POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
People lie watching love die, yet poetry sometimes tells the truth and at least pretends that love is still alive.

Weeds Dreaming of Trees
a seed grows in the dark
just waking up
roots digging deep
the first leaves seeking the sun
earth magic
the miracle of life
to dream of reaching the sky
but the seed now growing is just a weed
hidden in an immense green sea
tough and resilient
fighting to survive
I am that weed
overlooked and ignored
as we look to the cathedral above
yet I'm imbued with magic too
as part of the cosmic dance
and...

Secret Smile
A friend was in trouble
rent and job and bills
and that useless ex of hers
- so I brought wine
you know the red kind
which didn't taste all that great at first
but the second glass was smoother
and the third was positively divine
- but I digress
which happens when I'm drunk
- so we were just sitting on the couch
talking about nothing really
just being friends
when she leaned close and kissed me
a tentative kiss...

A Wing and a Prayer
I don't have a master plan
except chaos and hope
which really isn't much of a plan
I use intuition
chocolate, and music
and a well defined bullshit meter
to help me make it through the day
mornings are the best
waking up slow
smelling coffee in the air
maybe there's a croissant left in the frig
(nope, so much for hope)
sitting by my window
watching squirrels eat all the bird's food
being dive bombed by jays
sunlight through dirty windows ...

Contented, demented, and fermented
I am not fat
positively not flat
and my shape is where it's at
so I'm happy with these curves
like rich hors d'oeuvres
and judging by your ogling eyes
you like my figure just fine
a full bodied wine
ripening on the vine
the sensual softness in bed
seems to leave you brain-dead
you know you can't break me
heaven knows you've tried
broken furniture is our pride
this cowgirl can ride
head in a swirl
blushing like a girl
I...

Oh Shit it's too Late
Damn
I have a run in my hose
my slip is showing
I'm just a little bit drunk
and more than a little horny
feeling kind of cute and flirty
- I want you to take me home
but you have to earn it
do not speak of eternal love
just love in the night
I want your passion
not emotional compassion
- god how I feel alive
skin tingling and nipples hard
you smell of sweat and aftershave ...

My Hardwood Floor
I like laying on the floor
sometimes naked
feeling the coolness on my skin
sometimes my nipples grow
when I'm dreaming
of the passion this floor has seen
I have so many memories
that involve my floor
I just lay here and think
sometimes curled up in a ball
those are the bad days
the days I just shut myself off
It's so peaceful here
dreaming, thinking, and crying
my floor listens to all my desires

An Ode to my Hardwood Floors
Oh, this has got to stop
pretending you don't exist
stepping on your feeling
when you are all my desire
just laying close to you
so comfortable and cool
you give me chills
naked I reach for your touch
as you listen to all my sins
all my desires and all my dreams
you hear me as no man can
giving me the support I need
but the guilt is too much
hiding what I feel
it's over
and can't go on
just remember
I will always remember you
I am so sorry my beautiful...
pretending you don't exist
stepping on your feeling
when you are all my desire
just laying close to you
so comfortable and cool
you give me chills
naked I reach for your touch
as you listen to all my sins
all my desires and all my dreams
you hear me as no man can
giving me the support I need
but the guilt is too much
hiding what I feel
it's over
and can't go on
just remember
I will always remember you
I am so sorry my beautiful...

Never had a Chance
Bleeding on the ground
I'm dying
a red stain spreading
soaking into cloths and hair
sticky
dead and not dead
I will live
but my soul so mortally wounded
by past sins and guilt
the weapons used for murder
with sharp and cutting thrusts
my soul never had a chance
it is so comfortable here
lying on the floor
the coolness comforts my flesh
and I have no place to...

Illusions and delusions chasing men
Oh, how I curse your name
your boyish charm
and sleek physique
as I curse my very nature
for pretending lust is really love
To see you is to ache
hating myself for being wet
I've tried so hard, so very hard
pretending I don't care
only to throw it all away
And I ask myself why
as I chase a shapely ass
hoping this one will be the one
praying lust will turn to love
Pretending all the while
that you'll love me
when morning comes
your boyish charm
and sleek physique
as I curse my very nature
for pretending lust is really love
To see you is to ache
hating myself for being wet
I've tried so hard, so very hard
pretending I don't care
only to throw it all away
And I ask myself why
as I chase a shapely ass
hoping this one will be the one
praying lust will turn to love
Pretending all the while
that you'll love me
when morning comes

We are all weeds
You can take my body
but not my soul
You can make me cry
but I'll laugh again
You can clip my wings
but my spirit will soar
My soul is a weed
that grows in poor soil
I thrive in the cold
and live for the heat,
and my tears fall like rain
to water my roots
I am wild and free
even though I choose this cage
I am just me
and will never plead
a weed in the garden of Eden
but a lovely weed
to make the flowers jealous
but not my soul
You can make me cry
but I'll laugh again
You can clip my wings
but my spirit will soar
My soul is a weed
that grows in poor soil
I thrive in the cold
and live for the heat,
and my tears fall like rain
to water my roots
I am wild and free
even though I choose this cage
I am just me
and will never plead
a weed in the garden of Eden
but a lovely weed
to make the flowers jealous

It has always been this way
it has always been this way
just wanting to play
an undefined want
maybe I'll flaunt
sometimes I'll taunt
to get what I need
my ego to feed
it all seemed so simple
how I use my dimples
offering dreams
dirty or clean
to beguile by degree
a bitch without pedigree
trying to be something more
as I'm kicked out the door
after your hot breath has cooled
I was never really fooled
never giving my heart
is tearing me apart
but I'm not sure how
to love just now
it has always...

Tears and Sweaters
Emotions are a sweater
pull one thread
and your life unravels
coming apart at the seams
each loose yarn
a memory
cherished and dear
oh, the funny looks
as I wear my ratty sweater
with friends all offering help
"can I buy you a new sweater?"
"do you need any money?"
I love my friends
as they love me
but no one wants to hug me
when I'm contented and warm
inside my ragtag sweater
should I seek help
from sweaters anonymous
when I'm looking like a homeless ewe ...
