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
Savoring
Plush puffs of sincerity rest
flush to the king of hearts
bleeding feeding
on oxygen blown free
eternal fires of destiny
where cinnamon wafts of excitement
pour out percolated with precision
slowly whistling for another spot
swirling rhythmically in an never
ending caramel cup
Savoring every last drop
flush to the king of hearts
bleeding feeding
on oxygen blown free
eternal fires of destiny
where cinnamon wafts of excitement
pour out percolated with precision
slowly whistling for another spot
swirling rhythmically in an never
ending caramel cup
Savoring every last drop

Rest No More
Storm after storm I've hidden
closing my eyes to the pain
saving my chest from the hardship
knowing there's nothing left to gain
But there you go again
moving to the rythmn of her sea
wave after wave you go pressing
deep into the rapture of me
Rest no more my dying ruin
sail on off to much brighter sun
ripple the beat of a thousand hearts
for in your waters I've come undone
closing my eyes to the pain
saving my chest from the hardship
knowing there's nothing left to gain
But there you go again
moving to the rythmn of her sea
wave after wave you go pressing
deep into the rapture of me
Rest no more my dying ruin
sail on off to much brighter sun
ripple the beat of a thousand hearts
for in your waters I've come undone

Flutter My Butterfly
When I close my eyes you come crawling
stirring up my soul
diving in my dreams
delving thru my seams
Flutter my butterfly with vestigial wings
let me chase after you
where the catail do sing
Fly over hilltops seduced by the sea
slip off to the sunshine
and visions of me
Enter my pasture where waters run deep
place your wings upon my shoulders
and let yesterday's sleep
stirring up my soul
diving in my dreams
delving thru my seams
Flutter my butterfly with vestigial wings
let me chase after you
where the catail do sing
Fly over hilltops seduced by the sea
slip off to the sunshine
and visions of me
Enter my pasture where waters run deep
place your wings upon my shoulders
and let yesterday's sleep

Beauty Of You
Engaged in the beauty of you
a lilac scent of splendor sent
drowning my every thought
in the ripples of your rush
Float deep into my western sky
grab hold of this fluid destiny
and smother my spirit with your
demure simplicity and innocence
Laisse mes lèvres sur ton cœur
a lilac scent of splendor sent
drowning my every thought
in the ripples of your rush
Float deep into my western sky
grab hold of this fluid destiny
and smother my spirit with your
demure simplicity and innocence
Laisse mes lèvres sur ton cœur

Always
Aesculus hides a sprig of buckeye
longing another lemongrass scene
secluded off in rainy day kisses
washing against the grainy rocks
... of me
A sorrel drenched in vinaigrette
tossed and served cold
Warm weather wishes woven
tied up and hidden with the riches
sparking chestnut driven dreams
Restless amidst arms of ardor
cerulean wisps parasol freely
into secluded sunset horizons
falling slowly into me
A honeydew sculpture of rare succulence
dripping down and living...

Submerged In Thought
Submerged in thought, my mind flows.
I'm a majestic river
with all it's curves and bends
running over rocks 'round obstructions
gathering strength and speed.
Above I catch a glimpse of the sun
shimmering off the eye of young cygnet
so white and pure without commitment
calm, loving and carefree
looking to soak up all my nutrients.
to be young once again
with a new chance at love
no fear of what lies beneath the surface
Making memories forgetting fantasies.
Here I sit lost in thought
about...

Pills Pushed To The Front
Smoky and scarred
pills pushed to front
a poker or blunt
raised through the ruins
will be leaving here soon
open the chest
where living's a soul
burnt out by black coal
sifting the diamonds
sure is no chore
sparkling rich waters
just pick the right drawer
curled up in the corner
vague flickers ignite
words are repeated
teaching soft light
fill up the foundry
where emptiness lies
a need to a burning
seen in innocent eyes
pills pushed to front
a poker or blunt
raised through the ruins
will be leaving here soon
open the chest
where living's a soul
burnt out by black coal
sifting the diamonds
sure is no chore
sparkling rich waters
just pick the right drawer
curled up in the corner
vague flickers ignite
words are repeated
teaching soft light
fill up the foundry
where emptiness lies
a need to a burning
seen in innocent eyes

Delicate Rose
Tones of softness fill
the morning watch unfurled
passion scriptures sting still
throbbing to be read again
petrichor wanders free after
quenching the fires of Earth
Breathe in these sacred gifts of life
mounted to my soul
swim in these tears of pain
for they only carry hope
drop down on your knees beside me
where eyes meet marrow's bend
Fill me with your solemn songs
enriched with a patient repose
cast me with your air's afloat
as I inhale you, my delicate rose
the morning watch unfurled
passion scriptures sting still
throbbing to be read again
petrichor wanders free after
quenching the fires of Earth
Breathe in these sacred gifts of life
mounted to my soul
swim in these tears of pain
for they only carry hope
drop down on your knees beside me
where eyes meet marrow's bend
Fill me with your solemn songs
enriched with a patient repose
cast me with your air's afloat
as I inhale you, my delicate rose

Chestnut Fires
Sashay then away
dangling mane burning
under a chestnut gaze
Fire filters a scented breeze
trotted off to the east
summer slips a gown of gold
churning amorous waves in need
Hush now this night
held sighs abreast
soothe my blushes rouge
that breathe
Lie down my faith
where last rushes flow
amidst a pledge bestowed
dangling mane burning
under a chestnut gaze
Fire filters a scented breeze
trotted off to the east
summer slips a gown of gold
churning amorous waves in need
Hush now this night
held sighs abreast
soothe my blushes rouge
that breathe
Lie down my faith
where last rushes flow
amidst a pledge bestowed

Night Of The Dance
Aime-moi plus que le désir
Plied fingers cross flaming lips
satin sheets tangle amid long chords
moans echo well past our time
notes slow but solemnly still tap in key
Entranced the night of the dance
hunger quenched in moonlit song
fires stoked where whispers spoke
and tender heartstrings play along
Listen, a new day comes alone
patterns lain out on her own
the bluebird sings of tethered hope
from feelings that you've shown
Alive, captured now my sun
caresses fade the black
fill the air with...

He
The cockcrow spins
dreams drifting into reality
and the scratches still sting
Alone my thoughts my heart
beat to a sombre drum
and the imagination runs
Close again my eyes
halt the drowning sea
float over my swollen head
Words painted often call
the tree branch holds your name
whispers blown away
dreams drifting into reality
and the scratches still sting
Alone my thoughts my heart
beat to a sombre drum
and the imagination runs
Close again my eyes
halt the drowning sea
float over my swollen head
Words painted often call
the tree branch holds your name
whispers blown away

Breathless Sun
The boughs have all but broken
winds drift silently searching
streams rising out of a desert
cradling close what's left of me
Temporarily the pause stings
missing moments meant to hold
off fears gorgeous set me free
whisper secrets meant to be
Comfort stage your place on the X
and the O's of heartstrings playing on
palpitating the pulse felt deep inside
rewinding endless soulful sounds of love
Curl with me the corner of your lips
kiss me in the cycle of your dreams ...
winds drift silently searching
streams rising out of a desert
cradling close what's left of me
Temporarily the pause stings
missing moments meant to hold
off fears gorgeous set me free
whisper secrets meant to be
Comfort stage your place on the X
and the O's of heartstrings playing on
palpitating the pulse felt deep inside
rewinding endless soulful sounds of love
Curl with me the corner of your lips
kiss me in the cycle of your dreams ...
