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.

wanton women
with wicked ways
want what weary women
wish wouldn't wander
while wed
wondering what webs
weaving wanderers weave
while wooing

autobiography
i admit it-
i wanna be hip
i've been known
to write poems
on paper napkins
in restaurants
when i didn't have
a piece of
scrap paper handy
i've helped
start programs
worked real hard
and got some promotions
i hate rudeness
in others and people
who pretend they're hip
by gossiping
yes, i admit-
i wanna be hip
i detest cruelty
to animals and
don't like
saying goodbye
i have as heroes
evan hunter, bob dylan,
lawrence ferlinghetti,
john irving and
kris kristofferson-

grand seductress
death wears
a red dress
as she turns
a cold cheek
to the wind
swaying to
an island song

erato
pay homage to erato
for she plays her lyre
long into the night
her music as sweet
as the fragrance
of her crown of roses
the muse of love poetry
her inspiration lays
in waiting
for the poet's repertoire
for she plays her lyre
long into the night
her music as sweet

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
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

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
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

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
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

and i've been swiftly blown about
