POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
a slow but sure frost
out of the shadows
of our doubt fear
waits,
silently,
patiently,
for the roses of
our courage to
die

a very short poem about nothing
the flaming torch
does not light the
way
it just hides the
darkness
i rather have the
darkness and a
good smoke
any old
day
does not light the
way
it just hides the
darkness
i rather have the
darkness and a
good smoke
any old
day

the shadows of silence
what is built in
love and
beauty
is torn down in
rage and
fire
moments
come
moments
go
lovers
come
lovers
go
and at the end
of the
day
when the sun
is tried and
curses the
sky
and cars limp slowly
home through
snow and
ice
loss remains
a faithful
friend
and heartbreak wears a
mask so beautiful that
the shadows

how careless of me
if i told you a
hundred times
a day, "i love
you."
nay...
a thousand
times a day,
i would regret
that it wasn't
a thousand
and one.

not all strays are dogs
sometimes the stray
bullet finds you
a job is lost
a love leaves
a friend dies
it will find you
on the most
perfect days
days when the
sun is shining,
the harps are
playing and
the angels
singing
the stray bullet
will arrive in the
mailbox
or in the smile
on the lips of
a false friend
it might be in
the flashing red
lights pulling
you over on a
deserted road
on some desolate
night
the stray...

the best i can do on a warm Saturday afternoon
in the kitchen
looking out the
window.
sitting,
smoking,
thinking,
I ask
myself:
do rivers
dream?
is the earth
jealous
of heaven?
and if there
arent answers
to somethings,
was a question
ever asked?
while the cat
sitting across
from me
stares,
his lightening
eyes filled with
ancient wisdom
of the Sphinx.
smoke from
my cigarette
rises up and
plays a hymn
to the air.

in the presence of this one moment
there is nothing more
significant than the
moment one realizes
that we are all completely
and utterly alone inside
of ourselves and everything
else like love, religion, morality
and faith was just an excuse
to avoid living our life and
denying the ordinary fact
that, sooner or later, all
things give way to decay.
