Poems
Song Of The Autumn Nymphs
In the silence
Of the dead woods
Where the lonely trees
All stood
The autumn nymphs
Dance
To the haunting tunes
of memory’s trance
Poems
Ascension Day
Alone at last Jesus gives Eve one of his beatific smiles
and says, ”See, I did all this for you.”
Remembering the garden, Eve lets go of her savior’s hands,
”Yeah, but I never asked you to.”
Poems
Seduction X
Alone in my bed…
A day after Valentine’s…
Sober and broken.
Leaves all dried up
The wind is chasing my soul
There is no more hope.
Poems
Two songbirds sing
Baths spark and fires end, cupped, capped talons are frail.
The night, the days. More love with a longing haze.
Time! What a tale above sunrise hate.
Hell. Must be a short, long winter without you.
Poems
Garden Of Kindness
carry me from this tomb
with gentle petals on flower stems
grasp my wonder
hold me captive
bury me silent
in your garden of kindness
Poems
Love’s Tide
The ocean may seem scary
with all the unpredictability
But with you baby
I’m sure the ocean will be nothing but lovely
Poems
Snarling cup of coffee
I like to start my day with a hot cup of coffee
I pound down the coffee
First thing I do every day as the dawning sun
Lights up my lonesome room
Yeah, but not just a simple cup of java Joe,
but a goddamn snarling sarcastic smarmy cup of coffee.
Poems
Witching Hour
It’s maddening to be on my mind
Silence and noise, never just one
Realization and frustration dancing back and forth each time
As dreams and hope are crushed on the ground
Shorts
Code Breaker
PK hadn’t slept much in the past few days. Might even be longer, but he wasn’t sure. Not that he cared. No, sir, this pill stuff had to be solved right soon so he could get on with the mission.
Poems
Letting Go
I dreamt I saw you.
Perhaps I did see you
in the distance of my
imagination.
And I caught the moment
stilled in shock
and held on to it.
