POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
My scars are my beauty and my words are the gateway into my soul.
Vincent
You hurt me and rejected my love and I responded by viscously attacking your pride.
Did we both have an active part to play in the other persons pain? Yes.
Your apology was genuine.
I never gave you one.
Until now...
I regret that I was so nasty to you, V.
I’m truly sorry for being the little girl who threw a tempter tantrum when she didn’t get her way.
We both should have known better.
Thank you for forever holding your composure...

30 years on this planet.
I wanted to die at 27.
I’ve never been good with time.
3 years past my prime.
I’m still here.
Little girl, Lost. ...

3 am confessions.
The truth is -
I needed more.
Not of your weak ass appreciation!
I needed more
of your fucking soul!
You whispered -
“You don’t need...

Goodbye nuthin’
When it’s all said and done..
and the curtain has called it’s
final run.
Before the last blow of
the saxophone
belts out it’s gentle hum -
it ain’t worth a damn unless you
love me.

Will strip for toilet paper!
It’s 2020, folks!
The world may be coming to an end.
I may be stabbed in the grocery aisle...
fighting over damn wipes!
And I mourn the loss of the man I’ll ...
never have.
What can I say?
Priorities.

Two poets and a train.
If you
ever find love
in all those
empty,
bitter spaces
All those lonely
little places..
of just a memory..
Take the
A-train down a bumpy
winding street..
and sail through
the lovely
slums with me. ...

Resolution
An empty inbox.
Not one, lonely letter.
This time 'round -
heartbreak equates to:
"I'm truly sorry!"
Followed by a soft whimper
"I never meant to hurt you..."
Then one stoic "Goodbye..."
right after he lashes out
"As YOU wish!"
Chalk it ALL up to
'Losty' ambition
but a small hunch...

The girlfriend experience.
When a man confesses
on bended knee..
His head hung low
and voice defeated..
He hasn’t had sex
in “eight years.”
One loyal husband.
A good dog that always
sniffs his way home.
I demand he pack a bag.
We’ll spend the whole weekend
torn between the sheets
and a posh hotel bar.
He’ll hold my hand
and grin widely from ear-to ear.
Other men will be envious
as my heels click through
the marble lobby.

Trial and error.
You could have judged me.
But you didn’t.
Except in the beginning -
when you assumed I would never love you.
What a rolling blunder;
to smother us both in your ignorance.
Every tear shed down that mountain
as I fell deeper into the abyss.
A belly ache full of doubt
in my gut
knowing
you’d never
meet me
at the bottom.

Payback's a bitch called Karma.
The very next man who
breaks my heart
and states his goodbye
with an icey ass
matter-of-fact reply:
"As you wish."
will be gifted with a silver
bullet in his mouth
whilst he cries.
You still owe for
every single shard
you cost me.
"Motherfucker!"
BOOM!
SPLAT!
It's a wrap.
Don't protest, dear.
This is payback.

Put you to the test.
Are you going to grab a shovel and help me bury this motherfucker?
If not step aside bitch,
you ain't my friend.
