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.

Quite After the Storm
It’s quite now
rain dripping through the trees
Lighting has passed
thunder rumbles softly in the distance
It’s quite
after the storm
rain dripping through the trees
Lighting has passed
thunder rumbles softly in the distance
It’s quite
after the storm

Once More
The grass is heavy with the damp jewels of night
A restless wind chases leaves from their lofty nests
A distant Whip-poor-will sings one last echoing refrain
Softly the sun wins through the trees and kisses the meadow
It is morning...
A long path stretches ahead of me
I am alone once more
A restless wind chases leaves from their lofty nests
A distant Whip-poor-will sings one last echoing refrain
Softly the sun wins through the trees and kisses the meadow
It is morning...
A long path stretches ahead of me
I am alone once more

Wrong
I was wrong to enter your safe world
of toy trains and model planes
I should should of stood aside as your
Kite
Came
Tumbling
Down

I visit the sea
Its like a need within
Against her open vastness
My problems shrink once more
It’s like going home again
A home that never changes
Rain and sleet and all fogged in
An angry ocean beats against the rocky shore
Again the magic works its charm
How glad i am, human once more
Its like a need within
Against her open vastness
My problems shrink once more
It’s like going home again
A home that never changes
Rain and sleet and all fogged in
An angry ocean beats against the rocky shore
Again the magic works its charm
How glad i am, human once more

Off set art

Icing on the top
Blizzard, Ice storms

Bayou Wash
Clouds boil up
From over the bayou
Dragonflies glitter
On filled clothesline
Looking like closes-pins
On the fresh wash
Darting here and there
As i rush
To beat the rain
From over the bayou
Dragonflies glitter
On filled clothesline
Looking like closes-pins
On the fresh wash
Darting here and there
As i rush
To beat the rain

My Muse
I did scared you away
With this rash move
A flight made from stupidity
Knowing you would not follow
Choosing to stay within the safety of your status quo
My Muse is gone

My Muse is gone

Youthful skin once tawny bright
Muscled back once stright and strong
Now doughy white soft as new made bread

Dark Angel
Come dark angel
I fear not
The long embrace
Of endless sleep
No more fear
No more loss
No where else
Can I be free
I fear not
The long embrace
Of endless sleep
No more fear
No more loss
No where else
Can I be free
