POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I like to write about any and everything I've experienced or come accross. I started writing poetry at age fifteen, got a few poems published but stopped after a year or so. Then a few years ago I started writing a poem per day. Now I write when I g
Ruby is on my mind
Her inviting smile, welcomes me in
Red luscious lips
Pouty smile
Glittering eyeshadow sparkles out to me
Her sparkling floor gown spread out
She stands out in a crowd
Her exuberance, her radience
Her energy levels always high
I admire her sophisticated style
She always has a delightful story to tell she always has love on her mind,
In her smile
She's sweet as cherry pie
Charming indeed
You can depend on her to
Say a assuring word
Admist uncertainty
Red luscious lips

Glittering eyeshadow sparkles out to me

She stands out in a crowd
Her exuberance, her radience

In her smile
She's sweet as cherry pie
Charming indeed
You can depend on her to
Say a assuring word

Jerk
Jerk of the times
Creeping around my insecurities
A jerk looking for a
Off key rhyme
To throw my way
He's in a daze
Caught up in the moment
Laughing
Through the fog
Cause there is no clearing
In the sky
For his smirk
To be set free
Jerk...
Can't be
Without
A tease
To inflict
Upon me
Jerk...
Staring me in
The face
Like I need to entertain
His snobbery
Jerk...
Making me
Mad
Jerk...
When can I be
Allowed
To laugh
Back at
You
Creeping around my insecurities
A jerk looking for a
Off key rhyme
To throw my way
He's in a daze
Caught up in the moment
Laughing
Through the fog
Cause there is no clearing
In the sky
For his smirk
To be set free
Jerk...
Can't be
Without
A tease
To inflict
Upon me
Jerk...
Staring me in
The face
Like I need to entertain
His snobbery
Jerk...
Making me
Mad
Jerk...
When can I be
Allowed
To laugh
Back at
You

Your blue eyes of the sea
I find emotional strength
In your blue eyes of the sea
Your unassuming eyes
Mixed blue colors, calm, cool
You always welcome me in
You say I'm welcome
To set sail on your shore
To share your sails
Adventures you'll share
With me
In your blue eyes of the sea
I see all these glorious
Colors of blue
The sea, the sky,
It's vastness...
You'll share with me

Expecting me to follow
You' re a phantom in the night
I've missed your flights of fancy
You've lit up
I've been left to myself on your excursion
Singing myself to sleep on lonely nights
Counting let downs for dreams
How do you seek me out?
So mysteriously...
Admist
Your oblivious mind
Deteriorating slowly in the cold night
You hide the cherades of your hullucinations
You expect me to follow
Your passions based on chance

The ones you want to unravel
In the dark
As you dart and dodge
The consequences of ...

A stranger's gaze
A tall dark stranger
Appears
Slipping out of the shadows
And into my view
Peering just above over my shoulders
Above my head
Awaiting my gaze
To lock with his
Me shy and embarrassed
I divert my gaze
Somewhere else, anywhere else
Out of rhythm out of sinc
With the moment
A man awaiting some sort of flirty confrontation
I shun it off
Amblivious
Naive to his intentions
Whether the are curious or unpredictable
Of innocent intent or full of betrayal
I write it off
As curious harrassment

Your intriguing men's cologne
Your cool body mist
Refreshes my senses
Your splash of zest
Becons me near
Like a sharp ocean breeze beconning me
A churning of the tides
Pulling me closer
You stood there
pouring the enticing liquid
Pumping it through
Thick glass bottles green to blue
Like the most enticing alcoholic drink
A potent liquid flowing, pouring, dribbling,spraying
Like a rippeling spring
A quench of scented bliss on your skin
Lingers in the air
like fresh forest vegetation
Like a bubbly spring fountain ...

A New Day
Turning a new cheek
Ready to smile
For a new day
Ready to go the extra way
To search for what I'm living for
Walking along through life
My steps growing smaller,heavier
Without inspiration to
Hold onto
I climb ladders of knowledge
To search for
Meaning
That falls into
Loose forms
Daily affirmations
Drip
Into my mind
To numb it
With meanings of consciousness

Distraction
Drivers that drive too fast
Zoom past me
They wonder who I am
I'm wondering down their street again
Looking aloof
They don't know me
Can only sum me up
By superficial ways
See what I look like
What my clothes are made of
What age I am
What's my nervous expression
Their stares
Distract my mind
Picking me apart in their own way
Distracting my mind again
From thinking of you
Zoom past me
They wonder who I am
I'm wondering down their street again
Looking aloof
They don't know me
Can only sum me up
By superficial ways
See what I look like
What my clothes are made of
What age I am
What's my nervous expression
Their stares
Distract my mind
Picking me apart in their own way
Distracting my mind again
From thinking of you

When you don't call
When you don't call
I miss you
When you don't call
I start to wonder
Wonder if your with someone else
Whose not me, are you playing with me?
When you don't call
I'm in a black hole
Wallowing in my saddness
Wallowing in sadness
Missing your sunshine voice
That comforts me
Makes me feel your near
I feel solo
When you don't call
I feel void
No one to share my life
Or my struggle with life
When you don't call I wonder
If I'm wasting my time
If your preoccupied with another
When you don't call...
I miss you

Wallowing in sadness
Missing your sunshine voice
That comforts me
Makes me feel your near
I feel solo
When you don't call

No one to share my life
Or my struggle with life
When you don't call I wonder
If I'm wasting my time
If your preoccupied with another

Lack of tender loving care
My love is like yesterday's rose bloom
That shed it's petals over
With abundance of passion felt
Has my ripeness lost it's savor?
Your lack of tender loving care
Tending to me
Has left me wilting over
In anticipation
Of your loving cultivation
Tend to me...

Invisible Rain
Invisible rain
That rains down love upon me
Makes me feel love
When you whisper to me
Like the wind
How lovely you are
That rains down love upon me
Makes me feel love
When you whisper to me
Like the wind
How lovely you are

People got to be rude
People say so many jumbled words about one another
Words they forget to regret what they said
Distorted words based on jealousy, envy, greed, selfishness
Words that sting and linger in the air
Dark rain clouds try to cover it all up
You try to dodge ,dart,hide from their
Small daggers of snare
People...they want to always have something to say
Even if it's nothing but rude
They love to say they told you so
Want to sum you up
In a moments second
They keep wanting to comment on the way you,
Look, smell, your taste, your money, ...
