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
On The Edge
On the edge of darkness you lie not alone
anymore where recurrent chills melt
along with the emptiness of the night
Biggest stars sit at the foot of comfort
gazing towards heightened heartbeats
as a serene calmness fills the air
Sweet innocence surrenders slowly
moving her way nearer tomorrow
and freshness blooms another day
anymore where recurrent chills melt
along with the emptiness of the night
Biggest stars sit at the foot of comfort
gazing towards heightened heartbeats
as a serene calmness fills the air
Sweet innocence surrenders slowly
moving her way nearer tomorrow
and freshness blooms another day

We Are One
My eyes roll back and I feel
with every touch
with every brush
presented I feel
fragments of you
clinging to the fringes
of my aching soul
Caress my best and I, in turn
kiss off the worries
into the breeze
lilac licks draping
the nape of never land
leaning right into me
Time slows to a crawl and
Our moment takes off
Underneath a scarlet gaze tomorrow
Comes alive with the night
Holding on forever more
Timid my tongue slides to the sides
of your radiance and with my heartbeat ...
with every touch
with every brush
presented I feel
fragments of you
clinging to the fringes
of my aching soul
Caress my best and I, in turn
kiss off the worries
into the breeze
lilac licks draping
the nape of never land
leaning right into me
Time slows to a crawl and
Our moment takes off
Underneath a scarlet gaze tomorrow
Comes alive with the night
Holding on forever more
Timid my tongue slides to the sides
of your radiance and with my heartbeat ...

Silk, The Rose
Silk, the rose passed gently along my ache
where long dormant senses wake
every move you make most incredible
as whispered eyes move close to rest
Pain, you have lain too long
through the recesses of my time
Rewind, I have taken back my mind
as fingers glide towards the spine
worn down pages flipped over and
the hunger fades the blues
No sequels written, it is as if ...
satin slides the night
touches wont ignite
where long dormant senses wake
every move you make most incredible
as whispered eyes move close to rest
Pain, you have lain too long
through the recesses of my time
Rewind, I have taken back my mind
as fingers glide towards the spine
worn down pages flipped over and
the hunger fades the blues
No sequels written, it is as if ...
satin slides the night
touches wont ignite

It's You - It's Me
It's you ...
alone in a drenching rain floating
thoughts taking flight a wondrous
sight flowers staking hold stitched
in the fabric of your soul dripping
to the floor where the heavens met
your shore and that look I adore
eyes lost amongst the periwinkle
time stalls but the beads still fall
--where hope stands
--she paints her songs
on charts of stone skipped along
and the ripples remind you of me
It's me ...
hiding behind the sun in a place
I often run...
alone in a drenching rain floating
thoughts taking flight a wondrous
sight flowers staking hold stitched
in the fabric of your soul dripping
to the floor where the heavens met
your shore and that look I adore
eyes lost amongst the periwinkle
time stalls but the beads still fall
--where hope stands
--she paints her songs
on charts of stone skipped along
and the ripples remind you of me
It's me ...
hiding behind the sun in a place
I often run...

Welcome Back
Welcome back to you my misery
played out for all the world to see
bright lights and caricature circling
even buzzards want a piece of me
Shifts shred the tempo shallow troubles
bellow in a chamber broken down below
emptiness echoes from beyond the mouth
with the bass a drown recluse obo hum
Moving with mountains a sound enjoyed
matted brush and worn-out weathered trails
can only guide so far missing the post
birch tree beauty notched and polished
Carry me on home Delilah
as the night...

Left
Left, alone with the heckles I lie
unordinary daydream gone awry
dumped and dented while putrid
painted gardens lost sight me,
just south of nothing this night
Gone, the nerve of ending it all
flash~back hear blackbird's call
writing drips as crimson bleeds
hearts stop to take in the scene
pages tossed in a failing breeze
Left, alone with the heckles I lie
just right of the truth dancing off
yellow tongues of political prose
smelling like a rose, I do suppose
all is known as hatred slowly grows
unordinary daydream gone awry
dumped and dented while putrid
painted gardens lost sight me,
just south of nothing this night
Gone, the nerve of ending it all
flash~back hear blackbird's call
writing drips as crimson bleeds
hearts stop to take in the scene
pages tossed in a failing breeze
Left, alone with the heckles I lie
just right of the truth dancing off
yellow tongues of political prose
smelling like a rose, I do suppose
all is known as hatred slowly grows

Timid Thoughts
Filter through the fortitude
mix together the mundane
cut up, squeezed, then discarded
but not a bit of flavor remains
tepid to the tongue
the words still taste all wrong
rinsing down the memories
they've been sitting out too long
the kettle starts to whistle
timid thoughts begin to run
mix together the mundane
cut up, squeezed, then discarded
but not a bit of flavor remains
tepid to the tongue
the words still taste all wrong
rinsing down the memories
they've been sitting out too long
the kettle starts to whistle
timid thoughts begin to run

Lilac Scents Surface
Lilac scents surface and I'm surrounded
with a pleasant picture tap dancing
upon a weathered soaked oak porch
Bare shoulders showing carefree scars
burnt skin deep seduction lingering
along with a memory of summer love
Roundabout days fast and furious
feelings as the temperature rise
inside secretly hidden drift away eyes
Lilac scents surface in the breeze
and I inhale every hint of you
and my mind rolls back
Flyaway moments held strong
to soon departed gone wrong
with a pleasant picture tap dancing
upon a weathered soaked oak porch
Bare shoulders showing carefree scars
burnt skin deep seduction lingering
along with a memory of summer love
Roundabout days fast and furious
feelings as the temperature rise
inside secretly hidden drift away eyes
Lilac scents surface in the breeze
and I inhale every hint of you
and my mind rolls back
Flyaway moments held strong
to soon departed gone wrong

Like You
Like you ...
I dream of drifting away on a sunny day
high above the cottony stuffed clouds
I'll glide erasing all the hurtful feeling inside
a season of fear will somehow disappear
and I'll be free ...like you... you see
Crazy you say ...
My dream with Prince Charming happy endings
filling out candy corn fields of sugary substance
not slowing down to lick the wounds of old
I'm told too bold to wallow in the worries
that others have laid down at the foot of empty
Like you...
Love dances off the...

Shards Of Blue
Threadbare eyes hold long the night
secrets trip past most scathing blight
dual is the dark last to be unearthed
mirrored the lens a mind disturbed
Hark, the shrills prepare the abyss
left back to carry on a burden amiss
with the wind let the trembles lie
still where cherry blossoms die
Threadbare eyes hold long the night
sense forth dawn and hope of light
where tender tales are told of you
beneath most daunting shards of blue
secrets trip past most scathing blight
dual is the dark last to be unearthed
mirrored the lens a mind disturbed
Hark, the shrills prepare the abyss
left back to carry on a burden amiss
with the wind let the trembles lie
still where cherry blossoms die
Threadbare eyes hold long the night
sense forth dawn and hope of light
where tender tales are told of you
beneath most daunting shards of blue

Aimless Footfalls Wander
Clouds swirl about and
darkness descends
lying her head
amongst the lonely
Beats of the heart fade
and thoughts give way
to a pain stained night
Aimless footfalls wander
hollow halls and angry
floor boards squeak
in tongues of failures
never understood
Cold water splashes
ease the burden
temporarily but an
open window haunts
darkness descends
lying her head
amongst the lonely
Beats of the heart fade
and thoughts give way
to a pain stained night
Aimless footfalls wander
hollow halls and angry
floor boards squeak
in tongues of failures
never understood
Cold water splashes
ease the burden
temporarily but an
open window haunts

Oh Summer
Oh summer what have you done to me
so many flirtatious winks teasingly
undressing me with every wisp of
a welcomed heat filled breath
Oh summer, oh how you melt me
with those gazing sunrise eyes blinking
and those sweet high noon kisses swimming
fogging up another afternoon aviator sky
Oh summer your warm touches caress
and I'm a mess blushing into a golden
bronze affair wondering when you're not there
if you will ever come back again
Oh summer your nights delight with fire ...
so many flirtatious winks teasingly
undressing me with every wisp of
a welcomed heat filled breath
Oh summer, oh how you melt me
with those gazing sunrise eyes blinking
and those sweet high noon kisses swimming
fogging up another afternoon aviator sky
Oh summer your warm touches caress
and I'm a mess blushing into a golden
bronze affair wondering when you're not there
if you will ever come back again
Oh summer your nights delight with fire ...
