POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Infidelity
Once upon a snowstorm
Your lips begot a kiss
And pressed, it was, to the column of my throat
Our eyes reflected icicles, mirroring wild winter
Or each other, sharp and brutal
Cheeks all rose with chill and thrill
Arms enveloping
You wore perfume of after-rain
I of smoke and secrets long forgotten
Stale scents, nonsense
Once upon a snowstorm
Flakes fell in our eyes
Glazing over guilt
Till sight was stolen and we saw only songs
Sung in silence anyway, borne from both our lungs
Songs of youth and yearning
For what we had and...

Sing
My cheeks blush cherry red, and my eyes
they glaze like water down windows
when you speak to me, like so
A chance meeting means more
to one who holds you
in head and heart
So please, for
me, just
sing
they glaze like water down windows
when you speak to me, like so
A chance meeting means more
to one who holds you
in head and heart
So please, for

The Spider Bites
I awake during darkest night
thinking of him, again, again
His voice vibrates like a song
in my mind
Nerve endings spasm, drunk on the memory of
kisses never known
I feel a spider working inside me,
lacing love notes across my heart, and I
open up, relish the bittersweet bite
Venom soaks through my veins
Eyes glaze with discontent, and
yearning, to touch, just to touch him
One so cynical as I, however
understands the webs the spider weaves
are full of falsehoods
Right though they are in their feeling,
it’s a river that flows...

A Day of Love
Dawn, dawn
and I’m feeling it again, the
electric loneliness.
Rare is one such as you, who
awakens me on every level, but sleeps
in blissful ignorance.
Release me, and
exit at dusk

Antique Feelings
Lay me down
Dust off my
antique feelings and
carry them close
Entwine your fingers with mine
Hold me tight and
let me love you
again. Because,
after all,
no one else will.
Rightly so
Dust off my
antique feelings and
carry them close
Entwine your fingers with mine
Hold me tight and
let me love you
again. Because,
after all,
no one else will.

Fallout
I have
conversations with my shadow
And tiptoe through the minefield
awaiting the fallout

Self Love
Stinking of sadness and solitude, I melt
into you; fingers like fire on my flesh
Nobody has been this close
Eternal, your touch,
and I am enraptured, hidden by
daydream believing in your heart
Miraculous, this fantasy, fallacy, and I am
caught so tight, captured so I
keep on dreaming
My exodus from isolation
Our bodies intertwined, a
unifying force
Grotesque in its perfection, this
horrible, wonderful love
into you; fingers like fire on my flesh
Nobody has been this close
Eternal, your touch,
and I am enraptured, hidden by
daydream believing in your heart
Miraculous, this fantasy, fallacy, and I am
caught so tight, captured so I
keep on dreaming
My exodus from isolation
Our bodies intertwined, a
unifying force
Grotesque in its perfection, this
horrible, wonderful love

Idle
Dust mites dance on her eyelashes and
spiders spin dreamscapes through her hair
and she idles
while buildings break like bones
around her
Forgotten
in the destruction
of other people's love

Morning, and the pure light of new discovery
illuminates you, impresses you upon my mind
King of melody and motion, you take me
Engaging with your body, encaging with your smile
Moonlight suits you just as well, star silver
calling to the silver star of your name
Lost in flighty fantasies I dream you
entrancing as you are, open but still
intriguing, height and Heaven's scent you bear. And
so it is when in the flesh, rare but real, I find you, my
heart breaks, body shakes; you're even more

Unbridled Dream
Unraveled, her mystery; laid out for all. But
none dare touch, afeared by her
brilliance. She has an energy,
radiant and pure but
isolating.
Dream on, young wonder.
Lose yourself in
exquisite thoughts.
Drain yourself of ruin,
dirt and decay, all
relics of your subconscious mind.
Exist,
and this only, and you will find
meaning.

A poem called Helena
Home, home, so far from here. She is
empty beyond all measure, and
lonely though filled to bursting and befriended by an
eternity of words. Another soul, the same,
nowhere in the grandness of life.
And they fight, just to be, just to be
empty beyond all measure, and
lonely though filled to bursting and befriended by an
eternity of words. Another soul, the same,
nowhere in the grandness of life.
And they fight, just to be, just to be
