POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Gaia born A day to go wild 🐾
Henry
I know you have been alone for a long time now
I wished only for your happiness
When I discovered you were lost and alone
Fighting your battles on your own
My soul discovered that you had come home
I had to show you that in my arms
When you are aching and breaking
You will always be safe
However you decided to meet me that day
I thank the cosmos above they guided you my way
I had never felt I deserved you
A boy whose eyes revealed the lifetime of a grown man
Wisdom brought to your life not by choice but,
learned...

1+1
My mind is spinning out of control
Walking through these trees
As the rain begins to fall
There is no shelter that I seek
My thoughts are like an umbrella for this storm does not bother me
It solidifies the strength in me as the rain beats hard upon these streets
I find myself slipping through the opening of a gate
inside this tiny nook is a garden of retreat
A bench was placed for 1+1 by the inscription on it's frame
"My beloved Dorothy
Meet me were we parted last and
I will always be here with you.
Forever yours,
John" ...

Sweet Spot
Honey dipped loli lips
Ripe peach nectar glaze
Sucking on a candy cane
Sharpening the tip
Sweet spot found
In the Underground
Trolly full of cream
Cotton candy sticky dreams
Licking fingers clean
Yes my sweet spot has its needs
Thankful to have found it in the DUP

Relapse
The laughter is different
It's quiet and delayed
Forced outwardly as an afterthought
It's not an automatic reaction anymore
It's a forced reaction to fit in to hide the pain within
Watching you fall into the hollow again
Your soul has become unreachable
Your addictions are killing me
Shattering the strength of my ability to keep me grounded
I know you have fought to stay alive
you're burnt out
you feel dead inside
You're sleeping through your waking life
If you can't keep fighting for yourself
Fight for me
Because I...

Kings and Queens and Guillotine's
NEVER would I ask of you to bow before me
Nor would I carve you out a road you could not travel
I don't presume you could understand how long I have built the castle in which I have earned every stone
As I could never comprehend the life you have and still live amidst your battles and the realm you have created by strength and courage
When we fantasize about being Kings and Queens
Who is anyone to hover hatred over those dreams
It motivates my life when it come from those who criticized the meaning of my intent
Living in a world few have achieved and many...

Red Sky Morning
In the final breath of night
my shadow cascaded along the moonlit shore
standing barefoot in the sand I ask the current to steer the start of something new
I gaze at the stars and wish upon them to keep me in your mind
to remember me kind
to make me a lover you could bind
that I wasn't just a fluke for you to find
I left you deserted and
asserted myself to the life I am bound
I should have left you sheltered from my fire
standing on your shore without knowing who I am
I begged a question to the horizon in front of me
GIVE ME A...

TAKER
An emotional destruction so invisible, but strong enough to imprint itself into the vulnerability of the weakened soul.
Like a frozen tree stripped bare of her leaves, leaving its perfected image displayed in the weathered dirt.
That human condition of yours, you proudly infect, destroyed that image with thoughtless destruction, because you've already let your prey fall into the dead fall of the leaves and the spark of a spirit once living in a glimmer called life.
It's of no concern to you though. Why would it be?
What you see as prey has always been fed by your Takers...

An Essay of Disarray
He lays beside my thoughts and gives me comfort and a false sense of compassion
He says ,"At the very least I'll be your friend, without exception, without condition".
He plays with my grief to give himself relief of what he's done. With all the loving and kindness a woman needs to hear. His words are calculated, manipulative while he seeks out the fragile, naive and those who are eager to please.
He speaks of his greatness and willingness to help,but for a price. Your dignity.

Sorry
Elton John sings "What do I say when it's all over?
and Sorry seems to be the hardest word
It's sad, so sad (so sad)
It's a sad, sad situation"
It's 1 word, 5 letters
If you take a moment and own your piece
It shows that it wasn't all for nothing

Gold Digger
While you look at me, do you salivate over the curves of my lips or the price you've placed to grind yourself on my hips
When you see the commas in my account, does it excite you to see the new possibilities of Your future
How do you claim yourself without substance, when you have taken to dismiss the intimate value of my kindness
Why do reach for something you have never tried to obtain, but place claim to the value of my character
as priceless
Money is a privilege ,but useless you can live without it or proudly admit the truth of how you gained it or busted...

My Soul To Keep
Infinity blades circles the illustrious realms we live while slaying those who never sought to see the face of death
Poetically mumbled as the whisper of vicious lords seek to claim the night before the dawn awakes
Hunting for any illuminating light in the souls they see within the shadows
Humans closing eyes as to shield themselves from reflections from the sky in flames glimmering in their convictions
The strength of their endurance for another holy war
Deepens the roots of the forest as the branches take their slaying
Humans and beast melting as chameleons...
