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!

Beneath the Canvas
Tell me if you feel it too
Tell me how to paint you
Searching for the pull
Blending lure and allure
Each brushstroke
Colored vein of paint
Creative signals to soak
Vessels of watercolor stains
Multicolor shades
Each kaleidoscope crusade
Swimming with splash
Universal drips that contrast
Flowing from the secret
Spark of the heart
Our resin creation
Adulteress collaboration
Underneath the ripples
Of dried colored skin
Searching for our pulse
Beneath the Canvas

Gold Winged Lions
Amber claws of their paws
Brush the hairstream of air
Each golden superior print
Barreling towards the Spaniard sun
Untangling spilling
Rivers of saffron ribbon
Braiding as they crisscross
In dance of enlightenment
Swooping around each other
Creating a woven splendor
Origami stair escalator
Vined with edible goldenrod
I am waiting below
Styled in a yellow sundress
Ready to bask in vitamin D
My bare feet step onto
The estival golden trail
A rush of glamour ripples ...
Brush the hairstream of air

Poetry Stained Teeth
Under the stillness of
The midnight sun
Posture of a panther
Searching for answers
Prowling for a test
Swagger to conquer
Vision quests
An examination
Spiritual immortality
The ice of life
Despite the killer instinct
Outside tonight
Shadows internally levitating
Gravitating towards light
Devouring knowledge
Reading page after page
Inside the godhead
Stacking worlds
Builder of words
Eating up all the
Black licorice ink
Consuming words of...

Ashes to Stone
Battle of an argument
trying to survive
raging fire in his eyes
burned me down
on his way out
slammed our revolving door
left my burnt ashes
on the livingroom floor
background playing our
vintage cassettes
time to cool off smoking
Marlboro cigarettes
outside checking his watch
Finally returning
brass door knob
slowly turning
he kneels down on
apologetic knees
scoops up my ashes
mixes with concrete
uses the tears
of my ashes
they still cry
rehydrate...

Dancing with the Stars
21st was my deathday
and even though I’ve died
I’ve never felt so alive
heartbeat faded into a drive
decided on a different
celestial trajectory
towards the galactic city
seduced away from god
told mom and dad to
let go of my hands
they tried to hold on
but I was already gone
bypassed golden heaven
crowded with confession
searching for new
music sessions
heard their sparkle of
promise and musical comets
hypnotized and drawn
this is where I belong
...

Motorcycles & Mermaids
I feel it in the water
waking my slumber
the vibration incantation
that of my lover
and his Harley
revving his throttle
upon my water rooftop door
my sonar invitation
that’s headed toward the shore
Time to ride
quickly reaching for
my starfish hairclips
drawn into the current I slide
ready for my road trip
Breaching the surface
waving a wink with my tides
I know he sees me
racing towards him
glistening with pastel moonlight
can’t wait to meet him
and...

Clones
feeling bored
and all alone
looking for my flesh
covered bones
keep calling all
of my clones
all I keep getting
is a dead dial tone
It’s been a while
since I’ve seen me
love watching my
plasma mirror TVs
born as tests in my
laboratory nativity
I can give you more
cause I want some more
I can feed you more
cause I can make some more
broke out of their
test tube bedrooms
guess they’re out
causing chaos
around the world
my DNA...

Haunted Prayer
my shared presence
without pretense
for the living and dead
Intertwined never buried
feel my cold silk
robe of words
gliding across
your awakened skin
resurrecting each
hushed syllable
flowing forth with
each whispered step
toward a plummeting
candle lit hallway
made of memories
reaching for me
In the sway of the flame
and I feel the moment
of surrender
of poetry
of my haunted prayer
without pretense
for the living and dead
Intertwined never buried
feel my cold silk
robe of words
gliding across
your awakened skin
resurrecting each
hushed syllable
flowing forth with
each whispered step
toward a plummeting
candle lit hallway
made of memories
reaching for me
In the sway of the flame
and I feel the moment
of surrender
of poetry
of my haunted prayer

Yellowjackets
yellow black buzz
outside your window
with stinger knives
we live underground
queens with hives
looking through
your glass window
late at night
cause we want a bite
straight through you
can’t run from us
the swarming curse
pray for a nurse
she drives the
yellow black hearse
Epinephrine
won’t save you
suicide sacrifice
sacred side effect
ritual of flight
we're your doom
coming for you
carnivorous teeth
devour hands and feet
meat that’s sweet ...

Galaxy of Poetry
They say it was
written in the stars
I say I want to
write with them
I want to fly up
on my magic carpet of
shimmering garnets
submerge my
vial of fingertips
with their
luminous essence
and write upon a
page of onyx so
smooth and black
my fingers just
glide along for
an imprinted ride
infinite black slate
each seared poem a
glimmering fingerprint
a dot of time
creating lines
and roadmaps
captured destinations
living liquid flotations
my space...

When Angels Fly
Sunbathing
up top on
towels of clouds
soaking up
close to sun
army of halos
electrified
in the land of
Kingdom Come
Feel them in the air it's swirling
Up above the clouds are moving
Hope they
pass me by
don't want to
learn to fly
need another drop
of eternity or time
dial back that
flaming sun dial
up in the sky
So much left to do
a great life left to live
praying they stay up high
when angels fly

Boom
This is for
The girls with
The waxed
Golden skin
Who make
My heart
Slam ba bam
Ba bam boom
Who me
No you
Sun kissed luscious
Kisses kissing
Tides are moaning
Jasmine scented ocean
Mid drift rolling
Color of cinnamon
Your private beach
Within your hands
Your candy land
This is for
The guys who
Drive the
Fast cars
Who make
My heart
Slam za zam
Za zam zoom
Yeah me
That's who
T-Tops down hair ...
