POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
My outlook reflects my writing; make haste but don't hurry. I don't think of myself as a poet. Some day I may actually deserve the moniker of "poet" but that day won't be anytime soon.
Red, Blue, or Green, we all have to live here
Saddest thing about political discourse
in this time and space
is so many issues should transcend parties
not even talking about race
Now if your child is in a park
and gets thirsty on a summer day
clean water free of pollution
is what we want going that way
Doesn't matter if you are blue
living in California sun
or red in rural Oklahoma
were whipping winds make anything come undone
A bullet intended for a gang member
that goes wrong and sprays away
doesn't ask Democrat or Republican ...

Soap Box; Can't Help It 101
I have partisan preferences
even though no longer a Dem
but once again I must ask what's going on
as we slouch into November
election day
Daggers and darts thrown at the other side
while the candidates themselves stay clean
on the surface debates gloss over
quiet about issues which challenge the status quo
depression day
Money makers the media companies that rake in
tons for expensive ads
ads that may distort or ignore the truth
and now the Super-Pacs
get drunk day
Not even sure it is so much the...

Implications
Author's note: I feel compelled to state that I never condone rape. A woman should be able to wear anything she wants without a guy thinking the clothes give him a license to violate her. This is more about my warped mind. Rest assured that even if I am thinking it, I am the last person to ACT out on my twisted meanings without consent.
In my little world there are meanings
for the wardrobe of a lady
But in case you get confused
no my name is not Slim Shady
Let's start with the shoes some women take so to heart
Hundreds they may have ...

Oh That Sin!
I won't get overly spiritual; my thought is too much unknown
but I can admit my weakness that perhaps has grown
Religions call it the call of the flesh
when urges overwhelm my cravings
My mind has a trap door
images that I am always saving
But not confined to action pictures
the written word is just as bad
Maybe even more significant
for this strange sort of lad
Wonderful writers here inspire all kind of thoughts
most embarrassed if I ever was caught
By one of those lovely ladies in a moment of need
purely one reason and it's...

Selfish So Sue Me Dear
Please forgive if this is all about me
not normally the way I write
The headlines have me dismayed
but maybe not an excuse for my plight
You see politics is my achilles heel
it's debate so stirs the soul
At the end of the day all my passions
don't really know where to go
So may I focus on our mating
the pleasure that will come
When indulgence takes over
and we both have some undone
Probably start like any vote getter
not reticent in my craze
Foreplay sloppy in execution
just hoping for that mouth and a glaze
...

John please save me a seat
The enemies that they would have you fighting
start with other Americans here
For you must tow the line in November
or else we all we have too much to fear
But let's look at the merry-go ground they give us
more then the bare eye can tell
Institutions will still get richer
of this we should know really well
For when two billion is spent in advertising
that money doesn't go to you or me
But networks that are hardly diverse
maybe a token here and there to see
For it still is a struggle for a nonwhite
to get on the any screen...

The Fruit
I have spied the delicious apples that grow in your yard
so tempted to try one or two
Not sure why yours are so appealing
must be something you do
Maybe the contours of your body
walk past and my mind is a mess
Has me often thinking
about a way to release the stress
Taste is something I would like
but a thief I can not be
Instead want you to know what I desire
from my request no need to flee
For in my pursuit I am trying to make it rewarding
both for myself and the sexy lass
Not burdened by...

Tour de corps
If I took a tour around your body
what do I think I would find
Treasures I can't resist
so exquisite it would blow the mind?
Gazing at the sultry "come hither" look
that twinkles in your eyes
Or is just my imagination
that sensuality could create our ties?
Your body is accented nicely
by the dress that holds your form
Is there a standard male reaction
what if I don't fit the norm?
Or is it another day
to say my anatomy is sparked
Would I hear the sweet nothings
if I lead you to the dark?
What to make...
