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.
declaration of love
oh little trembling bee
i am finely tuned in
(to your wavelength)
and turned on by
your swaying body
thus i announce my desire
little bee my heart racing
at your name's mention
pale faced and weak in the
knees (when you're near)
i love your sweet glances
with all the chances
we are taking while trying
to disguise our inclination
toward one another
oh my little honey bee
you seem to stare so curiously
you're my soul's happiness
and it's torment supreme
oh little trembling bee-
hover over me
...

it was good (to be bad)
to return to center stage again
i'd repeat that worn-out lie
to relive the warmth and pleasure
i would sulk, pout or cry
i would've preferred a gentle hand
with an occasional pat on the back
but rather than get indifference
i learned it was good to be bad

to hold you
to hold you in my arms, my dear
to kiss your lips so sweet
to hear your heart beat
next to mine would be pure ecstacy
but while a moment's pleasure
with you would be divine
it could never be worth the pain
we would be sure to find
though sometimes my heart is heavy
i have said goodbye to misery
for our friendship is a precious thing
and a friend you have indeed
to kiss your lips so sweet
to hear your heart beat
next to mine would be pure ecstacy
but while a moment's pleasure
with you would be divine
it could never be worth the pain
we would be sure to find
though sometimes my heart is heavy
i have said goodbye to misery
for our friendship is a precious thing
and a friend you have indeed

dirty word
we're gonna talk to the menfolk
yeah, we're gonna say how we feel
we're sure gonna draw them closer
just to make things nice and real
what's the use of a voice if it can't be heard
we feel conncected when we're uttering words
if you're only thinking it it isn't real
so why don't they just tell us how they feel
loving words are the sweetest words
the dearest a woman has ever heard
i don't know why it just is so
some men make talk a dirty word

we do not write about
we do not write about
what we do not know
the so-called visionaries
in a frantic world
savoring chances taken
mourning lost opportunities
advancing with unmatched passion
a mere reflection of our double-life
we do not write about
what we do not know
but of the esoteric
world inside our heads
of displaced bullets
or the bothersome sometimes
bull-headed black holes in our souls
we do not write about
what we do not know
but of pain and suffering
or pleasure (possibly pure ecstasy)
and sometimes someone listens...

loving the wrong man
loving the wrong man
is what i do best-
the distant man
the man already taken
the forbidden one
who can't quite
get it (whatever
it is)
right at home
and you (with all
of your charms)
i'll probably end up
disliking you too
after i have gotten
all of the love
that i can get (although
i can't even imagine
that now) as we stand here
puffing on
our cigarettes
alone for
the very first time
making polite conversation
and sharing a
few good stares

you'll do what you've always done
you'll do what you've always done
stay too long
pretending you're a suitor
or a knight in shining armor
and i'm a damsel in this dress
what a mess we've made of things
you've been content to play the part
of an ill-suited lover
in a prime-time t.v. sitcom
and i've been swiftly blown about
wearing my heart on my sleeve

i'm glad you're here (with me
i'm glad you're here (with me
and i with you) warm and
waiting wondering
what might happen next
is what was meant to be
between two lovers anyway
what of the words spoken
in haste never matters now
with gentle fingers probing
moving slowly downward
to regions in between
to touch honey to drown
with lips tender to warm
the breath of all breaths
and words love comes in
gasps and whispers i'm glad
you're here with me
and i with you
holding you beholding you
in love's sweet aftermath...

a woman's face wears many masks
a woman's face wears many masks
her precious secrets to conceal
so a man may sit and ponder
if what he sees is truly real
he's a very clear-headed man
who takes his time and sets his goal
he's sure to see the masks diverge
as he taps on the door to her soul
her precious secrets to conceal
so a man may sit and ponder
if what he sees is truly real
he's a very clear-headed man
who takes his time and sets his goal
he's sure to see the masks diverge
as he taps on the door to her soul

i envy the woman whose lips
i envy the woman whose lips
your ample mouth has gently kissed
whose very look enslaves your soul
i ponder yet all i have missed
i envy her still whose arms
press you to her breasts so tenderly
who shares your secret hopes and dreams
and keeps your fire burning steadily
i envy the woman whose bed
your long lean body slumbers in
forgive my heart's dear love desires
that which others consider a sin
i envy the woman i don't even know
who possesses what i can only desire
to be empowered by someone so fine
i...

our fate was to part
i do not speak
nor dream of you
seldom do i
think of you
but when i see you
my mind is scheming
my heart is bleeding
and i am praying
my eyes won't betray me
for my temptation
is so great
for a moment
i long for
your tender embrace
for a moment
i long to touch
your sweet face
for a moment i think of
your warm lips on mine
as lastly i dream
of our bodies entwined
then i remember
the lies you so
frequently told
ah, i remember
the nights and how
they grew...

flooding river
forbidden waters
makes one weak
a drowning man
knows no peace
flooding river
winding down
like a warden
grants no release
flooding river
gonna take my home
leave me naked
and alone
mean old river
so unkind
shows no mercy
leaves nothin' behind
makes one weak
a drowning man
knows no peace
flooding river
winding down
like a warden
grants no release
flooding river
gonna take my home
leave me naked
and alone
mean old river
so unkind
shows no mercy
leaves nothin' behind
