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.
Mondays
Life begins in panic
at way too fucking early AM
dreams cut short
such sweet surreal dreams
damn, I need a new alarm
the last one just committed suicide
throwing itself against the wall
head buried deep under the covers
chasing lost dreams
sweet wicked dreams
my hands buried in my thighs
how can I work with this yearning
I can't even walk with this aching desire
oh god, I fall out of bed
slithering across the floor
willing myself to stand
instant...

I Want to be a Debutante
I worried all Sunday
it's supposed to be fun-day
about this coming Monday
psyching myself up
just to get the fuck up
groggy and bleary eyed
swimming against the tide
on my third cup of coffee
that tastes like bitter toffee
it's the start of a new day
but I don't need the pay
lets just go out and play
yes sir, no ma'am
work is just such a scam
pull your finger from the dam
our money's...

The elixir of the gods
Dreaming of legends bold
and heroic quests of old
possessing a fearless heart
and a valiant spirit
I bravely venture forth
in bleary eyed reverence
on a prophesied quest
to the altar of the Coffee Maker
and the Oracle of the Bean
seeking guidance to the holy brew
as did Jason and the Argonauts long ago
in search of the Golden Fleece
to challenge the gods
and dare the fates
fighting razor clawed demons
meowing for my soul
in slipper socks and bathrobe
I risk a perilous journey

A Prayer to Little Gods
Giving thanks
to all the little gods
of house plants
mascara
and traffic lights
the world is alive
with magic and dreams
so I leave alms
at the alter of little gods
with hope they weave
the tapestry of me
with compassion
and not disdain
to find more fertile souls
[an ex perchance]
to ply their fateful trade
now for my daily communion
fighting eyelashes
as I race the lights to work
to all the little gods
of house plants
mascara
and traffic lights
the world is alive
with magic and dreams
so I leave alms
at the alter of little gods
with hope they weave
the tapestry of me
with compassion
and not disdain
to find more fertile souls
[an ex perchance]
to ply their fateful trade
now for my daily communion
fighting eyelashes
as I race the lights to work

I am the storm
I am the storm
bitter winds howling
screaming in feral ecstasy
cursing a loveless world
sharp talons to rake men's hearts
with needle sharp fingers
of freezing fire
a burning flame of ice
for I am no longer alive
no heart beats in my chest
nor blood flows through my veins
I am far more that human
and far, far less
for I see the sins of humanity
feasting on these transgressions
seeing the strong feed off the weak ...

Writing poetry
Inspiration is two day old perspiration fighting for the rhyme trapped by time in the prison of the mind.
Follow me for more recipes on how to go slowly insane [just kidding, I think].

The chains of hate
If only I could
I pray that I would
go back
to change the past
take back what was cast
angry words spoke too fast
undo the harm I caused
if only I had paused
before I reacted
with hatred transacted
my soul so diffracted
to go back
all the hateful words undone
before evil had begun
what I had done
hearts turn cold as stone
now I am all alone
hatred grown
reliving the sins
life begins a tailspin
until I find forgiveness
for all...

Make up sex
mad
and broken
and lost
I need a fight
in the dead of night
love has turned to hate
even as we mate
is this our fate
angry sex
and a roller-coaster of anger
our lives are a blur
with no way out
of this devastating doubt
and spiritual drought
so I turn to you
and you're not there
it's just not fair
as you battle own inner demons
that our hate has spawned
mad and broken
and lost
look at the cost
our souls covered in frost
and then like the tides
we find love hides
deep...

Like the Wind
she passed away so quietly
falling asleep in my arms
eighteen years old
give or take a day
a gentle soul
she once caught a squirrel
just to let 'em go
I thought I could save her
but my love was not enough
and now I doubt my very soul
even though she was old and sick and frail
I must have died, I feel so numb
yet I know the pain will come
and stay a long, long while
I do hope the pain will end one day
thinking of my girl at play
she ran like the wind
always showing off
as her fur...

Blush
the first time
was such a surprise
my virginity lost
along with my tattered innocence
oh, what a temptation
to feel you this way
that left me screaming
for more
I felt so embarrassed
covered in sweat
blushing
a deep red skin tingling rush
what have I done
I can never go back
and now i can't orgasm
without toys in my ass
it's all my desire
sweet anal fire
yet I still blush every time
still a girl being offered candy
can I please have the vibrating kind
wicked and...

Sticky buns
Cinnamon is my aphrodisiac
overdosed I'm a maniac
Oh my hubris
for my protubris
when my delightful curves
are served as Hors d’Oeuvres

The succubus
Oh I've waited so long
obeying propriety's forms
and society's norms
for an elegant dinner date
but I simply can't wait
using my body as bait
can we hurry up and mate
yet I feel so demure
and maybe a little insecure
as I make the first overtures
cloths disappear
as my soul is stripped bare
naked and aware
slowly teasing
is my body pleasing
revealing soft sensual yielding
and the hunger of lust
softness hiding the fire
insulating the furnace of desire ...
