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
Nomad's Tredge
Cinnamon skies erupt a new day
to wash along with yesterday's grey
Held fast and steady drifting away
midnight dreams of rescue
staring desperation bleeds
whispers seeping out the seams
slivers of relics
insomnia screams
Suicidal thoughts of battles waged
Setting free from feelings raged
dear departed past
casket's motor on by
seeking answers
foolish question why
Dogs howl searching out a home
Nomads tredge in silence now roam
to wash along with yesterday's grey
Held fast and steady drifting away
midnight dreams of rescue
staring desperation bleeds
whispers seeping out the seams
slivers of relics
insomnia screams
Suicidal thoughts of battles waged
Setting free from feelings raged
dear departed past
casket's motor on by
seeking answers
foolish question why
Dogs howl searching out a home
Nomads tredge in silence now roam

Leaving
Helpless rocks rest on yesterday' s dreams
hand crocheted articles of affection pile
by my side where sole remembrance lies
in wait of one more visitor to limp my way
Chills carry with her the ache of night
frost fills the horizon as sunshine falls
yellow and blue fields barely hold life
and memories of friends and fantasy
I'll be leaving soon when the night calls
a final guest surrendering to the cold
the old breaking off bread with fragility
words echo aimlessly a slow wind dies
hand crocheted articles of affection pile
by my side where sole remembrance lies
in wait of one more visitor to limp my way
Chills carry with her the ache of night
frost fills the horizon as sunshine falls
yellow and blue fields barely hold life
and memories of friends and fantasy
I'll be leaving soon when the night calls
a final guest surrendering to the cold
the old breaking off bread with fragility
words echo aimlessly a slow wind dies

One More Day
Separate pixels of personal
intrepidation ^ a paradise
of unpredictability
pieces pulling left
in adoration
or is it sublimation
where spirits cried
anchoring my own anchor
eyes daunted in disguise
picking out that prized
possession ~ dangling
sinking ^ reaching out for you
reaching out for me
teaching the beats to steady
cuz you don't know
but I don't know
where angels hide their wings
in storms that never cease
killing dreams and stealing
comprehension
take...

Turning Slow
Turning slow and twisting deeper
changes lurk and often seep
holding litmus ever tighter
lifting hope above the light
crystal snifter's promise linger
soft tip curls of comfort lain
precious hues sifting yellow
warming up unto the pain
wistful songs fill out the chasm
drinking in dark shades of blue
shifting winds drift off the boundary
rampant bids the night adieu
changes lurk and often seep
holding litmus ever tighter
lifting hope above the light
crystal snifter's promise linger
soft tip curls of comfort lain
precious hues sifting yellow
warming up unto the pain
wistful songs fill out the chasm
drinking in dark shades of blue
shifting winds drift off the boundary
rampant bids the night adieu

Flowers In The Ocean
Still naked
small speck burning
double clicked attention
wading through the light
free fall fasting
lying half asleep
Vinyl wraps round the beauty
meanders with the breeze
grasping for a sleeping angel
found lost in perfect harmony
Slipping through the window
heading for your seams
breathing curiosity
hidden in your dreams
free falling fast
lying half asleep
Filling up tomorrow
such a pretty being
flowers in the ocean
such a pretty thing
...

Oh My Sun
Tender streams the night
flames a flicker filled delight
fresh a yellow painted rose
held in perfect sweet repose
Oh my sun, my precious sun
your warmth breathes long
hidden 'mongst a subtle guise
filling out a summer's day
Lunar leaps an oval face
stealing rays of saving grace
languid pains a vision lost
heart lie still a tempest tossed
flames a flicker filled delight
fresh a yellow painted rose
held in perfect sweet repose
Oh my sun, my precious sun
your warmth breathes long
hidden 'mongst a subtle guise
filling out a summer's day
Lunar leaps an oval face
stealing rays of saving grace
languid pains a vision lost
heart lie still a tempest tossed

It Is Quiet Now
It is quiet now
-the sun moves up the ridge
Honey crisp scent of freedom
-hovers and engulfs the air
Pangs of pleasure peal
-the primrose bows her head
Yellow paints the morning
-the fields are all a glow
-the sun moves up the ridge
Honey crisp scent of freedom
-hovers and engulfs the air
Pangs of pleasure peal
-the primrose bows her head
Yellow paints the morning

Death Take Me Now
Another drape darkens the spring
La Marseilles still rings in my ear
where love was held at bay
from an Arian way
but is one drape ever enough
to cloak the pain of your loss
From lands of the golden crescent
inject your overripe fruits
into my veins and carry
me up to your side
let me float in euphoria
on an over-extended
governors stay
For when or if I wake
my tomorrows will be few
for without love
another precious angel cries
votre amour est tout ce que j'implore

Exhortation IV
Courtesan rays slip through saffron robes
undaunted countenance persists
past spuriously puffed up wares
burying a man alive
Protect me from this sea
drown out in apprehension
unscrupulously seizing me
Engulf me in a mere chestnut gloss
where the specters lie in wake
loop your thrum against my form
and pleasure you may take
°as the night rests so shall we
and in morning a love will rise
undaunted countenance persists
past spuriously puffed up wares
burying a man alive
Protect me from this sea
drown out in apprehension
unscrupulously seizing me
Engulf me in a mere chestnut gloss
where the specters lie in wake
loop your thrum against my form
and pleasure you may take
°as the night rests so shall we
and in morning a love will rise

Catch Me When I Fall
As I stare to where the sun comes up beauty lies ahead
mixing with the daffodils and
the roses in her bed
I breathe in all her glory
as she fills into my soul
living through her paradise and
all that life bestows
Step in through my window
enter my faded walls
caress my effervescence and
catch me when I fall
mixing with the daffodils and
the roses in her bed
I breathe in all her glory
as she fills into my soul
living through her paradise and
all that life bestows
Step in through my window
enter my faded walls
caress my effervescence and
catch me when I fall

Hey You
Yes ~ You
probing for a smile
hidden in pools of blue
.
sandy brushed a smoothing red
teased on off unto the dew
slanting rays lain to the west
searching deep inside of you
hey you ~ yes you
pursing lips cross crimson glare
looking here and looking there
listen close what pulses bare
night breaks slow and sunsets hover
vision's melt holding one another
probing for a smile
hidden in pools of blue
.
sandy brushed a smoothing red
teased on off unto the dew
slanting rays lain to the west
searching deep inside of you
hey you ~ yes you
pursing lips cross crimson glare
looking here and looking there
listen close what pulses bare
night breaks slow and sunsets hover
vision's melt holding one another
