POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction Yet to be determined. But my fascinations as a reader tend to drift to biography, horror and of course, the erotic.

Forms Of Pleasure
There is kindness
in each stroke
that informs
the lengthening
A reverence for the rising
of hidden splendours
that can touch
preferred gateways
Acute appraisals
only inform
the enchantment
of swells
and seasonings.

Blurred Subjects Of Artistic Sabotage
You'll see I've been obscured
by the smudge of tears
that never fell
to release me
of the entanglements
of an indecisive mind
Still marred
by a wet palm print;
a visibility shadowed
by an illustration
that never came to be
A painting destroyed
by the fist of a jaded artist
a poem deleted
a song wiped by intent
the intensity of frustration
directed at the source,
at the process
Reactive moments
to war with what can never be
wanting to be perfect ...

Without Limits
The stipulations of the agreement
benefit from the lack of clarity
the expedition forward
to find another's charity
Who would accept
complicated conditions,
while sharing a home
with these constant revisions?
But attraction has vanished,
a fact constantly stated
and given my tastes
I need to be sated
Consumed by allowance
but hesitant to move,
where does one go
to realize the mood
But only the truth
will land the like-minded,
and I feel like a novice
whose cock must be guided...

In The Span of Flight
There were times
when I would float
like a runaway balloon
escaping the herd
bopping along
silently
waiting for someone
to reel me in
with a quick tug
of the attached string
to claim temporary ownership
of this restless spirit
until properly deflated.

Indented Charm
There is a pair of pants
reserved for a certain evening
a slim burgandy cut
that pairs with white or black
The fit appeals
to any movement
that may happen
and gives a bit of flare
to the predictable
fashion choices
that haunt this place
Some men will snicker,
but a rebellion
doesn't always take place
in jeans
and I already expect
a snide comment or two
But I'm not wearing them
to impress the brothers,
these are solely to invite
a feminine perusal
To see me in...

The Negotiation To Reinvent
I am no longer sorry
that truth escapes
those lips,
kissed so many times
when I was palpable
to the progression
towards a union
that I thought
could be everlasting
Our hearts have merged
in the smile
of she
who navigates
this world
under our watchful eyes
But our world broke open
to the influences beyond
the normal expectations
and with those changes
a division from the romantic
but not the soul
I can't fully comprehend
how it happens,
but it does
...

That Spike In Nerves
Nervous apprehension spikes
not knowing what to expect,
the fear of strangers
craving a familiar face,
but they say
it is good to drift outside
that comfort zone
I could have hidden away
and blamed the weather
or a tiring workday
but something
propelled me here
So here I go.

To Wake Unhappy
An eye to the romance
parading by
the riddle
occupies hours
translated to sheets
startled awake
before the light
wanting to sneak
to her room
to lie against her
in the chill
of the empty feeling
hoping she will move against
the ridge forming
in that semi-conscious state
to quell the shadings
of abandonment
that haunt his broken slumber
touching himself
could never be enough,
but the dying thirst
she banished
was a cruel alteration
to a natural...

The Remnants Of Hostility
The remnants of hostility
hide behind her emerald eyes
misdirected, but present
in the scatter of past lies
She would banish (if she could)
the remnants of hostility
to allow herself a brief reprieve
to serenade with frivolity
The need keeps ever growing
but what is difficult to shake
the remnants of hostility
get directed at her mate
blouse undone and shoulders bare
drawn tight in her vicinity
it could erupt, if they should fuck
the remnants of hostility
hide behind her emerald eyes
misdirected, but present
in the scatter of past lies
She would banish (if she could)
the remnants of hostility
to allow herself a brief reprieve
to serenade with frivolity
The need keeps ever growing
but what is difficult to shake
the remnants of hostility
get directed at her mate
blouse undone and shoulders bare
drawn tight in her vicinity
it could erupt, if they should fuck
the remnants of hostility

Time Is The Infringement
Should I conceal
and do I want to?
We're in that early stage
and to rush any of it
would be unfortunate
if we can reign this in
and drag it out for hours
I want to linger in the state
of your absolute fascination
and eradicate any notion
that a future even exists
I've never cared
for the intrusion of time
for it has rarely
worked in my favour.

Unforgiving Nourishment
The digestion of trauma
invading each host
targeting different
parts of us
- communal but isolating
stuck in throat
or rapid heart
straight to gut
(not nausea,
but similar)
tense jaws
restrictive moments
The aftertaste of the recipe
- one ingredient,
maybe all
The lack of courage
is the dreaded flashback
Each time
the taste is reflective
of that first dish.
