POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write a lot more fiction than poetry these days but I never know when a poem might decide to bleed out of my pen. -Gemini P.S. When someone tells me to go fuck myself, I screw Holly.

It Never Dies
Nine days shy of eighteen months
it still lives within me
reminding me that it never dies
Past few weeks
it’s strengthened
An insatiable desire
snowballing into an obsession
that cannot be stopped
once it crosses that invisible line
Sometimes I feed it
Other times I starve it
although
I can never kill it
It will always be there
A part of me
so strong
that it will only die
with me
it still lives within me
reminding me that it never dies
Past few weeks
it’s strengthened
An insatiable desire
snowballing into an obsession
that cannot be stopped
once it crosses that invisible line
Sometimes I feed it
Other times I starve it
although
I can never kill it
It will always be there
A part of me
so strong
that it will only die

Next Plane to Knoxville
I look at the monitor
showing the evening’s departures
All flights to Nashville...
Canceled.
Six months of planning
down the pipes
Four o’clock in the afternoon
Next available flight to Nashville
eighteen hours away!
I check the other airlines
I disregard my anti-United policy
and book with them.
Four hours to go
I can live with that.
An hour later...
Canceled.
Weather in Nashville
being uncooperative.
Back to American Airlines
I ask God for mercy
I ask for wisdom
I ask for a solution

Confession
Lately my world’s spinning out of control
Something is missing deep in my soul
The peace I once had is drifting away
I ditch my pain through my sexual play
Plenty of women I have on my list
Some that I’ve slept with and some I’ve just kissed
Some that are married and some that are not
Some that are sexy and some are just hot
In all of them there is one thing the same
They are unwilling pawns caught in my game
One that is played in the back of my mind
Searching for something that I will not find
They are a distraction from what is...

Indigo Eyes
There are some things in life, I will never forget
Like her indigo eyes on the day we first met
She appeared in the doorway, then entered the room
Every ounce of my being, obsessed and consumed
She sat next to me and said “Hi, I’m Roxann”
Sweat began forming in the palms of my hands
We began conversation, an in depth exchange
Why we were there, how our lives were deranged
She had the body of a starlet, the confidence of a queen
It blew my mind to learn that she was only fifteen
I was amazed at her intellect, wise beyond her years
But an...

Foreign Feelings
It all came back tonight
as he belittled me
blamed me
guilted me
for everything in his life
Same as he’s always done
It flashed through my mind in mere seconds
childhood to the teenage years to the young adult years to
this very moment
I snapped!
Rage fueled me
Adrenaline shook my body
I screamed out
without awareness of what my words were
For the first time in thirty-five years
I fought back
He retreated
Roles had reversed
even if just for one night
I should feel empowered

The Nomad
The past decade and a half
has seen me move over sixty times.
A new home every three months
yet never staying long enough
to get a sense of home.
They’re just stop off points
in my ongoing journey through life.
I crave the comfort and security
yet my nomadic lifestyle
always seems to reign supreme.

God's Will
I went to church today
for the first time in months.
I wasn’t sure what drove me.
Maybe the holy spirit
or a guilty conscience.
It was a unique service
dedicated to the head pastor
who will be leaving this week
to go on missions
preaching and teaching about Jesus.
Walt and his wife are in their sixties.
Retirement age by American standards.
Instead they’re going into remote villages
in foreign lands
to serve their Master.
I respect that.
God’s will was the main topic.
It made me think about Step Three

Heroin
Scent of death is all around
Broken body on the ground
Twisted guts
liquid shits
Puking vile
throwing fits
Mangled muscles
primal pain
Bones are bruised
hijacked brain
Aching arms
veins are shot
Cotton mouth
running snot
Vision blurred
eyes are red
Starving sickness must be fed
Burning throat
lungs are hurt
Cheating death is how I flirt
Panic stricken
racing thoughts
Dreadful dreams I never sought
Dancing devils jump for joy
Snatch my soul
I’m Satan’s toy
Dick is dead
no more nut...

Autumn Nights
I want us to be naked
snuggled by the fire
on a cool Autumn night.
I want to sense the warmth
of your body
our hearts beating in sync.
I want to feel your head
resting upon my chest
your thigh draped over mine.
I want our spirits
to make love
whilst our bodies rest entwined.
snuggled by the fire
