POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I am a work in progress with a long, long way to go. I love words and their meanings, insights, and courage they give. As a poet in progress, I am liberated by the next and next word, therefore I MUST write. There are a thousand roads I must travel.

IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE
I tried,
I really did,
but I failed.
I tried not
to think of you
for a day,
but I failed.
I tried not
to think of you
for an hour,
but I failed.
I tried not
to think of you
for a minute,
but I failed.
I tried not
to think of you
for a second,
but I failed.
WHY?
Because you are
ALWAYS
on my mind.
Guess what?
I am so glad and
hope YOU are too.

THINGS THAT CAN'T BE RECALLED
LESSON
A wise philosopher,
wish I knew his name,
once wrote:
"There are three
things which cannot
be recalled or once
again had:
A spent
arrow once it has
left the bow.
A once in a lifetime
opportunity that
has been spurned.
And a word hastily
spoke, once it leaves
your lips it can't be
retrieved to your mouth."
I was thinking this third
one is also true relative
to written words that have
been launched by the send
or print button.
I am under a new vow
to be more...

HOW TO MISUNDERSTAND A POET
OBSERVATION
Writers and especially
those who choose
a poetic style are
so easily misunderstood.
Even fellow-poets
misunderstand where
a poet may be coming from
or trying to stress in a
metaphor, fiction, make-believe,
using first-person, not really
the poet, to make a point
create a scene, interest,
mystery, or some other
attention-getting device.
A poet chooses a dark
slice and dice story and
character, some assume the
poet is the person,
NOT SO.
A poet chooses a sexual
identity or...

A SPORT TO AVOID
WARNING
It has been
played since
the dawn
of man and
his inner
actions with
his fellow humans.
It has destroyed,
at one time,
or another every
relationship between
humans:
prisons are filled,
marriages are broken,
projects are lost,
judgments are fouled,
wars are fought,
relationships destroyed,
careers ruined,
lies replace truth.
YES. We need to avoid
this sport.
What is the sport?
It's not an Olympic sport,
yet it has a part in
every sport. What
is...

WOW! AND MORE WOW
WOW! Wow and more wow
is what YOU do to me.
Webster's Dictionary defines
WOW as: "An exclamation of surprise,
Wonder, pleasure; a remarkable,
Successful, or exciting person or thing."
This most certainly describes
the effect YOU have on me.
There may be other WOWS
In the universe, but none I
Assure you are as powerful
And meaningful as YOU--WOW!
You are the perfect WOW!
You are the only WOW!
You are my loved WOW!
I adore you, my WOW!
Where you have taken my heart
Is beyond all...
is what YOU do to me.

LOST CONTROL
I vowed in a time
of solace and contemplation,
that I was over my obsession with
YOU.
It was a difficult decision
to make and wrestle with.
It's easy to make yourself
promises coated with
unrecognized lies to self.
THEN
I remembered your name,
I lost control.
I read your words,
I lost control.
THEN,
I saw your picture,
I lost control.
I saw your face in the cafe,
I lost control.
When I touched your hand,
I lost control.
THEN,
Then in the magnet pull
of a soft, unplanned kiss, ...

AWAKEN TO LOVE
Bad chicittel" a Buddhist
Word meaning to:
"Awaken your state
of mind."
A closer looked at "chitta"
Means "heart", suggesting
An "Open heart."
We always connect our
Feelings with our
State of mind and
Engage our hearts
According to mental
Dictates in our minds.
We need "Bad chicittel
Relative to love,
We need to awaken to
Love and stop napping
In avoidance of where our
Heart and spirit are.
We are inside our souls
Longing and yearning for love;
Not mental...

IF I COULD WRITE A LOVE SONG
There are a million love songs
That I could sing
I wish I could write one
It seems like the right thing
Our love is so different
In oh so many ways
A song can't do it justice
I'd like to write one anyway.
CHORUS:
If I could write a love song
I tell you what I would say
I'll always love you darling
'Till my dying day
If I could write a love song
It would include your name
You are my love song
The music that I sing.
It wouldn't be just another ...
