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.
History Will Teach Us Nothing (Collaboration with marielavoue)
It came to me the other day;
this large gap between generations
causes more and more frustration,
adding to many parents' consternation.
Everyday I see it in the hallways;
also view it on the walls,
it is amplified in song lyrics,
this emphasis on dark desolate falls.
I scan the panorama for heroes,
but it gets even worse,
thugs with a dozen babies' mamas,
nothing positive to quench the thirst.
Nothing is as simple as saying
it's because "Johnny can't read"
or the hippies are to blame
for smoking all of that...

Mr. Joel got it right, OTGDY!
I would love to drive you crazy
Make that entry fit right
Charting erotic waters
I moan baby it's so tight
I have to taste your honey
It's a tonic of choice
For my cock starts throbbing
At the sound of your voice
Wrap those legs around me
So shapely and smooth
Pleasure so intense
We must be in a groove
Forget the zodiac signs
What may be up in the sky
Our adventure in motion
Has produced a natural high
"I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints ...

Karma Stings
You took my heart
Ran it like a straight
All a game to you
I found out too late
I rebuked family and friends
What they called you wasn't right
But I was the fool
With my head hung out of sight
Using my connections
Playing games with the truth
Was I oh so naive
Even with overwhelming proof?
The funds I set aside
For a future with dreams
Like the Persian Empire
Not enough for a hill of beans
I was thinking about the late nights
Not even a massage could be found
Never entered my head
That you were...

Soldier of Lust
I am tempted I am torn
Demons whirl around me in bliss
Subtracted
Distracted
Protracted
What could be more suspenseful then this?
On fire I feel wanting to be in her
My eden feels divine
Engaged
Obeyed
Enraged
So focused on the sensual grind
Agreed to extend the pleasure
Mutual was the orgastic flow
Ambitious
Delicious
Superlicious
Why she affects me I do not know
Just her voice in the throes of passion
Brings my manhood to full life
Devoured
Deflowered...

It's a big enough umbrella but I am always getting wet
I dream of her lips
A kiss so sweet and divine
So intense in my thoughts
Wondering what I left behind
For full surrender was my guilt
The smile devoured me every time
Erased my judgment and reasoning
Controlled all meaning in my rhyme
Foolish heart goes in places
And caution thrown up to the wind
Even forsaking cooler heads
Logic never being my friend
Together an abundance of magic
Replaced the solo drive
Touching every fiber of my being
The essence of what it means to be alive
Under clouds and storms of...

But she is...
She may walk like a lady
But tongue is weapon I say
Best not cause it's use
Might be hell to pay
Creates her own fashion
Doesn't need Nordstum or Saks
Could care less about the gossip
Or knowing what lies behind the masks
An ember easy to recognize
Directed to all she holds dear
From elderly to newborns
Soft words spoken all year
But oh watch her when angry
Storms can't be far behind
Real quick gimmie shelter
No plans to be a victim this time!

Don Henley's spark
Yes it did seem like a lonely place
Protected by amazing grace
No more words did we want to waste
Silence took up all the empty space
Tried to follow but could not go
Even though a companion I was seeking so
As if sent like mana from above
Guarded by someone's unseen love
Looked to see and yet still was blind
Couldn't get past the shackles of my mind
So unnerving yet I would not flee
Drained of sensation washed to the sea
What I asked for wasn't a need
More like a bandage for an unnecessary deed
Compounded in a bizarre...

My Swedish Wood
Been so conditioned
Like the dog that finds the bone
Salivating about what comes next
A hungry one-dimensional tone
So too I was when she came close
At first confident nothing to fear
But then her probing unlocked questions
Made my attempt at seduction not so clear
For there is spirit involved
In what was at first so trite
Became a battle so epic
Battle on held my brain so tight
Far deeper then desires of the flesh
To quench is not a challenge hard
For on the surface an appealing look
Oh so easy to find in the cards...

Europa...earth's second siren
If giant steps are what we take
Walking on the moon
Do we really know what's at stake
Walking on the earth
When the dirty water washes down
Poisoning the common ground
Who will say we have gone too far
If there is no one left around
Where did all the blue sky go?
Poison is the wind that blows
Another way not centered on corporate shares
Earth in conflict can't be fixed by the dough
We blast off in spaceships
Million miles from reality
Some want to put weapons way up there
Is there no where we can flee?

Those things we should despise (collaboration with Gyspy Red)
Politicians all play a head game
Sending young ones as if an ordinary cost
Making up reasons detente is never the aim
As if unimportant the price of the loss
We do not have a care for civilian damage
To win is the all important goal
Motivation of the adversary a camouflage
In killing, there is always a violent toll
That is not say might is never needed
rather we have that, even in a win.
We should admit failure both sides conceded
To find a place where the peace should begin
Agglomerations parade around, warlords of weapons,

The order (edited by Milkyway)
Damm I am hungry
And yes I know why
Not going to come up
With a stale, lackluster alibi
Excuses are for others
Who hide from the truth
Have no more shall I
In the dark no matter how uncouth
I dream yes of midnight serenades
And what our coupling may demand
Moments we move together
Interlocked hand in hand
Mano a mano, battle royal in flight
Kisses in abundance and so strong
Worked over emotions ebb and flow
Leave us singing satisfaction's sincere song
And yes I know why
Not going to come up
With a stale, lackluster alibi
Excuses are for others
Who hide from the truth
Have no more shall I
In the dark no matter how uncouth
I dream yes of midnight serenades
And what our coupling may demand
Moments we move together
Interlocked hand in hand
Mano a mano, battle royal in flight
Kisses in abundance and so strong
Worked over emotions ebb and flow
Leave us singing satisfaction's sincere song
