POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I eat, sleep and breathe poetry. My dream was always to see my name in print below something I wrote. I'm happy to say I'm living my dream since I not only got published but became a professional writer.

a simple whack or two
with the ax wouldn't do
she kept on whacking
until she was through
reducing the family
to only two

times have changed-
you have your life
your wife and soon
to be born baby
don't blame me
if i've found happiness
in his arms and love
in his approach-
i need love like
all the rest

magic of the rose
the bees go buzz, buzz, buzz
and do what they must do
to polinate the roses
the faerie waits until they're through
to add a bit of magic
she will give the rose a kiss or two
not even the rain can ruin
the magic of the rose
for when a faerie kisses it
the magic seals itself inside
so when you smell the roses
you can feel the faeries pride
and do what they must do
to polinate the roses
the faerie waits until they're through
to add a bit of magic
she will give the rose a kiss or two
not even the rain can ruin
the magic of the rose
for when a faerie kisses it
the magic seals itself inside
so when you smell the roses
you can feel the faeries pride

blue
blue, blue, blue
it's such a beautiful hue
i love blue
except when i've got the blues
blue, blue, blue
i've always loved blue it's true
i've heard of roses that color too
blue, blue, blue
it's much more than just a hue
it could be true blue like my love for you
it's such a beautiful hue
i love blue
except when i've got the blues
blue, blue, blue
i've always loved blue it's true
i've heard of roses that color too
blue, blue, blue
it's much more than just a hue
it could be true blue like my love for you

i could write
a poem
as i envision
your handsome face
but i'm alone
with only a pen
and a book
of matches
to my name
what a dilemma
so many words
so little space

how do you say so long
how do you say
so long to someone
who has given you
so much joy and happiness
for sixteen years
who now lays near-lifeless
in your aching arms
i can not say goodbye, dear one
i will not say goodbye
no, not now or ever
just rest well, my sweet angel
and know you were my love
yes, you were my life
so long to someone
who has given you
so much joy and happiness
for sixteen years
who now lays near-lifeless
in your aching arms
i can not say goodbye, dear one
i will not say goodbye
no, not now or ever
just rest well, my sweet angel
and know you were my love
yes, you were my life

i shall endure all suffering
i shall endure all suffering
for i prefer it to forgetting you
and though chance may take me elsewhere
i will always be close to you
you'll never be alone again
for i am here and i am your friend
yet if we should go our separate ways
i'll cherish our memories until the end
for i prefer it to forgetting you
and though chance may take me elsewhere
i will always be close to you
you'll never be alone again
for i am here and i am your friend
yet if we should go our separate ways
i'll cherish our memories until the end

in a moment of temptation
in a moment of temptation
i prayed for my salvation
lured in by your attention
and absolute perfection
to do something very foolish
knowing better but not to do it
something seemingly so harmless
for your flirting never quit
i have no right to love you, dear
i would never claim i did
but you told me that you loved me
still my love for you i hid

but you told me that you loved me
still my love for you i hid

be a rebel
be a rebel
if that's what
you're meant to be
let no one tread
upon your reverie
if writing's
in your bones
i pray don't leave
those precious
words alone
don't listen
to others
o u g h t s
and s h o u l d s
when they are meant
for another's good
if you've a talent
develop it much
and be sure to give it
your own special touch

you are it
you are it
the one who's to die for
with eyes that dance and arms
that wrap around me covering me
like a cape
lifting me to new heights
you are it
the one i want to share
my days with whose spirit lives
inside these words and
smiling face creeps
into my dreams speaking tender love words
silently stealing a kiss
the one who's to die for
with eyes that dance and arms
that wrap around me covering me
like a cape
lifting me to new heights
you are it
the one i want to share
my days with whose spirit lives
inside these words and
smiling face creeps
into my dreams speaking tender love words
silently stealing a kiss

to lose at love
to lose at love
is not the end
it is the beginning
of a new life
a new freedom
i am free
to go after someone
i can trust to love me
like i want to be loved
to lose at love
is not the end
is not the end
it is the beginning
of a new life
a new freedom
i am free
to go after someone
i can trust to love me
like i want to be loved
to lose at love
is not the end

almost an affair
if we turn this thing we have
into a sordid love affair
then we may never
know what we
have missed by never
having kissed or soiled sheets
in rooms we'd just as
soon forget when love
walks out on all fours
into a sordid love affair
then we may never
know what we
have missed by never
having kissed or soiled sheets
in rooms we'd just as
soon forget when love
walks out on all fours
