POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I've been writing for a while now and really enjoy it. I hope my writing is relatable and understood. Small significant wounds relentlessly is how these demons die.
Rebuild
Abandonment circles overhead
Anger and betrayal whirl above
Loss swirling with the other fears hanging above me
Aware there is more terror but terror seemed to be the shadows of bigger more savage fears that daily threaten to overcome me
Fears influence my behaviors leaving shame in its wake
Shame that I let fear control and rule my day
Helpless as my mind is preyed on by a flock of savage vultures
A threat pestering my mind
Pushing me into brittle depression
Resignation too bleak an end yet still a temptation I nearly...

Trapped
Love defined through personal connection
Unique like fingerprints
Powerful and wild as if it two wolves building together
Distancing others opinions and disregarding warnings
Only strengthening our connection even if its dangerously creeping towards dark chaos
Red flags are a challenge for us to overcome
Dancing with the demons in each of us
Allowing enemies to stay on the edges of friendships
Safety and safe people an unknown and ambiguous territory
Pain allowing both relief and familiarity
Eerie feelings poking the mind...

Lava
A rollercoaster romance
A magic aura about its wild nature
Common ground where those who feel trapped inside emotional suffering finds relief in love, or at least she believes
Aggression waits and paces below the surface
Waits like volcanos do
Waits for an eruption of lava
Lava full of emotional pain, sick thinking, and twisted behavior
Finding power in disrespecting others and
Becoming aggressive until submission becomes reality
Knowing her heart could love and forgive easily because she values such things

Bullet-proof Angel Wings
Different beds taunt me
I should be there
In your arms
Breathing you in
Memorizing your face
Tracing your body
Falling into a contented sleep
A sleep where the monsters have
Stitched up mouths and silenced voice boxes
A sleep where the demons do not continue with their infernal whispering
Your arms are protection
Its as if they are wings
Sheilding me from the storms
Soothing my mind
Comforting my soul
Loving my black clouds ...
I should be there
In your arms
Breathing you in
Memorizing your face
Tracing your body
Falling into a contented sleep
A sleep where the monsters have
Stitched up mouths and silenced voice boxes
A sleep where the demons do not continue with their infernal whispering
Your arms are protection
Its as if they are wings
Sheilding me from the storms
Soothing my mind
Comforting my soul
Loving my black clouds ...
