POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I am not really a seasoned writer. I write to Feel Less and I read to Feel more.
Routine____Rebel
For more than 60 years, I've been running. . .
The road behind me
rambles over
risk-less and routine terrain.
The road beneath
offers redundantly,
more of the same.
The road I run on
is so uncertain, yet so new.
& as I transform everyday problems
into creative projects,
I'm reminded that my derriere
and the porch rocking chair
weren't made for each other.

Watt? The Base unit of Power
So electrifying
Your current,
that our arc shines
brighter white
than blue.
Sparks jetting out
as our connection
made spiritual contact.
Everyday, today,
though our serial circuit
be stretched near a
5 kilometer from
me…..to…..You,
I can feel the amperage
Increase!
When I say “electrical fuzzies “
I am a High Voltage
Inside - volatile red fluidity
I burn in thoughts of
how I once touched You
made love to You
melted into You.
I know I could insert
a resistor or...

Dreams Agog
(to me) She Felt excited,
though it was late;
not me though ahead of
Pacific & hers is eight.
And now under a
European sky
She sleeps and dreams
of perhaps houses in a
forest
or high among the trees.
Who she dreams of
I’m hoping it’s me.
For when I fall fast
dreaming on my floor
no spell need be cast
for. . .
her Reiki Energy and
love for me
and my Spirit Guide’s
approval
is all I need
to fall further
and to fall
asleep.

The Naked Heterogeneous Horseshoe Crab
Of a porpoise singularity
It’s quite possible
A future whale may be plural.
Being of sane and depth
Sinking in beachy shallows
Over a simple game of chess
On sands hot and hallowed
Sleeplessly fallen.
In moments afar and anew
Oceans expansive mat. . .
Intermintinly a hidden view
Untowel’d wet and fat.
Anon knowledge
I know not well ~
Comprehension is readily
Found within our shell
A vision treasured unseen.
Can YOU be uncovered
Of both of these
In the latter discovered?
Hmmm, keep...

BEWITCHED!
& by her mere glance my way
she ensnared my all ~
I fled. All the more, did I run and all the more. . .
the path grew long. . ."
Longer did he yen for her gaze;
She breast fed him with her smile.
Hungrily, his lust did graze;
Bewitched!
She had him for a while.
Warm and humid sinking deep(er) in a ditch,
She THE SIREN and he the BITCH!
Enchanted more as each hour stitched
with a perchance of promise
of womanly juices and sin. . .
She had him ~
The man becomes Bewitched!
Too...

Slow Strength for You
....and You continue to cause me to Fall for You daily...
I was thinking the other day about how after a Beautiful cleansing rain
Life in general perks up and plants look brighter
Air breathes fresh and cleaner
and even wildlife teems with enthusiasm.
This is how my love has grown for You.
Our interactions daily have slowly grown
to more than the occasional chat and we speak
in loving meaningful shares. Our play is
Brighter; we giggle and sigh in Fresh clean
tones and our shares are deep and we speak
with giddy...

New Ground
It was soft
like the underbelly of
a Beautiful Slug
His fingertips
slide over her
epidermal luster white
blazing a trail
only taking his time
to do it
She writhed and moaned
as another trail
felt from toes to the nape
of her neck
She knew NO more
stop
for he still had to
roll her over
and begin
anew.

PINK sunset
Breathe deep. Deeper still.
Industrial Revolution.
Greed.
Thoughtlessness.
Industrial waste.
Foul taste.
Shallow breath.
Short.
O, but what a beautiful PINK sunset.
Greed.
Empty breath.
Shortsightedness.
Blindness.
The sunsets are still PINK.

Drivel
O my fucking God!
I scribbled another piece of shit on the parchment
And when the monk returns from the city
He’s gonna kick my ass…again!
I am a brain dead scribe - still...
Still jotting down shit for a monk in a dank cave
In a mountain in Tibet.
I AM NO MONK! I am not even certain I wanna be (pompous Fuck!).
I haven’t been formerly trained and this fucking monk
doesn’t show me shit (damn selfish bastard).
Perhaps, my lack of correct syllable
Comes from way too much drink!
Hah! As if that monk saw through...

Hum
Hmm...
Hum. . .
the sum of,
thereof
& humming ~
Early birds
trying to catch
early mornings
higher pitched
& hum ~
Therefore
humming
at speeds
entertaining
our visuals,
wings flap
& hum!
Hmmm. . .
Noooooooo,
It’s a low
whistle
& hum ~
smile

a 2 Flight Fall
Back
not too far, though
on the outskirts
perhaps,
You are on my mind.
Briefly
You popped in online
a wee note to me
now all it takes to
envelope & carry
You pushed my sailboat
to the shores of
the isle of
love
and my heart.
Thank You
for caring about me
enough
to
do
any more wee gestures
and I may fall
more
more than 2 flights
of stares I’ve been
and I cope
best I can

Argument Aftermath
With feigned indifference
I tried to arrest your heart.
But my sensitive eyes
and gentle tone of voice
gave me away.
The warmth of your embrace
gave way to tears,
and the love on your face
erased most of my fears.
To err is mortal,
And love is not without
pains along the way.
Out of the portal
of love, comes much
apologies and forgiveness.
These 2 facets
of love
eases the hurts
along the way.
So.............
how can I continue to
be angry ----...
