POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
my ink comes from the heart and sometimes a dark mind
Ligature Marks
my fierceness fading
blowing away like dust
on the wind
melancholy feelings
take hold and choke
leaving their ligature marks
across my throat
bound, mouth gagged
holding myself tight
cruelty my Master
masochistic I asked for a beating
left reeling
from your blows
I fell to the floor
curled tight in a ball
cracked ribs
puncture my heart
left internally bleeding
I can't cauterize this wound ...

Time, Trees and Trapdoors
Shuffling through life like a lobotomized zombie
disconnected, jumping from one tree to the next
the tree of life holding the hands of time
the tree of death to which my soul is bound
licking the flames of my own destruction
slipping in and out of the abyss
the depths of it's blackness drinking from my core
I jump through the trapdoor of delirium
where it doesn't matter if i'm a whole soul
my time slowly ticking away
I've traded heroin for drinking
there seems to be a void in me I can't fill

Intrigue
(note an old write written after coming off heroin)
living the life of the sedate
I sometimes miss the days of danger
youth full of wonder and adventure
arsenic mixed with opium is intrigue
how many times did the viper bite
before I realized this is poison
yet still searching for fun and mystery
landscapes unexplored
doors unopened
all of them labeled
with a question mark
enter at your own risk is intrigue

Passion For You No More
longing to come on
like a warm summer caress
tantalizing your senses
enticing and inviting
open with a hint of vulnerability
let you gaze at the softer side of me
too strong of will
I came on with brazen
whorish thoughts
fantasies that will never see light
really I never intended that
just longed to reach you anyway I could
acting like an adolescent
foolish in my inept attempts
at seducing your mind ...

Cocaine Free and The Writing High
Two and a half weeks
without cocaine
at first I was on a natural high
feeling good, invigorated
thought shit I can do this
I felt invincible
now like a clock slowly unwinding
becoming a little unhinged
I'm feeling drained, lethargic
I'm left wondering when will I learn
I quit heroin only to run into the arms of another
caught up in the party life again
why do I feel most alive living on the edge?
other people are happy with everyday living ...

I Conjure
the night is heavy
smothering me
with it's intensity
pressing down
on my soft spots
so I rise above the stars
into outer space
where there is no light
to oppress
it's cool here
onyx arms embrace
the darkness my home
here I conjure
amongst the blackness
of the void
it receives my offering
sending out my waves
across the Earth
caressing those I care for
biting, gnawing and tearing
at those I don't
feeling freer by the moment ...

die Kunst des Vergessens~The Art Of Forgetting
sweep it all away
till there is nothing left
just dust motes
Schmerzen schmackhaft
Pain Palatable
feeling forlorn
tuck it away where
it can't be seen
in Ihrem Gefolge verwüstet
Devastated in their wake
I pick myself up
carry on and write
my own stories in the sand
Wenn ich nicht also gebrochen fühlen
When i'm not so broken
I will be able to express
myself with self confidence
live my own adventures

The Ballet
dancing among the stars
a ballet in the cosmos
pirouetting across the night sky
a dancer spinning in the ether
bedecked in moonlight
shining my light
a graceful beauty
who can't be touched
by Earthly hands
seen by angelic eyes
they are the symphony
that I'm tuned into
hurled into my lovers arms
he catches me with strong sure hands
gazing at me with lust, love
we continue our ballet
of push, pull
give and take
grand plié over his waiting mouth
a dance of seduction...

Lighthouse Poetry
your poetic perfection
lingers on the wind
like sea spray
seducing my senses
touching my sweet spots
with the tales you weave
so delicate though strong of hand
tickling the lonely places in me
your adventures are something to behold
seen second hand through my mind's eye
sensual and seductive are your tales
brutal and raw breech at times
depending on what side you are revealing
loving all sides of your...
