POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
An inner passion drives me to the pen, not something that I sought, or thought was mine; and it was very late in my life when I found my joy in meter and in rhyme!
Time Traveller
You travel both the future and the past,
time is just another road you drive.
Although I’ve seen your beauty, unsurpassed,
I’m trapped here, in my present, so deprived!
The times that I have gazed upon your face-
mere moments in your life, but not for me!
…long seasons! But my love is not displaced,
though I have been denied time travel’s key!
This visit, won’t you stay with me awhile?
My time with you is prized above all else!
I’ve waited so long just to see you smile,
and when you leave, my hopes and dreams will melt!
My love for...
time is just another road you drive.
Although I’ve seen your beauty, unsurpassed,
I’m trapped here, in my present, so deprived!
The times that I have gazed upon your face-
mere moments in your life, but not for me!
…long seasons! But my love is not displaced,
though I have been denied time travel’s key!
This visit, won’t you stay with me awhile?
My time with you is prized above all else!
I’ve waited so long just to see you smile,
and when you leave, my hopes and dreams will melt!
My love for...

Under Irish Sky
To lie in barley under Irish sky
As Herb Moon shone upon your naked form
My heart was captured by your Irish eyes
In peace before our passion’s gathering storm
That night, my love, we quietly embraced
And cultivated tenderness of touch
A lifetime’s magic in that time and place
Against which all loves since must not be judged!
My wish, to see that moon again with you
Without the cares that life has since imposed
In hindsight all my future I’d eschew
And stay with you forever, unopposed
A fool I was, to ever say goodbye
To you,...

In the Deep
He wrote, “I am the captain of my soul!”
But Henley steered a much more noble helm!
The schooner that I steer tacks near sheol
My soul has foundered in this murky realm!
Most fearful dreams appear here in the deep
Where, undisturbed, malignant spirits lie
The secrets of the sea, forever sleep
Unseen, except by lost and damn’ed eyes
My fate was bought and sealed so long ago
And naught can change it now, unless by chance
My soul, by favored winds who deign to blow
Reprieve my way, may lift my circumstance!
Once overwhelmed by doubt and...

Transmundane
I laugh, and dance throughout the atmosphere,
A spirit borne by light, and wind, and cloud!
I sing a song that men shall never hear,
performing for the universe, uncowed!
No form is fit to house the transmundane,
my essence is pure joy of life itself.
A fickle sprite, I'm innocently vain,
I fear no poverty, or covet wealth!
This game, called love, that earth-bound mortals play
seems such a waste of time and energy!
Their lives so short, then ending in decay,
a stunning contrast to my reverie!
This...

Ink and Semen
I always start writing with a clean piece of paper and a dirty mind.”
—Patrick Dennis
An inner passion drives me to the pen,
not something that I sought, or thought was mine;
and it was very late in my life when
I found my joy in meter and in rhyme!
My fascination with this art form grew
because it wholly stimulates my mind.
It’s not an intellectual pursuit;
but, more! …a carnal embrace, unconfined!
My writing does not oust my masturbation,
the limit set by aged and worn prostate;
when lack of semen limits fornication, ...
