POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write because I'm passionate about 2 things. The written word itself and well...Life is a series of trade-offs. If I can't keep my heart, But I am doomed to keep its secrets I can at least write about it.

Hate
I hate the way you made me feel
From princess to pauper
From class to ruin
A mate of convenience
A lover who hates you
A thorn in my side
A scorn like dry ice
So resentful--I want to ruin your life
A man I admired to a man I despise
Once I adored you, it was in my eyes
A naive mind, a wounded heart
Ensured I'd fall for your charm
And your jokes,
your lips spoke flattery of the smoothest sorts
Intimacy rooted strong like an oak tree
to loyalty fleeting like leaves in a breeze
Soft on me like a fresh fallen snow ...

Love and Loss
Intuition or inclination,
the torch I carried, my motivation
The lead in my novel, The binding of my book
the burning flame of the candle, wanting to learn how to cook
Running the extra mile, the reason I wanted a perfect smile.
Even knowing that ship had sailed,
I still desired to be your perfection, whatever that entailed.
The look in your eyes-how much independence I sought,
I listened to you, wanted to know all your thoughts.
The number on the scale, the scent you inhaled,
even what color I chose to paint my nails. ...

I’d like to say
I’d like to say- it was a difference of opinion.
I could say we are incompatible because of religion.
I can use examples of boundaries that were crossed
Or a lack of respect, you simply brushed off
But when we get to the heart of the matter
It really boils down to you couldn’t love me better.
Maybe-you don’t know how
Maybe you lost interest-in the here and now
I wish I could say we could fix things through our approach
Or we can heal that which matters most
The truth is that we are just very different

Hourglass
I wasn’t your future
I was only a moment
This secret I held, was one you didn’t
I knew in this hourglass of life, I was only a minute
Make out sessions in the parking lot
Sitting on the trunk and you pulling me in
For one last goodnight kiss
We talked for hours
then came those late nights together in the shower
You worshipped my body and called me your goddess
But it was only a moment, til the future moved on without us
I knew in this hourglass of life, I was only a minute
and that you’d be ok...

The Stranger's Wife
Touching the mirror, I look in
My hand on the other side, a beautiful friend
In my life, I reflect
On all I lost and all that's left
So full of life, is the girl on the other side
She knows not, what is to come in her life
I could choose to tell her, the terrors
Or lie to her, that it will be better
I see, she has hopes and dreams
To put out that light, has no purpose it seems
Do I warn her of heartaches to come
Or her drowning her sorrows in Malibu Rum
Should she know, she'll only be able to cry 3x in a...

A wife's Fable
You were Superman, I was your Lois Lane
You were like Spiderman, I was your Mary Jane
Together I felt like the Princess of Power
To rule by your side with a crown of honor
You're not Peter Parker
I'm not Mary Jane
You are the Joker
And I am a game
I was your Dr. Of sorts, but couldn't make you sane
This counseling session ceased within the hour
And I'm not your princess, with any sort of power
I'm not the Lois to your Clark
And I now know the Knight is getting Dark
This wonder of a woman, 9 lives...

Hey...Whatcha doin?
Not much Lover
you still hurtin?
You must be a glutton for punishment
Our lives will never be the way we want
Yeah...I know.
Are you busy?
Should I let you go?
You know it always starts like this
I'll stay on the line
cause you know, I've missed
missed you so much
like a parched woman thirsts
But I'm a glutton for punishment

Some say
Some say the earth is flat, we know it's round
Some say when you get lost, that's when your found
And some say every cloud has its silver lining
Some say fate is all about timing
And tears are just an irritated chemical reaction
And love is just infatuation
But I've felt security when wrapped in your Arms
Never has a voice, held so much charm
And home never felt so real
To one whose heart refused to feel
Some say the earth is flat, we know it's round

Split
My heart is split in two.
And it's all because of you.
I could blame you for what I gave up
What I took for granted. Standing with tears and empty handed.
The foolish notions
A naive girl, one who split and tore,
clawed at the world.
Dreams, a fantasy,
she broke. she bled. scarred for eternity.
Now standing here holding what she's never had and split in two cause she can't go back.
And all the things she took for granted haunt her day and night.
Should she stay with a man who loves her the way she's always wanted
or leave and...

But he holds my hand-UPDATE- he was a liar and I have poor decision maker. Sweet talker- no knight-a loser in tinfoil
He calls me beautiful
Wants to hold my hand, thought my snoring was cute, even my drool on his arm
I'm thinking this guy has gone nuts
Til he stares in my eyes
and says he's never seen anything more beautiful than mine
He says he is a romantic but not the normal kind not likely to bring flowers but instead chocolate and fries
I guess that's his idea of wooing
And it's nice to know
He enjoys my company even if my legs are closed.
And says he watches too many kids shows
That's why he's giving me Eskimo kisses on my nose. And after...

Im ready now
I never thought this day would come, where I could be at peace with my decision
Loving people doesn't always make sense, nor is there always a reason
the heart can want what it wants, and the mind can think as it does
But after an epiphany, a doubt of resolve, is no longer what it was
To know I loved you once and I loved you again
To know you never did, makes it hard to be your friend
But as the saying goes, Big girls don't cry
its no longer about you...but me, myself, and I
I could say a million things, tell you each and every thing that hurt me
But what...
