POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction I've been erupting with poetry since I was 17. My Amazon books include Holding The Bruised Rose Blossoms Of An Attempted Genetic Rinse, Juggernaut Of Yearning, and Metaphysical Magic. Later I taught myself piano, so I also spew Song Poems! :-)

Do I Tremble From The Cold, Or From The Turbulence Of Your Midnight Kiss?
1.
Beautiful sunlit maiden,
you revitalize my universe
with an unadulterated joy
that pours playfully out
like a bucket of heartfelt kisses.
Even when my only companion
is the steady rhythm of heavy rain,
still you grace my billowing heart
with your startling effervescence.
How I revel in the way you truly listen,
drinking in your calming sustenance
even when our lips are far apart,
quivering as they do with earthly premonitions
that swirl madly with the ravenous hunger
of ripest...

Open Up And Say Ahhh, For Here Comes The Medicine From The Cabinet Of The Long Emergency
simmering in
a beautiful angry broth
ladled out
with wild prophetic precision
a hungry cauldron
of riotous images and fresh thoughts
that dance oh-so jubilantly
spinning silver coins
fading into ghostly reverie
the abstractness of money
lost in a stark crash of hypercomplexity
we,
thunder-ripe witches-brew witnesses,
gurgling throatfuls of carbon
under the patient guidance of moonlight
thrusting bony hips
and wise whispering skin
with worshipful intent ...

thatched roof hut and berry blooms destined to become fruit for our lips
swollen sepia
skyburn
summer rain
sparkles in your eyes
as the dust
changes to mud
footprints begin
to gather like fossils
unearthed
to dance
one last time
in the arena
of summer's wistful
wanderings

goodbye woman, hello lonesome drifter
drifting charcoal flowers
invade smiling dreams
nectar of bittersweet corruption
tasted
fuel for
the old rusty blues
and twilight
turns her face
into night
a wolf's paw
burned up into
the deepest reaches
of the sky
riding a freight
train
against a backdrop
of soulstreaming stars
sitting
on top
of the world
again
invade smiling dreams
nectar of bittersweet corruption
tasted
fuel for
the old rusty blues
and twilight
turns her face
into night
a wolf's paw
burned up into
the deepest reaches
of the sky
riding a freight
train
against a backdrop
of soulstreaming stars
sitting
on top
of the world
again

stretch days of spring

This Is The Shape Of How I Inhabit An Empty Sky
I.
I am a sun-lit sailboat,
whose mast is buttressed by a concrete heart.
(Where will this journey end?)
II.
I am a pair of iridescent insect wings,
fluttering above a flush of dewy leaves.
(How many more times will I feel the kiss of dawn?)
III.
I am the steady rise and fall of the sea,
inexplicably bound to gravity’s clockwork respiration.
(How can I survive these grinding gears of existence?)
IV.
I am a spiraling galaxy,
cradled by the shadowy arms
of dark matter.

This Is The Silence That Strikes As A Dagger Falls
I.
Upon awakening
my skull feels clustered
with the deadwood
of dreams.
Raising a lightning-soaked hand
to my eyes I am suddenly buried
by the approaching rumble
of a swaggering summer storm.
Stepping outside
into the midnight mist
the trees look like logs
carved from clouds
of interstellar gas.
Gazing upwards into
the blurred atmosphere
my star-drunk thoughts...

Every Step On The Path Of Life Leads Toward The Sublime Synchronicity Of Your Full Spectrum Heart
1.
hunger cages
crowbared
open
emptied
to the thrum of ancient drums
flickering together
adaptable blackness of carbon
lines revitalized bonfires
and now we hunt
the healing electricity
inside us
2.
blissful fingers
trace circles of sky
that parachute down
planting seeds
of epiphany
that sprout
towards destiny
vulnerability and strength
providing momentum in equal measure
3.
as shared hailstorm eyes ...

The Point On The Universal Map At Which I Began To Love You More Than Life Itself
1.
Inebriated by the elegant arc
of a blustering stormwind passion
seven sonorous seas glitter
within the serenading sandstorm
of her soul-rich eyes.
2.
The curl of her Dutch lips is ripe
with immortal healing whispers,
potent shamanistic heart-blessings
poured into my bliss-dizzy head
like the mightiest starburn,
like thunder rendered mute,
lightning powered down
into the feathery tranquility
of her robust autumnal smile.
3.
Waking flowers trumpet your arrival, ...

Sunrise Maiden Of The Cosmos (Love Is The Crown, The Erudite Wisdom Of The Heart Shines On)
I.
You are the most seductive woman to ever exist,
a desire so pure you unhinge galaxies
until they begin to fall apart.
The wonderment of your eyes gazing starward on a windy, blurry day is the pinnacle of art,
poetry forged from the scalding elements of love and wisdom,
hope and yearning ascending bright bone deep into
the cool hot glow of emblazoned metal that hungrily leaps onto my orgasmic skin,
illustrating the flourishing story of my heart with harems of hyacinths,
painting stellar devotion into what seemed like sad empty space, ...
