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
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

I Wish
An albatross lifts and I'm off
a free spirit drifting in air
filled with a springtime elixir
night and day mix leaving behind
over exposed cheeks
and I seek only a solace in you
I wish we could wake
under a string full of lights
that pearl our two souls
pressing your bosoms against mine
tie our two necks in a simple slip knot
knowing feelings are never forgot
you bat your eye, and together we'll fly
off in a passionate sky
a free spirit drifting in air
filled with a springtime elixir
night and day mix leaving behind
over exposed cheeks
and I seek only a solace in you
I wish we could wake
under a string full of lights
that pearl our two souls
pressing your bosoms against mine
tie our two necks in a simple slip knot
knowing feelings are never forgot
you bat your eye, and together we'll fly
off in a passionate sky

There You Were
..and there you were
standing in my rain
not caring getting wet
for I was not a dream
an impossibility about
to become made possible
the greats all gifted us with words
sang high praise to pain and promise
entitlement of love, honour
of grandeur's of the sea
laid down in history
from that, your vision took
daisies float atop a pond
honeysuckle falls unto the wind
I hear the dire rustle
calling to bring me home
eyes of blue you dance
the twilight of the ball ...

A Place
There's a place
a place I so long to go
distanced from distractions
of the day
tilted and tucked away
far from the promised road
of yesterday's dream
Where yellow fragrant flowers
only speak of love
each lucent petal pulling
at a piece of my heart
and the gentle breezes
holding me ever close
There's a place
a place I so long to be
where green spacious mountains
sing out towards the heavens
where abundant butterflies float
oh so gallantly
along crystal clear rivers
and with my...

Bursts
Paved, gold has molten away
shape-shifted desire
released and relegated
to be alone
the derelict dove hovers
over an odious mountain
held in truth's past
closely abreast
love why hath thou beseeched me
as your far away sun and
your far away moon wander
why have the mountains moved on
and the wonders all escaped
withered why
with thy wind hast Moby
letting your caged up dovelets
up and flown free
love why hath thou beseeched me
as your far away sun and
your far away...

In the daylight I can see
all the troubles haunting me"
Skies have been painted grey for eons
death's chill has crept over my way
floorboards creak in your absence
reminding of a happier days
The dances so slow and erotic
disrobing more than just fear
enacted in stiff revelation
dictacting your presence draw near
Hours upon hours of distraction
feeding more logs to the flame
steamed in lost aspiration
breathless I call out your name
Your scent still roams my hallways
I can never let you leave me...

Cravings
I don't wish to bother you
as I rap upon your door
I just find it beautiful
what you have in store
words casade
effortlessly
and I stare off
into your sullen eyes
mouths water for just one taste
the oceans sing a hopeless tune
I drift off into your daydream
as helplessly I swoon
I tap upon your window
peeking into every fancy room
sweet scents of ambrosia overcoming
a revelation of serenity sits still
my heart beats a little bit louder
know that all this will
open up to a...

I'm Weak
My heart pangs and yearns
the flutters flit, float and turn
my fingers and toes tingle
as i untangle
those long lovely locks
wrapped around my mind
soft winds blow and
I still can't get enough
but these darkened clouds
create chaos over
a smooth flowing stream
of consciousness
tugging at the tears
suspended with all my fears
red holding back the blues
navigation gone too
figments fighting off the fright
not saying what is right
or wrong
feelings so strong ...

Fire's Flame
Thirst across an aching tongue,
indulged, an innocence to imbibe,
a need to brew, to rid, then take
mixed among the muck, the fake
greed it sits in awe and waits
seeking out a sinful wake
to quench, to soothe
as lovers crave
a dance consumed
by fire's flame
indulged, an innocence to imbibe,
a need to brew, to rid, then take
mixed among the muck, the fake
greed it sits in awe and waits
seeking out a sinful wake
to quench, to soothe
as lovers crave
a dance consumed
by fire's flame
