POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I am a newer poet, but that doesn't mean my short and sweet poetry can't make you reflect back on yourself. Whether it's about love, bad relationship, not being heard, standing up for yourself, or to have a laugh. I'll be here....
That box with your name on it
That box with your name on it
On the the top self of my closet
Covered in a layer of dust
You wanted your own space
Now you have a full shelf
Are you happy up there, all labeled?
The box of evidence
A.) The movie ticket where we had our first encounter
B.) The valentine you gave me
C.) The ticket to the fair, where we made a candle that was never burned
D.) The card you gave me on our anniversary
E.) The note I wrote: what I was going to say to you when it was over
I'm over you
I hope your happy
because there is a reason...

Why is it so hard not to care what people think
You say your "brutally honest" or can you just not control What comes out of your mouth
Because the funny thing is, your only "Honest" when your in one of your moods
When your so freaking angry at the world you hurt me
Your insecure to me and then when push comes to shove
Suddenly I'm back handed from one of your comments
That I'm ugly
Now I am strong enough to dismiss this as untrue
But when it comes from you
YOU
I question things
Were people lying to me?
Look everyone judges each other
It's natural, we were taught very...

All out of band-aids
When a hurricane strikes
Lives lost, homes destroyed
No schools, no supplies store
Hospitals packed with others worse off than you
but it doesn't feel like that,
Who else lost everything?
The HOME where I share memories
Of..the hole in the wall,
When I fell off my bike at the age of 9 and cut my knee,
What about the the laundry room door where my mom wrote my height through the years,
All my journals, art work, and photos
Now I'm in a packed rescue center, over filled with strangers, families sleeping just feet away ...

Wish on eyelashes
Because of you
I wish on eyelashes
I dare to dream.......of you
Thousands of miles away
And your on my mind...
On a different continent and I smile
.....at the thought of you
Imagining your arms around me
Breathing in your scent
Intoxicated by your presence
My eyes closed tight
Because I think its a dream
That if I open them you'll be gone
I'll be far, far away
Looking out the window of my day-dream
And see you waving me good-bye
Slowly fading to the darkness
Your thousands of miles...

Looking out the window of my day-dream
And see you waving me good-bye

His Beauty
I see him through
The eyes of another
He is a icon
Of a Handsome young chap
But i see
Something else
Through the Cheeky eyes
And the amazing hair
A glimpse of pure beauty
It's a moment
Of unplanned
Natural
Out of control
Smile
Between the moment
When he smiles to
The transfer into a laugh
Right before he covers his mouth
It's perfect...
This smile
Wow this smile
It's powerful
Fills a room
All eyes on him
He has no idea
The beauty of this
And how it make me feel ...

Life is a Box of Chocolates (not sure its finished, would love input)
If my life is a box of chocolates
I hope i can think outside of the box
There a good chocolates, creamy milk chocolate, crunchy nuts, gooey carmel
And then there is the god awful fruity berry crap that questions everything
Why is that in the same box as chocolate?
I want chocolate
I bought CHOCOLATE
Not strawberry, coconut combo paste that infection the se-rounding chocolate
Who even thought of that?.. coconut and strawberry
It doesn't belong
It makes me feel like i wasted my time and money
To think one thing in life could go...

Babe
Your the Ying to my Yang
The one who i want to make smile
The one, the only one I would ever let eat off my plate
The one who I start my day with a good mornings text
The one I dream about
The one i get dressed up for
The one I run to when my day sucks
The one I make time for
The one who i let control the radio
The one you can pick out the movie
The one who makes every profile picture
The one who is invited first to all my get togethers
The one who makes me love to laugh
The one i would dance in the rain with
The one i call...

Disrespectful
I hate the way you talk to me
When you use those words
Say it in that tone
Look at me with that look in you eyes
I've told you that it hurts me
That I hate those words to my very core
You don't care
You use it as ammo, to your benefit
Its annoying, rude, mean, painful, frustrating
When you talk to me like that
I want to slice your throat open
And dig for your vocal cords
So I can rip them out, with my bare hands
So that you can never talk to me like that
Or anyone else
Ever again..

Learn To Live Half Alive
Every time someone you trusted
Leaves you
They chip away a part of your heart
It's painful but you try and forget
Learn from your mistakes
And when someone that you loved
And thought you would spend the rest of your life with,
Rips your heart apart
Shedding it to pieces
You have to learn to live half alive,
Some how pick up the pieces
Hopefully one day mend it back together
And maybe learn to love again

Hopefully one day mend it back together

Perfect Storm
My favorite part
Of a Florida summer
Is the constant rainfall
I have my bed right underneath my window
A perfect view
Of every raindrop.
When night falls,
I curl up with
My blanket, my music, notebook, and a pen
Complete darkness.
The only light
Is the flash of lightning across my page
Striking the countryside
And the melody to my music
Is the rumbling thunder.
This is my time
To think, dream, and wonder
Let my mind run
Until it's time to move my words
From my notebook to the world.

What If
What if prince Charming was deaf?
And Rapunzel was locked up in that tower
How would he find her
Hear her screams, when she realised she was alone
Hear the tweeting birds flying around keeping her company
And singing with her
He wouldn't know she had a beautiful voice
Say he found this tall tower
How would he know she was trapped
He wouldn't have over hear the stories of what happen to her in the local pub
He just amuses a beautiful girl lives in a strange tower
Say Rapunzel sees him and tries to ask for help
They don't understand...

Scars
Scars are caused by a deep cut or burn
Scars are a sign that something hurt
scars hold a dark memory
blood triceling down
The sound of a sizzle from a fresh burn
Soon enough the scars add up
A collection, if you will gathers
Of pain and suffering
sometimes you forget the hard part
The occurrence of the event
And you put yourself out there again
with hopes
Things will be different
Risk it
And you get hurt again, and again
forgetting your past
So many times you get cut and hurt
The people dear to you go away ...
