POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I am not really a seasoned writer. I write to Feel Less and I read to Feel more.
Beetle Better (a)Bouts
Random thoughts of a madman]
On the wings of Beetles,
She busily buzzed back;
She returns to my waking.
Awakened,
I slowed my past to capture
each dandelion
easily living where other
plants struggle to thrive.
Some pantomime
as wee zephyrs,
helping Beetles glide,
flow through the valley
that holds
my Tao in place.
Life is pleasant here
almost “ Faerie – Tale’d “
and I, for one,
look forward for more
of the same
for more of the different,
the differences, mostly.

Manifest
Imprisoned within my dreams
of my own fabrication,
You became more than an obsession.
I was not the only one,
the only one to dream of Your arrival
into my dead pool of wandering
and wondering with search-less
retreat.
Top of the manifest,
You were to become my suture
to scabs that I periodically open
so I can drink my own bleeding
desire of self-amazement and
pain.
And then one day I let all go.
Letting go of the pain and fear
and of the manifest, I know
willingly, I released any near
wants of...

I was thinking of You……….
I thought of You yesterday.
I longed for You last night
and when night reared it’s
quiet resolve, blinded You
Were somewhere else.
Still, I ached for You
Your embrace and tender
whispers. I still recall
when You and me would
wrestle with life’s seemingly
paradoxical universal tomes.
Damn You – for leaving me
To the sentient beings here
and the effin human beings!
But I suppose You have Your
Reasons…….
Still, You came to me in my
Dreaming world
and You tempted me.
Why? ...

Lightworker's Assignment
Yeah, I know, but…
It’s like the weight of the world
Rests heavy
Heavily upon
Sleepy shoulders………
No it doesn’t!!
(I know)
I just can’t sleep.

For some, it's quickly over;
For us, we're not quite there.
I keep lookin' o'er my shoulder
for Your presence somewhere.
Not certain why we do this
Feelings are bitter & mad.
Intimacy & romance I miss ----
now left with mostly sad.
I've moved on emotionally;
Rarely feel pain seeing You.
Almost healed completely
my Spirit close to renew.
I see You're not all frozen;
You also trying to move on.
A different Tao You've chosen,
I pray it helps You get along.
I still love You, for what...

my Succubus
She came to me
all moon dusted
traveling via
Selene's
silvery moon rays
penetrating my
restless, often lucid
dreams. She came
with sensual bait
and I hungered to drink
her dry.
I have yet to see her face
though liken to a
blind man, I KNOW I've
seen all of her and she
IS exquisite.
She neither questions
nor gives answers
only pleases and
entreats me to join
to meld with her.
I want to but........
We slept together
last night.
I woke up more
refreshed than...

Jinn & Tonic
a fractured habit
never gone unless
a clean break exists
eerie shit
hovers in the
balance like
teeny boppers
you know -- those
clingy bastards
where shivering
nearly makes
'em drop
effin wiley
Prankster
of the drink,
i think. . .
ah but WTF?
acronyms aside,
the spirits
may not be on
my side
still
i see no reason
why
i cannot
be-not-on-it
relaxing and smiling
with a gin and tonic.

In the Rough
unpolished
unsettled,
a crystal
flush
within a
mind's eye
Hush
awaits a
clouded
prediction
of
uncertainty
& love.
