POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Artistry weaves, wayward beyond. Arteries beat, sakes full of charm. Heart up a sleeve, aces on palms. Scarlet to see, fateful across. Socrates scene, Plato's response. Worshipping Greek, they know but not. Yahweh can lead, save us reborn.

Poison and Flame
There is a serpent, and there is a dragon,
They bargain for mind and heart,
With tongues and scales,
Through shedding skin and ashes,
Broken promises of euphoria.
In their witching hour,
Hypnotic, manic induction,
Feverishly driven,
A temptation and tease,
Replaces abundance.
With the moon behind the sun,
As shadows darken,
Purpose is plundered,
Through fascination,
A wondrous curiosity.
Stubborn and boneheaded,
The battle with eternal conviction,
Control and choice are...
They bargain for mind and heart,

With the moon behind the sun,

Atmospheric Exuberance
Into the swirling seas,
Spiraling colors designate waves.
Light and dark imagined,
Gathering common hearts,
The rainbow's pale eyes
Landed over seven times,
Global navigation.
Denied purpose and truth,
No citation for an anomaly,
Naked human wonder.
Stability fallen,
Sensuality aloft.
Gauging the balance,
Sacrifice is forgotten,
Traded for sin.
Explore the rain,
Deep shades of depression.
Chasing the wind's voice,
Haunted...

Wisdom Precaution
Nympho erotic, wisdom precaution.
Inward to star in, rhythm chaotic.
Whispers astonish, wilder alarming.
Mystical context, mingling problems.
Wishing dishonest, skin was to soften.
Fingers of fondness, figured for falling.
Building a promise, mixture of bonding.
Bitter to conscience, limber seances.
Riddles of robbing, innocence gone with.
Ritual rotten, ridden with staunchness.
Literal pardon, picking apart in.
Simple involvement, sinning and nonsense.
Hidden departments, victims are lost in. ...

Accurate Depiction
Accurate depiction.
Laughers then can listen.
Passion gets specific.
That's a gift to witness.
Aggregate tradition?
That affects position.
Malcom X, conditions.
Down to death of witches.
Manifest the physics.
Magic has a vision.
Man contends as wicked.
Factor that perdition.
Statures spend the riches.
Actors fend for business.
Braggards get religion.
Fastening to quicken
Angered edges glisten.
Stabbing spread as sickness. ...

The Empire
Your portion pertains, supporting the slain.
Reordering plates, reward is to gain.
On fork is filet, importance to pay.
Absorbing the pain, a tormented day.
Where corners and rain, comes pouring in waves.
In doors that concave, shall forces portray.
Her sorcerous saints, the horses and stakes.
Enforcement estates, performance pervades.
In Norse is the clay, so Morse is the way.
A worship persuades, a warship invades.
For sword and for grave, abortion engaged.
Then more in buffets, concord red that stains.
Abhorrence...

Product flow.
"Such in my genes/jeans" like borrowed clothes.
Artist jones.
Bargain Joe.
"Rustic and clean" like barber soap.
Barter foes?
Stardom woes?
What's it to me but dollar quotes?
Yonder broke.
Farther home.
Shuffle, repeat, and all atoned?
Quantum zones.
Collar coats.
Once we agree is honest hope?
Garden hoax.
Wallet hosts.
Suffering green has got a ghost.
Pocket pose.
Problem so.
Hunger releases...

Manipulated spirits?
Insinuation hears it.
Particulate the jeering.
Within you hate endearment.
Proliferate appearance.
Administrated weirdness.
Affiliated cheering.
Commiserate sincerest.
Anticipate a leering.
Origination gearing.
Capitulate some fearing.
Your indication clearest.
Initiation nearing.
Delineation dearest.
Deliberated fierceness.
Participation lyrics.
Articulated peering.
Assimilate from Seering.
Reciprocate what's realest.
Equivocation stealing.
