POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Quietly It Comes
Although I’ve never said “I love you”,
My love for you comes out of my eyes
It comes out of my skin when I sweat you
It comes out from between my thighs
From my mouth when I hear you breathing
My love for you is strange
Something I am not acquainted with
It is sudden, naïve, trusting, careless, lustful, and free
This love is new and I am wary
What do I do now with this love?
Should I leave my current cage to fly to yours?
Do I roam the earth, the seas, and the heavens alone
to find myself = to wander towards you?
Once I leave here, I...

Love's Mirror
Your beauty is reflected in the summer breeze,
In the birds that chirp in spring
In the water that runs down the stream
The leaves that swirl by when a wind is blowing
Because you made me see this beauty,
You made me love myself: my body, my spirit, heart, and soul
I love you
In the birds that chirp in spring
In the water that runs down the stream
The leaves that swirl by when a wind is blowing
Because you made me see this beauty,
You made me love myself: my body, my spirit, heart, and soul
I love you

In His Bed
Can't sleep
So I turn around to stare at my lover
I'm repulsed and attracted
I want to cut out his stupid smirk with a scalpel
But how I love to look at his face...
He is a mixture of sadness and ambition
Of water and fire
Carrying the wind, I overcome both
My breath overtakes his will and makes him bend to mine
And yet, he knows how to control me
To make me wait
And in my madness, I DEVOUR him
The hurricane consumes me and I am born again...

Feelings On The Floor
I wake up in my room
To find my feelings scattered across the floor
The spiky heels underneath my bed,
Confidence walking on sexy legs
My body image underneath the heap of jeans in the corner
Oh look -- there are those books that I have to finish, stacked
Against the wall
Job applications sprawled out
Inviting me to stick to my commitments
A myriad of unfinished poems only shows my lack of inspiration
Paintings I made that I used to think were beautiful
are tossed aside
As if I am worth nothing...

Inviting me to stick to my commitments
A myriad of unfinished poems only shows my lack of inspiration
Paintings I made that I used to think were beautiful
are tossed aside

Price of Freedom
The separation is like fire
Torment to my soul
Evaporating the waters of contentment
The desert canyon of happiness emerges
--- QUIET yet deep
Beautiful yet empty
This is the value of my freedom
Torment to my soul
Evaporating the waters of contentment
The desert canyon of happiness emerges
--- QUIET yet deep
Beautiful yet empty

Untitled 3
The smallest fear
Under my right breast
Nerves shot like a cocaine addict, without
Paranoid with the slightest sound
Discovery of my Self, hidden amongst the husks
Wet liberation between my thighs
This feeling of understanding
Awakened and Alone
Fearless and Vulnerable
Isolated within myself
A labyrinth, my thoughts clawing to get out
See the daylight and the night
The staleness of dichotomy
No passion, fruit without sweetness
Is it this that I am destined to face?
A soulless shell I am to be
Forever wandering my Self

Our Dead Flower
We met in the strangest of places
One that everyone seem to fear
I feel in love with your voice
Ever since the first time
As I continued to explore the deep caves of your mind
That, instead, lost me
I was left in the dark
With no way to find my way out
However, I didn't worry
I enjoyed being in your darkness
Listening to your thoughts
Thus, our relationship began to flourish
---- Break ----
And you bean to feel the same feelings as I
I still don’t know your truth
But I want to ignore it
As we talked each day, this seed grew into...

Untitled 1
Lead me down the alleyway
Filling me with your drug
To the room of your intimate plane
I am prepared to go, high and drunk
My senses heightened to feel
Separating imagination from reality, I explore you
Your caverns, deserts, and jungles
Each terrain, different from the last
Exciting my wild emotions, I let them loose
Out of their cage, they are free
With no judgments and no cares
Teach me, and I will learn
To satisfy both of our curiosities
in this inner world
What is it that draws me to you?
I refuse to burn, but I enjoy...

Here I Am
Here I am, among ritualistic tribes
A weed amongst grasses
An anomaly in the field of rigid shapes
A figure without points, without lines, with no end
An extension of bio-anonymity spreading farther
I am the virus you dread
The disease infecting your imperfect brain
Breeding forth beauty and innovation
Breathing life into your lifeless lungs
So you can have a taste of real existence
What it means to become a reservoir for all senses
I am your worst nightmare
Silence sneaking up on you
Like some fucking thief who hasn‘t come to...

RECORDS FROM MY MEMORIES.
In between commonplace uniforms & thoughts on a field’s bench, I read you.
I read your words, your “POetry”, your cleverly disguised attempts to own me….I ask now, why?
I ask with a r-e-s-o-w-n heart, a distorted mind, and a resolved soul.
Why did you want to kill me? Did I do you some unknown wrong?
Did my questions from curiosity and love for knowledge, combined with my naïveté, turn you into a monster?
OR did you harvest within the caves of your soul, some secret plan all along? ...
