POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Welcome to my secret poetry book. I've always kept my writing private but recently decided to start sharing with strangers. I'm not very good but I'd greatly appreciate feedback and commendation on my writing. I'm new to this but working very hard.
Some Nights
Most nights I want to feel the comfort of your body pressed to mine
your body heat warming me up on the most frigid nights
your warm embrace pulling me into your chest that feels like home where I can fall asleep listening to the rhythmic beat of your heart
But then there are the nights I want to feel your desire
to feel the yearning and longing that courses through you
to feel the magic in your finger tips as they write poems of passion inside of me
to feel your hand wrapped firmly around my throat pulling me closer so I can lick and taste every...

Magic
Your lips brush against my ear
the soft, gentle whispers that passes through them swells my heart
the magic in your voice turns every word into a brilliant star
filling my night sky with shimmering constellations of love letters
the soft, gentle whispers that passes through them swells my heart
the magic in your voice turns every word into a brilliant star
filling my night sky with shimmering constellations of love letters

I lick the honey from your lips
and
taste the wildflowers that bloom inside your chest

The Red
These days I tend to see red
The gnawing feeling of being left on read
I still feel your last words pounding against the inside of my head
Carving their way into my brain
I should let you go but I can’t do that on my own
You can’t just pretend that you don’t know me anymore
9 years and 2 months clogging up the drain, the memories I refuse to erase
I took my time and gave you your space
But I’d rather you scream in my face
My bones ache under the heavy weight of your distaste
I can’t just sit around and wait
I’d rather just have you...

I don’t know
The flame of an aromatherapy candle offers me more comfort then the desitful lies that slither through your lips to my heart

him
One of the most beautiful and gratifying parts of loving a guarded boy is that moment when you see the flicker behind the cracks in his burdensome armor as the begin to spiderweb from their heart to their toes and dwindles away. Its then that you see the thorns wrapped around their half beating heart retract and let your love plummet through his deflated veins. Its when you see those vacant look fade away and their hollow yet yearning eyes become burnished and fill with assurance and adoration.

first
there's a burning beneath my rib-cage
you saw me having trouble breathing
you knew that it was all your fault
the shattered look filled your vacant eyes
my lungs now over flowing with lies that passed through parted lips during tender kisses
you opened me up with your worthless fucking hands, gorging on my naive adoration
you stowed deceit and deception deep beneath my flesh, then stitched me back up with rust and
poison ivy
I'm collapsing and you left me to decay
waiting for tetanus to rot through my body
I'm helpless and drowning...

untitled III
Will you remember me?
Will you remember me when the walls start crumbling down?
Will you remember me when I'm left buried in the rubble rotting into the ground? The black barbed vines emerging around me? Ripping through me, ribboning me as they twist and pull me deeper and deeper?
Will you remember me when the debris seeps into your brain replacing me with soot and smog that try to veil me away?
Will you remember me when I become nothing more than a breeze rolling through your window lifting the snowy coating of dust settling upon your unopened books
Your spine as...

admirable
hatred is not clever
It simple minded and facile
never having to be just or fair
there is no effort and practice put behind it
when you fight a war cloaked in enmity you are not a hero
but purest and most tender test of strength and resourcefulness is to love another
it can take years of patience to learn to love wholeheartedly
it takes courage to give your compassion and devotion to another
it shows true admirable aspiration

swallow
would it help if I say that I'm sorry?
you know those words will sit on my tongue until they erode it away, until they rot the teeth right out of my head
but it aches my sardonic heart to know that you take time out of your day to make sure I'm okay
even while you struggled to roll out of your bed and felt so vacant like you could wither away
it pains me to know you would rather see me smile even when you felt like you'd rather decay
i want to apologize for all of those days but I've swallowed down those sentiments
they try to claw their way back up but I...

naive
words as sweet and gritty as honey spill from your angelic lips
the sticky fabrication of your enchanting deceit play a wooing bewitchment upon my unsuspecting naive heart
I've lost myself in your whimsical myth of love and tenderness
and
let myself get tangled up in your tranquil deception and distortion of passion
my wide doe eyes staring up at you clouded over by a misting illusion of admirable devotion
you pull me closer into your embrace of fraudulent cherishing warmth
our bones crushing together and our marrow mixing
your corrupted ossein...

ghost
There's a Ghost down the hall, another twisted shadow dancing across the floor
He calls to me at night, his bellows and weeps echo through the walls
He whispers your name taunting me till daylight
I've begged him to leave and stop giving me a fright
but tonight he slips through the locked door and slithers under my sheets
I can't tell if he's a real creature of night or just a trick of light, a phantom left lurking to fill the void you left behind gnawing and aching inside my chest
he comes to rest on your side of the mattress making it his Egyptian cotton...
He calls to me at night, his bellows and weeps echo through the walls
He whispers your name taunting me till daylight
I've begged him to leave and stop giving me a fright
but tonight he slips through the locked door and slithers under my sheets
I can't tell if he's a real creature of night or just a trick of light, a phantom left lurking to fill the void you left behind gnawing and aching inside my chest
he comes to rest on your side of the mattress making it his Egyptian cotton...
