POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I've been writing poems/lyrics the past 7 years or so. My poems are the expression of my soul, a way of channeling the energy and painting it into words. I've finally decided to share my work... I also do sketches. My picture is my self-portrait.....
Isn't it Funny....
By Lara D.
It’s funny honey
How life can be
So wonderful and
Yet so hazy and crazy
It’s silly honey
How you’ve done
Me so wrong and
Yet you’re too prideful to see
It’s wonderful honey
How you’ve moved on,
Playing the cruel game,
Yet I’m still holding on
It’s senseless honey
Just to know that it
All didn’t mean anything,
Yet I’m too blinded to see
But life is so funny honey
Cause no one can escape
From the cruel ending, and
That’s the life reality

The Night
By Lara D.
The Angels of
The night, so
Graceful and kind
Get me through, to the
Morning light
It’s been a long ride
Each step of the way
Turning and twisting
Back to the same
Stop light
Sleep walking through
The night and not
Knowing who I’ve
Been through the
Dark night
As the morning light
Shines through the windows
Of my life, I might be
Free once again
From this dark night

Love Streak
By Lara D.
My shattered soul
Eyes soaked in tears
The Painful images of
You and me, all
That’s captured in
The bubble of fear
Been trying to mend
My broken heart,
As those blurry images
Of you and her are
Etched in my thoughts
As I always had feared
The million stitches
Pierced through my heart
Each the memories of
Those happy moments
That I stayed with you,
And it all fell apart
The sound of the
Silence echoed in
My head, as I try to
Hold...
My shattered soul

The String
By Lara D.
Run down and weak
The screams, you can hear
So loud and clear
The aching souls and
The forgotten dreams
Old road, it’s so cold
The shavers, you can feel
In your fragile body
And weakened soul, but
You are too blinded to dream
Pressing against the wall
As you’re walking through
The narrow tunnels of emptiness
And disbelief, and there is
Nothing left to see
Hiding away and trembling
In the rough cold night
Happiness just awaits if
You can get through this
Road called the happy fake...

Emotional Void
By Lara D.
Living with the pain
Living with the shame
It’s always the same
This growing pain
I feel my heartbeat
Blood rushing through my veins
With slowness of time
It feels all the same
Words are circling
Going through my head
But none can express,
The feelings and the pain
Images of the moments,
That we spent and
We shared, it keeps
Flashing, in my head
What else there is
Left to say, as I’m
Walking through this
Endless, loop of pain

For Awhile......
By Lara D.
I’ve been inside of my head
Dancing through the night
Searching for the road to exile
Been wondering around, for awhile
Standing at the edge of all the
Commotion and fragile emotions
Waiting to find the sacred door
Been searching endlessly, for awhile
Like a trapped butterfly gasping
For some air in a glass jar
Been sitting and waiting to
Fly away, from here for awhile
Pressed against the window and
Admiring people passing by
Trapped in this empty surround
Been waiting to exhale, for awhile
...

Silent Motion
By Lara D.
Walking down this dusty road
As I drag my feet through
The pebbles on the road
Staring at my own reflection
In the water of the potholes
This has been such a long road
Racing against the time
Since the moment I was born
Pulling though my fragile
Body and broken soul
Through this dusty road
As I travel all alone
The wind chimes through
Dried up leaves and trees
The harsh musical melody
That’s so familiar and deadly
Reminder of all forgotten
Nightmares and ugly dreams
Like a black and...

"Lie to Me"
By Lara D.
I let you lie to me and
You think it’s all the same
But I keep pretending
That I don’t know
I watch you as you walk
Through that swing door
But I keep pretending
That I don’t care
I let fear paralyze my soul
Becoming too much to bear
But I keep pretending
That I’m so brave
The harsh reality of this truth
Making me so sad and blue
But I keep pretending
With a smile on my face
And I knew it all along that
It’s been all a big mistake
But I keep pretending
That one day I will walk...

Overachiever
By Lara D.
The Overachiever
Inspired dreamer
Even called the
Twisted Dreamer
I've filled up my life
With promises of
Tomorrow, just
The empty dreamer
These empty promises
Of wonderful things
That tomorrow
Could and might
Even bring only
The material things
I’m the inspired
Top overachiever
Lost in the
Material world
Of technical things
Called PDA and
Smart lit things
I've filled my life
With stupid lit
Silly breakable things
Life is not always...

Just a Crush......
By Lara D.
Unspoken feelings
Unspoken words
Only just a gesture
And wondering gaze
Those mysterious eyes
And mischievous smile
As you pass me by
Silent yearning
Wondering mind
Those wondrous
Eyes and smile
The happy laughter
Alluring me in
As you pass me by
Anxious emotions
Silent smile from
Those mischievous
Whimsical eyes and
Wondering mind
Like a musical play
As you pass me by
Mysterious game
Of this emotional
Duel and repel
Those lit gestures ...

Fly Away
By Lara D.
I’m ready to fly
Away from here
To open my wings
It’s so wonderful
To be free once again
The air is flowing
All around me
The sun rays so
Bright and wonderful
As I’m floating in the air
I’m feeling free
Spreading my wings
The world beneath me
The clear blue sky
Right above me
I’m free Once again
Flying in the air
Just like a gypsy
Who doesn’t belong
In this place once again

Waiting Game......
By Lara D.
Another hour
One more day
The clock is ticking
And all I’m waiting for
Is a few more seconds
If I can even bear
The waiting game….
Not ready to give up
As I’m holding on
But how much more
Can I even tolerate
And just wait
Living in the moment
But even each second
Feel like days
If I can tolerate
To the next few
As I just wait
Keep holding on to
This endless loop
Just hanging on
As I feel so helpless
And I know I’m
The biggest fool
