POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I needed therapy. I am poor. I write poetry.
With a hint of sadness
With a hint of sadness.
When favorite moments.
Are shared with deeply.
The lost component.
Don't change the memory.
Remains important.
Won't ever leave you.
Resides in contentment.
As once a truth.
The one and only, you ever trusted.
Forgot your name, long past reckoned.
Now holds forever, time disrupted.
Can't erase, those favorite seconds.
As constant companion.
Your smile still binds.
With just a hint of sadness.
That love left behind.

Stands my Mother
To stand beside my grieving Mother.
Is a storm of rage and pain.
Coupled with something other.
That wants, to isolate.
Removes her heart, from her sleeve.
Fury in her loss, unleashed.
Transfers, a truth, that screams.
My grieving Mother, can't be reached.
But this, is of no consequence.
No reason for alarm.
Because in me, her strength, transcends.
And we stand, arm and arm.

Saves
The crazy you installed.
In my heart of gold.
Lives there today.
And why I can not stay.
This love goes the distance.
So lives the dissonance.
My heart beats your name.
Though the tune has changed.
The only never I can promise.
This forever grants me prowess.
Is the absence from your eyes.
Disappeared from your sight.
Murder, even when deserved.
Will send me straight to hell.
My love stands as your preserve.
Postponing your death knell.
A.R.M.

His hands from me
He kept his hand from me.
So, I checked to see.
What was wrong with me.
So many flaws did I see.
And so much more in me.
He never did see.
And this brings sadness to me.
He was my want, you see.
What he kept from me.
I trust he knew what I should see.
What I felt his love for me.
I love him still I never see.
Though he kept his hand from me.
His name my heart forever beats.
Though he kept his hand from me.
He was my one and only dream.

Decisions, Decisions
The hardest decision.
Is the one with no choice.
An arduous attrition.
Of effort with no point.

Farewell
Acting like I need to mend.
Implying that I'm broken.
Tells a weakness in your head.
As insults often spoken.
Your ignorance to see.
Is easy to believe.
Your good intentions may be,
The reason I grit my teeth.
Your tactics of goodwill.
Manipulative speech.
Your practiced fictitious guilt.
Is just not worth the grief.
It's time for me to leave.
The only contrition I feel.
Is for overwhelming relief.
But you I can never tell.
Silence says my farewell.
A R.M.

Was it something I said?
You are too much.
Yours will not do.
Be quiet, hush.
What is wrong with you?
What did I tell you?
Are you blind or something?
Get out of the way, shoo.
Are you good for nothing?
Just do what I say.
Go faster, slow down.
That's the wrong way.
Quit fooling around.
You never listen.
You had better change.
Be glad I have forgiven.
How many times do I have to say?
I can't believe she left.
Was it something that I said?

Want
Once, I was encumbered;
With shame, that was not mine.
Now, that war is over,
I straighten out my spine.
Fear belongs, to the mediocre.
So I left mine, behind.
Want, is the hangover.
Slowing down my mind.

Grey cells
I think, for myself.
I, love words.
Regurgitating,
Is for the birds.

All gone
Her anguish, no longer her burden.
Remnants of what she can count on.
Loyalty proves nothing certain.
Like him the pain is gone.

No promises
Just don't promise me forever.
Or say that you'd never.
Or even that you won't,
you don't, or ever, before.
Just stay right beside me.
Or follow or guide me.
Act like you like me.
Be the one I look for.

Love, Mom
I see you, my daughter.
Your pain is valid.
I hear you, my child.
Your voice, when ragged.
I support you, my girl.
No matter your plight.
You are my world.
Wrong or right.
When you are shunned.
You are not abandoned.
When you are wronged.
You are defended.
Life can make you feel alone.
On those days try to remember.
You are never on your own.
You belong to me forever.
Love
