POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Most of these things come out of nowhere. Like a word, a phrase, scent or even an old song or tv, movie... don’t forget “life events”... Some are to people no longer in my life. Muses, too.

Where has all the carbon gone
Long time spewing
Where has all the carbon gone
short term storage
Where have all the carbons gone
When humans burned the fossil fuels
When will they ever learn?
When will we ever learn?
Where have all the humans gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the humans gone?
Long time ago
Where have the humans gone?
Bought new cars every one
When will humans learn?
When will we ever learn?

Blooms
Captive blooms in ceramic prisons
Shattered stems in cold glass embrace
Momentary beauty that fades with each sunrise
Flowers die when they’re torn from their place
Shattered stems in cold glass embrace
Momentary beauty that fades with each sunrise
Flowers die when they’re torn from their place

Arctic Vortex
Gulf Stream pushed by
Polar cold down into dixieland
ice giants rome empty land and
lie in wait in urban canyons
feasting on the unprotected and
homeless alike
Why
Why stay here
Fear
Why go forward
Fear
Where ever i am
Is everywhere you are not
Internet is
Not a safety net
Smoke Screen ©️
Oil fields a flame
Deprecating the value
Of my sports auto

Throw the pieces

Fusing
Hearts pounding
Ears drumming im-
Pulse taking control
Of brains and bodies
Wanting
Craving
Hungry
Taking possession
Blowing minds as
Bodies fuse again

Pulse taking control
Of brains and bodies
Wanting

Taking possession

Pre-existing Condition
Time speeds by
life is gone
What is left when all is spent
Nothing—
Birth, the first sign of death
We live only to die
life is gone
What is left when all is spent
Nothing—
Birth, the first sign of death
We live only to die

Stars are sunshine we see but not feel.
Received:
Even the sunlight
isn’t as warm
without you
Replied:
Even the stars
are less bright
Without you
Even the sunlight
isn’t as warm
without you
Replied:
Even the stars
are less bright
Without you

LOVE POEM

No Time Left
I’d sit and read your letters
I’d cry again
I burned them long ago
Was only way to hold you then
Through paper
I burned them page by page
The plans we made
Another chance to spend together
what life would grant us
Time has ran out
Emperor of maladies
Has taken you from all who love you
Now only delusions
Of what could of been for us
Burning in my mind
I’d cry again
I burned them long ago
Was only way to hold you then
Through paper
I burned them page by page
The plans we made
Another chance to spend together
what life would grant us
Time has ran out
Emperor of maladies
Has taken you from all who love you
Now only delusions
Of what could of been for us
Burning in my mind
