POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
am Fickle I am Fate - a Feenix in flight - direction Destiny.. [been known to curtsy and bow in admiration, amusement] "Well look who I ran into, crowed Confidence" 'please' flirted Fate, this was meant to be."
Memo
I didn't forget yesterday - you only remembered today
the promises you performed predicted pages of the past
News nobody notices – neglected noise nobody needs
Articulating arrogance audited to an absent audience
Will I remember tomorrow – to forget you one day
Tame tempers & teach thoughts to trace new timelines
Editing events eradicating every evidence, eventually
Metastasizing the memory merely to a moment to manage
the promises you performed predicted pages of the past
News nobody notices – neglected noise nobody needs
Articulating arrogance audited to an absent audience
Will I remember tomorrow – to forget you one day
Tame tempers & teach thoughts to trace new timelines
Editing events eradicating every evidence, eventually
Metastasizing the memory merely to a moment to manage

Blame it on my Shame
blame it on my name......
so you sacrifice my surrender to shame
never neglecting to nominate my name
beginning the brandishing of my blame
fearing the fiction finds fortune or fame
name shame, take the blame...
thinking in theory this will keep me tame
spinning stories that never stay the same
caught up in confusion with which it came
generating the gatecrashing of your game
blame it on your shame....
so you simply blame it on my name
faking your shame as part of the game
as fame returned from where it came
no truth is tame...

Sidewalks & Shadows
the shadow stalks the sidewalk
tracking the time till midnight
self seeking to find the lost child
inside the man who feels the loss
the shadow of a man
still at loss as a child
scared by the shadows
that seek the sidewalk
tracking the time till midnight
self seeking to find the lost child
inside the man who feels the loss
the shadow of a man
still at loss as a child
scared by the shadows
that seek the sidewalk

Hide and Seek
So you’re on the one side and I am on the other....and we’re both looking in
Wondering just how to find our way back to begin
We’ve been casually captive, captively caged, conditioned by this charade
Finalising even formalising the field trip that starts the end
And even those silences, they no longer speak
Because the noise once meant there was something I should hear
But this tongue no longer teases - no longer talks
And my ears deafened by simple defeat
And the cablewire that was once our connection
Serenades...

I admit
I sat back {for once} denouncing another day
Occupied composing the profound things I would say
Whilst waiting patiently for emotion to go away
Once again uninvited & the cause of the delay
Truth is I’m tongue tied and speechless even silent
Suddenly aware of how words too can be violent
A casual comment the cause of this very coincident
Leaves me vulnerable honest exposed openly reticent
So simply look me in the eye – it’s all that this will take
if you own up and admit it – I will - it wasn’t all fake
we both can however agree –...

Alphabet Anarchy
Waging war with words and simply sacrificing sentences,
wrecking vowels into orphans and killing constanants
while leaving labels of letters lost in a dyslexic mess,
Watching them now vulnerable without their orchestrated wit
the alphabet executed an anarchy inside my head
Satisfied with the slaughter of the syllables,
spelling out a dictionary of cacophony and chaos
Sending out a clear message in simple hieroglyphs
States the story of the dead, those who lay speechless
surrounded by silence - there was nothing to save...

The epidemic of your epic evasion
Embroiders the environment evoking
The embellishment of an encounter
Evidently emphasized in the evidence
Engaging & editing, evicting & evading
Employing no empathy enforcing no emotion
Exploiting the execution of your entrance
Exaggerating the experience of your exile
You engineer & endorse, endeavour & endure
Effectively erasing, eradicating effortlessly
You execute eliminate, extract the essential
Exclude the expectation and establish the end.

Late night Bright Light
Last night’s shadow no longer stains the silence
And surrenders, still scarred by first light..
And surrenders, still scarred by first light..

everything
nothing holds no [ prisoner]
and surrenders to none
yet nothing says so much
as in the silence it stains
and surrenders to none
yet nothing says so much

Directions
your echo imprints an answer
graciously guiding me to the light
navigating the very whisper that
follows and finds me back home

Proof
I will be the marrow
to your leukemic existence
I will be the bones
Left cold and cured only by your death
I will be the only clue
of the evidence that was once you
to your leukemic existence
I will be the bones
Left cold and cured only by your death
I will be the only clue
of the evidence that was once you

Words
Whilst I wistfully wonder what to write
Wishing & willing what wanders my way
Welcoming what will be worthy & win
What words will I write?
Weaving whispers within webs
Whilst wrapping wishes on walls
Whilst we wait we then wonder
What words will I write?
Will they be of the wisdom you want
warrant the wait in their weight?
Well what you see written
Are the only words I can write…
Wishing & willing what wanders my way
Welcoming what will be worthy & win
What words will I write?
Weaving whispers within webs
Whilst wrapping wishes on walls
Whilst we wait we then wonder
What words will I write?
Will they be of the wisdom you want
warrant the wait in their weight?
Well what you see written
Are the only words I can write…
