POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Through a sickly life of pain and torment came a love that weighed it all away from my bones and now that love is gone the truth is that I will always love Thomas but now must carry what he was with me. I am my own salvation.
Vivaldi's Trio Sonata 'La Follia' in D Minor RV63 ( Lonicera )
Push out, shut up, lay back, breathe gently, pull me down into the sheets which heat and drape and rub against bare skin you created.
Groaning sinners, loving siblings, lonely lovers.
Saving me with each kiss upon my shoulder, the lips of the gauntlet of an desirable man lay on my own.
Stir the thoughts in my head, the sexual desire as you ride your body closely to mine,
we can't control what we do.
Drowning in hight paced notes of steel,
the forever breaking point of screaming, the gripping, the sighing, the blushing it's always there.
You know I love you,...
Groaning sinners, loving siblings, lonely lovers.
Saving me with each kiss upon my shoulder, the lips of the gauntlet of an desirable man lay on my own.
Stir the thoughts in my head, the sexual desire as you ride your body closely to mine,
we can't control what we do.
Drowning in hight paced notes of steel,
the forever breaking point of screaming, the gripping, the sighing, the blushing it's always there.

Traumatic Leaves ( Asphodelus )
A flash of hot green dips into my drink and I fear I may look deeper,
freeze now as 'fathers' footsteps bring his clutch to my arm, pulling against my small frame to follow.
"Dad, where are we going?" I ask, gentleand hushed.
He does not answer when the basement is out of my reach and the black silk of the car I am trapped in.
The leather how it burns through the fabric of my dress when I see the dark haired man known as Charles.
Though I am older, I still am confused, the window is black and the driver won't talk.
I'm being stared at...
I feel...

Mother, May I? ( Lobelia )
..And what awaits a distant time of death and sea born waking?
An untimely death in the cold cup of tea which tastes like salty water, it tastes like a last breath before a plunge in the deep end, doesn't it?
Paper folded upon paper under dirt and brick and rust of metal that hides so deeply in silk hands of paint and need.
The clock!
The clock!
It struck the last note!
Alas I see the pumpkin and key behind a mask of direst joy, no cruel intentions but-Dear, oh my, what hand betrays me in this time beneath the waves of purple?
LIES!
I do cry murder, murder!...

.Damaged. ( Delphinium Cypress )
Stale maple chips lay in the bottom of cold tea.
Dispair fills the cup of utter blank black, dripping coffee stains on china glass.
Crumbling blue swirls across the cup rust to blood from my split lip.
A crack forms near the little red blotch known as a heart.
Bags of grey slim fold under grease.
The handle falls off the edge and suddenly the string is laced with blades so the glass screeches.
Deep lines crawl across the belly of the cup so red dribbles down onto concrete.
The cup teeters off the edge of the table, wobbling, wishing, pleading, the cord ripping, the...

I'll join you. ( White Trifolium )
Tea tastes like oil.
Music sounds like screaming.
Words look like hallucinations.
I have no idea if I'm even typing this.
If this is real.
I may say sorry.
Ten cups are broken so I may
walk on glass all day long.
Mania has subsided and
depression hasn't left at it's usual hour.
Since 'father' loves Thomas the most
he moved out but not before shutting me down.
'Mother' hasn't spoken though
I am not used to the weary eyes she gives me.
He built me up, Thomas, I thought I could escpae my
life.
These damned disorders with their...

Lovely Little Dreamer ( Aloe Succotrina )
"Why can't you be normal Emma?!"
I was at the asphalt at the moment you spoke those,
little,
harsh,
roaring words.
Don't blame me for all the years you were asleep,
unseeing,
ignoring,
ignorant sight.
Manic Depression is curable but I will always feel melancholy,
depressed,
suicidal,
bound tight.
Not even steel boned corsets can keep me in my place,
upright,
normal,
happy smiles.
My violin is all that I know but you destroy that,
killed,
cracked,
utterly broken.
Thoughts won't stop thinking...

Burnt winter ( Plumeria )
An enlarged black pupil seeing into the face that leans close to the screen trying to get a better look at the smirking man in the computer.
A circle of light, almost snow, blue iris hypnotizing the green eyes that stare intently back, waiting for the hallucination to re-appear, or was that real?
A semi wide tear duct is noticed after staring for an overly amount of time at the man who shows the small characteristic of being lonely.
She can see the white of the screen as he takes the picture in the clear cornea, see the screen blistering white off the black of his pupil she so...

Fragmented memories ( Malva )
Sighs.
Rosey cheeks.
Gentle whispers.
Soft kisses.
Slowly thrusting.
Sheets heating.
Sshh the bed is creaking.
Hearts bleeding.
Hallucinations distant.
Scared feelings.
Thrilling pleasure.
Lust busting.
Cruel passions of steel.
Spilling into one another.
Sighs moving to moans.
Don't let them come home.
Does anyone need to know?
Nails scratching.
Breathes catching.
Backs arching.
We collide.
Drift.
Float.
Fall.
Crash.
Burn.
Hold each other...

Untilted Jar ( Amaranthus Caudatus )
Empty,
brisk,
damp,
cold,
alone.
Those things I am forever shunned into for I am a lepor, one with thin skin to stretch over sharp bones, one with sunken green eyes like the deep part of a lake waiting to be rippled, one with dark circles of sleeplessness under my waterlines. My mouth is forever rotted with the acid I gurgle out between my teeth so that you may see the sharpness of my fangs that I can one day sink them into your cold flesh with the harsh intent to murder and ravage the crystalized pieces of you.
Have you ever picked up a man in your...
