POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Away
Desperate cries pierce the night
No one can hear them, silent, you see
Those screams that swell and roll
Are locked inside of me
Broken, bleeding, screaming, pleading
I willingly accepted the fall
You have become nothing more to me
Than a scar, hanging on my lonely heart’s wall
I can’t escape this dead end prison
That dwells so deep within
My hopes, my dreams, my happiness
Have finally met their end
I begged for your attention
But the wall you built I can’t break through

The Window
I sit by myself
Solitude memories bring
I stare out the window
Not seeing a thing
I move from the window
And onto the bed
Doesn’t much matter now
Chaos in my head
My mind won’t be quiet
Filled with what I have lost
Alone in this room
My heart suffers the cost
I stand in the hall
Hold the wall for support
Loneliness steals my breath
I can’t take much more
Too scared to leave
Too frightened to stay
I can’t make a choice
At least not today
I go back to the window ...

Second best to booze
Married, but always feel alone. Only married single parent I know. Second best to the alcohol. At least now it is only alcohol, as if that is a good thing. And it is, I suppose, when compared to what I was second best to...Never a good morning. No contact at all during the day. No hugs. No kisses. No hand-holding. No acknowledgement of anything I have accomplished. No how was your day. Every answer is "don't matter." And years of witnessing first-hand what it means to be a couch potato is a true killer of feelings. Every missed opportunity to say you love me, every time you turned me down,...

It Was You
Amidst the fog
I see a face
Becoming clearer now
Soft as lace
Misty, yet bright
Like the morning dew
I cling to the moment
Willing it to be you
The slightest touch
Glimpses of truth
My burning senses
Tell me it’s you
I feel the intense
Warmth of your skin
Yield to emotions
Passion swelling within
A feverish rush
Then a fleeting sigh
As I catch my breath
My thoughts soar high
Growing faster
We rush together
Embrace in love
Whispering forever
...

Through You I Feel
Through your eyes
I see the fear
Of what you could lose
Hiding behind tears
Through your heart
I feel the pain
Of trying to choose
Which love to gain
Through your touch
I feel the love
The passion inside
Risking so much
Through your kiss
I feel the longing
For each stolen moment
Desire is calming
Through your embrace
I feel the need
To enjoy our time
This is meant to be
Through your soul
I see a mate
Together by destiny
Sealed with fate
...

There You Are
There You are
All alone
I wish I could hold you
Call you my own
Whisper the words
To make everything better
Instead of writing it down
In words of a letter
Wrong or right
I will not decide
All I know
Is my heart feels right
If I were there
We would turn out the light
I would cradle you in my arms
Until the morning light
All alone
I wish I could hold you
Call you my own
Whisper the words
To make everything better
Instead of writing it down
In words of a letter
Wrong or right
I will not decide
All I know
Is my heart feels right
If I were there
We would turn out the light
I would cradle you in my arms
Until the morning light

I want to be...
I want to be the one
that holds your hand when you cry
the one to calm your fears
and walk proudly by your side
I want to be the one
you tell all of your dreams to
I want to be the one
that makes them all come true
I want to be the one
that touches you in your soul
the one to share my love
I give my heart for you to hold
I want to be the one
to greet you every morning
kiss your tender lips
make you feel my yearning
I want to be the one
waiting for you at night
to cling to you in...

My Best Friend
Waiting is hard for
A sign or something that will let
Me know he’s ok…
Will he think of me next?
I miss the conversation
As I wind down my day
I love how he listens
And never turns away
At the end of the day
I lay down with a grin
As I think of him, but for now
I just miss my best friend
A sign or something that will let
Me know he’s ok…
Will he think of me next?
I miss the conversation
As I wind down my day
I love how he listens
And never turns away
At the end of the day
I lay down with a grin
As I think of him, but for now
I just miss my best friend

Shadows?
frightening figures of madness
Silence?
thoughts of bizarre, eratic mortality
Memories?
secrets left to hide behind shadows
Insanity?
pleading to get out of hell
Reality?
a dream - yet impossible to tell
Voices?
scream inside and tear the heart
Laughing?
when there's nothing to laugh at
Fear?
an illusion of the mind
Disease?
a constant threat of character
War?
a reality in every sense of the word
Lies?
no one can tell what is truth
Death?
no one wants, yet inevitable

Darkness
A cry inside the body
of a victim
trapped between the forces
of life and death
with only a dim
vision to guide
and distinguish
between illusion
and reality
the darkness is
a lonely place...

Depression
Midnight darkness
lets in no light
swallowing dreams
the soul is not mine
black and bleak
the future is blurred
I must learn to face life
crying out, yet unheard
shadows lend voices
with nothing but fear
my will is broken
obscured in tears
not to be known
I slip steadily away
no one will notice
forever and a day
depression hurts
no one can tell
the screaming inside
my own living hell
lets in no light
swallowing dreams
the soul is not mine
black and bleak
the future is blurred
I must learn to face life
crying out, yet unheard
shadows lend voices
with nothing but fear
my will is broken
obscured in tears
not to be known
I slip steadily away
no one will notice
forever and a day
depression hurts
no one can tell
the screaming inside
my own living hell

For me?
He touches my soul
And fills a need
His touch of life
Is it meant for me?
Happiness in despair
Sorrow in song
Butterfly whispers
For him my heart longs
To hear soft words
Hold me when I cry
Let me love myself
Give dreams a try
But, alas, it's not true
He will never be mine
I let go of hope
As the love slowly dies...
And fills a need
His touch of life
Is it meant for me?
Happiness in despair
Sorrow in song
Butterfly whispers
For him my heart longs
To hear soft words
Hold me when I cry
Let me love myself
Give dreams a try
But, alas, it's not true
He will never be mine
I let go of hope
As the love slowly dies...
