POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Hi, I have been writing off and on since as long as I can remember. I occasionally take a hiatus, but always come back inspired with new poetry each time. I would love to be a published writer someday, but as long as my poetry inspires, I'm happy.

The Reliable One
I'm here for you
When no one else
Is available
For you to turn to.
I sit here and wait
For you to give me
Some purpose to
My otherwise boring
And fairly pointless life.
When no one else
Is available
For you to turn to.

For you to give me
Some purpose to

Soul Lay Bare
At the end of the day
When all the insecurities
Have been stripped away,
Come to me
With your soul lay bare
Seeking all the love
I have to share.
But to ask is
All you have to do
And I will freely
Give it all to you.

Warped Unreality
My perception warps
To fit the view
That my anxiety
Presents before me
Of how the world
That surrounds me
Is out to destroy
All I hold dear.

Unwanted Honesty
What if I told you
That I'm not actually doing okay?
If I were actually honest
And let you know that I'm
Not doing well at the moment
And I'm struggling to not feel
Overwhelmed and retreat
From society and all my
Friends who care about me.
I'm not eating enough,
I'm not sleeping enough,
And things are getting
Fuzzy around the edges
Where the things I
Normally can't see
Like to hide.
They appear only in
Peripheral and half-glances.
I don't know if I believe
That they are real or not,
But I am seeing them...
That I'm not actually doing okay?
If I were actually honest
And let you know that I'm
Not doing well at the moment
And I'm struggling to not feel
Overwhelmed and retreat
From society and all my
Friends who care about me.
I'm not eating enough,
I'm not sleeping enough,
And things are getting
Fuzzy around the edges
Where the things I
Normally can't see
Like to hide.
They appear only in
Peripheral and half-glances.
I don't know if I believe
That they are real or not,
But I am seeing them...

Don't Pull The Thread
I'm about to unravel,
My seams now
Threadbare,
And all it's going
To take
Is just one
Good tug
To cause me
To burst apart,
Leaving strands of
Bloody yarn and string
And scraps of crimson cloth
Behind in my wake.
My seams now
Threadbare,
And all it's going
To take
Is just one
Good tug
To cause me
To burst apart,
Leaving strands of
Bloody yarn and string
And scraps of crimson cloth

Deluge
When I met you,
I knew just where
Things would lead,
And just how deep
I would soon find myself
Falling for you.
I feel like I'm now trying
To keep my head
Above the water
So I don't get consumed and
Drown in a tide of raw,
Unadulterated passion.

Scald
You introduced me to a pleasure
That I had not known yet.
And I've since found myself
Falling in love with the
Overwhelming sensation
Of the heat slowly
Boiling me.
The delicious feel of the
Hot water slow cooking
My wet skin
Is so tantalizing!
If I were plastic,
I would be melting
Under the intense heat
That brings me
Such pleasures.
As I let the waves of
Boiling bliss wash over me,
My mind is on you.
Thank you so very much
For showing me this
New masochism.
That I had not known yet.
And I've since found myself
Falling in love with the
Overwhelming sensation
Of the heat slowly
Boiling me.
The delicious feel of the
Hot water slow cooking
My wet skin
Is so tantalizing!
If I were plastic,
I would be melting
Under the intense heat
That brings me
Such pleasures.
As I let the waves of
Boiling bliss wash over me,
My mind is on you.
Thank you so very much
For showing me this
New masochism.

N/A
What once was is now gone
Like leaves in the autumn wind.
Little hints here and there
Come through on the breeze,
Reminding me of our past
That will never be forgotten.
But I know better now
About trying to recreate it.

False Reflection
I look in the mirror
And shake my head
At the reflection
Staring back at me.
This isn't me,
Not the real me,
Right?
When did I become
This damn old?!
And shake my head
At the reflection
Staring back at me.
This isn't me,
Not the real me,
Right?
When did I become
This damn old?!

Teenage Heart
No matter how many times
I try to tell myself to do otherwise
I still fall.
Too hard,
Too much,
Too often.
Sometimes it as though
While I have gotten older
Parts of me have not.
My heart has indeed
Not aged a day
Past my teens.
I should know better
By now, but alas,
I still move too fast.

Until You Leave
I knew we were
On a time frame
With a clock ticking away
Our time together.
Eventually
You will have to leave
And I can't ask you to stay
When I don't have the means
To save you like I want to.
So until then,
I will love you anyways
But I can't stop myself
Even if I actually wanted to.
Eventually you will leave
And I will be left
Wanting so much more
Than you can give me.
But for now
I shall take what I can get,
And pray that when you leave
I'm worth coming back for.
