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.....

Glass Window
By Lara D.
The distance
Separated by a
Glass window
As I’m watching
People who
Are walking by
Blank stares
Emotionless faces
And I can’t help it
Wondering what’s
On their mind
As they passing by
Only if I could
For a moment
Live their lives
Follow their steps
In that odd time of life
As I’m sitting by
Maybe then I can
Understand those
Blank stares
Emotionless faces
That keeps me
Wondering why

No Goodbyes
By Lara D.
You’re just a cute face
But an empty shell
You’re my imagination
That doesn’t even exist
How foolish of me
To fall for your tricks
How should I’ve known
That you were just a game
You left me and ran away
As I fell on my knees
And crawled through
The painful memories
But I found a way
The courage within
To stand up on
My two feet again
Inspired by my own
Sadness and misery
Fear shade the light
Shining through
My soul and
Healed those
Painful dreams and
Wounds from...

Wonderland
By Lara D.
Waiting and wondering
For what?
Time measuring?
But you are wasting
Every Moment
That you can be
Setting yourself free
Just let it be
Don’t be wondering
Cause when the
Time is right
You’ll see the sign
That you’ve been
Waiting and waiting
If you lose yourself
Always wondering
And waiting for
All the time that
You’ve been wasting
You’ll lose yourself so
Why waiting and wondering?

Porcelain Doll
By Lara D.
You always love me
You always there for me
When I need you
In that desperate moment
When I call for you
I feel your cold gaze
My lit Porcelain Doll
I talk to you in
My thoughts as you
Sit so calm and aloof
On that empty chair
In the corner of the room
How I love thee
My lit Pretty Doll
But even with you there
I will always feel empty
And one day you will
Leave me and with
Old age and fade
Away in my memory
My lit Hollow Doll

Little Notes
By Lara D.
I leave myself
Lit posted notes
So I remember
Not to forget
My lit silly ways
To remind me
Things that are
Not of importance
The lit posted
Are filled with
Silly notes and
All with due dates
Chores that make
The To Do list
Things that I call
Not so important
Little reminders are
Posted everywhere
Notes to myself
Those silly notes
Not to forget
Of the things
That I no longer
Want to remember

Crossroad Bells
By Lara D.
Woke up again
With the sound of
Crossroad bells
Buzzing in my head
Looking at the sign
The crossroad is here
The train tracks
Sounds like a musical
Melody in my ears
Trembling inside
As the train getting
So close and near
With every step
Thus far and near
The railroad bells
Singing in my ears
Where should I start
And go from here?

Life
By Lara D.
The world looks so small
From up here and
My time is cut too short
And I have to move on
So no farewell
Sorry to all my dears
I’ve been a guest here
Filled with joy and
Happy memories
The time that I spent here
So no more tears
Just be happy my dears
Funny I can’t remember
Why I’ve been here
And all I remember
Is that I know
I’ve lived here
In the past my dears
Just remember
When the train comes
Let go of all you’ve known
Cause as you move on
It won’t really matter...
The world looks so small
From up here and
My time is cut too short
And I have to move on
So no farewell
Sorry to all my dears

Filled with joy and

So no more tears
Just be happy my dears
Funny I can’t remember

Freewill
By Lara D.
If I can find a way
To wash away
Those unspoken
Words that were
Implied and never said
If I can only believe
To trust the good in
People and forget
All that happened
Only just yesterday
If I can close my eyes
And forget
The ugly truth
That I see everyday
And walk away
If I can only pretend
That I exist
In the world
That kindness has
A price to pay
And If I can trust
That in time
The truth will
Be revealed and ...

Burnt Mark
By Lara D.
Running around with
My lit brother
Playing with fire
Left a scar
On my left leg
Faded in time
Boiling hot water
On stove oven left
Lit faded burnt lines
These brown spots
On my right hand
Disappeared over time
Walking in my
High heel shoes
Left scars from
The blisters
On my ankles
And healed every time
But the bruises you
Left on my heart
Are hidden deep
Inside of my body
And soul are awaken
Time after time
...

Pretend
By Lara D.
You think you
Are strong but
You’re too weak
You pretend and
You fool yourself
With empty dreams
What’s it going to be?
These foolish dreams
Your ego, your pride
You “Wannabe”?
You say you’ve
Made mistakes
You’ve learned
Your lessons and
Wanna move along
But you keep
Going back to
The same crappy place
What’s it going to be?
If it’s all the same
But I’m walking away
So I won’t make
The same mistake
Before its too late
With the slap on my...

Naked Soul
By Lara D.
You keep things
So close to your
Heart and soul
But everything in time
Shall be unfold
My naked soul
Shattered into pieces
Some things are not
Meant to be broken
And can never be scold
My reflection in the
Mirror tells a story
Of many things
That are kept secret
And to be untold
My naked soul
Is left with nothing
But lost in this land
As the end is so far and near
And nothing left to be told

Gone
By Lara D.
In my quiet moment
I panic inside and
The blood gushing
Through my heart
With every drop
Of dried up tears
On my cheeks
When the peace is gone
Eyes wide shut
I can’t sleep in this
Deadly silence and
Wondering dreams
My head is numb and
Even the light is off
But I can’t breath
When the air is gone
Traffic noise
Distance but near
Cars and people
Driving down the street
So near that I can hear
But loneliness is always
My companion and here
When the love is gone
...
