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.

The camera doesn’t
Always lie
It just can’t see
The ugliness
Reflected in the mirror
Always lie
It just can’t see
The ugliness
Reflected in the mirror

Love
Is a lovely phantasy
i'm broke
you don’t need to
be broken again
i'm broke
you don’t need to
be broken again

I want to love
but can not show
to you or anyone
the hurt within
Not fear for me
but for you
in the knowing the hurt
the loss will cause
but can not show
to you or anyone
the hurt within
Not fear for me
but for you
in the knowing the hurt
the loss will cause

Words not spoken
Meaning understood
A Summer of emptiness ahead of me

Want to know if you are in love?
Ask yourself if you’re happy
Everyday
Weeks
Months
Years
Pass
After that if all the answers are “yes”
It’s Love

Crayons
Crayons on the wall
Dirty diapers in the mall
From the nursery down the hall
Comes the crying to top it all

Open Shut Case
I walked in with eyes
opened wide
Painless the parting
will not be
I walk out with eyes
closed tight

Painless the parting
will not be

The merkey shadows
where we loved
have gone
The light of reality
has washed them
all away
where we loved
have gone
The light of reality
has washed them

A fog
Penetrates my brain
Sweet dreams of you to
Chase away this mist
Penetrates my brain
Sweet dreams of you to
Chase away this mist

Then and Now
Pen to paper
words of ink
Forever on a winters morn
Keyboard and screen
words formed of pixels
Forever in hard drives’ memory

A Wagon
I had a wagon
A red wagon
Full of my most
Precious items
I pulled that wagon
With my precious
Leave me precious
I Says why
No good for you
I say never found
Anyone softer
To look at
I pull that wagon
With my precious
Gets mad
I fight , we fight
Not get my precious
You look at me
Cross eyed
What’s so precious
About your wagon?
Her name is sanity
I fight for that.
Not good but I
Try to make
You wonder
You are my precious
A red wagon
Full of my most
Precious items
I pulled that wagon
With my precious
Leave me precious
I Says why
No good for you
I say never found
Anyone softer
To look at
I pull that wagon
With my precious
Gets mad
I fight , we fight
Not get my precious
You look at me
Cross eyed
What’s so precious
About your wagon?
Her name is sanity
I fight for that.
Not good but I
Try to make
You wonder
You are my precious
