POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Ruthless Baring by pen.. Stroke my Ego or Show me No Mercy!
Inside-Out
Wandering the stalest path
of my inner mind..
Cold wind rasps stormy tides
and I still feel you,
so fingertip soft
against my skull..
Illusion?
Mayhap the mayhem
has been installed..
(I slept too long)
Beneath sooted lashes,
frozen sticky from you..
I beckon this breach..
this insanity
in purloined view,
see myself
through your eyes..
and get knocked back
from your spite.
This virginal shell,
veined in short crosses..
bonds the linked...
of my inner mind..
Cold wind rasps stormy tides
and I still feel you,
so fingertip soft
against my skull..
Illusion?
Mayhap the mayhem
has been installed..

Beneath sooted lashes,
frozen sticky from you..
I beckon this breach..
this insanity
in purloined view,
see myself
through your eyes..
and get knocked back
from your spite.
This virginal shell,
veined in short crosses..

Bare-Puddle Bleed
Smile
and bold-strip my skin
to bare-puddle bleed,
Gracing fine altar
of reddest concrete.
Breathe deep like desire
for soul burn and rash.
Scorch me as wet fire
in rain-spattered clash.
Smile
and clean-cleanse me
with barest of touch,
'Opine your power
feed hungry. (often and much)
Scent me with nostrils
that raw-separate souls.
I jump in heavy,
don't like to be cold.
Smile
and inner-warm me,
my strength has all fled.
Grant me your altar, ...

Calloused
My sunny-side eludes me,
jaunty digression falls.
Stuck in sharpest cage I know,
scream to silent to these walls.
They soak up scraps of aura,
like hungry on skin-pore..
Draining me, obsolete
at Patience' door.
Want to lick a finger-
and turn a paged timeline.
I'm my own bookmark
and hum a verse of Find...
"Negate fate's body pain-
give me the strength to stand,
I am but porous filter
with hard tries to understand."
Not strong enough to serve
with limbs in weakened fend..
But hope, I...

hung jury
Spurned to sore, I nail down my lid,
cross my elbows tight, and just wait..
Peace, en sacrosanct, eludes me,
silent safeties tailgate in late.
Ill assumptions, travel on sound
to flood through my paperweight.
Layered lies, do not slumber tonight;
as I tuck my chin to knee-space.
This is my hide, my always, inside,
huddled close, as sadness erupts..
If able to throw reflection on you's
I'd open-eye stare, in mossy dare
and play catechism to your hate. ...

Zero-One Undone
Halo askew and tarnished...
tipping to the right,
I raise stern brow in warning...
(figured that you might)
Singe my fend with sour-
pull that altered fight.
Slippin' into dark-fume,
tongue in cheek ..I wait...
keyed on irons of debate.
Wing rips hard, first stone is thrown-
Verbals hit, Too close to home,
I flounder air to dodge that tone.
Cast aside, you dare to dream-
that I'll bow down on whim, it seems...
No? (I'm tossed goat-slitted gleam)
Sucking breath from precipice-
I'm rankled as...

Subdued
Black matter, drinks me through,
hand on neck, I am subdued.
Soggy eyes scrape the sky,
weak incarnate, well-cried dry.
Owning answers, Still I ask
to sip a cup, brim-full of past.
The jeweled chalice o'malady,
might be all I'll ever see...
Lady Light clings in small heap,
silent as I spill my weep.
Ne'er to be in cosmo's bright,
I'm not up to that fist fight...
To see prospect, infinitely close
yet I can't grasp, with ease of most...
Arms reach up, to block the sounds
of my tumble-fall...
hand on neck, I am subdued.

I wear you well
I could touch forever,
~there..
endless, in those eyes.
Sift through edges jaded,
wipe clean all those cries.
Eradicate the ashes
of each forsaken plight.
Blend stains of you inside myself,
paint stars into your void.
I'm crushing, in soft whispers,
as two parts cling, conjoined.
I'll stitch lines of cryptic sanity,
slow, 'midst doubtful folds
to force away all bleakness,
stand guard to heart and soul..
Be your explicit reason
n'steer you from that hole.
Grasp depreciation's...

magically bent
Fades of day break
in tired cracks of storm.
The sky is weak
and drained of form.
Shifting. spinning,
one last sputter-shine
to grasp control
with a thirsty breath dying,
Seizing on ribbon's end
of the world going mauve.
Penetrating darkness
comes slow and soft...
Facing to the east
on fragility's back,
I circle-spin weary
as tautness grows slack.
A soft chant of wanting,
the night still begins...
Upon the hazy horizon,
I shift countless times..
wandering the faceless
in...

white paper
I spread myself raw
before the scrutiny
of your eyes.
My insides clench
yet still I pry..
wider for answers,
further in tears..
staining my wisdom
with your casual fears.
Timeless, these moments.
I've gutted my grace,
treading soft eggshells
'neath weary foot space.
I am withered sponge
with the distaste for two
still I rip within reason
to justify dues.
The minute silence
spreads on deaf ear.
I lash out in rage
for I am.
I am HERE.
Starving on teardrops,
I've...

puddle-sounds
Juices like wine,
gather at your tip..
swelled hot and jerking
for tight throat and lip.
Warmest of liquid,
hot skin at a bite..
I'm hungry for filling,
warm pool 'tween thighs.
Pin me down flat
and straddle my mouth,
feed me your length
slow, while I'm loud.
I sigh, in puddle-sounds.
You push into my resistance
and my stomach burns with full.
Eyes locked at bold intrusion,
my tongue sings fire in lull.
I swallow you in hard gulps
of my throaty reflex.. ...

Self-made
I barter self-sanctuary
bit by bit,
effuse self-hugs by precedent.
Remind myself, I cannot stop
or I will be to blame for loss.
Sharp-eye the trap
I've squatted on,
test the latch, forgiving none.
I settle in,
(lids squeezed tight)
awaiting jaws of metal bite.
Silence meets me..
Where'd it go?
(the pain that tends to come on slow)
Creeping to tall-
I peek around,
and SNAP!
(me, and the kiss of ground)

effuse self-hugs by precedent.

Mind Tumble
An invitation, sent inside
the deep caress of your mind.
I feed you vision, of sunset's fall.
You are the night- sensation tall.
I brush you soft, with palest lips.
Feel me. The wind, in gentle kiss.
Nipping you slow, that hidden place
on shoulders crevice, lovely taste.
Intoxicating, breathing more
The scent of you. My tempest storm.
Our forms shimmer as shadows fade,
I bend to knees. A need to taste.
A crown of midnight, I bow to feed,
slide down so hard, with mouth of need.
Your fists- a tangle...
the deep caress of your mind.
I feed you vision, of sunset's fall.
You are the night- sensation tall.
I brush you soft, with palest lips.
Feel me. The wind, in gentle kiss.
Nipping you slow, that hidden place
on shoulders crevice, lovely taste.

Our forms shimmer as shadows fade,
I bend to knees. A need to taste.
A crown of midnight, I bow to feed,
slide down so hard, with mouth of need.
