POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Blah-trouble-blah-bad relationships-blah-people die-drugs-fuckin blah-I write all this shit down in some way, twisted in metaphor, verbs slung through vague descriptions or blunt force with harsh words. Blah-
Love and Surfing
Sunrise and sunset.
I hurt myself over and over.
Get back on the board and ride.
I hate my own bitter heart.
I detest my wounded pride.
So I repeat the murder of my inner surfer.
Shoot her in the head.
She never fully dies.
Instead she kills me slowly with romantic cyanide.
Pulling pieces of me out with the high tide.
I am reanimated and brought back to life upon the foam.
To ride once again, so on the beach I roam.
Waves crashing are like lovers meeting.

Abuse of Power
You have this control over me
Able to twist and turn my mind and body
You didn't ask for this to be
Nonetheless you got it baby
All of me, everything I am is yours
I submit completely every time
No need to use excessive force
I confess my emotional crimes
Gladly put my hands above my head
And surrender as you take me to bed
But still, you abuse your power
Let me sit and wait for hours
Keeping me alive but unnourished
Disappearing before a story can flourish
Never telling me what I am to you
Or when you'll let me leave...
Able to twist and turn my mind and body
You didn't ask for this to be
Nonetheless you got it baby
All of me, everything I am is yours
I submit completely every time
No need to use excessive force
I confess my emotional crimes
Gladly put my hands above my head
And surrender as you take me to bed
But still, you abuse your power
Let me sit and wait for hours
Keeping me alive but unnourished
Disappearing before a story can flourish
Never telling me what I am to you
Or when you'll let me leave...

The Tower
Locked in a tower
Dark and swirling stones
Dragon built of trauma and pain
Guarding my crown and throne
True love doesn’t fail or feign
So I’m trapped, waiting for the hero to arrive
A strong and deserving soul
In service this man will thrive
But what he feels no one knows
I sit, wishing his heart would be brave
Overcome his wounds and fear of rejection
Dreaming of his love takes me out on a wave
Seeing myself in his reflection
Hoping he will come take me away
That he will slay whatever stands in our way
...

Fireworks
It’s the fourth of July my dear
I still feel you inside me
Even when you’re not here
Like fireworks exploding
I tingle and shift in my chair
I close my eyes and moan, but you’re not there
Physical memories so perfectly clear
Those epic fireworks they are my greatest fear
7/4/23 For Shawn

Succubus
I am a succubus
In sex and of your time
I will rob you dear
All you have will be mine
I have the power here
Need I remind?

Misdirection of Passion
My passion can go any which way
In all directions
Sometimes feeling like an infection
A thing that spreads over all I touch
Sometimes my passion can be…just, way too much
All consuming and disruptive
Holding us both like captives
Making me sick and twisting my logic
Turning my mind chaotic
Forcing me to be something I am not
This version, a girl searching to know your plot
Your scheme, your game, what lies between
Why I seem to be so unseen
The eventual ways you will destroy me
The never ending analyzing ...

Honesty and orgasms
Such a task to keep them combined
Stability and electricity
So difficult to align
Passion and comfort
Seems like something we’ll never find
Trust and excitement
Is one always on rewind?
In love and in lust forever, is it a lie?
Something we tell ourselves so the dream doesn’t die

Limerence
Does this only live in my fantasies?
The connection and intensity.
The healing I feel from your presence.
Is it only limerence?
A twisted way to soothe my pained existence.
Am I obsessed with the reflections?
And not in the moment for interactions.
Are the memories better than the experience?
Is it only limerence?
A means for me to build up resistance.
Do you not feel it too?
Did I not make you feel desired, appreciated and seen?
I saw you as a God but did you not see me as a Queen?
Something inside me...
The connection and intensity.
The healing I feel from your presence.
Is it only limerence?

If only...
If we could just remove all our wounds, heal the damage left from past lovers, from parents, abusers, liars and users.
If we could meet again at a different time. Maybe I could be yours and you could be mine. A time when you’re not busy and burned. Scarred from years left unloved or unearned. A time when I’m not beyond the point of no return. Treated so cruelly, burned so thoroughly I became the center of fire. The blue flame of bad behavior.
If we could just say the right things. Both of us, emotionally tripping over each other constantly. Stumbling, trying to stand up only to...

The unknown and the darkness of us...
You once told me that the unknown and the dark are the only two things people naturally fear. That all others are learned over years.
I told you I find the unknown fascinating. And I love the dark.
We looked at each other and again, there was that spark.
I didn’t account for the unknown feelings of someone you’re falling for.
That is terrifying. What’s behind those locked doors?
So much scarier than the afterlife, if God exists or what’s hiding in a dark cavern.
What we might find out about each other, the rotten and broken things we learn.
The darkest...

Our Corner Of Heaven
You are such a perfect muse
No other I’d rather use
For the fodder than makes me better
Or the midnight love we share together
All the odd rhythms that synch our wishes
The reality that rips our stitches
A silence that stretches out between us
Breaking the cloud of all consuming lust
A playback reel, a corrosive stain left like rust
Internal screams meant to break some
The sirens from which we run
I will never refuse you my sweet
Or the tainted nectar we share in dreams
Some corner of heaven where we hope to meet ...
