POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Prayer and Poetry is Powerful
Hopes were dashed.
Anger replaced hope.
Tension turned to tears.
Tears reveal the future is worth fighting for.
Doubts and anger find solace in prayers and poetry.
So, wipe your eyes.
We did our part.
Prayers and poems return purpose, patience, remembrance,
belonging, willingness, inclusion, community, confidence, wisdom.
We wash our souls of this present pain.
We are worthy of Promises that do come true.
Change reveals that Truth is steadfast.
Remember the past.
Don't let history...

Thoughtful Words As A Poem
She reminds me of angelic beauty.
Her flesh is the feminine incarnate of Mother God.
I intend to rise above the highest heights with her and her words.
I will continue to fly free when I read her words.
I am ready to accept her distinctive raw desire.
I am ready to venture back into the womb of her tender ambience.

An Impassioned Acquaintance
Don’t be afraid when I look into your soul.
I won’t enter unless I am asked.
I’m just searching.
Searching your language,
To decipher how I’ll understand what you thought, what you wrote.
Even before you write, I dream of your thoughts as they become envisioned.
The brilliance with which they flow is found in your heart’s byways.
There’s always a message.
The prophetic energy with which they flow from your mind is ever
present in your soul because I put it there.
It is pure love.
Pure energy.
Do not become...

To Shed
Forage the eggs.
For the eggs were formed.
To shed issuance.
To shed innocence.
Our life's blood.
Our life energy.
Our soul.
Our heart.
Every month.
Every year.
For length of time.
However long it takes.
No need to search the seas.
You are the sea.
Only your heartbeat matters.
You are the exception.
The sea knows and
The birds sing your praises.
For the eggs were formed.
To shed issuance.
To shed innocence.
Our life's blood.
Our life energy.
Our soul.

Stardust
Come away with me
I have to remember.
Help me, please.
Advise me as a father would.
You can always leave
Whenever you want.
We're like two kids
Playing games.
We find ourselves embracing
Our moment, our conversation.
So, what's wrong with that?
We're just discussing stardust.

I NEED A SAFE LANDING
I may never see you again because despair lingers.
The breath of the gods is on the move swallowing anything in its path.
Take my hand as I walk across the bridle path.
My simplicity has left for higher ground.
Fear floods in and surrounds me.
My authenticity is non-existent.
I want you.
No, I want me.
I’ll wait for you.
No, I’ll wait for me.
I want to abhor my own discouragement.
I want to mature into a pure persona.
Can you see above your beauty and bravery?
Yes, you can.
You know how.

Cosmos Rose
I imagine Gabriel's breath misplaced
in the middle of winter
Where fragrance in misty silence rests.
Nearer I heard the rose blooming.

When The Leaves All Fall
Two days ago the yellow leaves on the tree in the park were in all their glory, today they are all laying on the ground.
I believe that door has closed once again.
Not even in my dreams did they say goodbye.
They all fell within forty-eight hours and nobody needed to say they would, cause they could.
They will wither and shiver next to the river,
beneath the empty canopy of their bare branches,
until their beauty is blown away by the wind.
They will no more flaunt their symmetry to be perceived.
The veil has given consent again to...

The Swan
A cold lonely swan searched under a pile of moonlight reflections for his lover.
He panicked about and paddled into frosted cobwebs hanging from an autumn willow.
The cobwebs hanging from twilight's mist dripped with the rain
As so delicately, too, did his tears.
He swam 'round as his ripples spread out over the surface summoning his mate.
The rest of the birds have already flown away for the winter.
Where was she?
He sighed.
Not even sight of a lone feather to follow.
Didn't she want his company...

Embracing Exodus
I found my soul weeping in the silence of heaven. It was
Then I realized the empathy in my heart was lacking.
I saw your shadow sleeping on the steps of heaven.
Our hearts were disillusioned and empty. Tortured, misled.
Now my hands are cold.
You waited too long!
Your mistrust lead you astray.
2095-The Year!
Coming of age.
The cusp of time itself—on
the heels of eternity.
Onward!

Impassioned
Listen.
Breathe.
Breathe with me.
Listen to the warm beat of my heart.
I feel the sway of autumn.
I dance under falling leaves of yellow and orange.
Mother Earth herself will slow the beat of my heart when the weather turns colder.
But for now the equinox has gotten a hold of my senses.
My hormones are on high alert.
I have fond hopes of loving you steady, sensually.
Autumn has summoned me from a dreamy west wind to reach
beyond the horizon...

The Nightmare and I
It's the fog that casts shadowy doubts. And then it's dark! All of a sudden it's dark!
I'm panicked about the darkness.
Even though the light is on, it's dark.
It's dim and delusional.
I'm tired and exhausted from sleeping.
I don't remember the dreams.
I don't retain the memories.
I don't want to participate.
I don't want to remain.
It's too hard to see.
Am I going insane?
My head is always in a hurry.
It's foggy as hell and it hurts.
It thumps.
With each step.
The shadows...
