POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Fences
When I was a child our yards used to run
Together, mine into
Yours..into
Hers..into
His...into
Their yard.
Now a grown-up I see
That the world has changed;
Fenced off from each other,
From ourselves.
Life was so much simpler when I was a child,
And there were no fences in my way.
Together, mine into
Yours..into
Hers..into
His...into
Their yard.
Now a grown-up I see
That the world has changed;
Fenced off from each other,
From ourselves.
Life was so much simpler when I was a child,
And there were no fences in my way.

Hopeless Love
You do so much to help me,
But that's not what I need.
Your gifts are so beautiful,
For one whom it's unusable.
Don't get me wrong, they're all nice deeds,
Just not what my heartstrings need.
I need to feel your passion for me.
I need to know you'll sacrifice for me.
The risk of losing me should be more
Than the chance your ego will be thrown to the floor.
I'm so sorry I already hurt you there, I didn't realize;
...All this time I've been hurting likewise.
No substance is greater than you;
I just felt that it was no use.
Happy when I'm...
But that's not what I need.

New Friend?
My mind's not capable,
Excitement inescapable;
You've got me all distracted
While your words all refracted
Truths that I am learning
'Bout what love really means.
Time to eat some beans
Cause I'm tired of just surviving;
Always striving, never thriving.
I'm in need of some nutrition;
I choose you as my physician.
Your words are my healing,
To you I am revealing
All the truths that I have hidden.
To most they are unbidden.
I feel they're safe with you,
Perhaps that trust's undue;
But I need you to be real
So I can relearn...

Sorrowful Benevolence
I can make you happy...I'm really good at that.
I will listen when you talk and give you honest, caring feedback.
I will cook you food, feed you fresh bread, yummy things.
I will rub your aching muscles, scratch your back til you fall asleep.
I will love your children and guide them in their growing.
I will give you the space you need to be inside your head.
I will embrace the parts of you that you have trouble accepting in yourself.
I am gifted in other people's happiness; and yet...
I cannot find my own.

Come to Me
Come to me, My Beloved;
My body aches for only you.
You've engaged my inner most places;
Turning me on with your words,
... Your wisdom,
... Your wickedness.
Why must you go away for me?
Were you ever here at all?
My body aches for only you.

Why must you go away for me?

Reflection
I can make you feel desired,
Because you are by me.
Wanting you in your worst way;
I love your humility.
Wanting the part of you you don't like;
I will kiss you where you ache.
I've a fetish for your wounded parts,
My purpose, to show you your strengths.
You have so very many, sadly
Your eyes cannot look upon yourself.
I will be your reflection
Yearning to enlighten...
Can you do the same for me?
Because you are by me.
Wanting you in your worst way;
I love your humility.
Wanting the part of you you don't like;
I will kiss you where you ache.

My Name is Whatever You Want it to Be
My character really is a character. It has its very own wardrobe filled with many different costumes, each with it's corresponding production for the appropriate audience. You see, I am a reluctant actor. I've grown accustomed to playing my parts and I really don't mind so much. Very few people are allowed back stage. In the beginning I let many more visit my dressing room; but time and again I learned that the audience really prefers my characters. Most people believe they want to know the actors themselves, but just glimpses of reality show the opposite to be true. So, I will carry...

Dissension
I miss you, My Love.
Addicted to your destructive ways;
You disappear when I'm happy.
I've become accustomed to your company;
Contentment is a sad parting.
I long for your suductive kiss!
Maybe happiness is not for me.
Satisfaction is nice, a decent goal;
But Darling you, you fulfill my soul!

Work Doodies
In an effort to be more lighthearted...
In the middle of my shift
The familiar tingle hits;
...Gotta take a shit!
Public pooping is a drag
So this is why I brag...
The private loo is free;
I fist pump the air with glee!
I can fart anonymously,
Stink confidently.
Hoping no one's waiting...
That would be implicating💩😳

Shit moment
Sometimes the depression
Sneaks past the medication.
Trying to embrace
What I can't efface.
Searching for something to clear the haze
Of the pointless despair, my constant malaise.
Trying not to use substance for hope;
Maybe writing lines will help me to cope.
Tired of all the ads for shit we don't need:
Cool sculpting and Botox and skin tightening
Telling me of all my deficits
And what I can spend to be relevant.
And here's another thing that's bothering me:
School's got my kid testing constantly.
Although I know he is smart......
Sneaks past the medication.

Incarnation
Tired of feeling desperation,
Don't want to live in automation,
Waking up from hibernation,
No room left for hesitation,
Coming through a transformation,
Eyes wide open in realization,
Must embrace my reclamation,
Won't give up to resignation,
But fight on for restoration!

Wildfire
The aura that surrounds me is really quite morose;
I need you to hold me, pull me in real close.
Whisper in my ear all the dirty things you'll do,
Wake me from the slumber I'm accustomed to.
Show me that you want me with insuppressable desire,
Sparks and heat igniting like a wildfire.
Come, seek me out...I'm what your body needs.
Don't be shy; you'll be rewarded with my extraordinary deeds!
