POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
You know without You I am lost, You are the temptation, You are my god, I wanna feel You deep inside, can You hold me just for this night?
... little pieces of me ...
.. Janis Joplin, tragic beauty ...
looking through, straddling the fence
of a flat lined burned out love affair
igniting a licking dis-comfort of
a most dire love sickness
i have come to enjoy the salt in my wounds
and the cherished abrasions of your love
you are my beautiful affliction
as your kiss festers like a boil
i find myself ugly, looking through your eyes
cluttered and misted with asylum scenery
have you come to infect or inflict madness?
to chain my blood in your quick and fierce embrace?
baby,...

i am your temptation
your every malicious thought
brazen, tainted, and reckless
i am your deception
waiting in anticipation
shining in it's purest form
i am your hesitation
leaving you to wander
in circles searching for peace
i am the hand you reach for
when no one else is there
in this charade so perfect
i am the user, the abuser
haunting your nightmares
serving the great deceiver
i am your false beauty,
all of your hidden hate
and the hideous face of averice
i am your...

Tyra Blackthorne
She enclosed her dreams
wrapped them within weary tears.
Hiding from her reality
and the demons sharp claws.
She hid her craquelure face
and rain kissed eyes
from the visions of
the ungodly world.
As velvet petals
her wings fall
like a blackened curse
eternal from the heavens.
Her serenity and
her dreams vanishing
exiled far from
the divine light.
She held a black rose
thorns piercing her palms
revealing passing memories
of a beautiful faded land.
Her mate, her lover
adopted from...

Testaments of Sodom & Gomorrah
in these downtown alleyways where
shattered men tend to broken dreams,
born to live and die among the ruins
within the piss holes and the cardboard boxes.
where junkies play with their tainted needles
and the ever present sharks push their lies.
shameless voices echo through the bottle
and pimps push their tricks to decide
the price of their nightly sucks and blows.
uptown through the paved midnight stars
while painted on smiles play in a
circus of mannequins in this elite world.

Kollider
through the pale shades of a
fading kaleidoscopic light
your incandescent figure
shines in the daring night
hasty as the breathless wind
in fragile feathers you vest
i thirst for your wispy touch
to languish in your sweet caress
an aroma so heavenly intense
as none i have ever sensed
shackled to this jagged ground
i have stumbled over and found
you are the god of my fantasies
reveal your body as you undress fast
unveil your glory, your slendour
as you release your lustful soul at last
Master i call to you now...

trace paper mistress
i was written upon the
surface of you in charcoal gray.
your heart and soul buried
beholden to another earthly sprite.
my pigment lifts and fades
and then silently i am gone.
with one feather soft breath, blown
i linger, floating dreamy and discolored.
and you are there, standing
in all of your mesmerizing glory.
i am but a mere shell, translucent
drifting weightless in the windless air.
your hearts sighs, carved upon figments
of my apparitional dreams,
residing on the surface of me
for all the world to see.

Maria Mysteree
never what you beg her to be
she doesn’t make love, she f*cks
yeah, she’s that kinda woman
a body that says she was born for it
when I scream at the mirror, you’re a man!
not a lump of pliable clay
I can kiss her goodbye
I can walk away
then she comes up behind me, rips my shirt
she sucks on my neck, bites my shoulders
her red red mouth is all over me
I grab her hair. I slap her, slap her hard!
I push her away
thru the veil of her tousled tresses
she smiles. she...

An Addled Eden
addled branches, twisted limbs casting
silhouettes upon the rotten ground.
a place where feathers lay and
burnt umbra leaves fall scattered
upon the moonlight's tinted gaze.
within this garden of endless darkness
things unseen, untouched by the living,
by the light and by all of time forgotten,
it is here the shadows will thrive in twilight
through ticking eons by death begotten.
a fog drifts upon a thousand rancid graves
grotesque, deranged in a dance of grisly
disillusioned figures moving through
this cursed realm to the chants...

dwelling on thoughts of you
you are my happiness,
my invitation to heaven...
there is only one place,
one true dream,
one direction,
of what miracle means.
if time could be ours
and the space between did not exist
i would be there holding you
making the world disappear.
there is one promise, a silent promise to be made...
love is there and love is here
to fill the air that we breathe...
what could be more precious
than the thoughts and sighs we share.

Outside of Ordinary
A sigh of mid-summer chimera flowing
upon the delicate ears of wind.
Seductively releasing a moan of luscious
poetry dripping over the breath of night.
Blood stained roses, stemmed within
a meticulously shared poem of vow.
A serenade in the star-dust of desire
and astral tranquility of celestial lust.
Enchantment is slowly waning as the
caress of the soft breeze dies.
Soon to be nothing but a memory
of heated passion slowly swept away.
The leaves drift over this nest of
crimson love set ablaze this night.
Velvet words...
upon the delicate ears of wind.

poetry dripping over the breath of night.

Forbidden Fruit
(written with JohnFeddeler)
It is written upon
these invisible sands:
What you see
you must not touch.
Spelled out by
sultry breathing hearts:
What you want
you can not have.
And when the beautiful apple
was plucked from its leafy nest,
Adam did not realize the
magnitude of what would come to be.
A chemical infused biological attraction:
The one desire to physically consummate,
to connect as one
to quench the burning fire.
we might rent a treehouse
in this renovated garden
a bleak and humble...
