POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I struggled with formal styles of poetry but found a home in Free Verse. My poetry is mostly Ekphrastic poetry!
Offerings of Life
Fed by the offerings
Of life
Your love makes sure
I savor every morsel
Always served with
Abundant love
And your
Generous heart!
With all that I am
I love you❤️

My Alaskan
I stood watching the flight board until I saw it, Flight 1349 from Atlanta now at gate 12.
It seems like I’ve waited forever to see him. Now I’m scared... will he like what he sees, will the chemistry still be there, oh god I hope so!
All these months online chatting had finally brought us together. (Phew, deep breath, Melissa! Get your shit together, can’t have him picking you up off the Airport floor, can you!!).
I’m holding a little sign that says; WELCOME TO THE SOUTH MY FAVORITE ALASKAN.

Waves of Longing
I hear them
Waves crashing
on the rocky shoreline
Sounds much like
Emotions you left
Within me
Pounding unceasingly
Making no headway
Tearing at the shoreline
Of my raggedy heart
Will the tide turn
Will love bring me peace
Your love was that for me
A sleepy cove
Tides of love
Gently lapping
Return me to that place
Ease my suffering ...
I beg you

My Jen
Life has not always
Been kind
Days you thought would
Never end
Cried more tears than you
Thought possible
But
You held on to
Your pride
Knowing better days
Were ahead
Knowing God hadn’t
Forgotten you
Today
I see you with
Self confidence
And
Even though times are
Still trying
Your determination
Your heart
Your compassion and empathy
For others
Are still burning
Brightly
Your future...

A Dream
A fantasy
I woke up facing him, daring to believe it was true! He’s here asleep next to me!
My hand involuntarily moves to his handsome face ... fingers tracing his hairline around his perfectly shaped ears.
I lean close my lips mere inches from his kissably soft lips, Breathing in the scent of him, which triggers memories of the night before where his touch, his scent, his kisses drove me wild!
Before I could stop myself I savored his lips ... felt him waking, so I deepened my kiss. My hands left his hair to trace his jawline to his lips and...

Abandoned Love
The night calls to me
Sultry
Hot and lonely
My skin tingles
Longing for your touch
Despair fills me
You’re not here
You found another
Left all for her
I gave you my heart
Wanting only your love
I turn to face the night
Wrapping my arms around
My bruised heart
Holding tightly to my
Self confidence... whispering
I am beautiful
I am worthy of LOVE

Haunted Love
A love to last several lifetimes
Filled with the unknown
Sexuality beyond my wildest dreams
All mine …now …all gone
The warmth of his breath
Whispering I love you
My skin tingling
at the thought of his touch
The imagined hardness
As he buries his member in my wantonness
I weep for all the passion
Never shared
My heart cries the question
Why did I have to be the one
Left...

The STANG Part 10
Chapter 10
“Why do people say ‘grow some balls?’ Balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna be tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding.”
—Sheng Wang
My mind couldn’t comprehend what my eyes were seein’. I saw and experienced everything, but my mind was still in denial. I’ll be the first one to admit to y’all that there’s a lot in this world I have yet to see, but this… Jesus pleasus Christ. This was unworldly. A deep part of me had suspicions about what was toying with us, but neither Heather nor myself dared call it by name.

The STANG Part 9
Chapter 9
“The function of muscle is to pull and not to push, except in the case of the genitals and the tongue.”
—Leonardo da Vinci
I hit the brakes, hard. Me and Mist heard a fwump in the trunk.
“He’s still there, H! Sunday supper on momma’s fine china! What if he don’t disappear like Ben did? What if the cops are looking for us? It’s not like we’re driving something that blends in! ShitshitshitshitSHIT!”
I didn’t answer. Mist hadn’t completely given in to the Stang. She was still thinking that our lives would somehow go back to normal after this...

Broken
I
feel broken
in so many ways
In my heart, my soul,
my thoughts scattered to the wind
So much going on ... I just need to stop,
collect myself, become whole again.
Is there a place
in this world that we can really be who we want to be.
Where there’s time to stop, take a breath,
time to
look around, maybe change directions,
Go back … perhaps right a wrong.
Is there such a place? Please
tell me where it is.
I need to find it
…I need to be
there.

A Love Found Writing
We started as friends
Our love of words drew us in
Night after night we'd do this dance
Trading words of love and splendid romance
You touched my heart like no other before
Your crystal blue eyes I just couldn't ignore
My nights are now filled with soft touches, not just wishes
Whispered words of love and butterfly kisses
Our love of words drew us in
Night after night we'd do this dance
Trading words of love and splendid romance
You touched my heart like no other before
Your crystal blue eyes I just couldn't ignore
My nights are now filled with soft touches, not just wishes
Whispered words of love and butterfly kisses

Deceit
I’ve seen and heard of
Love that kills
Never in my mind
Thought it would touch my life
But it has
It came to me in the form of
A handsome face
A silly smile
With eyes, so brown as to make the color die of envy
My mind and heart
Had no chance
Smitten with a glance
The smile
A lie
The eyes
Deceitful
The handsome face
Ravaged with time
My heart just another toy
To play with and
Discard
Over and over I
Allowed myself to believe
The lies
...
