POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Satisfaction Guaranteed
I have no patience
for detailed fantasies
or lighting candles
to romance myself
All I need is a few minutes
to recall the thickness of your voice
while you stand behind me
and the sound of your zipper
for detailed fantasies
or lighting candles
to romance myself
All I need is a few minutes
to recall the thickness of your voice
while you stand behind me
and the sound of your zipper

Last Dance is Always Yours
I'm in the corner
watching you kiss her
and I can taste the whiskey
on your lips
feel the insistence of your tongue
Drawn closer, slowly navigate
the dark perimeter of the bar
see how she presses
her breasts against your chest
too far, too many shadows
but I know her nipples are hard
like mine
Broken from my trance
by a voice luring me
to the dance floor
Knock back the rest of my drink
let him take me
where the bass begs
the thrust and sway of my hips
and there's...

Broken from my trance

Knock back the rest of my drink

where the bass begs

Whisper to a Roar
The timbre of your voice
meant only for me
stills me, breathless
coaxes me to writhe
rise up to meet you
melts my inhibitions
into rivulets that quench your thirst
as you feed my hunger
until we distill to nothing
but animal senses
chasing the need
to devour each other
meant only for me
stills me, breathless
coaxes me to writhe
rise up to meet you
melts my inhibitions
into rivulets that quench your thirst
as you feed my hunger
until we distill to nothing
but animal senses
chasing the need
to devour each other

Broken Rear Views and Dirty Headlights
Driving through the night
radio up way too loud
enough to muffle sirens
and cell phone sounds
still can't drown out
what's rolling through my head
question my lack of guilt
for feelings I'm told I shouldn't have
unrestrained by boundaries
Then they play that damn song
the one you turned up for me
no longer in heavy rotation
no expectation of the memory flood
think about turning it off
but my hand doesn't move
so I sing
Everything is swimming
don't know if you even remember
why...

I'm Your Aphrodite
I don't give a fuck
about anything
when I'm basking
in the gleam of your eyes
looking up at me
from between my thighs
like you've unlocked secrets
of the universe
Insecurities be damned
I am beauty
the Goddess of Chubby Tummies
and Round Asses
reveling in the grip of your hands
on fleshy, trembling limbs
controlling my greedy, immodest hips
your tongue worships
torments
demands
Throaty howls
and growling profanity
the essence of sex unleashed
covers your face
hungry lips...

But You Never Really Let Go
They make it look easier
in movies, on TV
painful, sad, but simple
peaceful
No one warns you about the sound
the gurgle and rattle
of last gasping breaths
or that your aunt will urge
her sister's broken body to fight
as if your father hadn't told
the love of his life that it was safe to move on
and you hadn't held her hand
whispering that it would be okay
you'd take care of your dad
You do know to expect the silence
that eventually comes
Some emotion without a name
settled in, burrowed...

Maybe They Mourn You Too
Went for a ride today
on the boardwalk by the bay
passed the beach shared with you
brown grasses swaying in golden sand
grey rocks teased by barely-there waves
half moon hanging in blue sky, sun still dancing on the water
Did you know the gulls call your name?

Giving Up Goes Both Ways
Copper and bile
flavor my rage
rise again in my mouth
and I restrain the urge
to hurl it all at you
because it would only be air
whistling past
your narcissistic ears
Stale sweat scents the air
tells tales of broken promises
another never again
turned to just one more time
that can't be
won't ever be
just one
Hope dries up
crumbles like autumn leaves
in your hands
scatters to the wind
But you don't need us
family is tedious
and expects too much
flavor my rage
rise again in my mouth
and I restrain the urge
to hurl it all at you
because it would only be air
whistling past
your narcissistic ears
Stale sweat scents the air
tells tales of broken promises
another never again
turned to just one more time
that can't be
won't ever be
just one
Hope dries up
crumbles like autumn leaves
in your hands
scatters to the wind
But you don't need us
family is tedious
and expects too much

And So it Goes
I'd almost forgotten numb
it's been so long
since I felt the need to bury
instead of sharing every fucking feeling
I could find words for
Until I read yours
And froze as the warmth
of seeing your name
deadened to emptiness
Three scribbled sentences
the epitaph of seven years
it's been so long
since I felt the need to bury
instead of sharing every fucking feeling
I could find words for
Until I read yours
And froze as the warmth
of seeing your name
deadened to emptiness
Three scribbled sentences

Not Enough
Even when I put it in words
I'm not sure
that I've put it in words
I'm not sure
that I've put it in words

Found Your Obituary Online
They gave your ashes to the sea
I whispered goodbye into the salt air
still wondering why you didn't tell me
it came back

still wondering why you didn't tell me
