POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I am. What else it there to say? My likes, dislikes, loves and wishes, mean nothing if I do not acknowledge that I simply am. That I breathe and experience. There is no greater explanation.

Cursed from the Start
I never asked, I never will,
But never forget, I'm angry still.
You took off, never a chance,
To let my angry, violent words dance.
Why was it too much to ask,
Why was it such a heavy task,
To simply tell me why
Before you let your silence utter good-bye?
Months of nothing left me cold,
And to the frigid wind, was your love sold.
Then you came to make a request,
Who do you take me for, as I drowned in your mess?
'Forgiveness for past transgressions'?
Oh, I forgot, military doesn't teach you humble lessons.
No 'forgive me,...
But never forget, I'm angry still.
You took off, never a chance,
To let my angry, violent words dance.
Why was it too much to ask,
Why was it such a heavy task,
To simply tell me why
Before you let your silence utter good-bye?
Months of nothing left me cold,
And to the frigid wind, was your love sold.
Then you came to make a request,
Who do you take me for, as I drowned in your mess?
'Forgiveness for past transgressions'?
Oh, I forgot, military doesn't teach you humble lessons.

Comes the Tears
Falls, falls, comes the tears,
The deadly stain of raging fears.
The morbid truth to a broken heart,
Lay dripping sore, the river start;
Come trembling from flooded eyes,
As if to drown the broken disguise.
The heart embrace these languid drops,
To insist this hollow throbbing stops,
And ease the feeling of utter despair,
For his words crushed all hopes of wanting care.
So curl up, she in her crystal tear river,
As she lay amongst her heart's shattered slivers.
A hopeful time from far away,
brought dripping sorrows, here to stay....
The deadly stain of raging fears.
The morbid truth to a broken heart,
Lay dripping sore, the river start;
Come trembling from flooded eyes,
As if to drown the broken disguise.
The heart embrace these languid drops,
To insist this hollow throbbing stops,
And ease the feeling of utter despair,
For his words crushed all hopes of wanting care.
So curl up, she in her crystal tear river,
As she lay amongst her heart's shattered slivers.
A hopeful time from far away,
brought dripping sorrows, here to stay....

I Am
I am lonely in a crowded room
I wonder if it is me or is that selfish for me to assume?
I hear their laughing, the easiness of their chatter
I see their wonderful smiles, the sparkle in their eyes, simpleness is all that matters.
I want to be free, to dance to trusting tune,
But I am lonely in a crowded room.
I pretend to be strong
I feel all this wrong.
I touch my walls, I fear their fall
Yet I worry with their presence, he will never hear my heart's lonely call
I cry, hidden beneath the moon
And still I am lonely in a crowded room
I...

So I Cried
I got dressed today,
but no one looked.
I spoke today,
but no one heard.
I fell today,
but no one cared.
So I cried today,
and everyone stared.
They hadn't seen over my walls,
or through the cloth of my thick cloak.
But when I cried they noticed.
I was gifted
I am invisible,
I am the strong, solid blank.
When I cried,
they saw me.
When I cried,
they heard me.
When I cried,
they came to comfort me.
Now I want to be invisible again.
but no one looked.

Forgotten Angel
Forgotten Angel,
Invisible, cries
Pick up the pieces
Cause a broken heart will never let you fly
She gathered them close
But shattered they stayed
The price for love -
Paid as her wings simply fell away
Sullied is she
Abandoned by light,
Curls up from the cold
As she disappears from sight
In despair, she's given up,
Up on love and up on hope
Solitude, he took away
Her faith, her trust, her every ability to cope
Shattered Angel
Stand up, be strong
For it was...
Invisible, cries
Pick up the pieces
Cause a broken heart will never let you fly
She gathered them close
But shattered they stayed
The price for love -
Paid as her wings simply fell away
Sullied is she
Abandoned by light,
Curls up from the cold
As she disappears from sight
In despair, she's given up,
Up on love and up on hope
Solitude, he took away
Her faith, her trust, her every ability to cope
Shattered Angel
Stand up, be strong

Sea found Wonder
There is power here, in the salty mists of the sea-brine air
There is majesty in the rolling of her crashing waves
There is compassion in her endless expanse as she tends to the horizon's care
There is wisdom in the salty spray that bathes the wind burned face
There is magic in the green sparking stars of burning sea-soaked wood,
A journey in the grains that he tells in the leaping flame.
There is a truth in the way the mighty ocean,
Swallows the engorged red sun in the days ending game.
There is an innocent favor in the velvet blankets of sun-tanned...
There is majesty in the rolling of her crashing waves
There is compassion in her endless expanse as she tends to the horizon's care
There is wisdom in the salty spray that bathes the wind burned face
There is magic in the green sparking stars of burning sea-soaked wood,
A journey in the grains that he tells in the leaping flame.
There is a truth in the way the mighty ocean,
Swallows the engorged red sun in the days ending game.
There is an innocent favor in the velvet blankets of sun-tanned...
