POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
mercy is, as mercy does, wandering the wild, the stars are eyes watching you, a breath upon a cloud, two white doves, two white wings, to carry you away to a land in memory, a land in memory *Patti Smith/L.Kaye

" A Pirate's Fate"
the sun sets.. casting long shadows against the deck from webbing and rigging above
moonraker fills and puffs.. clapping sky
nervous and without order, sea-birds fly and shriek in disarray
waves before shine polished burls of orange glass
shimmering to hypnotize our departed twilighted day
caught in time, we're not blind to the coming wrath
porpoise no longer race beside, vanishing from her starboard.. suddenly from fast to gone
sail starts to slap the jackstay against the yard.. the bow's cadence becomes...

"Nature's Colored Collision"
entered in " the beautiful things' comp
surrounded isle in silhouetted palm trees
twilight wraps rock in throbbing contrast
stark unease in tropics southerly breeze
Caribbean gels transform deepened swells
ebbing slow pulse pours upon darkened sands ashore
loud against flamingo feathered flesh
biting mirrored moon in cool shaded curls
slewing swoons shadow stealth .. caressing wet
infectious din it's own symphony that swirls
colors collide and camouflage in nature's nest
jungle vibrates life, exotic birds, tree-climbers ...

"Silver's Lust Of His Lover Red In Black"
entered in ML's 'if colors could speak" comp
I'm not my brother.. with so many shades in between
he's faded; unlike him, I..
whom reflect wet gray, shining a gleam that strays mean
as sharpened shards of a mirror
are viewed carving and skewed
a shattered puzzle to shred and nuzzle the spattered dead
should I be shearing scissors? .. honed so sharp
or a spear against the pallid skin and bone?
stab and sob .. silver glint .. I sever skin
stab and sob .. sliding...

"Pussy and the Cock"
entered in ML's (pussy and cock) comp.
I run this hen-house; I've a harem of hens
no Minnie-mouse, or balls of yarn to play
I'm use to two in the bush, devour another lover sour-puss
three blind.. and tree climbs consume your day
claws and paws, puss-in-boots, pussy enthralls proof
gnaw, bruise and pause, but do not wring my chickens necks
do not break, nor forsake my precious pecks
your feline fangs.. cluck.. cluck.. I'll fly your fur
purr-fect partridge please your putang
call me rooster-ride and pecking pride
I'll be your...

"Love You Curse"
raptured love, you are sure my heart is owned
to break this spell.. my soul in time away..
captured thus.. two stars lure, cry dark alone
so take this well and cry old crime you play
you make this hell, so die apart unknown
unspoken more, broken promises pour
forsaken wish I tell.. try sins sublime
subtlety.. confess my love, fear you may..
say unto me.. a curse.. forever mine..
"I love you!".. then fade away again.. pray
denied with time, no other I shall find
my spirit within overcomes regret.. when
you've never left.. pretend.. pain...

gravity pulls photonic light fleeing fierce flight
backwards flash.. for no escaping, fracturing funnel form

"Uncle Misha"
Mikhail Kalashnikov, designer of the AK-47 assault rifle said he was proud of his bronze bust installed in his native village of Kurya in the Siberian region of Altai . He said newlyweds bring flowers to the bust. " They whisper' Uncle Misha, wish us happiness and healthy kids," he said. "What other gun designer can boast of that?"
Uncle Misha .. whisper us .. the chatter of death
we conquer but with the trigger .. matters nothing less
opposing people, their beliefs .. other than ours
intimidation, murder .. now we hold the power
corpses piled high,...

" Lost"
I'm in such a funk.. thick, like a fog
enwrapping.. shunting, sick, a black wall
I need a warm light.. so I can breathe
just a hint of hope.. I'll crawl.. something
writing, words.. sometimes.. not enough..

"Your Eyes"
connected eyes, wanton need
delicious pools to drown my soul
colors of blue love, your haunting hue
your hypnotic stare .. captures me
imbues my heart, surrendering
in delirium .. of tears of joy
your smiling eyes melt to breathe
batting lashes .. of promises shy
your downward glance betrays
your perfect cries, your attempt
to hide your indelible gaze
angel spheres of heaven sent
orbs of shining stars portray
my only love .. I can see
(entered in for your eyes only comp)
delicious pools to drown my soul

your perfect cries, your attempt

"Madame Mannequin Affair" part II
don't I always oblige you? .. amazed, I improvise too
incognito, amused .. I'm glad your wigs attach
convenient head pop, look up at me, you seem .. detached
draw me in, alluring, enchanting me more, lured within
whatever's in vogue, as if you know, let's put on a show
walking that walk, swishing that sway .. down the runway
work that wig, twerk that with .. jerking that jig
now let's do it again, pretend it's your grave you dig
searching that soul, lost spirits of this world you'll hold
mausoleums, tombstones and crypts, it's your graveyard...
