POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks. ~ Plutarch So let me speak to those who care to listen ...
The Shield
Don’t shift the blame
of your misconduct
upon me.
Don’t rant and rave
since it wasn't me
who betrayed you.
The crown of thorns
around my heart
I’ve been winding up
in the course of time
is no longer a shield
against your indifference.
It only makes me
bleed to death.

Anyway
Can't tell why
my heart hurts
so much
since
I gave it away.

Appetence - Senryu
Your lips brush my ear
Ruby petals spot soft skin
Sighs of appetence

Dew
Clouds of breath rise, meet
the obscuring mist veiling
our merging silhouettes.
Coldness forgotten,
I kneel and welcome warm flesh
in bilabial embrace,
greet crystal clear drips,
anticipate the pulsing and tingling
of unashamed desire
on my expectant tongue.
I’m ravished by
the almost inaudible sigh
of your surrender.
Your lust
settles like dew
on my lips.

Amazing …
How dexterously you prune
the thorny thicket of my
withered trust.
Don’t you dare
mistake me
for the Sleeping Beauty!

Deaf
Stop talking, keep quiet!
Your words like slaps in the face
I’d rather be deaf

Yours
It needs no pins
to make a butterfly stay.
Rub off the dust of its wings
and it can’t go astray.
It will be with you forever -
but never ever
be yours.

Surrender - Senryu
Tongue strums wanton lips
Fingers dance on will-less skin
Melody unknown

Cloud nine
Cotton-soft cloud nine.
Rose-colored glasses.
So deceptive …
Dreams and hopes
Shatter on
Merciless asphalt.

Stalactites
Over the years
my tearless longing
will form marbly stalactites
in the dark cavities
of my mind.

At last
She wears her hurt smile
Her lips
The ripped seam
Of bloodless wounds
Spitting words of reproach
Into thin air.
