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

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 ...

The Death of Memories
The cancerous loss
of death
eating away
destroying
in agonizing slowness
the memories
past
and future
leaving only the emptiness of now
a non existence
dead
and lifeless
choking on the ashes
of angry words
and loving plans
her memories
are now my memories
I weigh their worth
to gift
or sell
or to throw away
parts of her
that are now part of me
the cancer spreading
from her body
to my life
the pain is too much
to cut out each...

Me
A naiad
dreaming of magic
hidden in our bed
A harlot
cheap gangsters moll
with cigarettes and beer
A child
gleefully waking
on Christmas day
A warrior
fighting to survive
doing what I must
I cherish and tease
with equal abandon
I scream and shout
like a mastodon in heat
I am your erotic dreams
and your worse nightmares
rolled into one
but at the end of the day
I am just me
tired and in love
and held within your arms
dreaming of magic
hidden in our bed
A harlot
cheap gangsters moll
with cigarettes and beer
A child
gleefully waking
on Christmas day
A warrior
fighting to survive
doing what I must
I cherish and tease
with equal abandon
I scream and shout
like a mastodon in heat
I am your erotic dreams
and your worse nightmares
rolled into one
but at the end of the day
I am just me
tired and in love
and held within your arms

Your Smile
Bathed in fire,
consumed in the pyre
by the heat of a thousand suns
Yet why am I so underdone?
A mushroom cloud rises,
no more surprises
The whole world burning
has always been my yearning
Atoms splitting atoms,
stratum by stratum
Destroying hate
in the blazing light
of the thermonuclear force
of
your smile
consumed in the pyre
by the heat of a thousand suns
Yet why am I so underdone?
A mushroom cloud rises,
no more surprises
The whole world burning
has always been my yearning
Atoms splitting atoms,
stratum by stratum
Destroying hate
in the blazing light
of the thermonuclear force
of
your smile

Love is a laundry basket
Emotions turned inside out,
twisted and stretched out of shape
Love disappears like missing socks,
coming apart at the seams
and everything seems too tight
[leave the 'all you can eat' buffet out of this]
But sometimes you fit like broken in jeans,
hugging me in all the right places,
caressing me with out of the dryer warmth
and you smell like fresh sea breezes
So in the very bottom of the laundry basket,
trying to hide beneath the layers,
I find our love crumpled and torn
but clean and renewed,
ready to face another...

caressing me with out of the dryer warmth

Goddess, whore, wife, slave
Goddess, whore, wife, slave
useless labels of men's creation
I am none of the above
My path, my fate and doom
are my creations alone
I stand within the storm
and scream
"Is that all you're got?"
as I'm beaten to my knees
Hiding behind a smile and makeup,
this life does not own me
and it never did
My heart and soul are free
And stronger than your fists
Bruises heal in time
as does my hate,
leaving me standing in the storm
I have no need to speak,
it's all...
useless labels of men's creation
I am none of the above
My path, my fate and doom

I stand within the storm

Hiding behind a smile and makeup,
this life does not own me
and it never did

And stronger than your fists
Bruises heal in time
as does my hate,
leaving me standing in the storm
I have no need to speak,
