POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I've written for many years now. On and off. To the level of one who does write on and off. I always come back to this wonderful art form. Here, to grow, share and enjoy the artistry of others.

It Must Be
How do my hours go, within a flash?
How are victories before you, merely a dash?
It must be your voice, that carries me away, on your dream....
Your blinding smile, that doubles as my sun beam.....
How does a second suffocate me, in finding you're not there?
How is it, that you're a minute, a moment & my air?
It must be that my lungs, are in your devine clutches....
That my very existence, relies alone, on your indelible touches.
How are victories before you, merely a dash?
It must be your voice, that carries me away, on your dream....
Your blinding smile, that doubles as my sun beam.....
How does a second suffocate me, in finding you're not there?
How is it, that you're a minute, a moment & my air?
It must be that my lungs, are in your devine clutches....
That my very existence, relies alone, on your indelible touches.

6:31 a.m.
You're my sun rise.
My 6:31 am.
You're my open eyes.
Not just a single minute, but you're every one of them.
You are my day break.
The coffee, in my cup.
You're my, "I'm glad I'm awake".
The reason, that I get up.
You're my rising prayer.
The Who, I'm thankful for.
You're my blanket's warmest layer.
You're the everything after, when there was nothing before.
My 6:31 am.
You're my open eyes.
Not just a single minute, but you're every one of them.
You are my day break.
The coffee, in my cup.
You're my, "I'm glad I'm awake".
The reason, that I get up.
You're my rising prayer.
The Who, I'm thankful for.
You're my blanket's warmest layer.
You're the everything after, when there was nothing before.

Nothing More To Say To You
Sometimes, I talk too much.
I did that once, & then we lost touch .
Sometimes, it's what we say,
That gets in the way.
I'm trying to do better,
Not put all my efforts into a letter.
I have nothing more to say to you,
Than I love you, I love you.
Sometimes, I'm a fool,
Holding you to some made up rule.
Sometimes silence, says it all.
Not always a reason, for me to call.
Though trying too hard,
I guess, has always been my calling card.
I have nothing more to say to you, ...
I did that once, & then we lost touch .
Sometimes, it's what we say,
That gets in the way.
I'm trying to do better,
Not put all my efforts into a letter.
I have nothing more to say to you,
Than I love you, I love you.
Sometimes, I'm a fool,
Holding you to some made up rule.
Sometimes silence, says it all.
Not always a reason, for me to call.
Though trying too hard,
I guess, has always been my calling card.
I have nothing more to say to you, ...

Maybe In Heaven
I never held your hand, in our storied romance.
Life took you away, before I had that chance.
Maybe in the year 2057.
If not then, then maybe in Heaven.
I never got to kiss, & wish you good night;
Or watched God above you, be your guiding light.
Maybe at once, The Lord's will, & every clock strikes at 7.
If not then, then maybe in Heaven.
I never really made your heart, my own.
Rather nursed my broken one, on nights alone.
Maybe on an appointed day, God will hear my prayer, Micah 7:7.
If not then, then maybe...

My First Love
The one who cared to any degree.
The one to set my burden free.
You were the first, to show myself to me.
My first love, you will always be.
All the water, may vanish from the sea.
The rain, & clouds may no longer agree.
Father time, might leave Mother Nature, absentee.
But my first love, you will always be.
Our paths forward, might disagree.
Past circumstances, we couldn't foresee.
One thing though, I guarantee,
My first love, you will always be.
The one to set my burden free.
You were the first, to show myself to me.
My first love, you will always be.
All the water, may vanish from the sea.
The rain, & clouds may no longer agree.
Father time, might leave Mother Nature, absentee.
But my first love, you will always be.
Our paths forward, might disagree.
Past circumstances, we couldn't foresee.
One thing though, I guarantee,
My first love, you will always be.

i Had Forgotten
I had forgotten, how imperfect I could be around you.
How frail, & broken I could be.
I had forgotten, how you'd raise those flawed pieces, & simply say that it was ok.
Not that I was right, or wrong.
But you reassured, me, I was ok.
Sometimes, some of us, are in terrible need of that reminder.
How frail, & broken I could be.

Rekindling
Time drifts quickly,
Issuing desperation into the void.
A besom's stirring memory,
Ascends to the fore.
Reflection, stokes a flame,
That sparked long ago.
Yours, is a prod, that could ignite;
A flicker, that might engulf, into burning.
Do you recall?
Or is it mere imagination,
What almost was?
It's something I relive,
When warm winds, only arouse memories.
Memories, that invoke you,
& that cause me to think about rekindling, an old ember.
Issuing desperation into the void.
A besom's stirring memory,
Ascends to the fore.
Reflection, stokes a flame,
That sparked long ago.
Yours, is a prod, that could ignite;
A flicker, that might engulf, into burning.
Do you recall?
Or is it mere imagination,
What almost was?
It's something I relive,
When warm winds, only arouse memories.
Memories, that invoke you,
& that cause me to think about rekindling, an old ember.

Burned
Reaching up, getting burned.
Blisters boaster, letdown;
Though really, more is earned.
No greater a gain,
The employs of pain,
When one's love is spurned.
Armed then, with sage advice.
And a stronger constitution.
He carries with him, a new device;
All at once, to where he'd been,
Climbing up, where the air is thin.
His sole intent, that he, not be burned twice.
Blisters boaster, letdown;
Though really, more is earned.
No greater a gain,
The employs of pain,
When one's love is spurned.
Armed then, with sage advice.
And a stronger constitution.
He carries with him, a new device;
All at once, to where he'd been,
Climbing up, where the air is thin.
His sole intent, that he, not be burned twice.

Envy The Sun (To Of Envied The Sun)
The only thing foreign to me, is the language.
But we do well with a few phrases, & a smile.
I think you're beautiful.
The sun has done more than kiss you.
You've been held close, in it's embrace...........
Is it a sin, to of envied the sun?
But we do well with a few phrases, & a smile.
I think you're beautiful.
The sun has done more than kiss you.
You've been held close, in it's embrace...........
Is it a sin, to of envied the sun?

An Ache
An ache that agonizes.
An ache that keeps me awake.
She fills me, with vibrant colors.
She draws me in.
She loved me first.
I didn't know.
She came to meet me.
I didn't show.
Uncertainty defines, she, & I. Or her & me.
I think too much about her.
What is there, outside of her?
So many things!
She's exciting
My world is black with her.
Black scribbles found all around me.
An ache that keeps me awake.
She fills me, with vibrant colors.
She draws me in.
She loved me first.
I didn't know.
She came to meet me.
I didn't show.
Uncertainty defines, she, & I. Or her & me.
I think too much about her.
What is there, outside of her?
So many things!
She's exciting
My world is black with her.
Black scribbles found all around me.

Cascading Cream
Cascading cream sits at the center of your vanilla spine.
My view, reminiscent of those, atop snow capped alpines.
Sweat falls, like raindrops, at the small of your back;
Riding, & sliding, gliding into black.
Our swaying shifts to a much slower cadence.
Leaving me to bask, in all your subdued radiance.
Now, slowly comes, the squeezing & easing out of.
So pleasing though the teasing, & being immersed, so deep inside your love.
The leftovers melt, onto us, like drift, after the snow.
So hard holding on, but even...
My view, reminiscent of those, atop snow capped alpines.
Sweat falls, like raindrops, at the small of your back;
Riding, & sliding, gliding into black.
Our swaying shifts to a much slower cadence.
Leaving me to bask, in all your subdued radiance.
Now, slowly comes, the squeezing & easing out of.
So pleasing though the teasing, & being immersed, so deep inside your love.
The leftovers melt, onto us, like drift, after the snow.
So hard holding on, but even...

Night In El Salvador
I asked her to speak to me, in Spanish,
She said, "te deseo".
I said, "it's getting late",
"So don't translate"
Just kiss me, but in Spanish.
Take me to El Salvador, with your lips.
Tonight, let's visit your Divine Savior of The World, & make love, while the lights spin around us.
Take me to your Cathedral, and let's look at The Cupola together, while I stare at you in awe.
Let's stroll your Plazas, hand & hand, beneath the statues, that turn the night to gold.
Let's go to La...
