POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I don't have one style. Sometimes my poems rhyme, sometimes they have alliteration or just a simple rythm or none of the above. I like writing relatable poems.
Element
She is fire, strong uncontrollable fire
The vains in her body boil her blood
She exhales only smoke and ash
Burning her trachea on its way up
A curse, a force
But ignored
He sits, he breaths, he thinks, he handles
Both feet on a path to a logical future
His comfort is unearned confidence
Laughing at pretension and insincerity
Unsettling, admirable
But fenced
He can feel her heat
Burning and smoking through his skin
She can hear thumping
Like an earthquake shaking her ground
He now...

Doesn't phrase me
When just smiling doesn't work anymore
When believing is hoping for a closed door
Can't be me when I have nothing in store
Feeling my feelings has me feeling sore
No use in saying what always gets ignored
Like nothing matters cause what is nothing for
You make my way then want to change like
Making sentence every like to rearrange like
Causing to phrases like phases fade away
Dreaming of you stops the forever sleeping
Nothing matters but now nothing has meaning
And this phrase of me is the one I'm keeping
When believing is hoping for a closed door
Can't be me when I have nothing in store
Feeling my feelings has me feeling sore
No use in saying what always gets ignored
Like nothing matters cause what is nothing for
You make my way then want to change like
Making sentence every like to rearrange like
Causing to phrases like phases fade away
Dreaming of you stops the forever sleeping
Nothing matters but now nothing has meaning
And this phrase of me is the one I'm keeping

Mute
I've said I love you
Two million times in three thousand ways
In five hundred rhymes in four hundred days
And you said I love you too
Will tomorrow keep that truth?
Or will it lose its meaning
Because that happens to me
Say it won't happen to you?
When questioning is everything
Doom pending on me remembering
That there's no definitive ending
A spiral transcending anything you do
My anxiety turns you mute
It renders me helpless
I'm too needy and selfish
Whenever I ask you
I won't run
That's not why...

Be that woman
Try to be kind
And you are boring
Try to be strong
And you are annoying
Close yourself off
And you are bitchy
Make 'm laugh?
Try to be whitty
But not too much
That's arrogant
Listen to them
But be confident
Open up
But don't be too crazy
Be effortless
No, you look lazy
And stupid
And ugly
And whiny
And fake
And loud
And tired
Be real
Be you
The way we like it
And you are boring
Try to be strong
And you are annoying
Close yourself off
And you are bitchy
Make 'm laugh?
Try to be whitty
But not too much
That's arrogant
Listen to them
But be confident
Open up
But don't be too crazy
Be effortless
No, you look lazy
And stupid
And ugly
And whiny
And fake
And loud
And tired
Be real
Be you
The way we like it

On the balcony
There are no stars
But there are lights
Of lampposts and cars
He pointed to a corner
And there she saw
A single firefly
She almost cried
At the obvious metaphor
She's had a slight dim
From the year before
When she saw him at his worst
And reached out
Now that the roles are reversed
She's so proud
And happy she chose him
But there are lights
Of lampposts and cars
He pointed to a corner
And there she saw
A single firefly
She almost cried
At the obvious metaphor
She's had a slight dim
From the year before
When she saw him at his worst
And reached out
Now that the roles are reversed
She's so proud
And happy she chose him

Pictures
The faces on your screen
No pores or pimples
Big eyes and cute noses
Are twenty but look sixteen
Like they're meant to be seen
They have big chests
Big thighs
But not from fat or cellulite
They have muscles that can jiggle
Long legs and their waists snatched
And my stupid self will never match
Their beauty and glow
You like them I know
If I could change my body
I would make me
A little bit taller
My waist a lot smaller
My eyes a lot bigger
I'd have that hourglass figure
Maybe then I'd believe...

My summer
I've already made memories
Of magic
Of friends
Of rollercoaster screams
I've already made mistakes
In clubs
While dancing
With my alcohol intake
I've already been through it
I've cried
missed you
Gone through some shit
Had a lot of sunburn
Seems like a bummer
But it's just the start
Of my hot girl summer
Of magic
Of friends
Of rollercoaster screams
I've already made mistakes
In clubs
While dancing
With my alcohol intake
I've already been through it
I've cried
missed you
Gone through some shit
Had a lot of sunburn
Seems like a bummer
But it's just the start
Of my hot girl summer

Spot
I went to our spot
A few days ago
I call it our spot
You probably don't
I saw all the ships
I saw all the lights
I went to our spot
And there I cried
And there I lost
My freedom, my joy
Forever taken
By a stupid stupid boy

Spalax
Hello everyone
this is a spalax
A type of mole rat
That takes cute to the max
He is blind
But has some really nice teeth
Makes living underground
Look like heaven to me
He has special proteins
That can eliminate cells
Before they get cancerous
We could use him well
Be nice to spalax
He could cure the sick
So don't tell him
He looks like a furry di-

English version:
Every time I see you
The room is filled with fire
And all my ration
Gets taken by desire
Like a light in the chaos
You always shine through
I ask the gods! What makes me
so drawn to you?
Your stories of war
and your stories of loss
Take me back to my husband
The pain it has caused
The vows I made
I could never betray
I'd hold him forever
Even in his grave
I'm like a deer
Struck by an arrow
Turned to madness
All thanks to Cupido
Pray to Venus
That...

English version:
I ruined my reputation
Made a foe out of Iarbas
Endangered my whole nation
All for my dearest Aenas
You talk of your duty
I betrayed my dead husband
You talk of your Italy
A not-yet existing land
Take all my power
Take all you can
So you have to leave?
Then face me like a man!
Speaking of the gods
Remember that day?
That day when fate
brought us up to that cave
Remember the torches
we held so tight
It...

Camera
She knew every secret
Cause she was always listening
Hearing what she thought
was the nature of mankind
Her world was like a film
Made of rumors and whispering
Safe behind the camera
She could hide behind
She made it her hobby
to see the unseen
To hear the words
Desperate to be spoken
But a character disobeyed
And came in between
He saw the girl
And then she opened
He saw the unseen
The girl who listened
And figured her out
Without even trying
It broke her because
She was no...
