POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I love quirky imagery painted in sleek words. Subtle, witty, descriptive verses are my favourite. Poetic discipline and control have parts to play; as do regular visits to the gorgeous ink shop .
Dark Horizons
When darkness stirs a woman's soul, she can
Accept the lure of night and slowly rend
Ideas, within her mind, which shredded, tend
To focus on the power in a man:
The kind who loves to sublimate and span
Her every conscious moment - let her blend
These with illicit ideas, that could send
A lesser male away; but, it's her plan
To find her way to darkness, where she'll wait,
Attendant on desires and hopes and fear
Of the next step, which she could have thought through;
Yet, clearly eager, she's sure he will sate
Her body...

Secret Reading
She's sitting at a table as she reads
Some fiction or romance? Is it a letter?
A naughty correspondence sometimes seeds
Sweet thoughts to make her blush or, even better,
Ideas a dalliance might give some pleasure;
For which someone will reward her so well,
That she could read forever at her leisure;
And need not share the plot, for she can tell
No one her little secrets, as she'll find
That every little mystery excites
A further passion; and she is inclined
To keep this passion and all the delights
By gathering them up, as best she's able,...

Forever and a day
She would bring
him back the most
secret bouquet:
flowers with a
fantasy of bruised,
purple hearts
and the blackest
dream complete
with welted petals
to pluck
and add to her
bitter-sweet memories
forever and a day.

Everything and Nothing
She is a person who likes everything
In moderation, but never contained;
She’s passionate, but passion’s not constrained
By sparkling light and all the other bling
That seems to gather round her – she will bring
Her star-like qualities; these have remained
Quite imperturbable, while she has trained
Herself to be the heart to make him sing
At midnight;
And, again, when they find joy
By simply waking and turning to clutch
Each other, as they lie there and deploy
Their limbs until they’re tangled; and in such
A state that she will never...
