POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Entitlement
You say you want honesty but when it comes you can’t take it.
I forget sometimes that you are not yet a woman, but not a child
You’re caught in between and have plans for your life
While I know how plans often don’t come to pass
And I know this from experience
I’m only offering you honesty and experiences I’ve went through
In hopes you avoid my mistakes
And pass by the places that will smash your heart and your dreams
I want you to overcome what took me so long to see
That making new plans, adjusting them is the way to go
The only way to come out on...

I Hate You
Can I just say how much I really fucking hate you?
Too bad, I'll say it anyway, just because I can
You cause me pain, this excruciating pain
With each step I take it shoots up
Ripping through me, filling my body
All the way to my brain
It comes and it goes
I never know when it'll decide to strike
Blinding me, halting me in my tracks
The pills denting the pain
but only for a while
I'm running out, I need some more
But lack of money stops me cold
It don't matter that the pain is tormenting
There's no one that can help...

Shelved
Set upon the shelf
The moment it got too tough
Desperately longing for time to unwind
To be that one, that you destroyed
Sitting upon that shelf you made
Dreaming, creating words we’ve never said
Conversations never to be spoken
Remembering places we’ve never been
Alone on my shelf I’ve been so long
Wondering where you’ve gone
What was more important than us?
Who weren’t you willing to fight?
Shelved and forgotten,
Tucked away, an unread book
Was it so easy to walk away?
Leaving us to find our own way
Dusty...

My Night in Heaven
Trembled hands on the door knob
What lies behind that closet door?
Many go in and none come out
A breath I suck in, pushing down my fear
Whisk of air brushes by as the door is opened
Rocks and pebbles surrounding the pond
Brightly colored fish basking in its warmth
Greenery and flowers etched its outline
Wooden porch swings handing from the air
Those that entered softly swinging
I wonder, really what is it
That makes their faces glow?
Slowly and unsure I walk towards that pond
My stomach uneasy, but I kept on. ...

Sweet, sweet nectar
I shouldn’t have taken that bite
Now your juice trickles out my mouth
It nips at my chin, dropping down my chest
All while dripping, sliding sweetly down my throat
A touch of warmth and a touch of cold
Icy, hot burning, rushing like a river
Pulsing, throbbing, a fire atop a glacier
Juice laced fingers caressing my thigh
Teasing the tips of my lips
It’s my turn now, lifting my hips to put you in
Eyes seizing, rolling back in my head
Hot fiery liquid seeping between my thighs
I shouldn’t have taken that bite
Now your juice trickles out my mouth
It nips at my chin, dropping down my chest
All while dripping, sliding sweetly down my throat
A touch of warmth and a touch of cold
Icy, hot burning, rushing like a river
Pulsing, throbbing, a fire atop a glacier
Juice laced fingers caressing my thigh
Teasing the tips of my lips
It’s my turn now, lifting my hips to put you in
Eyes seizing, rolling back in my head
Hot fiery liquid seeping between my thighs

Confession (entered in Confession competition)
Handmade flower, sweet words etched on a white Doily
Romantically placed in my mailbox
Songs sung and poetry written
A touch here and a touch there
Whispers of love and lust in my ear
Temptation at my finger tips
But it’s not a choice anymore
Those sweet tasting rendezvous
Passionate and spontaneous sewing of our souls
Leaving me breathless, and senseless
How did this happen?
It was never meant to go this far
I can’t believe I let you love me
I can’t believe I loved you
But I confess I never told you, because I had to let you
Romantically placed in my mailbox
Songs sung and poetry written
A touch here and a touch there
Whispers of love and lust in my ear
Temptation at my finger tips
But it’s not a choice anymore
Those sweet tasting rendezvous
Passionate and spontaneous sewing of our souls
Leaving me breathless, and senseless
How did this happen?
It was never meant to go this far
I can’t believe I let you love me
I can’t believe I loved you
But I confess I never told you, because I had to let you

I’ve seen you from afar though we’ve never met
I see your strength and unstoppable will
Which, allows you to enjoy the candy and lemons
Life throws your way
The ease in which you travel the mountains you climb
Fearless of falling, failing, never minding stones cast your way
Long silky black hair, softly caressing your cheeks
Gently falling on your shoulders
Sorrow-less eyes, green and blue
Enticing underneath long lashes
Never needing the paint
Your skin not lawless, but scar-less of self-infliction
Lips that curve in a natural smile...

Breaking the Mirror
Spinning
Around and around
Down
Down
Down
Or is it the walls around me
That, are spinning all around?
Spinning so fast I cannot see
Everything is a smokey blur
I try to run, as fast as I can
But those nights of mindless, depressed binges
And sedentary few years,
of weight hold me down
I hate the face in the mirror
Changing her is difficult
Exhausted and fearful
My fear is stupid, my phobias are just that,
Irrational
Letting the voice in my head have its control
I’d like to punch her and...

The jokes and teasing, it never ends
I STILL love you, like I'd done something wrong
Subtle words and jabs but they're all just a joke
I'm too serious, tortured and lost
Un-playful and boring
Interrogating and badgering as if I'm your criminal until you get your way
But I close my eyes and see him there
Those times he held me tight
And whispered in my ear
Tingling to my toes
We'd talk or not talk at all
It didn't matter, each other's company was enough
It patched our souls
Stitched them together
I keep my eyes closed...

Victim
I am not your victim
My choices were mine to make
I made them wrong, or right
To this day I stand by them
The turn out may not have been good
May not have been right
May not have been my intention
But, the choices I made then, they were mine
Young as I was is no matter
Shy as I may have been (still am)
The question was asked
My answer was given
Given, knowing what the outcome might be
The choice was mine
It does not make me a victim
Over and over I have been made this
But I can not believe it
Wrong as it was, young...

Whore
Her look from upon the floor, no words to tell me I was a whore
Although deep in her eyes, I could see her covet
She wishes she was the one who had done it
And just as the last time, for her jealousy I have to pay the fine
She claims to want the wedding white
She know I can see the light
It hurts her that no one loves her that way and she keeps thinking
Someday

Running
In a state of deflection as I jump the tracks
Can't resurrect what you buried so deep
Can't give you any retribution
Though you stole what I gave you
and set my heart on fire as an endless ember
The intimate design of our hearts gone from our invective meeting
Inverting my body, my soul with your iridescent personality
and your frigid mind
Fracturing every part of me that you lay a hand on
I still melt into though I fight with all I have to stay alive
Can't resurrect what you buried so deep
Can't give you any retribution
Though you stole what I gave you
and set my heart on fire as an endless ember
The intimate design of our hearts gone from our invective meeting
Inverting my body, my soul with your iridescent personality
and your frigid mind
Fracturing every part of me that you lay a hand on
I still melt into though I fight with all I have to stay alive
