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

" The Madame Mannequin Affair" * part I
entered in mannequins comp
I started with puppetry in puberty
progressing to mannequins and maniacs
lesson learned late, demonic possession
my mistake .. was to connive and conjure
manipulate, animate, hesitate and ponder
from the dark side, from where the unknown reside
to partake and strive, implore upon her
life giving force, birth of a soul .. I ignored
the underworld of deception .. and realms beyond
with regret I pay the ultimate .. in time
I convey to you my somber and sad tale

"Accountability"
media, media in your lens, who's the most receptive of them all?
catastrophic topic, shake your ass alive!
if we're all going to sit and watch, don't cry!
don't wait, before it's too late, participate, don't procrastinate,
so many people, like so many opinions,
react, don't think, just follow me .. minions,
hurry up and get there, now, just stare,
if I had to choose, we all would lose, wait, we do!
mislead, misdirected, let someone else be selected,
propaganda Chandra, pop-stars atop are
media, media, multimedia, what do you say?
I say whatever...

"Only You I Need"
dreams seduced, memories to pull me back,
you within my visions, I hear your laugh
come warm me in my arms, gone lonely nights,
show me what I've missed, your love, my life,
more desire of your touch, never enough,
your perfumed scent, brings me there close .. your touch
your soft lips, your tender taste .. sensual,
reminisce, caressing your face .. beautiful,
my heart to slow, to beat fast .. then again,
your eyes to pull me in, sweet drowning then
my muse whispers lonely to me, "Love me!",
slow my time, lover of mine .....

"A Rose"
my heart .. something dark,
righteous, burning betrayed,
princess pain .. I know so well,
disdaining, insincere ways,
loving lewd, twisted drying shell
wilting, dying ..musky bouquet,
rancid candy, rotten .. randy,
lips of thorns kissed in decay
slow down baby-doll,
pedals of yours shared so nice,
fool around lady infantile,
popular twat .. enticed,
hooked on tears of crocodile,
too many friends sacrificed,
plenty pretends paradise,
smiling sadistic hole ..
you bleed me .....

"Night song"
moon over graves grins,
mystery whispering
chortling my demise,
fright, rampant paranoia,
they'll sing whatever wicked
cries
sick .. insanely pours night,
singing prayers ignored,
bites
dark lyrics weave,
holding my hand,
haunting rhapsody
breathes
hurting heart I hear ..
staccato cackle!
insidious growl ..
wrapping, shackled,
surrendering soul,
harrowing howl,
inhuman pain,
banshees scream,
something's lair .. ...

"Skin perfumed"
soft ebony curls
contrasting full
silken hues, silver light drips
mirrored strings reflecting moist
raining drops, your lingerie
promises peeling, soon melting away
temptress you so offer, bruising tease
desire revealing to play, tempers sway
succulent droplets, honey oozes .. squeeze
woven wet, entwined tongues consumed
goose-bumped skin, batting lashes, Cleopatra eyes
your scent against sensuous skin perfumed
ravenous, hunger my wanton surprise
warm shimmer, timbre, enticing more
supine urge of musky mews
risqué ringlets,...

"Melodies of misery"
tying you bound, crying you sound .. sorry,
I hear your voice whispering thick
fable more mystery, you will not last
pray fool, your history disappears
your blood sprays in an arch, rivulets splash
wash the clues and hide away the fears
you're leaving me tonight, spoken without
show me how you love me, when you're with him
more deceiving, promise your last kiss shall ..
my hand cups her .. lipstick smeared
beating heart throbs, tears she feels
being careful, your...

"When you're me"
what I say, is what you pray.. this our way
my sweet flirt, we'll pretend it doesn't hurt
our precious love
yearning more
luscious us
our past forgotten
so we believed
forgetting, gone everything
this world wrong
writing love songs, inviting you I sing
beautiful smile, tender lips, pleasures bring
holding you
bodies askew
always new
opened up, showing love, between us trust
again we need, when you leave, don't ask why
believing so far, together we are
bringing along we knew, drowning so long
our past...

Forgotten dreams
enchanting seductress weaving
smiling, beguiling beauty through
tormenting masquerade belies
phantom mistress pervades my sighs
when taunting seems a tease
my ghost drifts away to leave
then haunting dreams rendezvous so fond
tempting me to follow you beyond
your spirit revolves too many
temptress, succubus you descend
book of shadows inherit plenty
deceitful, Cleopatra you pretend
webs of mystery of your return
seer of the past,...

"Follow me alone"
revised
court committed, asylum bound, submissive frown
last dance others, sycophants stutter, past chance implied
the judge self-righteous, evaluations, parole denied
just another rant, passionate chants ..enhanced
rhyme slants try, surrounding souls, slithering too sly
too many wounds, sad clowns, buffoons, surrealism soon
wild demon eyes, knife-stares, panic faster
cell doors bang, waking nightmares, manic laughter
disrespect, that's all that's left, imperfect
emotions pause, rampant fears since calls
done, bent ever...

"Dark house"
muffled murmurs, creaks .. the past lives here old
silence grows, it has always been ..how it comes
the entity shuffles, whispers felt from
another realm , beware, this house is cold
dark is another world, foul this one
shadows shift, shadows pulse, my eyes play false?..
heartbeat heard, slow to sleep
violence stirred, death it seeks
cries, chills again within
reoccurring scenes, unforgiving sin
imprinting disturbed, the past alive
night dream to hover, specter to seem
coming back a loud crash, pray I survive
fright pulling...
