POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Every day I have the same argument in my head. The little devil sitting on my shoulder does this wild end zone dance when he wins, the angel on the other shoulder just gives a little prayer, so sometimes I go with the devil just to see the dance.
A Witch's Smile
No mortal man could resist
the mischievous grin of a witch
A smile that outshines the sun
brightening summer days
and warming long winter nights
we see our dreams and desires
within this shimmering smile
I see myself as I meant to be
that is the power of your smile
a witches' smile is the most beguiling thing
for it is made of mischief and magic
it is made for passion and play
she makes her desires your own
as you dream of sensual frolic
...

Warlock and Witch (an evil love letter)
mi casa es tu casa
mi sangre es tu sangre
mi dolor es tu dolor
mi alma es tu alma
-------
burning hatred and distain
for the limits that chain
black wings unfurled
curses...
mi sangre es tu sangre
mi dolor es tu dolor

Smiles
I have fallen in love
with so many smiles
shy ones
hiding so much
glorious ones
that shine like the sun
gentle ones
caressing my soul
ones that mock
with challenge and dare
welcoming ones
that renew the spirit
quirky ones
eclectic and free
and a lover's smile
that makes me blush
I have loved every smile
from every women I've ever met
but there is one smile above all others
that special smile you share just with me
with so many smiles
shy ones
hiding so much
glorious ones
that shine like the sun
gentle ones
caressing my soul
ones that mock
with challenge and dare
welcoming ones
that renew the spirit
quirky ones
eclectic and free
and a lover's smile
that makes me blush
I have loved every smile
from every women I've ever met
but there is one smile above all others
that special smile you share just with me

I miss you
I miss you
sipping coffee
smiles
and repartee
long walks
quite talks
beneath
the dying sun
gentle breezes
bringing sneezes
cooling
the heated day
words
obscured
our anger cured
by shadows and night
never speaking
yet we hear
thoughts
of love held dear
I miss you
all these miles
your mocking smiles
and flashing eyes
let's go there
if we dare
seeking adventure
and finding life
I miss you
sipping coffee
smiles
and repartee
long walks
quite talks
beneath
the dying sun
gentle breezes
bringing sneezes
cooling
the heated day
words
obscured
our anger cured
by shadows and night
never speaking
yet we hear
thoughts
of love held dear
I miss you
all these miles
your mocking smiles
and flashing eyes
let's go there
if we dare
seeking adventure
and finding life
I miss you

A fire in the night
a fire in the night
yin and yang
polar opposite
bipolar
mental disorder
the path to the light
runs through the night
the holy pyre
born of hellfire
two becomes one
darkness shines like the sun
in madness embracing the two
knowing it our due
spirits revealed
just to feel
pleasure and pain
humanities gifts to gain
hiding
fear and biding
afraid of getting burned
blistered scars earned
falling to my knees
if only you could see
weeping
spirits...

Woken
depressed
compressed
I am confessed
buried
heavy weights carried
under a mountain of sin
harried
married
to my unholy desires
adrift
deep in a rift
this my poems gist
light
becomes lite
with forgiven and love
Night
and fright
cower or fight
hole
become whole
communion with my soul
broken
yet with a token
for I have been woken

A Simple Prayer
Find something to get mad about,
and something to laugh about
Look for diamonds in the rain,
just to watch them shatter
in a million rainbows of light
Find someone you're mad about,
and laugh with someone you care about
Rediscover love in the morning sun
Look for a spirit to challenge and caress you,
and caress the challenges of your spirit
Hold a butterfly in your hand,
then let your love go, ...
and something to laugh about
Look for diamonds in the rain,
just to watch them shatter
in a million rainbows of light
Find someone you're mad about,
and laugh with someone you care about
Rediscover love in the morning sun
Look for a spirit to challenge and caress you,
and caress the challenges of your spirit
Hold a butterfly in your hand,
then let your love go, ...

Mile by Mile
Only the stars know my scars
painful memories that are ours
we hide them with a smile
burdens carried mile after mile
unbent before God's trials
the stars to witness this holy mess
with our burdens we are truly blessed
finding faith in God's caress
painful memories that are ours
we hide them with a smile
burdens carried mile after mile
unbent before God's trials
the stars to witness this holy mess
with our burdens we are truly blessed
finding faith in God's caress

Past, Present, and Future
Same blood, same bones
these callused hands remain unchanged
but I do not recognize this face
everything is rearranged
the mirror lies of what it sees
tells me what has past
only in dreams does the future unfold
this is not the man I meant to be
this stranger in my skin
I smash the mirror, erasing the past
shattering in a thousand shards of burning light
with no direction home, the future now my only guide
do you hear the siren's song
daring me to seek the widest tempest
as I cast myself into the maelstrom in...

Burdens
Lay your burdens down
they are not worth your frown
I will shoulder your grief
for however brief
and dry your wings
of the tears that cling
You are loved beyond your fears
for all eternity love endures
with words and rhyme
we seek immortality
that we might find in time
that love has always been waiting
for you and I
they are not worth your frown
I will shoulder your grief
for however brief
and dry your wings
of the tears that cling
You are loved beyond your fears
for all eternity love endures
with words and rhyme
we seek immortality
that we might find in time
that love has always been waiting
for you and I

Dark Dreaming
powerless to resist
unable to desist
lines flow bold
on these pages I hold
words of dark dreaming
so innocent seeming
yet written in blood
now trapped in a flood
these my phantasies
of dark alchemies
speaking blasphemies
that rips open a door
for the next lines of prose
unwillingly composed
this spell now complete
with lines of deceit
the price my soul
has always been the goal
to write in rhythm and rhyme
with these my words
reality blurs
to live my phantasies ...

Remember
hating the fear
we hate out of fear
objectifying
denying
and crying
for what we can't control
as if - we were the only soul
calling our desires whores
with images of fucking on the floor
we find solace in bed
thinking our fears are dead
reviling
and defiling
temptations so beguiling
so much for the inhumanity of man
pleasure becomes pain
forgetfulness gained
using deflections
and erections
to hide the child inside
fear becomes lust
ENOUGH!
enough of living in fear
from the sins...
