POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
My poetry and my singing express my deepest emotions, through them, I am able to transmute pain, love, lust, etc. into art.
Frenemy
you were my friend
so you said
little did I know
that you held me
in contempt
you listened to secrets
letting me cry
on your shoulder
all the while
judging me
you used my weakness
enhancing your ego
tearing me down
to prove yourself
superior man
you crushed my illusions
setting them ablaze
failing to realize
you made me stronger
trusting less
you were not my friend
that much is clear
my feelings were real
but you were false
epic betrayer
you are gone now
and good...

Questions
where did you go?
you disappeared
from my life
without a trace
or goodbye
why did you leave?
you never said
and I never
got the chance
to ask
what did I do?
I did not
deserve this
I was always there
for you
when you went
you took
a part of me
with you
forever gone
gone
you disappeared
from my life
without a trace
or goodbye

forever gone

Soulsight
behind these eyes
blue pools
are secrets
that you will never know
dreams that will remain illusory
these azure depths
cannot show my Self
walls upon walls shall I build
to protect the core
of who I am
windows of the soul
maybe
but the shutters are down
and the glass is tinted black
blue pools
are secrets
that you will never know
dreams that will remain illusory
these azure depths
cannot show my Self
walls upon walls shall I build
to protect the core
of who I am
windows of the soul
maybe
but the shutters are down
and the glass is tinted black

A Dream
a dream
I had
the other night
you were with me
and laughing
my heart
fluttered
at the sight of your smile
joy rose
I felt
the heat
of your body
laying on mine
felt your lips
caress my skin
sensuously stroking tongue
building desire
my hand
guiding yours
to my sweet depths
liquid fire spreading
from core
igniting passion
I gasped
sudden epiphany
I love you
within the dream
I whisper it
you whisper back
sharing heart and soul
embracing us ...

i listen
drifting in and out
of consciousness
don't won't can't
of constraints
fighting to be free

Nothing Lasts Forever
You told me once
nothing lasts forever
I did not believe you.
I believed in fairy tales
Elf and dragon and phoenix
I did not believe you.
I believed in dreams
From which to never wake
I did not believe you.
I believed that True Love
Conquers all with a kiss
I did not believe you.
I believed in words
Saying I love you
I did not believe you.
I believed in hands
Touching me in secret places
I did not believe you.
I believed in giving all
and all would be given
I did not believe you.

Silence
silence
fills me
pushing you out
spreading ice
tendrils
entomb
protect
peaceful in here
alone with myself
pain muted

Ignis Fatuus
Ignis Fatuus
foolish fire
illusion
delusion
which leads astray
surrender brings agony
succumbing to madness
Dionysus’ flames
licking at my flesh
and bones
igniting the darkness
within my soul
riotous Bacchanalia
thrusting
writhing
on Pan’s phallus
seeking abandon
and oblivion
lust’s inferno
conflagration of the gods
consuming my heart
at Eros’ pyre
weeping
keening
over love’s devouring
and loss
precious gift
scattered upon fleeting
Zephyr’s wings ...

Dreaming
sleeping beauty
like
I slumbered
sixteen years
waiting
for life to begin
dreaming
of
tenderness
love
passion
someone who would see
me
and not be afraid
of darkness
and light
reawakened
with
sweet kiss
upon soft lips
breathing
in your essence
dreaming
of
honor
fidelity
truth
someone I could trust
with
my secret self
my heart
and soul
sleeping
still
eyes closed
frozen in time
alone
waiting forever

Possibilities
one day
the door was open
possibilities
what might be
now nevermore
watch me
as I walk out your door
my back
the last you'll see
of me
possibilities
what might have been
has ceased
to be
the door was open
possibilities
what might be
now nevermore
watch me
as I walk out your door
my back
the last you'll see
of me
possibilities
what might have been
has ceased
to be
