly abandoned
His pot of gold

Love Child
Hold me close
Breathe upon my skin
Till our heart beats
Synchronize their consecrated hymn
Press me closer
Fold me into your eye
Worship upon my alter
Soul’s elated sighs
Melt into me
I’ll drink you in complete
Divine sanctified waters
Life’s renewing feat
Essences blend and
Creation unveils it anew
The love child
Born
Of our golden hue
Breathe upon my skin
Till our heart beats
Synchronize their consecrated hymn
Press me closer
Fold me into your eye
Worship upon my alter
Soul’s elated sighs
Melt into me
I’ll drink you in complete
Divine sanctified waters
Life’s renewing feat
Essences blend and
Creation unveils it anew
The love child
Born
Of our golden hue

Uncertainty
Bloody fists fly
Impacts loud with groans of pain
Two pair non-stop
A prize fight of epic proportions
Anger and spit flying across
The open air like rain
Blood spattered feathers shaking
Reptilian crimson scales clicking
Like nails raking against each other
No weakness in their assault
Determination on their mind
Hatred in their eyes
They hurl themselves
Against each other
Claws raking, ripping flesh open
Immortal lust from the beginning of time
Engrained hatred all encompassing
Spurs them on to win
I...

Sweet Adoration
Spilled honey everywhere
The pot’s boiling over and
I am still hungry
Time is slowly passing away
The dawn will be waking soon
Sunshine coming through
Those doors and broken windows
Screaming for attention
The moon howls one last time
I rush in eagerness to feast
The container fills
My body hurts and
My head swims with notions
Of youth and beauty long
Since dead and forgotten
In those times of plenty
What I wouldn’t give for
That sweet adoration
Pumping through my veins
Building me up
To conquer it all...

Love Conquers
Patience waits
For the rational man
Panic rushes
Towards the selfless man
Horror wallops
The susceptible man
Love conquers all men
And calms their hearts
To face
Once again
All life has to offer
For the rational man
Panic rushes
Towards the selfless man
Horror wallops
The susceptible man
Love conquers all men
And calms their hearts
To face
Once again
All life has to offer

Allow Me In
Allow me in
Completely into your essence
Into those places hidden away
From prying eyes and thoughts
Acidic to your soul
Allow me in
Completely into your serenity
The sanctuary of sanity
The garden of recuperation
Where you must retreat
When life demands too much
Allow me in
Completely into your heart
That place reserved for lovers
Allow me to bathe in your loving waters
To feel your womanliness and
All that it entails
Allow me to see the infinite being
Shared only with precious few
Allow me to taste your trueness...

Fine Line
Horrors unknown
In places hidden away
From caring eyes
Secluded from love and
The eyes of God
Sinister degenerate laughter
Happily working smelting souls
Anger, lust and hate filled heart
Fervently applying the craft
Free to torment, and pound
The innocent soul for pleasures sake
An unholy coalition
Unfathomable to pious men
No rest for this blacksmith
The jewels must be formed
One ounce of compassion
In either direction
May change the jewel into
Divine gold
A Saint or
Putrid waste
A monster
He walks a...

The Peering Glass
No ordinary window
Our minds eye
We focus on the scenes
Playing outside the obvious
A kaleidoscope of many colors
Wonderfully bright
They color the world around us
The full spectrum at our fingertips
Yet the scenes change
From eye to eye
The glass bends the visions or
The seer bends the scenes
A unique point of view to all
Moods may however
Influence the outcome
Our minds eye

Yet the scenes change
From eye to eye

The seer bends the scenes
A unique point of view to all
Moods may however

This Knight
My shield, I have cast aside
My sword, is sheathed and
Sits against your bedroom door
I have abandoned my armor
Tonight
This knight
Comes to you
Open, vulnerable to your whims
Tonight, I am not a knight
I am only a simple man
With simple needs
That only you can satiate
My sword, is sheathed and
Sits against your bedroom door
I have abandoned my armor
Tonight
This knight
Comes to you
Open, vulnerable to your whims
Tonight, I am not a knight
I am only a simple man
With simple needs
That only you can satiate
