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.

Credit cards need love too
does it ever bother you that I'm insane
like there's something wrong inside my brain
it's just gotta be a drain
one moment I'm frozen tundra
the next, we're burning in fun-duh
how amazing you've lasted a week
first I'm meek
then I'm sleek
all the while I freak
maybe you just like my cheeks
have you ever just loved my cranium
I have more in my head than geraniums
let me show you with my uranium
but first take me shopping to the emporium
like there's something wrong inside my brain
it's just gotta be a drain
one moment I'm frozen tundra
the next, we're burning in fun-duh
how amazing you've lasted a week
first I'm meek
then I'm sleek
all the while I freak
maybe you just like my cheeks
have you ever just loved my cranium
I have more in my head than geraniums
let me show you with my uranium
but first take me shopping to the emporium

LOVE POEM

The last days of earth (postponed)
sunlight and coffee
jasmine in the air
my favorite chair
holding hands
with the world at our command
laughing like children at play
we made it to another day
how cool is that
the survival of our habitat
the nightmares seemed so real
angst is all I feel
until I see your eyes
smiling at our demise
extinction denied yet again
love truly does remain
lust our refrain
drinking coffee together
sitting in the sun
the nightmares are all done
for I have found the one
jasmine in the air
my favorite chair
holding hands
with the world at our command
laughing like children at play
we made it to another day
how cool is that
the survival of our habitat
the nightmares seemed so real
angst is all I feel
until I see your eyes
smiling at our demise
extinction denied yet again
love truly does remain
lust our refrain
drinking coffee together
sitting in the sun
the nightmares are all done
for I have found the one

All that remains
mad
burning mad
blistering skin mad
radiation fallout mad
we've been had
why am I so glad
this world is so fucked up
i just up chucked
.
the madness takes all we can give
and leaves no reason left to live
we drown our apathy
with lust and fantasy
which could be fun
if we could only outrun
the earth that's been overdone
.
our extinction is such a fuss
if the climate doesn't kill us
then the politics must
so I hide under the covers
waiting for a lover
with wit so clever
as I...

These Knots
With hips that haunt
demurely I flaunt
even as I wickedly taunt
a little attention is all my want
acting so nonchalant
the one I set my trap for, caught
secrets of my body taught
between these sheets we fought
what riotous damage wrought
how I worship you to think I'm hot
love and lust my only thoughts
all else comes to naught
can you please untie these knots
demurely I flaunt
even as I wickedly taunt
a little attention is all my want
acting so nonchalant
the one I set my trap for, caught
secrets of my body taught
between these sheets we fought
what riotous damage wrought
how I worship you to think I'm hot
love and lust my only thoughts
all else comes to naught
can you please untie these knots

Demons that purr
hiding from myself
like some pitiful elf
poor timid me
drinking herbal tea
filled with burning lava
maybe I need more kava
strutting my cojones
but they're just phon'ae's
and all that's left is meek
my fear does reek
the feral demon inside
is just a kitten that sighed
but stand aside
for my timid has died
my inner demons' now vetted
and demands to be petted
.

FICTIONAL PROSE

The day I destroyed creation
The day I destroyed creation began just like any day. Waking blurry eyed, straightening my halo, pins and needles in the wing I slept on funny, shuffling to the coffee maker, kicking the bookcase in the hall and cursing (sorry God) my sore toes. The same old routine for a millennia where nothing ever changes. There is tedium inherent in eternity and the serenity of an ageless existence. Still, being an angel seems better than being dead.
-Anyway, it wasn't my fault, maybe too many plugs in the outlet, a simple spark and swoosh (and why would God not have flame-proof drapes). So, uh,...

Watching the world burn
oh how gleefully you light the match
putting out flame with gasoline
just to see the world burn
our souls bathed in fire
can we get higher
or fall flaming
love always
ends as
ash
putting out flame with gasoline
just to see the world burn
our souls bathed in fire
can we get higher
or fall flaming
love always
ends as
ash

the world freezes and cries

Tapestry
the fabric of my soul
woven of time
life forever frozen
entwined
with images of power
and haunting beauty
visions of both heaven and hell
cutting out the flaws
thread bare
and tattered
my soul begins to bleed
weeping through the fraying holes
turning into a deluge
using positive affirmations
to patch the tears
sealing the rift
by closing my eyes
my life slowly flooding away
unraveling until all that's left is ........

Cold as Stone
words that lie
and hearts that die
turning life to dust
where once was lust
now's just bloody rust
a mortal wound
of love and desire
curse your demon's fire
we flew so much higher
almost reaching the sun
finding only a funeral pyre
endings that burn
stomachs that churn
puking all that was given
our lust thus driven
and souls now riven
with a knife of bone
as heaven groans ...
and hearts that die

endings that burn
stomachs that churn
puking all that was given
