POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
This is me and my feelings flowed into limited words...
I figure you wouldn't have the time
I would tell you what is on my mind
but I figure you wouldn't have the time
to listen to this childish rhyme
and besides I couldn't write it
because the words would burst from the pages and lined spaces
and shoot into the stars and shine into unexpected places
then everyone would know of all my secrets and dreams
I'm dying to tell you and I'm bursting by the seams
when you ask I tell you instead
" Nothing is on my mind," and then whisper
"I figure you wouldn't have the time..."

I wrote your name...
I wrote your name in the sand
But the waves washed it away
I wrote your name in the sky by hand
But the wind blew it away
I wrote your name on foggy glass
But it steamed up and melted away
I wrote your name in my notebook in class
But the teacher took it away
I gave up and wrote it in my heart
And that’s where it’ll stay…

Enchanting Eyes
I sit with the enchanting eyes
Twinkling in the stuffy atmosphere
And the icy comets race that against indigo skies
I don’t think I want to be anywhere but here
I think as I watch the moon and stars play hide and seek
Something brought me here in the enchanted night
But I want to stay here because it is unique
I can’t think of it at the moment until it fades tonight
So I sit back and take another hit
And let the carefree night take over
I watch violet and rose colors swirl and join bit by bit
I love these enchanting eyes…

Your Time Here Is Done
You've come back
after you have beatened me blue and black
You leave me with a sad smile and starless sky
and you left without saying goodbye
so go away and let me be
can't you possibly see what you done to me?
my tears have dried
and my infinite love for you has died
I am just tired
and feeling uninspired
by your fake stories and lies
can't you see my interest in you dies
so pack your things and disappear
you time is done here...

Only If You Could See
You can't see what you've done to me
You left deep wounds and cuts, only if you could see
You left me crying and cursed
That didn't prepare me for the worst
That hurt started its embark
into the endless vast dark
It started to help me cut my evil pain
with a razor but only if it would wash away with the rain
I know didn't try to stop it
and you told me to quit it and drop it
but you don't understand at all
you never helped me in my fall
there's nothing to love but a lot to hate
nothing or nobody can save me from this fate ...

The Same
You shout you freak,
I’m the same as you,
But what’s not what you think
I’m a human too can’t you see
I’ve got problems and I act like you
We just same you and me
But how I dress and look
You ignore and segregate me
You know you not supposed to judge a book
By its cover
We just the same as an another
Now don’t me leave out
Can’t we just be friends?
But apparently that’s not what its all a about
Its about your looks, rank and size
And everything is judged
And I think that is very cruel and unwise ...

Its Up To What You Bring
A simple push that made her fall
Could’ve meant everything or nothing all
A simple, bitter and cold word
May have had her sad or just thought it was absurd
A slap or a stinging pinch
Might’ve felt like an annoying fly or a start for a flinch
A mean taunting
Might’ve have been silly words or a new haunting
A hurtful note passed to her in class
Might’ve been a joke or that day her last
It’s all up to them and you
About what you say or do
Just remember it may mean nothing
Or a suicide... its up to you what you bring
Could’ve meant everything or nothing all
A simple, bitter and cold word
May have had her sad or just thought it was absurd
A slap or a stinging pinch
Might’ve felt like an annoying fly or a start for a flinch

A hurtful note passed to her in class

It’s all up to them and you

Just remember it may mean nothing
Or a suicide... its up to you what you bring

My Blood
I watch it little drop by little drop
as steadily flows and won't stop
It is something strangely to adore
as I see it hit the tiled floor
it calmly flows from my hurtful pain
and washes away with the cold rain
I watch it flow and do not wince or cry
I don't feel the pain and I don't know why
I dont deny the hurt within
as my razor skates arcoss my skin
I let it drip from my veins
I can take hold of my own reins
Leave me alone with my beautiful etched line
and I'll be alone with my decline
You never cared anyways
and...

Describing Me
Immature and idle
Heavyhearted and hurt
Awful and abhorrent
Terrible and troubled
Empty and exhausted
Miserable and melachonic
Yearning and yielding
Sorry and sad
Eerie and evangelical
Lifeless amd lethal
Forgotten and futile
Heavyhearted and hurt

Terrible and troubled
Empty and exhausted

This time...
We fight more and more
just close enough to start a war
we're opening wounds that won't heal
yet again, there's so many secrets to reveal
so, here we go again, you start first
get mad, blame and curse
point fingers and try to sort out lies
pick up things and throw
the here comes the screaming, which won't slow
just let tears stream
end the scream
its happened before
I'll just act blank and stand by the door
when you're down slump against the wall
but this time I'll do something out of order
and I'll...

Duct Tape
I want to be
just like you
an improbable
beauty
a somebody
a important matter
I am ugly
unlike you
a nobody
nothing
so please
cut me up and arrange me
into something
pretty
and into a person
and tape together
the lines of the cuts
and make
me into you...

Be there
Be there to dry the tears
chase away all my dark fears
Be there stauch the flow
of blood streaming down my arms
make me happy and work your charms
Be there to help to pain subside
and be there when I die
Be there and hold my hand
when I tremble, help me stand
Be there and cast your spell
don't leave in the dark where I dwell
Be there to love me
stay with me and don't make me plea
you promised to be there
but I guess you don't care...
