POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
a lost but dedicated child
The week the world crumbled
The air was fresh as it could be
The sky bluer than the sea
Back and forth the people bustled
And through scarce trees the soft wind rustled
Then through the peaceful air did ring
A tragedy a day should never bring
Smoke billowed through the air
As flames devoured without care
That first day as the second crash we heard
Knew it was no accident, no stray bird
We held each other close to pray
That those we loved would see another day
Minutes dragged into hours we waited as we must
Til what once so proud crumbled into dust...
The sky bluer than the sea
Back and forth the people bustled
And through scarce trees the soft wind rustled
Then through the peaceful air did ring
A tragedy a day should never bring
Smoke billowed through the air
As flames devoured without care
That first day as the second crash we heard
Knew it was no accident, no stray bird
We held each other close to pray
That those we loved would see another day
Minutes dragged into hours we waited as we must
Til what once so proud crumbled into dust...

Rise
Masks of smiles
False kind words and empty promises
Back behind crossed fingers
Like snakes
Like archers waiting in the trees
Launching coward shot arrows
That pierce the heart and leave no blood
Yet greater wounds that do not bleed
The energy that pulsates through
Each word
Each shot
Each poison laugh touching me, and spears my heat anew
But to hide behind a mask
No, I wear it like a badge
This pain never understand unless you've felt
The searing arrows and bloodless wounds
...

Dark Night Fantasy: part one Ecstasy
I wait through daylight to see you once more
Closing my eyes in the dark I reopen the door
The door to the world where we again meet
Let’s start the party cause we turn up the heat!
You are my starlight
That keeps me alive
You are my moonlight
Shine bright in my eyes
Through the darkness I wander knowing you wait at the end
When we are together no one can our will bend
To sing and to dance, to fight and to fly
Sadly us two live only a lie
You are my shadows
That wrap me up tight
Feeling safe in your arms
In this one...

As tears fall
little child lying on the ground
parents sadly crying
one last tear and final word
do not worry she is with the angels now
as tears fall upon her face
now cold unfeeling flesh
her last word and breath were only love
but more wrenching to their hearts
poor dead child
should have seen me coming
parents sadly crying
one last tear and final word
do not worry she is with the angels now
as tears fall upon her face
now cold unfeeling flesh
her last word and breath were only love
but more wrenching to their hearts
poor dead child

what i really feel
well i hope you're happy
you might as well be
after all the things you did to me
stole my life
left me in ruins
i looked sad
i was
but now im mad
you thought i'd cry
and true i did
but now this is what i really feel:
i want to leave you beaten in a ditch
you're a lying, cheating, stealing bitch
you ruined my life
so heres my knife
oh the things i'd love to do
take a blade run you through
every time you made me cry
so just please curl up and die
oh who am i kidding
you're not even worth it...

Who I Am
Rich little white girl
That's what they say
My daddy is CEO
They think that makes my life great
That because I get
Everything I want
I'm happy
They are wrong
Between the insults and poison whispered rumors
my life is a swirling black burned hell
They all say I'm stuck up
but I am not
I am just a girl
A girl with dreams
and money
But I would throw it all away
If only they
Would stop
And find out who I am
Behind my fear created
Mask of morbid anger
...

What They Do
All they do is piss me off
Those bastards
All of them the children
The students
Those poison color cloaked snakes hidden
They hate me
They think I don't know
What they whisper
What they say
Behind my back
They must think I'm stupid
That I don't know
But I do
I can tell
I see past their overly friendly faces
That false kindness that hides
Fangs dripping poison like words
They shoot words like bullets
Masking myself in disinterest
Like a vest of Kevlar ...
