POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
The serpents tongue is liquid and claims to be wise
Blindfold
Staging illusion;
a warning
till
death
Seizing the manner
From what truth
is
said
The blind are forgotten
Unto shadows
they lie
Stricken impairment
of their mind
Shelter the anger;
the emotional decay
Confusion;
mere victims—
our thoughts
gone
astray
From thy mouth,
I possess vision
Of how
the
whispers perform
Capability to sunder
Undue sadness,
reborn
Deceived by the blindfold
That envelops my kind
absolving conclusion
Is...

Inheriting bones
The jade
of the quiver
In measureless tones
Resounding in antics
Inheriting bones
Resting on Renfrew
In the bleak
of
malign
The sword that you fell upon
Will shatter in time
Your soul has been emptied
Your body
lay
still
Made peace with the house
By regarding
your
will
Never lessen the thunder
Nor veil thy good name
In breach
of
the
sinners
Left playing the game
of the quiver
In measureless tones
Resounding in antics
Inheriting bones
Resting on Renfrew
In the bleak
of
malign
The sword that you fell upon
Will shatter in time
Your soul has been emptied
Your body
lay
still
Made peace with the house
By regarding
your
will
Never lessen the thunder
Nor veil thy good name
In breach
of
the
sinners
Left playing the game

Grit and Velvet
He dances
with
storms
whirling in the wilds
of status
and
belonging
Gilded by the denote
of
texture
Grit and velvet romancing without tune;
the cadence
of
a
perilous persona
seductions;
chiselling depth
from perception
Faded mockery
forgive us, the test
of
logic
He menaced in the east
In the belly of the beast
Stopping solely
to glance
at
its
crimson
Temptations
parading on the blade of a razor ...

Catatonic
Shape indiscretion
as it lies
Despise the chaos;
absorb the guise
As you wander around
without your heart
You clamour, unending,
yet make a new start
As you wander away
without your soul
You adopt another
but it takes it’s toll
It’s unsteady here. I feel neurotic
The darkness spreads— I’m catatonic
How do I escape this mottled skin
That my spirit has just wallowed in
Should I tug at the seams
or loosen the knots?
Spread the incision
or wait till it rots
Will I walk away,
healed...

Relinquishing Presence
Revenge:
Best served hot
Maniacally ridden
Euphorically driven
Revenge:
Bastard sought
Settle him into his chains
Foretell of rich gains
Revenge:
Rope held taut
I’ll pamper and soothe you
Til my cable will groove through
Revenge:
Blood stained - fraught
Take a rest for the moment
deep breaths and own it
Revenge:
Gravesite sought
Creating your prison
No way you’ll be risen
Revenge:
Absent thought
Lay waste to your essence

Baited Echoes
The rush of luscious conscience
Weaving through the mind
Temptations perking the lips
Sensations jerking the hips
Flutters in the temple
Breath taken in a wisp
Seductive whispers
Baited Echoes
Blissfully taken
Weaving through the mind
Temptations perking the lips
Sensations jerking the hips
Flutters in the temple
Breath taken in a wisp
Seductive whispers
Baited Echoes
Blissfully taken

Two Quips of a Stone
Two quips of a stone
One tethers
One hones
Two lengths of a while
One shadows
One riles
Two hatches of trust
One glimmers
One rusts
Two tongues of a lie
One’s filtered
One’s vie
Two jades of a soul
One’s vacuous
One’s whole
Two depths of a sliver
One enters
One delivers
Two shades of a scar
One fades
One chars
Two blades in a war
One settles
One scores
Two means of an end
One submits

Painted Dreams
If I stay,
what drives my day?
Who paints my dreams?
Who writes my plays?
If I go,
who will take my path?
Who will love your soul?
Who will shade thy wrath?
If I linger,
who brightens my spirit?
What shall you offer
and how should I rear it?
If death sleeps among us
What depth does it call?
Does it lay waste to the sorrow
Or do nothing at all?
what drives my day?
Who paints my dreams?
Who writes my plays?
If I go,
who will take my path?
Who will love your soul?
Who will shade thy wrath?
If I linger,
who brightens my spirit?
What shall you offer
and how should I rear it?
If death sleeps among us
What depth does it call?
Does it lay waste to the sorrow
Or do nothing at all?

Passage
The armour
of
challenged rehearsal
A plenitude
of
constant reflection
Instilled in newfound desires
Virginal appetite for order
Smooth introspection;
A ledger
for
courageous design

Electric Chair Blues
Condemned in a whisper
Charged with denial
Feared within reason;
unaccompanied rile
To reach vacillations before they amend
Creating a victim;
explaining the end
Reaching absoluteness to terminate the guise
Enhancing the pleasures of my torturous demise
My innocence is threatened by one final closure
For exhorting the switch releases composure
Victory is born to those who conclude
Voltage of fury; no blood to exude
Interrogated;
wanting what is harboured in my brain
Persecuted;
ending a chapter of your...

Elements
Best be
with
the moon
Pale dance; soft swoon
Best be
with
the fire
Fall hard; oft mire
Best be
with
the wind
Play coy; rescind
Best be
with
the rain
Foist love; no gain
Best be
with
the air
Cruel hand; fresh tear
Best be
with
the sun
Spate chance, undone
Best be
with
the stars
Our scars in jars
Best be
with
the earth
Blank page; rebirth
with
the moon
Pale dance; soft swoon
Best be
with
the fire
Fall hard; oft mire
Best be
with
the wind
Play coy; rescind
Best be
with
the rain
Foist love; no gain
Best be
with
the air
Cruel hand; fresh tear
Best be
with
the sun
Spate chance, undone
Best be
with
the stars
Our scars in jars
Best be
with
the earth
Blank page; rebirth

Irresolution
In the wilds
of
indecision
Wisps of glimmer
and wit suffice
Jest the risen
into
tools
of menace and haste
Impending designer
of
choice
The winding of the chine
The coddling of verve
Present in fitness;
doleful
in
gains
The patent desires
of
indolent verdict
measure descriptors
of
allegiance
From the desert breadth
to the glade
of
empty pining
Defining the depths
that cannot endure
the simple
reactive ...
