POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I do not claim to be a poet or an accomplished writer by any means, I only write what I think, feel and experience within my own little space in the universe and hope it touches someone in someway.
This word I give to you
This word I give to you
Is as precious as new born child
But as fragile as a promise
Waiting to be broken
This word I give to you
Shines as bright as the sun
Or is as dark as a black hole
Consuming all that is near
This word I give to you
Is as mighty as an oceans current
But as gentile as a lazily flowing stream
This word I give to you
Holds the key to ones heart
Or the chains that binds ones soul
This word I give to you
Can be used to suffice ones humble needs
Or satisfy ones selfish...
Is as precious as new born child
But as fragile as a promise
Waiting to be broken
This word I give to you
Shines as bright as the sun
Or is as dark as a black hole
Consuming all that is near
This word I give to you
Is as mighty as an oceans current
But as gentile as a lazily flowing stream
This word I give to you
Holds the key to ones heart
Or the chains that binds ones soul
This word I give to you
Can be used to suffice ones humble needs
Or satisfy ones selfish...

Love Sick
I am listening to your heartbeat
As I lay my head gently upon your breast
My throbbing emotions within
Keeping time with its every beat
As I listen to your life’s blood
Pass through your body
I imagine each corpuscle
Is filled with a tiny bit of my love
As it courses through your veins
To infect every part of your body
Like a disease
Until it finally reaches your brain
Where it’s slowly absorbed into each cell
So that your every thought
Is now only of my love.

To infect every part of your body

Until it finally reaches your brain

So that your every thought
Is now only of my love.

Love is a Battlefield
A thought born from rage
A decision made in haste
An action performed out of anger
As a precious heart’s laid to waste
Trembling lips blow out smoke
From the fatal shot of words spoken
As the sanctity of ones promise
Is left shattered and broken
A soul stained with blood
From that murderous shot
As the words enter the heart
Painful and red hot
A grieving face wet with tears
And the others eyes filled with shame
As misguided emotions
Were most likely to blame
Jealousy,...

Breaking the Rules
I really thought I knew
But I was sadly mistaken
The advantage over me
You had easily taken
The wool had completely
Covered my eyes
As I fell for all your excuses
Promises and lies
You were so dame convincing
Played the part so well
All the while pretending
And I could never even tell
Until the day you faltered
And let your true self out
I finally got a glimpse
Of what you were about
I couldn't really believe it
I didn't want it to be so
But now that you're exposed
I have no...

Maternally Yours
Sorrowful kisses
Placed on a tearful cheek
Flushed with pain and sadness
Comforting arms
Embrace a quivering body
Left shaking with fear and loneliness
Sympathetic words
Caress throbbing ears
As the cries of heartache echo within
Gentle hands
Wipe weeping eyes
That no longer behold
The beauty of ones self-worth
A hopeful smile
Given to a once laughing face
Which now only frowns
With despair and confusion
Understanding silence
Given to impart empathy and love ...

Eternal Flame
The flames still strong
And the light is burning bright
As it did when you ignited it
On our very first night
This unbridled passion
Still lives in my soul
And the physical attraction
I’m still unable to control.
Mind-boggling emotions
Still envelope my being
As it’s your enticing form
In my dreams I am seeing
Our years have not diminished
And our love is still there
The way we stay true
To the honesty we share
Bestowed this wondrous gift
From the universal unknown
We are rewarded...

Sweet Love
Thy own bright eyes
Truth and beauty
Shall together thrive
But from thine eyes
My knowledge of love
I shall derive.
Bereft and torn
Thy tortured heart and soul
Within my gentle hands
Mended;
and alas made whole
So shall I live,
Supposing thou art true,
Sweet love,
Thy force renew
Truth and beauty
Shall together thrive
But from thine eyes
My knowledge of love
I shall derive.
Bereft and torn
Thy tortured heart and soul
Within my gentle hands
Mended;
and alas made whole
So shall I live,
Supposing thou art true,
Sweet love,
Thy force renew

All Lives Matter
How am I
To live a meaningful life
In a world full of misery
Inhumanity and strife
To dodge all the pitfalls
That lead us all to sin
Knowing good and well
It’s a battle we’ll never win
How am I
To be able to cope
In a society full racism
And a world who’s lost hope
To be reassured of a future
Where mankind still has a place
On this planet we have treated
With devastation and disgrace
Will my children be left
With a planet beyond repair
A wasteland of religious hatred
Do we...

Lost identity
How can this be?
That this face I now see
Was the face of blissful youth
And everything yet to be
It’s now twisted in hatred
Misery and pain
My Life's hard lessons
Have clearly been in vain
Those once innocent eyes
Bright and filled with wonder
Now dark and full of contempt
From the dark spell I’ve fallen under
Drained of everything
That was wholesome and clean
Unable to remember what hope
Or happiness really mean
Now staring back at me
Are eyes that now see,
The reflection that...
That this face I now see

And everything yet to be
It’s now twisted in hatred

Now dark and full of contempt
From the dark spell I’ve fallen under
Drained of everything
That was wholesome and clean

Or happiness really mean
Now staring back at me
Are eyes that now see,

Lost & Found
I am no longer lost
For you have guided my way
With your loving light
I am no longer alone
For your shadow accompanies me
On my new life’s journey
I am no longer afraid
For you comfort me
In your loving arms
I can see clearly
For you have opened my eyes
So I may find life’s beauty and purpose
You gave me your wisdom and reassurance
So that I may understand your love
And the truths of its meaning
Within my own reality
For you have guided my way
With your loving light
I am no longer alone
For your shadow accompanies me
On my new life’s journey
I am no longer afraid
For you comfort me
In your loving arms
I can see clearly
For you have opened my eyes
So I may find life’s beauty and purpose
You gave me your wisdom and reassurance
So that I may understand your love
And the truths of its meaning
Within my own reality

Out of the Mist
Like a spirit bathed in a soft warm light
You stepped out of the ethereal mist
Your beckoning smile
I could not resist
Your presence was overwhelming,
And engulfing my senses,
Shattering my world
And destroying my defenses
You reached out your hand
And as I held it in mine,
I felt the power of your glory
And now know the meaning of divine
Your touch was so tender
It made my heart weak,
My body felt limp
And I could not even speak
You looked deep in my soul
With eyes so...
