POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
My poetry tends to be messy and out of the blue. Some are personal experiences, others are just experimentation.

Tea Garden
Tea Garden
This garden is my favorite place,
Since wind, sun and moonlight
Softly stroke my face.
I’m surrounded by flowers, herbs and all
It’s a sunny day
No way will rain fall.
Come sit with me
Have a warm cup of tea
This is nothing like Alice in Wonderland
But it sure beats being
In a desert covered with sand.
Now don’t be scared
Nature here isn’t wild
Cookies are being prepared
May your troubles grow mild.

Nature here isn’t wild
Cookies are being prepared

Somber Wings
Somber Wings
“Look there is the misfit”
Fingers pointing, people mocking
She minds not
She doesn´t blame them either.
“Do you ever talk?”
She nods but remains silent
So many misconceptions
Still she doesn´t clarify.
“Do ever feel sympathy for human kind?”
Of course she does
But she won´t reply.
If people paid more attention
They´d notice the little black feathers
Scattered around her.

Something Nefarious
Anger repressed so long
“Let go” You said with ease
But I know it can all go oh so wrong.
I stared into my crazed reflection
“Maybe it’s not a bad idea”
Besides I’m shattered beyond perfection.
My inner malevolence grins
“Tonight we shall rise”
And flee into the world of undefined sins.
Yet the softer side came to play
“Please reconsider your actions”
The world is rotten… I shall no longer stay.
Might as well exit with prime
“Farewell innocence… I thank you”
That was her cue… Her last and final crime.

Lunacy Unconquered
Lunacy Unconquered
My presence has been dateless,
Technology “approaches” my age yet science can be witless
My eyes have seen it all, even that unknown by man
Humanity, outsmart me?
No can do, for I rely on countless grains of sand.
Who am I you demand?
I go attached to Earth, like a couple hand in hand
You’d know better if you looked at the infinite dark sky
Then you’ll comprehend why I’m the all Seeing Eye.
I’m harsh, cold and not meant to be your home
Why should I allow my surface to be at your mercy?
Don’t you have your own place...

Nocturnal Spark
Nocturnal Spark
While humanity lies in bed,
I can’t seem to fall asleep;
I’d much prefer looking
Out the window instead.
The real view isn’t pretty
But if I look beyond the concrete
My whimsical mind can turn quite witty.
Clouds brushed by moonlight,
Underneath countless fields of
Untamed nature
Oh my what phenomenal a sight.
Barefoot and careless,
I embark to an imaginary journey,
Far away from the daytime stress.
Multicolored sunrise is in display,
I slowly drift back into my dreams
As the darkness...

A cat's point of view
A cat’s point of View
What a delight!
My day consists of
Sleeping, purring;
Eating, pouncing and looking cute.
“Who ate the lavender?”
Oh oh I better look elsewhere.
“What happened to my wool jacket?”
Hey guess what?
It’s time to look cute.
“Why are you scratching that?”
Why not?
“Get along you two”
Awww, do we have to?
“Stay away from the bird cage”
Thank you, binoculars.
“Why are you sleeping on my pillow of all places?”
Because it’s nice and warm, like me.
“Why are you waking me at...

Reticent Anticipation
Reticent Anticipation
Recluse statement and restraint heart
I always assumed your rejection
Right from the start.
Persistent and concerned
Showing all signs of vulnerability
So exposed and open
Living in this paranoid insanity.
I get no reaction
From said man
For the sake of my aching heart
I keep quiet and nothing happens
Neither of us gives indication of action.
I’m dreadfully anxious
What about you?
Are you just like me
Aware yet nevertheless cautious?
We’ve created a state of mind
No one moves...

Spellbound Delicacy (Part 1)
Spellbound Delicacy
Every night she’d haunt his dreams
He would toss, sweat and turn
His mornings were universally stiff.
Curves all around he claimed
Her eyes gazed his soul
He felt insipid beneath her scrutiny.
Her face pristine and feminine
Silk tresses and soft lips
Sunflower… The solitary remnant left behind
He wanted to see her again
She wasn’t a simple human
She was his spellbound delicacy.
Every night she’d haunt his dreams

La femme ermite
La femme ermitte
She concealed her feelings
Her accustomed habit
All to protect her tenuous heart.
All those parapets ready to refuge
Aiming to catch her from falling
This is why she roams alone.
Whenever she is approached
She tells the man to go
She’ll forfeit him endless distress.
Deep down she craves
For soft whispers and caresses
But she will avoid it blindly.
She concealed her feelings
Her accustomed habit
All to protect her tenuous heart.
All those parapets ready to refuge
Aiming to catch her from falling
This is why she roams alone.
Whenever she is approached
She tells the man to go
She’ll forfeit him endless distress.
Deep down she craves
For soft whispers and caresses
But she will avoid it blindly.

The Modest Ranconteur
The Modest Raconteur
She was humbled by their praise
A great story teller she was
She never failed to amaze.
She would tell stories about a cookie
Other times when the moon was full
She would tell stories that were spooky.
She talked with funny voices
And most of the time
She would make amazing noises.
She did not do this for money
No way would she drop so low
Her goal: to make someone’s day a bit sunny
She was humbled by their praise
A great story teller she was
She never failed to amaze.
She would tell stories about a cookie
Other times when the moon was full
She would tell stories that were spooky.
She talked with funny voices
And most of the time
She would make amazing noises.

Trendy Innocence
Trendy Innocence
They said it was the latest fashion
It’s a new trend an innovative must
If she refused she’d be a loser for life.
She was a lost teen
She wanted to belong
She needed to be the spotlight.
So blinded by it all
She rejects her former peers
Saying they are not cool.
Party, alcohol and sex
Oh you foolish darling
You won’t go far.
One nightstand evolved
To nine months of discrimination
She rushed and now regrets it.

Flashing Back
Flashing Back
I recall back to when life was simple and cute,
When emotions exploded and
Thoughts weren’t mute.
Back to when ignorance was bliss,
Lying in the grass,
Until night came just to
Sleep under the moonlight’s kiss.
Ahh those were the days of glory,
We were oblivious to
Politics, religions and
Wars slowly becoming
Too prolonged and much too gory.
We were too awesome to care,
Yet one word from Mom and Dad
And we’d all run in scared.
“Stupid kids and their rebellious ways”
How we enjoyed...
