POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
My mother wrote poems when she was younger, mostly about love. Later she returned to poetry to express thoughts and desires that she'd squelched over time. She passed the torch to me (her daughter) when she entered treatment.
God, What a Moment
It was... God, what a moment!
It was a moment encased in an eternity of moments.
And so, in fact, my first orgasm was insignificant
To the arc of history. But for me, it was the most meaningful
Moment of my life and the arrival of life’s abundance
And potential for joy.
In truth, every thought, every action,
And yes, every addiction after that moment
Has been an attempt to capture ecstasy and make it last.

First Night
He gazed at his lover with awe,
A body without any flaw.
She was a newborn fawn
With grace now adorned,
Their bodies were deeply enthralled.
For years I had watched her grow sure,
Her skills and her confidence pure.
The boy by her side,
Saw the pride in my eyes,
For my daughter, whose heart was unstirred.
In silence, they lay close together,
Clinging so that no mother could sever.
In the hallway, I stood,
Heard the creaking of wood,
Their whispers as soft as a feather.
Beneath them, a...

Be Wholly
The person you choose to be in this world
Be wholly
The things you choose to give of yourself
Give completely
When you find a man needing love,
Give more than expected
When death calls your name
Follow in peace

The things you choose to give of yourself
Give completely
When you find a man needing love,
Give more than expected

Her Sacred Birthright
While her baby is sleeping, she claims her delight,
To declare her raw lusts, a sacred birthright.
Equal to all, in passion's grand scheme,
She longs to awaken the shadows of dreams.
She gives herself freely so beautifully knit.
In the throes of sweet lusts, she opens her slit.
She dances inside of love’s kind embrace,
Learning to express with no hint of disgrace.
With pleasure, she finds she’s no longer shy,
With the lust of an animal, she lets out a cry.
She mounts the man’s cock with a tender, bold grace,

Becoming Ash
Cremation is my chosen final act.
May I become ash
to nourish the shores
where I was conceived.
In moments of passion,
I envision my flesh ablaze,
a withering torch.
Will my remains still pulse
with unquenched desire?
While I live, my eyes open wide
with longing,
and my arms extend in yearning,
not for rescue
but for embrace.
Yet the flames are too fierce.
My lovers do not hear my cries.
Burning, oh that ultimate,
bittersweet embrace with death.
I will relinquish...

Journal Entry - The Threat
It's hard to believe how quickly a consensual affair can turn into heartache and regret. I should have known better than to get involved with another married man, but in the moment, it felt right. I was caught up in the rush.
Now I re-read Sally's texts. Her words are like daggers. I never meant to hurt anyone. In the steamy fog of too much wine, I just wanted to feel something, anything, that would heal my own emptiness.
Sally's a cop, and I'm... I'm an addict. I’m nothing now. I can't help but wonder what she might do with her anger and her authority. This is the...

I Am Of the Earth
I am of the earth,
nothing beyond.
Being of the earth
has been quite enough.
I began to exist
as the result of the natural urges
of my mother and father.
I was sperm.
I was egg.
And so, I am me for a time.
One among many on this planet,
inconsequential and forgettable.
But for this night,
I’ll surrender to the fleshly concerns
of this short life.
For this night,
I’ll indulge in the sweet pleasure
of physical touch,
tasting the earth
and sharing in its bounty.
This is only...

Give Yourself to Love with thanks to Kate Wolf
Give yourself to love
If love is what you're after
Open up your heart
To the tears and laughter” Kate Wolf
Embrace the joys and pain
If growth is what you seek
Let go of all your fears
Just surrender when you’re weak
Give yourself to love
Trust in the journey's turn
We fall within the spell of lust
And let our spirits burn
When my final breath has come,
And my lusting flesh has ceased.
Scatter my ash across the sands
As all memories find release.

May I Never Wither
All beauty is fleeting!
May I never wither with age,
But die while still filled with life
And its sultry desires.
Gazing down at our union,
I gasp with delight,
Grateful that my journey
Has not yet found its end.
There will be ample time
For solitude in the grave.
Time for worms to savor
My promiscuous remains.
This body, so easily surrendered
To the sweetest of pleasures,
Will, in time, return to dust.
Yet, for a season, I’ll live on
In the cherished memories ...

Journal entry - Please Come Sweet Death
Journal entry for December 17, 2024
The nights bleed into days, a blur of mistakes I can't erase. My veins pulse with the poison I thought was my escape. I've danced with too many shadows, let my body be a temple where many unworthy prayers were whispered.
The faces of my fleeting lovers haunt me. Memories of their entrance at the temple door brought pleasures at such great price. My child, an angel born of my lusts, deserves a life I can no longer give.
I'm staring down the barrel of my mortality as the reaper's whisper grows louder. I've loved fiercely,...

Now, and Not Yet
In the marrow of your bones,
A fire kindles, a yearning grows,
You're young now, with skin that hungers for love,
But you’re still naive of heart.
Now, your flesh asks for the touch of others,
Fingers trace the shadows of a body
Not yet ready to bear the weight of
A man filled with grownup desire for a woman.
Lust unfurls within like a night-blooming flower,
Its scent asks only for a sinless satisfaction,
But you’re not yet the vessel to carry such a storm,
To open yourself to the flood without losing too much. ...

Liquid Joy
There once was a girl with a toy.
She loved the taste of her boy.
With a lick and a kiss,
Some velvety bliss,
She swallowed his hot liquid joy.
