POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I am on a journey… with my work, my explorations, and a few sad stories. I travel with a suitcase full of outrageous blessings. I am on a quest for truth, beauty and quiet joy. I am an artist, a writer, an explorer. ~unknown~

I wish we could play here fourever
getting lost
in the imagination
vivid
child's play
everything is larger
than life
we hide from zombies
we have the most
powerful behind us
utilizing their abilities
to save ourselves
Sonic
whose speed is unmatched
we fly
leap
take down anything
in our path
remotely evil
scary
teddy bear
becomes a basketball
recliner
place to jump to new heights
for that dunk
earning us one hundred
million points
if we do it just so
he always...

encapsulated
where her journey began
a mystery
wind took her small frame
still full of color
and vibrancy
whimsical flight
soaring
her colors slowly
fading to a golden brown
wing of hope
lifted and swirled
she holds fast to her seed
she is life
having survived a warm
wistful summer
of extravagance
against so much blue
sun kissed
silky with green
let loose
spear in the coolness
of autumn
with no set direction
she flutters ...

unknowns
how beautiful and frightening
they are
we may tremble
by the mere idea of them
they start a quaking inside
that can not dissipate
out of fear
of standing motionless
pulled towards them
in blatant curiosity
how far will this one
take her
will she survive it
will it hurt
will love be there
her mind a cluster of
gnarled thoughts
twisted into a ball
seeking their way
towards her feet
beseeching her to take that step
to hurl herself...

Winter night
snow glistened glitter
half moon rising in the sky
great horned owls hoot

he came in
a slow moving storm
voice that reminds you
of something so soothing
free of form
warm honey
"come in, she said I'll give ya shelter from the storm."
full of openness
she studies his hands
stories on the tips
of every finger
steady
"come in, she said I'll give ya shelter from the storm.
his gaze is long
waiting for any discrepancy

My heart
her heart
isn't perfect
it is layered with emotions
pulsing through thick veins
it has been punished
brutally
it has felt utter joy
kindness
love
there are times
she is shaken
by its depths
memories are carried
in the deep wells
pumping life into each
sacred moment
many times she
has wondered
marveled at this
muscle
that feels too much
its desire to go on
without knowing
how or why
it still beats
rhythmically ...

Tempest
she wants the words
to drip sweet as honey
onto waiting ears
thrumming with desire
to know more
sit by her shores
sift in her sands
feel the never ending tides
her sweet salty breath
her heart a tempestuous
storm that wants
no boundaries
come swim in her sea
of self awareness
let not the depth of her
soul keep you kicking
hard for her shores
there is no releasing
once you have become
enmeshed in her net
of desire
meant only for your
learning
...

harnessed by the light of day

Dear Summer,
how quickly you ran ahead of me
long legs so beautifully kissed by the sun racing through fields of flowers
warm grass in all shades of emerald
cool rocky rivers
beckoning bare feet to wade
glowing in the hot sun
her dress drenched
in summers perfume
door ajar
autumn came almost overnight
blowing cold breezes
through the eves
whistling around corners
encouraging the need
for soft warm comfort
fire is sparked
in a glowing chimney
black charred with age ...

Forever My Sky Man
she dreams of you
in long corridors
where you'd expect warmth
but there is none
where lights are too bright
bringing water to her eyes
a distant slam of a heavy metal door
then absolute silence
she's alone
except for the memory of your smile
that left her astounded
by its mere presence
how warm you still were
how peaceful in those last moments
first thoughts were
how dare you
and damn you for looking
so pleased with yourself
you had slipped from this realm
"Death Be...

The Wild Side of Tame
two figures
waiting patiently
for the whisper swish
of a sliding door
rush of cold
upon entering
their eyes bright
their coats glistening
tiny diamonds
gathering
at my feet
beautifully wild
and tame
waiting patiently
for the whisper swish
of a sliding door
rush of cold
upon entering
their eyes bright
their coats glistening
tiny diamonds
gathering
at my feet
beautifully wild
and tame
