POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm a victim of consensual reality but escape when the hive mind is not looking.

STATIC LIFE
LIFE is static save the canvas
it rolls and tosses across
the spectrum of all our souls

Anemic Lie
I SAW a lie cross a path
it was anemic and weak
as it made its way
craving a soul that only knows
a life in fear and pain
it did not have far to go...

A MOONLIGHT PALE
A SLUMBERING breeze blows
beyond clambering hills
And conjures a song
So somber from trees
Beneath
Crystal silence sings
a painful burning flesh
and threads in dreams
devouring numbing stings
So stiff the twilight
that constricts my throat
I muffle a yawning cry
from dawning fright
The moon
Lay pale in listless shroud
and death is no wonder
In varnished white clouds
comes rumbless thunder
N'ver a stretch in mind
Oh, fiery blood,...
beyond clambering hills
And conjures a song
So somber from trees
Beneath
Crystal silence sings
a painful burning flesh
and threads in dreams
devouring numbing stings
So stiff the twilight
that constricts my throat
I muffle a yawning cry
from dawning fright
The moon
Lay pale in listless shroud
and death is no wonder
In varnished white clouds
comes rumbless thunder
N'ver a stretch in mind
Oh, fiery blood,...

DREAM OF PAST LIFE WITH YOU
IN MY sleep I saw your face
as though in my waking hours
when I saw your face
and knew it could not be
that this feeling was a dream
something imagined or unreal
You were riding upon Glory
a horse I called after a mother
whom had died centuries ago
and within my heart I saw you go
across the fields of wheat like gold
braided hair and rosey skin
An air of nobility across your face
and in the misty distance lay a castle
something strong and solid in stance
Across from which appeared a moat
and then you...
as though in my waking hours

and knew it could not be

You were riding upon Glory

across the fields of wheat like gold
braided hair and rosey skin
An air of nobility across your face

COLD BLUE NILE
I DON'T pretend to know the true reasons
for your painless and untimely passing
Perhaps its a choosing of your very own
from birth to life and gold crested tomb
Your blood flows through the Nile
in blue scarf and flowing lace
a scarab traces your finger tips
I don't intend to shift the drifting sands
that pulse within this great desert land
the bitterness of your love is sweet and dry
A baked nectar in sun-drenched skies
The desert rose has fallen ill
a pale rider grins and rings the bell
And...
for your painless and untimely passing
Perhaps its a choosing of your very own
from birth to life and gold crested tomb
Your blood flows through the Nile
in blue scarf and flowing lace
a scarab traces your finger tips
I don't intend to shift the drifting sands
that pulse within this great desert land
the bitterness of your love is sweet and dry
A baked nectar in sun-drenched skies
The desert rose has fallen ill
a pale rider grins and rings the bell
And...

FORGOTTEN MOMENTS
A MOMENT ago I saw a slice
of time slithering by
it spoke in anguish
for it could not cope
that not a soul knew of it
bland in color it melted
between the cracks of my wall
and across the barrier lay
the shapeless mouths devouring
yesterdays lost moments

DEATH IN LOVE
DEATH came to love -- the day
you tore a page from life
and broke the vow
Stench crawled beneath -- the shadow
and cast a swath of pain
unconditionally allowed
The bee stung my lips -- lit fire
swollen lids became bruised
gnashing teeth in sorrow
And now your ghost -- living flesh
footsteps and breath you take
this day and for many tomorrows
If six feet under -- no chance
fate would seal an opportunity
but your ghost lives for now
