Poem: Abstract Song

Sitting in the bed she watches
Him move naked across the room
Smile on her lips and buzzing in her head
She picks up her blue guitar and strums
A melody coming before the words

Poem: Sweet Harvest

They say apples hold magic
A hidden star at its core
I never believed in mysticism
Yet you with juice on your chin
Has me absolutely entranced

Poem: Watching Lives Through Windows

A fire escape is a misnomer
Sitting out here bare to the stars
I don’t feel like I’ve escaped
The fire that burns within
My chest beating with passion
Unrequited by the strangers
Moving through their lives

Poem: Seven Days

For seven days and seven nights
I was bound as a slave
Chained by your arms
While you created my world
In your image

Short Story: Interlude to a Departure

“The fire escape is rusty,” Henry said.

“It always had been since we started sitting out here at age thirteen,” Jess responded.

“Five years on, other things have changed. The rising sun is threatening to take you. You’ll go, I’ll never see you again.”

“I won’t forget you.”

“Is what they always say.”

Poem: Redheaded Lady of the Pines

There’s a red headed beauty waiting
On the outskirts of town out past the pines
Patiently swaying to music in the moonlight
Calling my name telling me to leave it all behind
Barefoot in blue jeans we dance in the clearings
Out in the shadows beyond the bonfire light

Poem: Untouchable

Man my head is fucked up
It holds all the infinite possibilities
While sitting in this present moment
With everything I could ever want
Where I am always wanting more

I see her walk into the room
Knowing she is not noticing me
The same way I’m noticing her
Each step she takes is meaningful
But I mean nothing to her

Poem: Heat

Stars in the sky burn
But not as hot as I do
When I am with you

Poem: Evening Fire

The fire smolders distant in the East
Ignorant of the sparks here
Trying to ignite the night
In a competition with the stars

Poem: Unleashed

Black leather is not for everyone
But you wear it so well its my favorite
Second only to when you wear nothing
Except that devilish grin of yours
Biting your lip holding back your tongue
That makes promises I know you’ll keep
