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.
The River No More
Humans always seem to want to rule
Make the environment another tool
In summary we end up the fools
It is to ourselves we apply the screws
"The rains have come early, they say
We’re all gonna wash away
Well, that’s all right with me
If heaven’s torrent can wash clean
The arrogance that lies unseen
In the damage done since we have gone
Where we ought not to be"
First a dam to control the flow
If we forget to patrol
Someone decides to pollute the water caught
We altered the regular flow ...

X Rocket Glare
I have a special rocket
Designated for one
Set to ignite
When the sun is fully done
With heat and dry conditions across the US
Fireworks are a concern
But hopefully in your vicinity
Is the only place this will burn
And besides if it gets too hot
You will know how to cool it down
Skills you have seem capable
Probably hearing my enjoyable sound
Know I suppose there is a chance that a blaze
Might be ragging maybe even wide
Where is my fire extinguisher
Could it be what you want to ride?
So let them scare the...

All in my head
I wish I could write the perfect poem
Which explains the ardor and desire
Place all the perfect lines at your feet
To ignite your torrid fires
If I could every sentence would build
To a fevered, sensuous pace
So at the end you would be awakened
Maybe even flush in the face
Not a word would seem contrived or trivial
No doubt they are for you
A description of consensual intimacies
Quite clear in what we would do
It would explain each stimulus and response
From the first smile to when we part
But in way that would leave to...

Walk On By
Why do you tease me
As if you can't control
The walk, the glance, the scent
Do you understand the toll?
The price paid in my mind
Can't focus on tasks at hand
A stirring below the waist
Fully charged and so it stands
You brazenly stroll by
As if you haven't a care
Your legs well accented
In heels that women rarely wear
Rather then linger close
You are gone from my eye
Now stuck in drab conversation
Thinking of an excuse to say goodbye
After what seems like hours I am free
On the prowl to...

Are You From Above?
Step by step inch by inch
No rush let's take our time
Exposed as only two lovers can be
Knowing it is more then just the wine
Something calling like atoms that collide
Combined an earth bending force
Mine is not to question the "why"
Rather just to enjoy the course
For I was steered free from just a pretty face
Common to be found any day
Even the prettiest will age in some way
But your beauty will never fade away
For you don't need blush or highlights
To provide a scene so fair
Just waking to see you smile ...

The cornerstone that is my heart
"Love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are"
My beloved though walking on ground
Must be more then a common sound
For in her midst feeling so unique
And a calling at it's peak
From were I started questions swirled around
Would one so true ever be found
A perfect clearing blew the maze away
And brought her charms along my way
"I know my love by her way of walking
And I know...

In The Water
I can't say I am absolute on creation
But if an animal I could pick to be
I would like to be a dolphin
And travel from sea to sea
As a human I know enough about terrain
From the deserts to the alps and more
National geographic led me to the poles
Know well what an isthmus is for
And while the sky may have it's freedom
Gravity's pull can be very harsh
I would hate to be taken down by a hunter
And find a grave in a yucky marsh
The main predator for the dolphin
Is in reality not even the shark
Rather humans usually looking...

I like that Song
I am less than the song I am singing
I am more than I thought I could be
Spent some time as a child in day dreaming
As a young one I sailed on the sea"
First lesson that was learned
Was about tolerance
Summer days spent in camp
All creeds, colors, backgrounds
Songs from the global village to delight
ever rascally Los Angeles kids
"So come stand by my side where I am going
Take my hand if I stumble to fall
It's the strength that you share when your growing
That gives me what I need most of all"

Getting There
Realization hit me in the eye
Truth's eternal cry
But what I wanted
Was not what she needed
Sparks flew from moment one
Eyes met and fingers did run
Mind's eye to physical quest
In hindsight was that really best
I responded with a tour de force
Very certain in the goals of my course
Gratification my immediate goal
Not even caring the long-term toll
For the bodily comfort yes indeed was found
But there was yet another sound
A cry to be loved beyond erotic moves
Most graceful and caring...

No Harm Sweet One
Oh sweet one do I dare reveal
These emotions that you can peal
When I think of that smile
And all it may contain
Maybe be a fire but
I want to touch just the same
Could I provide quenching of that thirst
From my lance is a potent burst
To swim deep into your sea
Is a pleasure and place I want to be
Hearing the summation of passionate ties
In slumber's collapse is where we shall lie
The memory of the friction sparks lusts renewed
Just want to love you down now that isn't too crude
These emotions that you can peal
When I think of that smile
And all it may contain
Maybe be a fire but
I want to touch just the same
Could I provide quenching of that thirst
From my lance is a potent burst
To swim deep into your sea
Is a pleasure and place I want to be
Hearing the summation of passionate ties
In slumber's collapse is where we shall lie
The memory of the friction sparks lusts renewed
Just want to love you down now that isn't too crude

Oh It Seemed Like A Holy Place
"Out in the shiny night
The rain was softly falling
The tracks that ran down the boulevard
Had all been washed away"
In my youth I thought law was my path
Now I look back and can only laugh
Mr. Irwin made it seem so fun
Out of the silver light
The past came softly calling
And I remember the times we spent
Inside the Sad Cafe
Then my eyes turned to politics
And ideals I thought were universal
King, Kennedy, and Chavez seemed to pave the way
"Oh, it seemed like a holy place
Protected by amazing grace...
