POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Surreal, erotic, fun. Compelled to write poetry, prose, and themed lists. Can't help myself writing defines a large of who I am.
Sudden Rhapsody
I drew lines around me and you crossed each one.
Then like a sparrow you fell.
So I scooped you off the streets and
into my danger zone called a heart.
Our relationship held shadows at first.
Each of us closeting your tender stripes of pain.
Then one morning you sang to me in a clear, honest voice.
And all by defenses bottomed out.
I've acquired a taste for you darling.
A songbird that collasped upon my lap, my life.
Our cherished sex is unnameable and fulfilled each night.
Though I may be on top, baby I love you from the bottom

tangled knots
a heart that's been used
is covered with brambles
searching for her true muse
a heart that's been used
never forgets the abuse
her life in shambles

The Falconer
sitting on the floor at barnes & noble
wearing black cashmere sweater, thigh hi
brown leather boots...the same leather and
color as his dicipline "helper"
she looks up and quickly averts her eyes
scribbles in a slim notebook
biting her lips
...
slowly he primes her
sharpens his pen
his eyes eat her desire
her bowed head, flushed throat
he smiles inside:
introspective poets are
prime submissives
3 months later:
thea is at the proper weight
her lips plump, trained to remain...

learning to make love
in the sweetest pith
of my pain
i learn to sleep inside
your obsession
i've developed a desire
for the edge of pleasure
the lingering tattoos
of your poetry
your voice an exquisite
taste in my mouth
holy and undeniable
baptizes me
again
and
again
{pom poem- after Ahavati comment - Ty A.

my turn
always wanted to be
the lover to end it
the cool one
unbothered by
pleas of lets-make-it-work
collecting tears in a glass vase
I prayed: dear God, make me
David, let me slay the
uber-lover with golden hands,
a mouth to rival Zeus
allow me to pull the sky over lover's
arrogant head become a nightingale
singing my lover into submission
leave love marks wherever I please
until the flesh is abalone shiny
electric, teased to perfection
and one bite on a trembling lip
becomes fatal

When I was Lore
have you ever felt this:
people walking through you
as if you are
a cloud fallen to earth
unanchored and alone
hidden in the murmurs of others
breathing through holes in
the hearts of addicts
addicts can see me and so
can the insane and little
children see everyone
my favorite addict is Oz
thin as a reed and a survivor
she found a gang of sweaters and
leggins and stole a pair of uggs
for me because Strand wants
employees to dress artsy
i love books, they're my small...

silly love poem
More than your
voice at midnight
Perhaps more than
your hands in my hair
Even more than your
tight fingers on my
pulse points
So much more than
your arrogant tongue
marching everywhere
Your words, oh your words!
words I have dreamed about
since a teen
Tonight the echo scarf
you gave me will be
used quite willingly
...echoes of O inform
all our needs
For more than I can
poem, I long for thee
glaze me with your love
for all the world to see.

ode
the surface is
smooth
beguiling
undertones of
an implied threat
that's exciting
why?
handfulls of
darkness
a willing partner
in my silent
inner-ness
marries me
spills seeds
at my feet
i ripen
into this new
being
seal my sexual
from the first heart
to my other
smaller heart
anxious
frightened
to become known
to shake my leaves
until there are none
denuded
would I rather vanish
than be known?
hush.

Some Days : A Dark Story
Sometimes the days play tricks
and end up falling in love with each other;
or just plain acting out
slipping past midnight with another day's
heart, minus their own
Monday's breasts in Tuesday's mouth.
Monday on the heels of Tuesdays 12:01
drags in a garland of rain water blood red
curling leaves
Tuesday's waist length hair threaded with
sticky glitter and tiny children's name tags
they'll wear each others hours while making
love in the eaves of Wednesday's sorrow
who is known around the week as April Showers
while sweet...
