POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Curiosity killed the cat, but for a while I was a suspect- Steven Wright
Thanks to ALL the beat goes on
In a colored studio a man plays
acoustic strings that once bled
everyday, styled but hurt heard
rhythms waving hands of the broken man
bleeding in six and eight days return
breathing nature feelings resume
Promised songs lay love embody instrument
Thrice time the music died
how many times, how many reasons
something treasured, becomes the chore
creating was the magic, once lived for
effort was disdained latent enslaved
time bore, time was, I was dead
practiced years no longer craved, these crushing days
Dust falls,...

ENDLESS PASSION
Sparks ran through the street.
Tornados bringing electric.
Lines down town scurry
paying
no attention.
As they make,
their way
pumping,
breathing the others blood
Only hawks see its rapture transpire.
Finally, little cities give focused eyes
embracing.
Riding
the wave.
Time, curling
A town crumbles, to sea
with passion.

As above from below
from the heights as in the Haight
I saw from above, the walk below
feet at the edge, river styx
waving to the ferry man
with a wink and a smile,
I kept my thin dime
turning around, Yes indeed
Another Mile
The fun one, rooted
in rudimentary beginnings
taking the long way out
was just a way
to see the sights sound their twinkle downs
as they glaze
craggy edged surfaces of the rock walls
stop me if You've heard this one...
never mind, different,
words same language, ...

The underbelly waits
Succumbing
In the dark
tear drippings
blacken these edges
that cut deeply
upon Fixed
Ripped
Alienated
Years
Ever
Despondent
open
spaces
I RUN
Hiding behind a tree, closing my eyes
as screams wail, incessantly
loudly, from the forest breeze
Eyes wide shut
there seems...

Lilac in Spring
Relaxing on our porch,
mind?
Not at all
but ablaze
unfolding
scents of Lavender,
wafting from the page
Sharing this
She smiled, saying
Save that for me, I wish to walk
amongst Deer and stream
Talking, as we walked
discussions upon knowledge
which are real, which are thought
Deck to the trails
trickling, surrender
dancing Butterflies
wings these holding hands,
sipping
Ice cooled lemon tea
We graze upon laughs
Sparkling stars,
falling out of our pockets
kicking stones...

DYANA
Bent upon cleansing the
man who followed Her
She had dynamite strapped
to Her body, ready to light
the fuse, and run away
Pausing with thought
only to check the charges
making sure they were intact
He was incessant
Knowing Her every move, it seemed
But he had been warned, follow
to the very t
Dancing was a Love, they shared
there was always
Grace and style to this
as there is to any Art.
Hours spent practicing
days savored in learning,
There was nothing Juilliard
could teach them,...

Kissing the cheeks of past
reshaping my past, I'd listen
not the shadows that scared.
Nor deafen doubts that guts talk
jumped instead of stayed, carrying
caressing brand new ways.
Spoke when spoken to, lived
pleasing me, stead cool breezes
blown upon others, kept my eyes
upon sharks of the sea, the bleeders
leeches fed fat from skin.
Give token to that job in Hoboken
Cleaned house in sooners than later's
shifting waits from stilled minds
to weight for mind
Ignoring quiet times
reaction of creation, hold hands
to my ears as screams...

Galleria Juxtapose
Gardens grow graciously green
glowing gleefully within Gnostic glens
graft genres giving gracefully
Glower not gentle Giants
gladly goad guile ye Gods/Goddesses
Ale ailments arriving, anklets anchors
As accurately able
Asking audaciously, allurements
allegories, alienations and all
Acoustic alabaster art, awed
Braid beautifully, beads of Bard
breaking bread blithely
bringing bodacious boasts
Buggerd brags bastard brine
beveled burns behooves brightness
Every Eos encapsulates encompassed envisioning ...

So I've Heard
Where did You go
that day
plenty others
And when
did we forget
Sorry,
Sang blue eyes
time snarled
locked in hatred
Whisper tethers tells, knots
sound of the boot knife
I know
hours I died
reborn, alone
Knowing, Gods dethroned
paid decoding, cloaking secrets
In-between lies, focused reasoning's
Intelligence?
clueless
what forest
Central America
Language is sense of scoff
still letters
moving ones
once, thrice a year
shutterbug close-ups
Brand new Baby...

today
Shining, this wake of hour
having walked miles in slumber
through the mystic land of Nod
Stream rays, my beaming Delight
caverns carry floats, downstream nights
Rises painted, sweetened horizons
left and write to my side
hand upon my chest, deepened soften sighs
Cares about tomorrow
livings within today
shape detailed settings
along the milky way
Sift mind of dream
as if reality's sane
culture string of pearl
loving, gifted world
Bakers dozen these things
divans lounge about
tides are travels
no...

KNOTSO del Caso GRIMM Ferret tail
The raven flew overhead
Shat upon the shoulder
yelling tosser I travelled
admiring how it dove against
The Sun, lighted days rays
this cocked ravens head
No eye of eagle, ego
boredom plane, without
wings given, stench and flies
many speculation cries
joins his brethren dancing
Amulet and I
Dawns Grace feathers weather.
storms, absurd thought
this, be a blight to natures
leaves, pop of the toy gun
red ryder tiger
As dye and snip share
mark of the forest hare
Cute that, no stew
I traverse hungry...
