Updates for ya'll

Hello People,

I know it's been a long minute since I've written to you, but I've been working hard on three projects and let me tell you, it's a full-time job. I love it though. As the saying goes, find something you love and you'll never work another day in your life.

If you haven't joined Wattpad.com https://www.wattpad.com to check out my books that's fine, there will be plenty posted here. I was thinking of posting excerpts and decided on my poem/story THERE I WAS. Sitting in bed one night watching the Stephen King movie 'The Dark Half', I banged out this tale of a monster and a human meeting on Halloween night. I love my dark humor so there's a bit of that. I pointed out to someone I never gender specified the human and loved the realization look I received.

Hope everyone is having a fuktastic Sunday afternoon and please feel free to contact me!

There I was
 
As often I was, deep in my mood, I sat on a bench and spotted a bat on a low branch of a tree staring at me.
The moon was out, casting curious shadows, but the one I focused on was casting a menacing shine, from which I was sure were its eyes.
Petrification was I, making sure no motion set the bat to fly.
Its webbed wings protracted and my lungs turned to ice, praying this winged mammal didn't mind if I cried.
Then the most horrific sight I had the unfortunate opportunity to see was when I noticed it was not a bat with extended wings, but a six-foot monster waving at me.
I opened my mouth to scream like a shrill whistle when the monster opened its mouth and gave a deep giggle. Offended but still about to pee my pants, I stood up and took a stance.
"Get away from that tree you monster!"
"Why should I, it's Halloween?"
"Don't you see what you just did to me? I don't care if it's Halloween, you scared the living shit outta me!"
The monster took one step forward, and I swear I felt it in my bones. Bending my knees, praying I kept my jeans urine free, the monster dared to lecture me.
"You humans are all the same. You dress up, and parade, pretending at being me while I hide in shame. Here I am, enjoying a stroll, and you want me to feel bad for you while you cry and pout? I was here first human so--get !"
By now it was obvious this ghastly monster, with no self-respect, meant to chase me off with words and that was no threat. So with a scowl and a harumph, I planted my butt on the bench and said, "Maybe this once, since it is Halloween, human and monster can sit and be civil, if not you can take your ugly butt back to the devil."
The monster raised its webbed fingers to the moonlit sky, sighed and spat, "Well, we can at least try but don't think I won't eat you. I have spit roasted humans that have made me resentful."
There I was, on Halloween night, my mood poor but once given a fright, able to see the monster through the trees and the next year I even brought him Carmel candies since he refrained from devouring me.

The Skyliners- Since I Don't Have You

I don't have plans and schemes And I don't have hopes and dreams I don't have anything Since I don't have you I don't have fond desires And I don't have happy hours I don't have anything Since I don't have you I don't have happiness, and I guess I never will again When you walked out on me In walked old misery And he's been here since then I don't have love to share And I don't have one who cares I don't have anything Since I don't have You, you, you, you You, you, you, you You, you, you, you (You) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Skyliner  

Used By Him

I was blanketed in lust. Devoured from the inside with    rhythmic perspiration. Plunging deep, like a knife,    on a cold winter night. I lifted myself towards it like a glutton,    head spinning all of a sudden. He was striving towards some intoxicated hard earned moment,    which I found Herculean and unnerving. I've been thinking of how he looked in ecstasy,    calling my name as if the two were the same. Then he was gone,    the blanket of lust stripped away without shame. Cold and empty without shelter,    it's just my body he's after. Lick my lips,    flip my hair        Where the hell is my            underwear? J.M.
