POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I mostly write dark poetry, though like reading all. I prefer to write rhyming poetry but realize just how archaic that is. I do appreciate all forms.
Male Perspective
Toes to face your tongue licks me,
Never missing a spot.
My sweet Dark Queen, in that g-string,
You wake me up so hawt.
Your morning fare, my cock laid bare,
You place tongue to the tip.
While I work folds for all they hold,
To bring forth that first drip.
Always surprised the things you do...
The things Your Brain brings out,
You slide on down the joy you've found ...
Never missing a spot.

Echoes
Who dares to dance the shadows where echoes solemnly stir?
Is not the past a penance, fair, for memories to blur?
The relics of ambition, but a forgone afterthought,
Coming to their fruition prove some things are best forgot.
Thus imbued, duly renewed, why shake your fist at time?
The demon seed, history’s deed, forever-trapped in rhyme.
Where yet the scavengers of hope drink from the well of sorrow,
Never coming to see today as yesterday’s tomorrow…
…Or wake to wander in a dream that outlives such misgiving;
Cries from unburied dead that seem yet...

Beauty and the Beast
A step miscast from decades past—
A shadow on Night's wall.
A soulless being, ever unseeing,
Lingers down the hall.
Corridors of gloom where nothing looms,
He's danced them all before.
His deemed-fair prize: But lifeless eyes
'Twixt here and evermore.
Where reverie, nor devilry
Will relinquish the dead
...From 'pon the seas of memory
That echo through his head.
...From pain, regret, and life beset;
Complete with glimpse of dream—
That smile he tossed unto the lost
Menagerie of scream.

The Search
Oh, Love, where dost thou spirit dwell?
In the misty roar of a sea shell?
In a shadowed forest's docile trees?
In lonely hearts ridden with disease?
Within a golden grail or braided strand
Of knowledge I can't understand?
Oh, Love, dost thou lie in my heart,
Seeking to tear my world apart?
For I've searched the oceans far and wide,
To every corner I, myself, might hide.
I've searched the desert's burning sands,
I've searched the lines of my own hands.
I've searched islands, I've searched mountains,
Buried streams and blissful...

Dreamer ' Eye
Should I extend my vision across the cirrus sky?
A fossil of Forever caught within a dreamer’s eye.
Might some think it derision, in lieu of such a scene?
(Or just strange alchemy of thought to flounder in-between
A wheel chair and rocking chair); when nowhere else on earth
Can I see clearly all what Time’s given measure is worth.
No, looking down to palms laid bare, I’ll beg a martyr’s pass;
To, by some Piper’s heedless rhymes, take leave for greener grass.
In sudden admiration, perhaps in sudden fear,
As...

Paradise
The razor cuts my heart.
The coldness shuts my eyes.
And silence is all I hear,
As winds of change arise.
'Live my life while total darkness
Holds me deep in its throes.
'Live my life the vision of a man
That no one really knows.
They see a painted picture,
Think they can peel the guise.
But they could never understand
What goes on behind these eyes.
For I see a world of many,
And I see a world of few.
But I couldn't love just anyone,
I had to love just you.
So as I walk the future,
And the past adieu;
Most...

Enough
S'posed to be my forever,
How'd it ever come to this?
I try so hard to make it right,
Dying without your kiss.
And I thought we would never
Have such hurtful things to say.
Now every talk turns to a fight...
Every fight, a wasted day.
But I love you enough to walk away.
Never dreamt I could hurt you,
Now it's all I seem to do.
I try so hard to make you smile,
Do you even want to?
The gate open, we've done walked through...
No going back I know.
Look away, take up...

Angel Petite
Angel petite, sweet and replete,
Lying back, looking sated...
Your legs still spread, there on the bed
Where we were consummated.
Your touch, your face, your well of grace
That I keep bringing to spill.
Tight spot beneath... your neck, my teeth!
You softly pleading, "I will."
The arch of back, nails painted black
Digging sharp into my skin.
Those nipples, pert... the fuk! the hurt!
How you love wearing my skin!
A buck fifteen, my darkened queen,
I dream...
Lying back, looking sated...
Your legs still spread, there on the bed
Where we were consummated.

Digging sharp into my skin.

The Price
If I have gleaned one thing from life,
Well, nothing good comes without price.
Forever, the twist of a knife.
Your will to love, the sacrifice.
What is it that yet draws us close?
Is it not more than primal need?
These feelings, bitter and morose,
Far outlast pleasures of the deed.
When looking back at what you’ve sold,
If all in the name of a touch;
The only thing you feel is cold
To think you needed it that much.
If one could only disappear,
Could they, perhaps, this cost evade?
Not with eternity the tear
Cried for a...

Shadow of a Lie
So how are we to do this—? Turn this day unto the past?
When it feels sealed by fate’s kiss, and the wounds are still so vast.
Gave absolute trust to you, you handed me back torn shreds.
Once you know you’ve been lied to the anxiety just spreads.
Caught somewhere in the tangles of truest love and shattered trust,
The uncertainty mangles all till all you’ve left is dust…
My heart is so forgiving, I wish you would not deny;
For I can’t go on living in the shadow of a lie.
Done once unchecked, it comes again’ I won’t live in that fear.
Though never...

Whenever Woman
Said you were my forever woman,
Yet you were their "whenever" woman.
Gave me pictures of love and trust.
Gave them your insatiable lust.
A "semi-close2maybe" there,
And I couldn't find you anywhere.
Oh, it broke me across the miles,
To learn that I was not your smiles.
The endearments we used to share,
The "kisses there... and there... and there!"
Like candy, shared with everyone.
There were no limits to your "fun."
In heated moments you would pant ,
And gush for them all, need on tap . ...

Emptiness
I’m not sure I was ever born,
As I look to a palm, full of thorn—
Recall each flower, how it wilted
In the presence of something so jilted.
No, it seems I always have been,
(That insatiable hunger within);
Watching each infernal second slip by me,
Knowing not even Death could satisfy me.
I'm the darkness that soaks up light,
Leaving all lost to eternal night.
I'm the shadow that falls on each face
'Fore it disappears without trace.
Yeah, something inside me is broken.
You feel it, without a word spoken;
And yet try to...
