POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction I'm without much technique but I make up for it with more compassion than anyone you'll ever meet. My silence or quiet is only because I usually steep in self doubt. My boisterousness is me, being utterly brave.

semblances of a love poem ~ [vignettes of a side story]
#1.
caressing of my cheek
with the back of his hand,
pressing in tightly
lips to lips,
a
perfect
first
kiss
#2.
his
cadence
of authority,
the kind
oozing
nothing
but confident
sultry,
timbre'd in
pure sex,
whispers—
"Don't fall in love."
#3.
wiping away tears
as the tiniest
smile remains
'I. hear. you.'

genuine in deed and isolation (a bird's eye view)
I found a little bird
that fell so far
from it's warm nesting place
O' the darkened comfort
of an only known
safe home
isolated
on a ground
of bitter cold
swallowed whole
in the mouth
of nature's unrepentant
icy unregretful role
a panicked flutter
of unstructured wings
a squawking strain
squeezing from premature lungs
jagged single tears
sliding into
all that obvious fear
petrified in willful pretending
heart, visually slamming
hopeless

universal deep brewed truth (pt. 6 in a neverending series)
the smallish noises
heated and pressed down
hard, into granular
slow, with strength of purpose
a crescendo
leads to the perfect cacophony
of like and so many before ~ yet new
a deep pure love
in glory of stark
and honed honesty of true
unyielding in all the protection of clarity
my heart restarts each morning
as my mouth confirms what love really is
all doubts fade as the light unfolds
disorder and chaos are of fictionalized
sense(s), slowly restores
with each tendril of warmth extended

an accustomed numb.
a flash and it dawns on you
unimagined and least expected—
bursting of clarification
absolute in the moment self-righteousness
(unasked for)
snapping into surprising place,
~that fucking missing puzzle piece~
found under a couch cushion of happenstance
only now the wish is,
for the return of the misty opaqueness
all that familiar unknowing
so comfortable in an accustomed numb
happily blinded by "well, I don't have a choice"
left self stagnant in beautiful non-decision,
is the new dream of yearn;

56 dreams to repeated greatness (An ode of ice and grit)
To understand better my love of this sport and in particular, THIS team :
https://youtu.be/FUcnu5XSeQ8
from wobbly child,
chilled to bone in early morning
repeating and repeating
determined from smallish right beginning
the makes of something,
a glimmer
transfiguration by choice
and devoted love
marshaling that will
morphing into stunning picturesque
speed of impossible to wicked lightning fast
combined strength of pure brute physical
a solid resolute character now...

Puck Drop.
.. in less than 5 minutes
The new Hockey season starts.
A shortened Season of 56 games
Tonight is the first step
on the road to Lord Stanley
adding more Tampa Bay Lightning
names to his brilliant silver bands.

an uncommon sense of destructive senselessness.
they thought supposed unknown

and pure dark hearted abhorrence
on full display
a misled wrath enraged,
inflamed to explosive ignited
'tis truer than-- and now an abundant disgrace
as bigot's evil desperately perpetrated
purposeful
down through to very bone, encouraged
riled to such gross severe,

fleeting remembrances of a hardened prisoner.
he stirs my innermost secrets
to become untwisted
then twists me
into his, of new
sanguine
in hard strength
a mythos
of his now owned blue
murdering me
with knife sharp
wit or an acumen
of brutal erotic
my mind's eye
scribes his
O' his quintessential ruffian
bold in born and breed dominance
a mouthful
of soluble silence
I adhered to his essence
inexplicably, no... yes certainly.
curling my wings around
as he clips them
..... with my eager approval ...

three stories of me (and he)
(i)
my small feet atop his
teaching me to dance;
and finer things,
like Elvis's voice
and that love, beaming down
(ii)
"mud monster"
in the blackened basement;
me, clinging to his leg
as we hunted for my sisters—
"DADDY !?!!"
..i peed.
(iii)
you couldn't really talk
confused and afraid
i sat and sang
it...

The gratitude of artistry, defiance and whiskey
to delve smartly deep
plunge of first, this surface
(a)voided in all but effort
blood, sinew
bone and heartache
a veil of corrugated tears
penetrating
moments of nothing left unsaid
spaces to be relegated
where do you roam?
umbered hues of folly
palm sweat in execrable
whiskey whispers and hushed breath
as it begins
or ends in forced abrupt
however a dream was
the sun was quiet
yet brighter then all previous
the melancholia of then ...

truth in an uncommon coldness.
wrapped in my pseudo cold weathered best
braced for an uncommon version of chill
true coldness claws and sneers it's snark jest
frozen to bone—
sHiVeRinG
confined to an icy heart's shrill
eyes pried
to open so wide
pure.

clear.
crystallized in sheer force
yet, with a tender-like care
s l o w l y....
beasts of burden gentle their snarling howls
the wind crawls to abscond
and all the while,
...spiked frost adorns
her cold
in exquisite glacial forlorn...
