POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I have been writing for years. Finally ready to share my 15 year journey. Does not have to be pretty but has to be honest!
Cloud Balloons
An imagine nation
Sealed towards a path
Of en-heighten-ment
An ice crystal ceremony
On a course of destiny
Found in a place of helium
Consumed with freedom
Absorbing my crown chakra
A Thousand Cloud Balloons
Tethered to my brain
By molten lightening veins
Pouring and wrapping around
My hands like rubber bands
This armada of
Transcendence
Pulling on my skin
In independence
Til I split open
Torn towards heaven
Bought by the sky ...

Moonflowers that Bite
Fields of Moonflowers
Reaching with
Psychosomatic static
Into the bedroom of the moon
Tracing and lacing the
Predictable midnight air
With Poisonous pages
Of white petal sages
Filled with liquid glycerine
Trapping youth to be seen
At midnight savoring the write
With intentions to strike
Sending the full moon
Into a crescent coma
Fooled by the white
Moonflowers that Bite
Reaching with
Psychosomatic static
Into the bedroom of the moon
Tracing and lacing the
Predictable midnight air
With Poisonous pages
Of white petal sages
Filled with liquid glycerine
Trapping youth to be seen
At midnight savoring the write
With intentions to strike
Sending the full moon
Into a crescent coma
Fooled by the white
Moonflowers that Bite

Xanadu
Roller-skating
Up the highway
Of a redwood
Tree trunk
So fast the
Wheels gave way
To feathers
Of electropunk
As muses of
Neon doves
Soaring over a
Sea of fantasy
With art for
Hearts that love
Technicolor
Defying gravity
Dream beams
Of creativity
Landing to inspire
Magic streams
Of timeless
Movie screens
Into me
Into you
Enter
Xanadu
Up the highway
Of a redwood
Tree trunk
So fast the
Wheels gave way
To feathers
Of electropunk
As muses of
Neon doves
Soaring over a
Sea of fantasy
With art for
Hearts that love
Technicolor
Defying gravity
Dream beams
Of creativity
Landing to inspire
Magic streams
Of timeless
Movie screens
Into me
Into you
Enter
Xanadu

Python Prison
Chiseled flesh arms
Slithering around my waist
Not wanting any space
Nuzzling my face
My crushing safety
Of masculine security
Coveting me freely
Making me feel alive
Squeezing just enough
To feel my heart beat
Through muscle and bone
Reminding me I’m not alone
His stiletto beacon
With matching dress
His favorite possession
That hisses fashion
Who wraps me up
In a silk cell
A man made heaven
My Python Prison
Slithering around my waist
Not wanting any space
Nuzzling my face
My crushing safety
Of masculine security
Coveting me freely
Making me feel alive
Squeezing just enough
To feel my heart beat
Through muscle and bone
Reminding me I’m not alone
His stiletto beacon
With matching dress
His favorite possession
That hisses fashion
Who wraps me up
In a silk cell
A man made heaven
My Python Prison

Priestess
My smoke’s fuming
Insides are growling
Feeling’s here to stay
Won’t go away
Relishing the decay
Calling my Priestess
To my Demoness
Grab a white feather from
Your headdress
Dip into holy water
Anoint my flesh
An exorcism
Let’s write it out
Worlds meant to shout
Pull out my devils
Place them somewhere else
Drag them straight to hell
Lock them in a rusted page
Calling my Priestess
To my Demoness
Grab a slice of bread from
Your Eucharist
Place on my...

Black Ocean
I live on the other
Side of the moon
Where I exhaled my
Last breath into the
Mouth of the
Black Ocean
Where I was smelted
Into a burning
Silver tidal wave
Of magnetic fields
Dispersed as
Paralyzed stars
And I am grateful
My time in the
Mirage of blue
Skies has died
It ached with a
Blinding brightness
Always feeling the
Graceful pull of
The water of night
High above ground
My black ocean savior
Filled with tragic magic
Showing me how to float ...

Granite Garden
Hear it in my soil
Hear it from my bed tomb
Bass cobwebs in tune
Playing chords for you
Notes written in a book
Music of my milestones
Never feeling alone
I’m the seeds of my tomb
Fixing to bloom
Words of a verse
Sung so softly
Ghost of addiction
In the Soundgarden
My blood's in the sun
In the Soundgarden
My song's in the air
But In the Granite Garden
I'm everywhere
Hear it from my bed tomb
Bass cobwebs in tune
Playing chords for you
Notes written in a book
Music of my milestones
Never feeling alone
I’m the seeds of my tomb
Fixing to bloom
Words of a verse
Sung so softly
Ghost of addiction
In the Soundgarden
My blood's in the sun
In the Soundgarden
My song's in the air
But In the Granite Garden
I'm everywhere

Father of Hope
An enriched bountiful heart
With the power of wealth
On a zenith pilgrimage
Of the golden age of ages
Leaving decadence footprints
Woven in maps of opulence
Lavishing the poor
Converting the whores
Brocades draped over slaves
An entourage of silk brigades
A journey of sand miles
Lead by gold dust camels
To an enlightened path
Guided by jeweled staffs
Chronicled of his reign
Compassion without chains
With the power of wealth
On a zenith pilgrimage
Of the golden age of ages
Leaving decadence footprints
Woven in maps of opulence
Lavishing the poor
Converting the whores
Brocades draped over slaves
An entourage of silk brigades
A journey of sand miles
Lead by gold dust camels
To an enlightened path
Guided by jeweled staffs
Chronicled of his reign
Compassion without chains

Phoenix Eyes
In a world full of weight
The floating mind hibernates
Behind eyelids that twitch
With a fevered restless wish
Behind a wall of saline
Xanax gasoline
Awaiting to be liberated
From eyelash cages
Rising from the ashes
Both in harmony as one
Demons in the sun
Clinging to the stages
Of lines and pages
Understanding the unseen
And the in between
Scorched messages sent
Helping the mind bend
As they return home
Never flying alone
In unity and symmetry
...

Fireflies
Fluttering around in
My crystalline domain
Fire breathing visions
Alongside my brain
Each flurry of pieces
Arriving and demising
All limitless ideas
All in seconds lasting
A Godlike fuse
To find in the dark
Flying to amuse
Until finally it lands
Flickers on my hand
The Joan of Arc spark
Igniting the page
Burning the stake
Fire beating
Like a heart
Pages of skies
They arise
Fireflies
My crystalline domain
Fire breathing visions
Alongside my brain
Each flurry of pieces
Arriving and demising
All limitless ideas
All in seconds lasting
A Godlike fuse
To find in the dark
Flying to amuse
Until finally it lands
Flickers on my hand
The Joan of Arc spark
Igniting the page
Burning the stake
Fire beating
Like a heart
Pages of skies
They arise
Fireflies

Mercury Webs
Metal legs
Weaving mercury webs
Casted spells
Sculpting eggs
Of francium cells
Transforming earth
A Maman birth

Emerald Leaves
Not ready to be left behind
Just got a re-burst of time
The ritual of evolving
A crowded fleeting feeling
In verdant so vibrant
Each leaf an oasis island
Gem filled beauty within
Chlorophyll inside my skin
Emerald leaves made from a sunlit sky
Feeling the beams giving me life
Reaching for memories in the clouds
Not ready to be pulled down
Forgotten leaves swept off the ground
Progressing past a forgotten town
I’m holding on for the shimmer
For you to remember
The twinkle in your...
