POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Published author of erotic short fiction and poetry, much of which focuses on aspects of BDSM.
Silenced Voice
I try to speak out but am locked in silence
Words are stone, offering no compliance
What once flowed out with seeming ease
now seems completely, totally, lost to me
The empty page once made me brave
able to express every yearning I craved
Now its blankness leaves me cold and hollow
no longer a refuge in which I can wallow
I’ve searched for my voice again and again
could not find a single word with which to begin
I’ve fumbled about, trying hard not to care
that no longer my heart am I able to bear
If I knew why, perhaps it could be...

Embracing the Darkness
I’ll shut my eyes and hold in my breath
wait patiently for approaching death
slip beneath the surface and into the calm
as I whisper silently a remembered psalm
and let the darkness that lives in me
take me to where it wants me to be
so much turmoil I’ve so long endured
so many shed tears that my eyes have blurred
down my cheeks they run in streams
as slowly this nightmare kills my dreams
what’s the point? what’s the use?
there is no peace; there is no truce
so I’ll let it all go at long last
let go of my future, give into my past
I...

Acceptance
She stumbles blindly down a long black hall
Her entire world covered in shadowy pall
Faintly lighting her path is a slim sliver of faith
The thing she’s clung to despite anxiety’s wraith
Yet her heart begins filling with dark despair
As she looks but cannot find him anywhere
He must be here; he wouldn’t leave
Surely he knows it’s to him that she cleaves
Everywhere reminders of him she sees
But her panic refuses to be appeased
She struggles resolutely to hold back tears
Admonishing herself to ignore her fears
So both brave and scared she advances...

the drop
i feel like i’m dropping away again
despair pulling me into the dark
i feel like i’m floating in an ocean of fear
and my doubt refuses to disembark
i remind myself to give up the thoughts
stubbornly clinging to my mind
i remind myself this is ridiculous
but to my fear i’ve become resigned
i have no reason to question Him
still i seem to do just that
i have no ability to adjust my outlook
all my efforts seem to just fall flat
i wish i could cease this sorrow
snap my fingers and lose this pain
i wish i could think of...

Tumbling Into The Darkness
I hear it calling again, that voice from the dark
I resist but I know down that trail I’ll embark
Try as I might to set myself straight
I always seem to swallow the bait
I never ignore that sweet siren song
Telling me everything I’ve gotten wrong
So I question, I wonder, I doubt, and I fear
As my mind whispers dismal thoughts in my ear
Alarm bells start ringing to warn me away
“Do not fall down that hole!” they seem to say
But I’ve never listened even when I should
Today I don’t think that I even could
A desolate place...

Feeding The Monster
The monster struggles fiercely to break free
Longing to wreak havoc and inflict misery
By darkness and depravity its soul is stained
This demon must never be let out unrestrained
Daddy locks it away and holds it in check
Keeps it controlled lest her body it wreck
He promised she’ll never face it without Him
He’d never leave her alone to suffer its whims
He knows the power of this beast he fights every day
Tenaciously determined that it won’t have its way
Even though together the two are forever entwined
His love for her protects...

Poly Light and Dark
When you have to watch the one you love
wondering if she was wrong to trust
This is when poly is hard
When you have to watch the one you love
questioning his ability and worthiness
This is when poly is hard
When you wish you could to make it all better
but there is nothing you can do for her
This is when poly is hard
When you wish you could make it all better
but you know he has to do that for himself
This is when poly is hard
When you act angry with each other
even though you’re angry with other people
This is...

Not Until You Called Me "little one"
i never needed a Daddy
to hold my hand gently in His
to tuck me into bed
to kiss my forehead tenderly
not until You
called me “little one”
i never needed a Daddy
who needed to shelter me from bad things
who longed to care for me when i can’t
who would protect me from myself
not until You
called me “little one”
i never needed a Daddy
to hold me in His lap and stroke my hair
to admire pretty pictures i colored for Him
to tell me He loved me and missed me bunches
not until You
called me “little one”

I Still Believe
If you seek love
You will only grasp its shadow
If you force love
You will watch as it runs from you
If you neglect love
You will feel it slip through your fingers
If you abuse love
You will transform it into fear and bitterness
If you give up on love
You will never recognize its face
If you are open to love
It will find you
If you nurture love
It will build you up
If you trust love
It will reward you
If you grow love
It will blossom and thrive
If you give love time
Is will give you immeasurable joy
...
