POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
So Sick
I relish the hurricane on my face
while the white hot lightning strikes a fire near me
So why can't I move?
I'm so sick
I find Jacob's Ladder
Let me be, murderer
I lay beneath your tempest feet
I long to hurl thunderbolts in your black disease
Tumbleweeds in my hair
Flies in my soup
I'm trembling out of my burning skin
I rip the commotion off my face
Let me screech in your brain, murderer
Frantic bones dig graves
Dripping red raindrops stain my nails
I'm so sick
My hair is a powering rage
Curls of flaking flesh on my tired...

Bring It
Who the fuck want beef?
UPS drama straight to yo front do
you take yourself way too seriously
you fuckin' delirious
don't try to bring me down with your
pre-school shit, a, b, c, d, e, f, fuck you
I renounce that shit
been thru too many trips
brick after brick fallin' on me
too much for you to understand, trick
frump on a log, even if a frog kissed you
you'd still be ugly inside and out, doo doo
brown like the stain on yo panties
wear a bra granny
keep yo trap zipped if ya can't be a lady
you too damn shady
wake your damn ass up...

Watch Me, Fall
A ship with ancient sails, creeps
unknowingly, to the edge of the world
cascading to death, on the head of a pyramid statue
the mysterious prodigy to night
Ship, sail into the mouth of eternity
Ship, beware. Ship, survive. Ship, cease.
Do not disappear with the tousled waterfall
into a serene blackness
onto the edge of nothingness
Ship, pull back. Ship, wake up. Ship, open your eyes.
nearer and nearer
under the pretentious sky
sail a last sail, ancient dwelling
jagged rocks can't save fate
speak to the shiny, black sea
become a...

Femme Fatale
I am a dagger, drizzling, in mystery.
Strange creature. Alluring creature. Seductive creature.
A fiery rebel lives in me.
Fangs sink deep, to rip you, eagerly.
Luscious, Egyptian eyes of night,
burning by candlelight.
Gaze deep, into my sensuous aura, I dare you.
I cannot be forsaken.
I pierce the night, with your blood.
Red chiffon touch, teases your skin, hysterical.
How do my wings feel?
Kiss the taste of blood, red lips, dripping
from my sultry mouth.
Swim to the curve of my hips.
Crawl to the arch of my back.
I am the...

Nine, Eleven
The world cries from a grievance.
It's upon us again, the heavy burden of sadness, anger and confusion.
The wrath of political anger, racism, and unpredictable power has us bewildered, once again.
Together, America's soul, has been broken.
A tortured stranger with a vicious plan to erase our lives brings back countless tears to many.
A lonely stranger with no heart, no compassion, and no remorse has pulled the rug from under many.
A life we knew to be good and familiar.
Do we just act like nothing ever happened?
Like our past can disappear without a...

Thievery Untold
What's pumping through our vein
blood, blood, red blood
insidious pain
a double-edged sword, stained
too deep, no twist remains
fallible error to the brain
what's the point to reproduce seeds?
flourish, flourish, seed flourish
when flesh of familiar flesh
rape meticulous youth
surreal impetuousness
a fight to the unconsciousness
rape of innocent flesh
rape of thoughts
rape of dreams, smothered blood clots
rape of inner voice and choice
who's the breeder of trust?
inner voice, inner voice, listen, inner voice ...
