POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction On the knife edge of creation, some tread carefully, others dance but I tend to use the edge as a slip and slide. So here I am, redefining the person I was; scars, cuts and all.

The ghost of love
The ghost of a memory
carried gently on the breeze
a beguiling fragrance
of a haunting melody
hidden within our beating hearts
the ghost of a whisper
and poignant beauty of a weeping soul
hidden as teardrops in summer rain
so easily destroyed
so effortlessly destroying
the gravitational pull of love
holds my spirit thrall
gazing into luminous eyes
finding the center of the universe
in the rhythm of your heart
and a galaxy of love
within your welcoming soul
carried gently on the breeze
a beguiling fragrance
of a haunting melody
hidden within our beating hearts
the ghost of a whisper
and poignant beauty of a weeping soul
hidden as teardrops in summer rain
so easily destroyed
so effortlessly destroying
the gravitational pull of love
holds my spirit thrall
gazing into luminous eyes
finding the center of the universe
in the rhythm of your heart
and a galaxy of love
within your welcoming soul

Demon mine
Ink dripping from my quill
as if against my will
in sinuous rivulets red
words speaking of the dead
my hand moves of it's own accord
what horror is this new discord
my soul do demons now command
with possession of my hand
writing lines of flowing prose
I now unwillingly compose
rhyming words of the night
glowing of unholy light
written with blackest power
creating a demon's loving bower
I fall under this evil spell
incantations composed in hell
"my heart and soul are...
as if against my will
in sinuous rivulets red
words speaking of the dead
my hand moves of it's own accord
what horror is this new discord
my soul do demons now command
with possession of my hand
writing lines of flowing prose
I now unwillingly compose
rhyming words of the night
glowing of unholy light
written with blackest power
creating a demon's loving bower
I fall under this evil spell
incantations composed in hell
"my heart and soul are...

There are monsters and then there are monsters
Earth dreams in the night
as the sun hides her light
and darkness steals the might
lulling the world to sleep
releasing creatures of the deep
hunting errant souls to keep
born in the darkest hour
the blackness is our power
the souls of men to devour
relishing the bitter and the sour
spying on a tasting lass
whose image was cut from glass
beauty sitting in meadow grass
with eyes that see in the dark
she bids me welcome as a lark
"hello sir monster stark"
gnashing teeth...
as the sun hides her light
and darkness steals the might
lulling the world to sleep
releasing creatures of the deep
hunting errant souls to keep
born in the darkest hour
the blackness is our power
the souls of men to devour
relishing the bitter and the sour
spying on a tasting lass
whose image was cut from glass
beauty sitting in meadow grass
with eyes that see in the dark
she bids me welcome as a lark
"hello sir monster stark"
gnashing teeth...

Fire walk
Let me fire walk on your soul
purifying my spirit with burning stone
finding exquisite agony in the fire
lust leading to an existential pyre
the chains of my creation
melting in red hot passion
the phoenix rising from the ashes
to be met by tender lashes
igniting my molten core
as you fire walk across my soul
purifying my spirit with burning stone
finding exquisite agony in the fire
lust leading to an existential pyre
the chains of my creation
melting in red hot passion
the phoenix rising from the ashes
to be met by tender lashes
igniting my molten core
as you fire walk across my soul

Predator and prey
running
over hard packing snow
panting breath freezing
following
a scent left behind
sharp ice crystals cutting
paws bleeding
dyeing white with red
chasing the weakest
trapped
tearing flesh
collapsing to knees
bellowing roars
of hunter and hunted
calm eyes welcoming death
yet speaking softly
"I love you"
and I fall
enthralled
cupid's mortal wound
as predator
becomes the prey
over hard packing snow
panting breath freezing
following
a scent left behind
sharp ice crystals cutting
paws bleeding
dyeing white with red
chasing the weakest
trapped
tearing flesh
collapsing to knees
bellowing roars
of hunter and hunted
calm eyes welcoming death
yet speaking softly
"I love you"
and I fall
enthralled
cupid's mortal wound
as predator
becomes the prey

You
i am a guide
that no one follows
a lover alone
following a path
brazed
in dreams
looking
for my soul
in the simplest caress
of deepest knowing
disciple and sensei
are one
reflection
within reflection
desiring enlightenment
in simple fingertips
tracing patterns
on my skin
and the sacred knowing
of another
finding
completion of my soul
in devote desire
and the simple beauty
of being
with
you
that no one follows
a lover alone
following a path
brazed

looking

The last Condor
Death carried on the breeze
weeds everywhere
dust devils
and hot
an endless expanse
soaring on wings of thought
traversing barren plains
on thermals of pain
searching
for dinner or love
filling my belly or my soul
perhaps an enlightened mole
or
a sensual goddess
clad in a sinuous dress
that can cook
in exchange for devotion
all my emotion
I dream
in a barren wasteland
swooping down
rabbit in hand
today I'll settle for food
and wait
in infinite patience
for ...

Poems are wine that rhyme
words smashed
running down the page
over ripe fruit
juices overflowing
smeared into images
sticky sweet
or tart and bitter
words with seeds
growing new meaning
fermenting ideas in rhyme
like rare red wine
an elixir for the heart
inebriating our spirits
drunk on the rhythm of life
poems are wine
that rhyme

juices overflowing

Coffee dreams
coffee steaming
in the morning sun
sitting there
in perfect solitude
dreaming dark coffee thoughts
happy to be left alone
are we the coffee
or are we the cream
adding to the dreaming
swirling through the darkness
the spoon of our actions
slowly stirring
creating vortexes and vacuum
in the wake of our passing
eddies spinning
currents flowing
pulling dreams on a journey
as we chase our dreams
that are hiding
in the wake of our passing
swirling around endlessly
in dark...

Change
fuck change
that truck from nowhere
turning life upside down
bruised and bloody
in a ditch
wondering
WTF
how do I cope
with this new
me
I liked the old me
self centered
free of guilt
pain
how do I shut out the pain
in a world of suffering
weeping
for no apparent reason
the fetal position of my soul
cries out
until
my
heart
grows
like falling through an open door
finding power
in
love
that truck from nowhere
turning life upside down
bruised and bloody
in a ditch
wondering
WTF

me
I liked the old me

Marble or bone
Marble and bone
the worship of perfect stone
cold and alone
loveless eternal ideals
how can this beauty be real
yet frail humanity
so perfectly flawed
with love and sensuality
illuminates my soul
blessing my spirituality
which would you choose
the worship of marble or bone
the worship of perfect stone
cold and alone
loveless eternal ideals
how can this beauty be real
yet frail humanity
so perfectly flawed
with love and sensuality
illuminates my soul
blessing my spirituality
which would you choose

Feasting on love
My love turns to blood
dripping slowly
in a flood
rivulets dark red
running to the sea
lapped up by the living dead
that have no more love to bleed
trading love for immortality
vampires feasting
on our caring and empathy
we are merely food
useful tools
pathetic fools
until we stop loving
and join with the living dead to feed
living day to day in endless need
pure chance I hear a haunting tune
simple love a perfect refrain ...
