POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Music
Music
Lost in the sound.
Eyes closed, dancing alone.
The music moves through her,
And she moves with it.
It is part of her
Like its written on her skin.
Words cover her body,
Notes sing in her head.
Needing it like breath,
Filling her, sustaining her.
Beautiful and rich,
It fills the air all around her.
She dances alone,
And she doesn't even notice.[/font]

Love vs Pain
Love vs Pain.
Love blinds us to Pain.
But when Love is doubted
Pain takes its prize.
Blinding us to the light we once clung to.
Making us hide.
Hide in the darkness of our own hearts.
Growing Pain in the gloom.
Pain keeps us hidden.
Hidden from Love, the only cure.
A Paradox.
Shall we be swaddled in Pain?
Shall we be ignorant to Love?
Or shall we answer its calls?...
Love blinds us to Pain.
But when Love is doubted
Pain takes its prize.
Blinding us to the light we once clung to.
Making us hide.
Hide in the darkness of our own hearts.
Growing Pain in the gloom.
Pain keeps us hidden.
Hidden from Love, the only cure.
A Paradox.
Shall we be swaddled in Pain?
Shall we be ignorant to Love?
Or shall we answer its calls?...

Fight Club Chapter 3
Jordyn rolled over, half asleep, unwilling to open her eyes to the dreary sunlight filtering in through the window. She was just about to fall back asleep when she remembered the heap of chores she had to do today. She cracked her eyes open and looked around. Clothes littered the floor, thrown off and forgotten. Dishes were piled in their little sink and takeout boxes covered the table. She sat up, sighed and stretched, and glanced over at Kale. Still sound asleep, mouth slightly agape, snoring softly. She brushed some unruly hair off his forehead and planting a kiss on his nose, she stood up...

Young Love
Kale was living the ultimate sappy teen movie. Beautiful, blonde haired, blue eyed girl from the suburbs meets rough and tough ruffian from the ghetto. Immediately, they fall in love, Kale providing the taste of danger and excitement she lacked in her safe and normal life, and Jordyn finding the heart and soul in a man known only for his fists. Kale giving her edgy thrills and adventure, and Jordyn giving him love, compassion and a sense of home.How very cliché,he thought smiling to himself. Although he doubted any self-respecting movie producer would put what they had just done in a movie...

Problem Solver
Always the one people run to.
Always the one who needs to stay strong.
Always the one who is ready to listen.
Alwaysthe one who solves the problems.
Never the one to complain.
Never the one who turns anyone away.
Never the one who thinks only for herself.
Never the one to leave someone suffering.
Always the one who stands up for those who can't.
Always the one her friends tell first.
Always the one who holds everyones secrets.
Never the one to tattle.
Never the one for bullying.

Fight Club Chapter 2
As they walked through the dark and deprecated slum, Jordyn felt completely safe. Even with her pale skin and blue eyes completely at odds with the majorities coloring, she felt completely at home with her hand in Kale's.
"You did great tonight, baby," She said happily, bouncing a little with each step. "That was a big fight for us, wasn't it?"
"It was, huge! Made us more than enough to last this month and the next," He said, looking down at her. She had to crane her neck to see his face, he was so tall, but she could tell even through the shadows that he was smiling.

Fight Club, Chapter 1
Jordyn watched the fight. Uppercut, cross, kick, the two were evenly matched. Blow for blow she watch, fingers crossed in her coat pocket. Loud, sweaty men jostled her from all sides, placing bets and calling shots. Clinging to her spot at the very edge of the ring of people encircling the dueling pair, Jordyn winced as her favorite took a hard shot to the face. His head snapped sideways and she could see spit and sweat fly out in an arc. C'mon baby she thought C'mon you can do this. For me, baby, do it for me. She willed him to feel her thoughts. Eyes boring into his head, she willed him to...

Bedtime Story
A blank page
A clean slate
Another chance
Before its too late
To rethink life
To do what's right
To expel these thoughts
That haunt me tonight
Write it all down
Get it all out
Fill this page
Leave nary a doubt
Clear my heart
Empty my head
Rid me of these feelings
Before i go to bed
So sleep can find me
I'll rest awhile
And dream of things
That make me smile
A clean slate
Another chance
Before its too late
To rethink life
To do what's right
To expel these thoughts
That haunt me tonight
Write it all down
Get it all out
Fill this page
Leave nary a doubt
Clear my heart
Empty my head
Rid me of these feelings
Before i go to bed
So sleep can find me
I'll rest awhile
And dream of things
That make me smile
