POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
The optimist sees the glass as half full. The pessimist, as half empty. The Realist doesn't care, she's off to get the towels to clean up the mess those other two assholes are gonna make when they spill the red wine on her white carpet.
The Home Coming Queen
She checks her face in the mirror
adjusts herself, just so
Her son comes home today
Been away at college, he has
Won't be long now
before he'll have his own
a wife and family
and she'll not have
his comforting presence
home for the holidays
Bringing some friends too, he is
John, such a nice young lad
He'll do well, that one
but that other one?
She frowns....
His name escapes her
the mind does that when we age
Cheeky...

Implantology
I have nothing but disdain
for women who start their day
by putting the screws to the head
of some poor sap or another
Oh, I still do it of course
I just figured out how to get paid for it

Feel Me
I sense and feel
a presence on the page
my font vibrates
with the touch
of those eyes
lines and spaces
tingle
echo hollowness
and once again
I lay naked and exposed to you
open and willing
to be taken inch by inch
slowly and languorously
splay innermost folds
of my mind
tease with fingers deft
and plunge
slick depth
to my hardened core
fill me with your need
and I'll give to you my...

Caliente
We danced salsa and drowned our inhibitions
in tequila and passion
my Spanish limited, his English halting
smiles and bold glances
paved a road that words couldn't
smoldering looks and brazen touch
spoke more clearly than any words ever could
language barrier breached, we spoke in tongues
a universal language
of breathless, wanton, panting whispers and sighs
two hearts in tune to music's fiery tempo
and bodies playing a staccato rythym
to their final crescendo
in tequila and passion
my Spanish limited, his English halting
smiles and bold glances
paved a road that words couldn't
smoldering looks and brazen touch
spoke more clearly than any words ever could
language barrier breached, we spoke in tongues
a universal language
of breathless, wanton, panting whispers and sighs
two hearts in tune to music's fiery tempo
and bodies playing a staccato rythym

Poet, Exposed
Hooded nib exposed
he takes it in hand
under cloak of darkness
Calloused, work-weary fingers
curl intimately
around its smooth girth
He begins the ancient rythym
Slow, hesitant strokes
coaxing, teasing
gently kneading
pleading for sweet release
Strokes grow bolder
gun-fire quick
furious, angry strokes
to wring forth
each spilling seed
Retreat, pace slows
as the last drips out
dreamily
drop by sweet...

Blush
my fingers itch to impart
inky lines upon pale pages
for your pleasure
A wanton need fulfilled when
wrapped metaphors shroud me
in mystery
and veiled intentions wear clever disguises
cloaked in lace imagery
I beg prettily to be peeled back
layer by layer
to expose that hidden and secret
inner core
I blush
I need you
only you can undress me
gently pry apart my lines
...

Temptation
Reach for me now, let me see the desire
gaze into these eyes, brimming with fire
kiss me with passion to tingle my spine
your tongue softly tastes me, sweet scent of wine
Kisses like raindrops, fall on neck and on shoulders
embers ignited, this deep fire yet smolders
wandering fingertips grazing my skin
give me those words and the true flames begin
Cleave to me closely, I need feel that desire
show me you want me, my passion climbs higher
fingertip's pathways now followed by lips
a slow undulation of traitorous hips
...

There
I'll not let on
I carry on composed. stoic
my surface granite encrusted
memories live, breathe, feel
eyes dead hollow
long since drowned in depths of earthy brown
I walk a different ocean's shores
yet those breezes ever carry
the co-mingled and lingering scent of love
Chanel Sensuelle Allure and heady musk
odor settles like cumulus
permeating every pore
infused with every ragged breath
Inhale. I take you in.
you enter and seek solace in my depths

Let It Be
font=Times New Roman][i][font=Tahoma,Geneva]I'm suffering a mid-life crisis
as some of you might guess
my world is just in shambles
and my head is quite a mess
and everywhere that I might go
I'm faced with media shite
to buy their stupid products
and believe their insane hype
are you ready for my ranting?
no, you shall not make me stop
they want my wallet and my mind
they beg for me to shop!
wrinkles are unsightly
we must be smoothed and plumped...

After-Glow
In after-glow, complete, sated,
Rapid heartbeats now abated
Whispered words, touches tender
Two hearts cede in their surrender
Bodies twined in love's embrace
Pleasure mirrored upon each face
Gentle touches, breathing slows
Bask in love's sweet after-glow
Cooling air, on dew wet skin
Scent of love, senses spin
Words of passion, spoken low
Shared between, this after-glow
Rapid heartbeats now abated
Whispered words, touches tender
Two hearts cede in their surrender
Bodies twined in love's embrace
Pleasure mirrored upon each face
Gentle touches, breathing slows
Bask in love's sweet after-glow
Cooling air, on dew wet skin
Scent of love, senses spin
Words of passion, spoken low
Shared between, this after-glow

The Heels?
A simple elevation
not in status
but in stature and in spirit
They restore a long dormant
sway and movement to these idle hips
and rewind my mind
to once again remember
what it felt like to be a woman
Unless of course
you have a better way of reminding me[/i]

Miles Away
you ask where I go
when I get that
far away look in my eyes
and I really have
no answer to give you
I just know
that each time I travel
another mile
comes between us
when I get that
far away look in my eyes
and I really have
no answer to give you
I just know
that each time I travel
another mile
comes between us
