Recent Works

It's been a while....again. I have a few new works and one big work in progress. Here are the new poems. The last is the intro to a short story I am working on. Enjoy!

Rune Incantation

Fire, Water, Air and Earth;
Those are the forces that to these stones gave birth.
Those same forces are alive in me,
With out power shared, let us see.
Divine the future,
Explain the past,
Let the answers lie in these runes cast.
Earth and Sky, Sun and Moon
Reveal this to me as your boon.



Damn, I'm Beautiful

Sometimes I’m not enough
To satisfy myself.
Who’s that girl in the picture?
Surely I’m not her?

Sometimes I think I’m fat,
Sometimes I think I’m short,
Sometimes I wonder who I am,
And in the mirror, who is that?

Standing next to my peers,
I feel inferior,
Looking so beautiful, so fair,
I fear I don’t compare.

I wonder if I see myself
For how I truly am?
Or is my image of myself
Skewed by some mental scam?

Sometimes I don’t like myself
And I wish that I would change
Sometimes I know for sure I should
But don’t know where to begin.

But then sometimes, late at night
I stretch before the mirror—
And smile a very satisfied smile
Before playing with my hair,

Because alone at night
The girl I see
By the bathroom’s light
Is the woman I want to be.

Such full breasts—
What sensual curves—
Dark but vibrant eyes
And rich voluminous hair,

At such times as these,
I really can’t help but think,
Despite my daytime insecurities,
“Damn, I’m beautiful.”


Don't scream. Don't cry.

Don’t scream.
Don’t cry.
The call will draw the Dark inside.
Hearts are such fragile things
That they will willingly go where the darkness reigns.
Should you cry in fright, shock or fear
When at last before you, your heart’s light appears
Into the darkness your heart will flee
And only darkness will come from where it used to be.
So don’t scream,
Don’t cry
No matter how much the light might sear your eyes,
For such a call will send away
The fragile light a heart emanates.



Hang tight for the ensuing short story!
