POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Remember the past, plan for the future, but live for today, because yesterday is gone and tomorrow may never come
Picture
Bend me down in the innocence
strap me on for another bull ride
catch me in the wind of the oblivion
too shot to remember your name
a pubroom anthem shuffle
engaged with the dust mite army
battling another game of pretend
it's a striped shirt kind of day
the yellows highlighting the greys
veined through a hidden paradise
banded together in a haphazard way
an inept two step tandem
I sit back with surrender
slowly swallowing
another glass of the same
strap me on for another bull ride
catch me in the wind of the oblivion
too shot to remember your name
a pubroom anthem shuffle
engaged with the dust mite army
battling another game of pretend
it's a striped shirt kind of day
the yellows highlighting the greys
veined through a hidden paradise
banded together in a haphazard way
an inept two step tandem
I sit back with surrender
slowly swallowing
another glass of the same

Music Inside Me
I left you my voice to hold on to
my dreams to set you free
for you are a delicate flower
and me the honey bee
Closer we come together
in need to behold this land
making marks upon history
entwined in mysterys unplanned
Listen to the music inside me
that carries two souls in tune
floating in endless starlight
your heart, my beat, our moon
my dreams to set you free
for you are a delicate flower
and me the honey bee
Closer we come together
in need to behold this land
making marks upon history
entwined in mysterys unplanned
Listen to the music inside me
that carries two souls in tune
floating in endless starlight
your heart, my beat, our moon

Over and Over
A tip of the cap and I'm undone
sparks flourish beneath the brim
and seductively lie
a view enhanced
enriched in the recesses
of her eye
shadows dance and dart
pulling at my heart
silently I'm split apart
mouths water and I'm doused
with an overcoming
fainted feelings falling out
'breaths eased at peace
minds grip and grasp
curvaceous corners grazed
entrails hazed (over)
and over and over
again I come
undone
sparks flourish beneath the brim
and seductively lie
a view enhanced
enriched in the recesses
of her eye
shadows dance and dart
pulling at my heart
silently I'm split apart
mouths water and I'm doused
with an overcoming
fainted feelings falling out
'breaths eased at peace
minds grip and grasp
curvaceous corners grazed
entrails hazed (over)
and over and over
again I come
undone

Distanced
Painlessly she stands,
wet with dewdrops,
a flower in blooming
the west winds come a calling
a scent moves in the distance
still, I walk the other way
be delicious, demons grip
my mind is sent away
I close my eyes and wander
nothing's here that stays
busted mourning seashells
storms brew in every cloud
greys pinned upon the backdrop
paints swirl inside
time tossed in with the turmoil
twilight never fades
I listen to the wind chimes
stealing sunset's pride
wet with dewdrops,
a flower in blooming
the west winds come a calling
a scent moves in the distance
still, I walk the other way
be delicious, demons grip
my mind is sent away
I close my eyes and wander
nothing's here that stays
busted mourning seashells
storms brew in every cloud
greys pinned upon the backdrop
paints swirl inside
time tossed in with the turmoil
twilight never fades
I listen to the wind chimes
stealing sunset's pride

It's Time
The cock hasn't been seen in a fortnight
but it's time
the vagabonds have all but vacated
and the windows boarded up
don't tell me I should wait
when waiting is wasting time
there is thistle in my hair
and the sun has burnt her mark
even coffee's stained the past
looking out through the looking glass
while you're looking in
senses spilt her sin
alongside cracks in the concrete
steam lifts off the loathsome
the heated melts the day
it's about time
the mocking bird dismayed ...
but it's time

looking out through the looking glass
while you're looking in
senses spilt her sin
alongside cracks in the concrete
steam lifts off the loathsome
the heated melts the day
it's about time

If We Could Dance
Strumming my heartstrings
Drawing me in with each note
Playing the most beautiful love song
Hearing the words that you wrote
Filling in all the gaps
The melody is for me
Beating loud and clear
Setting my heart free
Only distance keeping us at bay
You still have me in your trance
Two hearts apart, beating as one
How I wish we could dance
A soft kiss upon your delicate hand
Holding you close, holding you tight
Slow dancing...
Drawing me in with each note
Playing the most beautiful love song
Hearing the words that you wrote
Filling in all the gaps
The melody is for me
Beating loud and clear
Setting my heart free
Only distance keeping us at bay
You still have me in your trance
Two hearts apart, beating as one
How I wish we could dance
A soft kiss upon your delicate hand
Holding you close, holding you tight
Slow dancing...

Uncovering
Spinning, my world is tripped upon its axis as the feeling you deliver wraps around my mind."
Call it what you must
the ebb and flow
the tide, the tow
your moons inhale my fate
lost breath feelings
dance across my tongue
and I'm tied into you
eyes fade with the face of time
unspoken words illuminate a starlit sky
as my hand slips silently
near your unrest
entwine the night into the day
where freedoms comes to play
dream if nots but what shall be
in worlds uncovering
Call it what you must
the ebb and flow
the tide, the tow
your moons inhale my fate
lost breath feelings
dance across my tongue
and I'm tied into you
eyes fade with the face of time
unspoken words illuminate a starlit sky
as my hand slips silently
near your unrest
entwine the night into the day
where freedoms comes to play
dream if nots but what shall be
in worlds uncovering

Peace
Tender breezes graze
across her golden graces
the blue, the yellow and the green
delicate kisses enclose
what is seen and unseen
beauty awakes
new dawn erupts
and through painted eyes
light copulates the scene
a streak of the sun
dances around the windowsill
it waits
gentle as a wash of jasmine
she stares
life smiles
uncovering her with peace
across her golden graces
the blue, the yellow and the green
delicate kisses enclose
what is seen and unseen
beauty awakes
new dawn erupts
and through painted eyes
light copulates the scene
a streak of the sun
dances around the windowsill
it waits
gentle as a wash of jasmine
she stares
life smiles
uncovering her with peace

Silence
Do you hear my voice as I call out your name?"
Perception
inundated with guilt
clouded a summertime stream
encompassing flow set free
years build up to bide
time, tears hidden
lose stride
here your whisper's roam
together we're still alone
lifting off a southern breeze
fighting off the peace
minding not the tease
or the terse or even worse
~listen can you hear~
silence sweet sweet silence
together we're still alone

Into Your Beauty
I don't need an Eiffel Tower as my backdrop
nor picture painted perfection gracing a Louvre
romantic candlelit dinner elegance at a Casa Cruz
nor a breathtaking view of The Old Man at Storr . . .
to deliver all my heartfelt desire
radiant red, smoldering, a slow stoke
burning, for you, I am your fire
and you, in all your brilliance
are my flame
dancing in every minute breeze
seen and unseen
felt in every crevice of my being
spread in both dreams and reality
wild and free
sparks ignited in a heated destiny ...

Mixed Messages
Concocted in my mind
a mixed message of meaning
bitter and bland
words lie alone in the deserted sand
Hot winds blow and I shield my thoughts
not giving in to what's gone wrong
is it the same old song
or a dance that's drug out too long
I await for the answers
but the questions are blurred
barely they're heard
it's goddamn absurd
It has been said
change is good for the soul
but when is too much
has it taken its toll
when the beauties all roll
Addictive it seems ...

Overtly Exposed
lights flash
mob mentality
femme fatale-ity
overtly exposed
heads and toes
proprietary proposition
bent awkward deposition
•
mind-altered
•
darker matter didn't matter
amongst the splatter anymore
from sea to shore, she saw it all
the rise, the fall
asleep without a peep and a peek
turning red the other cheek
the maid made her weak
moistened crystals clear
not getting out of here
or there
~
dead, she's alive
