POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
poetry makes me fucking pretty
End of Days
I have been misjudged throughout my life
and to death, not a soul will know this man
I am not simple, nor wise, but I have a heart
with immense power to bind and break in two
I bare the scars upon eyes that should not see
carved Ajna knot struck by blades of insight
I have been blinded by love too many times
yet patience and faith is Lord to all heathens
I am a sinner and slave to my ravening fantasies
karma has inflicted ways to skin this hunter alive
strung from willow, bleeding...

Matryoshka [souls]
breathe] forty-two-twenty grams
breathe it out, slip s t r e a m
expediential expectations induce
naive ideology of spring wildflowers
under candlelit lucid skies
[exhale] dull spinal tap cap
lines drawn and trapdoors silently quake
behind howling seas
breaking shores
breathing assurance
[breathe] when the first wave comes
overcoming her with locomotive force
forging tunnels... fear wells inside me
with intravenous telepathy
pulsating ultrasonic light
...

The spectral love lines of helium worship
My one wish is to cut these tethers
feel our celestial bodies tremble against gravity
hurtling stratospheric rocketeers into orbit
eternally pivoting in equilibrium
adoring minds lost in time.
This poem was written for the "One wish" comp with a twenty nine word limit.

Bare Trap [&] Dreams
Her eyes blink once with a click, dreams snatched
from the trapper, clutching jaws with teardrop scars.
Muffled bite from snow chains, lifeless, unlatched.
Her eyes blink once with a click, dreams snatched
bare arms and lies buried deep, till links unmatched.
Breathless, final fight or flight, chasing falling stars…
Her eyes blink once with a click, dreams snatched
from the trapper, clutching jaws with teardrop scars.
This poem is a "Triolet" written for the "Intergalactic Nuclearball (Fusion rules)" comp.
from the trapper, clutching jaws with teardrop scars.
Muffled bite from snow chains, lifeless, unlatched.
Her eyes blink once with a click, dreams snatched
bare arms and lies buried deep, till links unmatched.
Breathless, final fight or flight, chasing falling stars…
Her eyes blink once with a click, dreams snatched
from the trapper, clutching jaws with teardrop scars.

The Final Voyage of Mael Dúin
Lost men, ní foláir meld in the Otherworld
where they can not grow old and die.
A dead man, ní foláir wail in bloody wallow,
screams of severed panpipe tongues.
O avengers, we have lost our way, hunting the slayer
of Mael Dúin’s athair, on the island of the druid’s eye.
O tempest, oceanic walls willed by the bellows of God,
cast sails beyond credence of the silver pillar mesh.
Our ship, slips under veil of amorous Talamh of Mná,
where somnolent souls succumb goddess moonshine. ...

The Carer’s Gift
Death is the broken shell of life,
tomorrow will emerge the carer's soul
from the covenant of compassion.
Timeless bars of the carer’s recital
melodic drips from finger tips
with tender touch of keys.
Action levers jack springs
hammer shank, hammer felt,
string struck chimes reverberates
and resonates from morphine smiles
weathered by the good fight.
An air of elation
adorns captive minds.
Glass eyes entombed
with knowledge of life
crippled with...

the Winemaker
the vines have prevailed dry blistering frosts
and ripened fruit, fraught with sleepless nights
of looming rain, threatening fungal bloom
pulped forbidden fruit from caressing groves
plucked tender harvest of my pressing soul
encapsulated sensations fulfil my glass heart
this offering, my essence bottled in lead crystal
spells unbound with the romantic rite of cork
unleashing the flow from my jugular jinni
in velvet plume I bleed and I am blissfully absolved
outpouring into the sacred chalice with gentle...

Breathless Predator
A veil of misty tears
suffocate kisses from morning light
the breakwall emerges from dragon’s breath
like black jagged teeth along the ocean fort
the metallic serpent meanders stealthily out of site
into the snake pit of ocean depths
quicksilver scales ripple silhouettes
along abandoned shorelines and smothered skies
drifting out amongst cold blooded breakers
suspended in space on rocking resin spine
awaiting the ferocity of my hunter
writhing fins warily cut mirrors in smooth arcs

Wreck Bay
blue soldiers await valor as the glassy bay recedes
thousands of creatures hatch from the exposed sand bed
simultaneously emerge, micro robotic juggernauts
creep like metallic pearls
plowing the sand flats, racing the tide
trickling sun showers swirl in swarms
dividing and uniting in cross currents of blue haze
drawn to the scavenger hunt, unstoppable force of gravity
anxious mouths grind on sandy flesh from the wreck
murmurs resonate in bloody froth
the blue army feed from bones of a jigsaw corpse

Animal [feed]
charm is the tune of a slippery tongue
seducing surrender with silk tension
binding sacrament with romandy bowlines
reminds me three times to never entertain a seductress
expressing mild curiosity for my cock
the fourth knot secures need
to unleash my stampede from the west
spreading her thighs wide eyed
exposing a gleam of hope
that I’ll tear her apart like the [animal] she wants
I slide her gown over ashen [skin]
curves and bone are my undoing...
