POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Martial Arts in the Park
co-stars
cinema sky
suffused blues
like hues of eyes
summer cotton
marmalade July
and the fallen pollen
like gold dust cries
starlight beams
spilling night
streaming dreams
into reservoir light
the dance of day
the fight of night
and a cinema sky
on a free write night
prowess and prayer
art and life
spark in the heart
heart in the dark
shape shifting show
martial arts in the park
cinema sky
suffused blues
like hues of eyes
summer cotton
marmalade July
and the fallen pollen
like gold dust cries
starlight beams
spilling night
streaming dreams
into reservoir light
the dance of day
the fight of night
and a cinema sky
on a free write night
prowess and prayer
art and life
spark in the heart
heart in the dark
shape shifting show
martial arts in the park

Soft Blanket Serenade
Soft Blanket Serenade
A minor
Breathless bass
Panting drums
Oh bones
Cello in chest
Grieve the fall
Porcelain bleeds
The violin cries
Singing her beautiful
As her heart dies
Dampened her fair
Bedewed in rain
The heavy lidded orchestra
Soft blanket serenade
A minor
Breathless bass
Panting drums
Oh bones
Cello in chest
Grieve the fall
Porcelain bleeds
The violin cries
Singing her beautiful
As her heart dies
Dampened her fair
Bedewed in rain
The heavy lidded orchestra
Soft blanket serenade

Antique Pen
Antique Pen
Where it all began
Antique pen
Memoirs expire
Lose fire
Inspire
Just to start over again
And...
To be frank
(Drawing a blank)
So I thank
Comedienne,
Antique Pen
Out of ink
Where it all began
Antique pen
Memoirs expire
Lose fire
Inspire
Just to start over again
And...
To be frank
(Drawing a blank)
So I thank
Comedienne,
Antique Pen
Out of ink

Wet Cement
What is it
What is you so fear
From the echo of a dent
In wet cement
Without light is without shade
What hadn’t been formed
Hadn’t been made
Wet cement
What is you so fear
From the echo of a dent
In wet cement
Without light is without shade
What hadn’t been formed
Hadn’t been made
Wet cement

Northwest Quest
Northwest Quest
Zephyr breeze from the gray northwest
Chambered inside the walls of my chest
Expel the missive from my breath
not to accost the shadow of death
Penumbra behest the sunrise pale
Faint and fade a shadows veil
Silt and clay from shattered shale
On a northwest quest
To no gray avail
Zephyr breeze from the gray northwest
Chambered inside the walls of my chest
Expel the missive from my breath
not to accost the shadow of death
Penumbra behest the sunrise pale
Faint and fade a shadows veil
Silt and clay from shattered shale
On a northwest quest
To no gray avail

Corrine
stunning and cunning
burning a sea of eyes
liquidating her hips
permeating the prize
slender tender Corinne
cherry bloodied pout
she hunts not to win
but to silence the liars mouth
sun is rising sweet Corinne
you know not where you've been
til secrets drip from your chin
Oh what you have done again
burning a sea of eyes
liquidating her hips
permeating the prize
slender tender Corinne
cherry bloodied pout
she hunts not to win
but to silence the liars mouth
sun is rising sweet Corinne
you know not where you've been
til secrets drip from your chin
Oh what you have done again

Black Cherry Tree
I am
You be
nusdidanvi
black cherry tree
Pendelous bower
Silk meadowsweet
Sapid like sour
Reborn to repeat
Drown due the rain
Sourcing the seed
Hunger due the sun
To dry
To bleed
For what ground
Oh black cherry tree
Unfound
Unbound
I am
You be
You be
nusdidanvi
black cherry tree
Pendelous bower
Silk meadowsweet
Sapid like sour
Reborn to repeat
Drown due the rain
Sourcing the seed
Hunger due the sun
To dry
To bleed
For what ground
Oh black cherry tree
Unfound
Unbound
I am
You be

Seafoam Dream
Seafoam Dream
Weightless in a seafoam dream
And I feel Ethereal
Donned in chiffon
As the symphony carries on
The sky is mine
If only for a time
Look at her shine
Look at her shine
Weightless in a seafoam dream
And I feel Ethereal
Donned in chiffon
As the symphony carries on
The sky is mine
If only for a time
Look at her shine
Look at her shine

Catori
Catori
She is wild
Desolate
Savage in her way
Uninhibited in her cantor
As wild horses play
She is Catori
Boundless and free
She knows no borders
That wild eyes see
Contrary yet lucid
Content to clash
When confined she will stir
And rescues herself in a vigorous dash
She will sail
She will soar
She rises
She glows
Nor path nor guide
She artlessly goes
Sweeping the coastlines
A runaway from home
Storming new ventures
Where the wild horses roam
She is wild
Desolate
Savage in her way
Uninhibited in her cantor
As wild horses play
She is Catori
Boundless and free
She knows no borders
That wild eyes see
Contrary yet lucid
Content to clash
When confined she will stir
And rescues herself in a vigorous dash
She will sail
She will soar
She rises
She glows
Nor path nor guide
She artlessly goes
Sweeping the coastlines
A runaway from home
Storming new ventures
Where the wild horses roam

Storms Of Pain
Startling is the storm
That shakes me from sleep
Drowning dreams from my head
As it rattles me from my bed
And as the downpour cries
From charry smudged skies
I weep of a dampened heart
And the dam breaks my eyes
Soothing is the rain
That sings my soul to sleep
The cooling blue sound
Silence all around
My whimpering heart sighs
I close my flooded eyes
Healing from the rain
Brought by storms of pain
That shakes me from sleep
Drowning dreams from my head
As it rattles me from my bed
And as the downpour cries
From charry smudged skies
I weep of a dampened heart
And the dam breaks my eyes
Soothing is the rain
That sings my soul to sleep
The cooling blue sound
Silence all around
My whimpering heart sighs
I close my flooded eyes
Healing from the rain
Brought by storms of pain

To be your friend
To be your friend
Like a child finishing vegetables
Just for permission to play
pushing aside the plate
Pleading wide-eyed and clasped hands
Mom gives the nod
Hurriedly, I rush out
And before the screen door shuts
I have made it to the end of the sidewalk
I race heavy footed to the playground
For I know you will be there
And it is always magical when we are together
To be your friend
You are in the distance waving
Wearing the same smile...
Like a child finishing vegetables
Just for permission to play
pushing aside the plate
Pleading wide-eyed and clasped hands
Mom gives the nod
Hurriedly, I rush out
And before the screen door shuts
I have made it to the end of the sidewalk
I race heavy footed to the playground
For I know you will be there
And it is always magical when we are together
To be your friend
You are in the distance waving
Wearing the same smile...
