POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I just don't know.
Escapism You
I have drowned in this fantasy all too often
You holding me as the sun comes up
Casting long sliver shadows through the shades
The blankets wrapped around our legs
You bite my shoulder and I laugh pushing you off
My attempts at leaving the bed are foiled by
Your quickness to capture me seamless
Holding me hostage with light kisses
It's this mist of intimacy I drown in
Hundreds of dreams featuring you
Thousands and thousands of daydreams
You live in my mind in an endless escape world
Could reality be better than the you in my mind? ...
You holding me as the sun comes up
Casting long sliver shadows through the shades
The blankets wrapped around our legs
You bite my shoulder and I laugh pushing you off
My attempts at leaving the bed are foiled by
Your quickness to capture me seamless
Holding me hostage with light kisses
It's this mist of intimacy I drown in
Hundreds of dreams featuring you
Thousands and thousands of daydreams
You live in my mind in an endless escape world
Could reality be better than the you in my mind? ...

that love in your touch
You weren't supposed to want me
You weren't supposed to look at me
With eyes filling with everything you can't say
You've always sucked with words for me
You truly can't seem to say it out loud
But the moment you pulled me close
Your face inches from mine I knew
That you loved me still and always will
Hand gently in my hair and tracing my skin
Physical touch... It's all that you have for me
Laying upon me your face in that holy space
Where neck meets shoulder and you breathe in
Stealing my soul with a single deep inhale
And all...
You weren't supposed to look at me

That you loved me still and always will
Hand gently in my hair and tracing my skin
Physical touch... It's all that you have for me
Laying upon me your face in that holy space
Where neck meets shoulder and you breathe in
Stealing my soul with a single deep inhale
And all...

Puppet Master
Red string of fate wrapped like a noose
Dragging me kicking and screaming up with you
Back and forth we swing; puppets of an angry god
I love you more than the air I'm struggling to breathe
Trapped with you in this torturous spinning mobile
There really is no real choice when I'm with you
It's all some kind of game we're forced to play
Forth and back we sway wondering if we're even real
Do you really love me? Do I love you?
Does it matter in the end we're still here swinging?
We're just puppets playing under the hand of fate
Dragging me kicking and screaming up with you
Back and forth we swing; puppets of an angry god
I love you more than the air I'm struggling to breathe
Trapped with you in this torturous spinning mobile
There really is no real choice when I'm with you
It's all some kind of game we're forced to play
Forth and back we sway wondering if we're even real
Do you really love me? Do I love you?
Does it matter in the end we're still here swinging?
We're just puppets playing under the hand of fate

The One Who Listens
To the one who listens
You've heard me cry all my life
Be angry and bitter at it all
But you're still passively there
You could change it all but you won't
Why change anything when it's entertaining?
You've heard me cry all my life
Be angry and bitter at it all
But you're still passively there
You could change it all but you won't

Shattered Name
That broken glass sound
Of your name rolling off
My bloodied tongue
Of your name rolling off
My bloodied tongue

Raspberry Fields
I climb up high one foot on one rock until I reach the top
The sky is that perfect blended orange in reddish pink
Sitting on this wall I look over the raspberry fields
Red berries glimmering in that sunset light
Shimmering jewels in their safety net of thorns
If only I could have that... To drape myself in thorns
Protecting this raspberry heart from the world
The intrusive thoughts cloud my mind and I close my eyes
Trust fall into raspberry fields under sherbet sky
One can't tell the sweet juice and the dark ruby blood
Thorns finally...

because you're mine
I look at you and you look at me
We both know what the others thinking
It isn't fair and isn't right but we're still thinking it
My eyes trace your jaw and yours trace my lips
It'll never go anywhere it just drowns in yearning
I catch it in glimpses out the corner of my eye
When you don't think I know your eyes are on me
You look at me in a way that makes my heart break
There's no way that feeling isn't mirrored in mine
Wanting something we can't have is heavy as hell
There's a love here that we try to drown deep inside

Hello Whiskey, it's me again
The burning taste of failure heavy in my throat
Fought with that wonderful amber liquid kryptonite
Here's to being drowned in a failed savior complex
One more sip, one more mistake, one more time I'm wrong
I shouldn't be drinking I can agree with that
but this bottle is something I can't say no to
Fuck the people who keep telling me it's okay
It is not okay to be me and fail so hard so often
So let me drink myself to sleep please, please
Let the amber arms comfort me into oblivion
Taste of sleep and memories I want to forget
Just let me...

haunted touch
Do you think about your hands on me?
Does the memory of my skin ever get stuck in your mind
That sweet softness and supple give to my body
The scars you would trace ever so gently
Studying with your fingers as if they were braille
You'd follow the shape of my lips with your thumb
As you looked at me in a way no one else ever has
You used to have all the excuses and reason to touch me
Does it haunt you that you will never touch me again?
Does the memory of my skin ever get stuck in your mind
That sweet softness and supple give to my body
The scars you would trace ever so gently
Studying with your fingers as if they were braille
You'd follow the shape of my lips with your thumb
As you looked at me in a way no one else ever has
You used to have all the excuses and reason to touch me
Does it haunt you that you will never touch me again?

Rotten Neurons
I'm missing something
And I truly don't know what
Feel like I've ignored a pain and
It turned out to be an infected cut
I would in a singular heartbeat
Take a pair of scissors into my hand
And cut the neurons rotting away
In my head that makes me think
And I truly don't know what
Feel like I've ignored a pain and
It turned out to be an infected cut
I would in a singular heartbeat
Take a pair of scissors into my hand
And cut the neurons rotting away
In my head that makes me think

star dusted lust
I've a fistful of hours; a mouthful of dreams
Roughly finding the lust of life in their mouth
Hands crushingly passionate in the dark
But when those star lit shimmering dreams
Are brought, no... Dragged into the all too bright day
That soft glowing stardust left quickly fades away
And the bruises left hurt when the lust fades away
Roughly finding the lust of life in their mouth
Hands crushingly passionate in the dark
But when those star lit shimmering dreams
Are brought, no... Dragged into the all too bright day
That soft glowing stardust left quickly fades away
And the bruises left hurt when the lust fades away

Grey Amber
The moment I'm around them I hold my breath
Just trying to make the moment last
But no matter how hard I try it always goes too fast
I want to pull them down to my level make them see
The hectic affect they simply have always had on me
Hoping to catch them and put them in amber
Trying to keep that fire burning forever
Just trying to make the moment last
But no matter how hard I try it always goes too fast
I want to pull them down to my level make them see
The hectic affect they simply have always had on me
Hoping to catch them and put them in amber
Trying to keep that fire burning forever
