POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write, and think, and paint, and draw, and read, and...
Skeletons out of the closet!
From a very young age
I've always loved skeletons
and I kept all those I found
along the path of this life...
I have no idea why but apparently
they all want to come out of the closet
so suddenly... unexpectedly.
In the next minute, probably!

Inkbrella
Ink becomes our strongest guard
and stories forge our strength
while words shield us from pain.
In every verse a fortress is built
against the storms that life will send.
With every line our souls are filled,
in writing we find a friend.
Our pen, a sword that cuts through dark.
Defends the heart from sorrow's bite.
With ink, we leave a lasting mark,
a beacon in the night.

The misadventures of a lone ranger
A lost man wakes alone,
a relentless mighty knight fighting old soldiers
underneath the broken bridge
of Landscape.
He never thought they could hurt him.
He never foresaw the gang bang coming.
All those men were taking advantage of his body.
Many swords of attack penetrate his back.
He's been able to take them so many times
that I felt the urge to rhyme on it
like my pen is on fire.

All conscious in vegan dream
because nobody
listens to the cabbage scream

Foreplay Haiku
Just come here and play with me
I'll give you an arm
You'll give me the tighter hug
I'll give you an arm
You'll give me the tighter hug

Banshee
Distracted by the mirror
without a shadow of a doubt,
there remains this nestled
and threatening animal,
resident of my rib cage,
tick tock of a time bomb
beating in the folds of eternity.
This beast that inhabits me,
and turns me inside out,
screaming to all the winds
that no longer move any mills.
"The soldiers are at the door, sir!
What do we do now?"
"Scream, captain, scream
until their ears burst."

unexplainable draw
Beneath the surface
there's a blackhole of secrets
where trust was devoured
by the gravity of lies.
A smile, a porcelain mask,
delicate and fragile,
concealing the cracks
of betrayal beneath.
Each word spoken,
an origami fold,
Intricate and beautiful.
Battles within the hearts.
Yet a cuckoo's call
that echoed
as the whirlpool's pull
became too strong to resist.

Inpromptu haiku
Painted thoughts swirl fast
Madness shines with polished gleam
Just insanity

Nevertheless Haiku
In your verses deep
I find pieces of myself
Hearts entwined through ink
I find pieces of myself
Hearts entwined through ink

Pun blossom
In the garden of words
I plant a pun or two
Cultivating humor
with a laugh that's overdue.
I carrot all about you
you make my heart beet
lettuce turnip the fun
don't squash the upbeat.
You’re a-maize-ing.
A real fungi to be with.
Mushroom for love
in our punny myth.
You're the apple of my pie,
the cherry on top.
Together we’re grapeful,
we’re the cream of the crop.
Even when I feel
melon-choly and blue,
I know I've got a friend
who's truly grape and true.

Others' poetry
Isn't it exhilarating
how someone's poetry
can ignite a fire within us?
When their words resonate
so deeply, it's like they unlock
hidden chambers in our own hearts,
revealing emotions and thoughts
we hadn't fully realized were there.
Crafting your own verses
becomes more than just writing
it's a dialogue between your soul and theirs,
a harmonious exchange
across the canvas of creativity.
I've always found
that immersing myself
in powerful poetry
not only inspires me
but...
