POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
A poetess? I shall leave that determination to others.
Am I really all that?
When I contemplate on why anyone would take the time to comment on my writing, two thoughts come to mind:
My ego thinks it was really interesting enough to warrant their time,
yet my mind wonders if it is nothing more than a sad commentary on how much our thoughts have degenerated.
In this case, I pray for all of our sakes, my ego is correct.

Ain't It The Truth
Another thought before I turn in for the night:
Funny how when you have more on your plate than you can handle,
life begins handing it to you in "doggie bags"

Set Me Alight
when after I go
and no longer breath
set me aglow
not in a deep freeze
no box for me
do not bury below
covered in dirt
with a possible foe
no spot to find
they'll have no chance
to piss on my grave
not even to dance
Burn me to ashes
set carbon free
perhaps I'll be useful
to flower or tree
sprinkled about
gone with the wind
a part of the all
a well fitting end
For my dying wish be
not mired in the muck
but getting a jump
on the rest of those fucks ...

Don't Stop at the Moon
when thoughts of you
break minds horizon
they get me wet cause
Mercury's risin'
you place my Venus upon your face
and take us both out into space
out past Neptune, Saturn, Mars
you drink from me amongst the stars
through the asteroid belt we fly
as Jupiter goes passing by
with ankles locked as I thrust
my toes are close to Uranus
then after you have quenched your thirst
you bring me softly back to Earth
The above was written for a poem challenge
using Neptune and drink. ...

Speak Real
false praise
fills voids
but
unlike encouragement
lends no hand
to quality

Be Not adrift
Chart a course within your soul
For an empty vessel knows not it's destination.

buzzing bout the house
Busy Busy Busy
no help coming from the spouse
Busy Busy Busy
the dirty, stinkin', 'lil louse

the thoughtless make me shout
Busy Busy Busy
from my way get out
Busy Busy Busy
A kiss upon my snout
His Love His Love His Love
I'm glad I'm not without

A Glass Well Measured
I view my world and those who've entered
and relish in their sweet and splendor
To have such fortune, be so blessed
I've earned no right to have their best
Whether from my loins or another
I do not want, they are my brother
And gazing forward into the deep
I let no worries begin to creep
Not journeys end but rather start
I'll keep you here within my heart
Where I've gone there'll be no bounds
I'll rest in peace where love surrounds
And to the one I've left behind
I'll wait for you...
and relish in their sweet and splendor
To have such fortune, be so blessed
I've earned no right to have their best
Whether from my loins or another
I do not want, they are my brother
And gazing forward into the deep
I let no worries begin to creep
Not journeys end but rather start
I'll keep you here within my heart
Where I've gone there'll be no bounds
I'll rest in peace where love surrounds
And to the one I've left behind
I'll wait for you...

A Waste Of Space Poem
a herd of elephants
and pride of lions
a hail of bullets
from poachers flyin'
a flock of birds
and swarm of bees
can bring us humans
to pair of knees
a school of fish
and covey of quail
a pack of wolves
and pod of whales
a gaggle of geese
an army of ants
a party of two
for sweet romance
a den of iniquities
and pot of plants
a bunch of silliness
thought by chance
Thankfully this has ended
my mind at work, while unattended
and pride of lions
a hail of bullets
from poachers flyin'
a flock of birds
and swarm of bees
can bring us humans
to pair of knees
a school of fish
and covey of quail
a pack of wolves
and pod of whales
a gaggle of geese
an army of ants
a party of two
for sweet romance
a den of iniquities
and pot of plants
a bunch of silliness
thought by chance
Thankfully this has ended
my mind at work, while unattended

Tit For Tat.....F**k That
Not been big on tattoos
not on me but fine on you
the reason that I have no tats
is that I'm a scaredy-cat
needles make me cringe in fright
although I'm told it is alright
piercings make me feel the same
and chicken shitness is to blame
while some fumble in the dark
it came to me as just a lark
to help the aimless get me hot
a braille tat "X" on my G-spot
not on me but fine on you
the reason that I have no tats
is that I'm a scaredy-cat
needles make me cringe in fright
although I'm told it is alright
piercings make me feel the same
and chicken shitness is to blame
while some fumble in the dark
it came to me as just a lark
to help the aimless get me hot
a braille tat "X" on my G-spot

Another Space in Time
In another space in time
if I were yours and you were mine
we'd be as one for all to see
and kiss each other gleefully
we'd walk together hand in hand
and dance upon enchanted land
yet I know this can not be
for you are you and I am me
I live within the natural world
where daily duties become a whirl
anchored to the one adored
blessed by God not ignored
thankful for the things that be
thankful for not lost at sea
if I were yours and you were mine
we'd be as one for all to see
and kiss each other gleefully
we'd walk together hand in hand
and dance upon enchanted land
yet I know this can not be
for you are you and I am me
I live within the natural world
where daily duties become a whirl
anchored to the one adored
blessed by God not ignored
thankful for the things that be
thankful for not lost at sea

Rainey Day Thoughts
Sitting on the porch, rain dancing off the roof
Barbie curled at my feet
Life is good
Thoughts of bygone days
and of those to come
where I've been and things I've done
lives I've touched and those not yet
content in memories, no regrets
