POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm far from being the best poet, but every poem of mine was written from my heart. They're all precious to me, and I hope that you'll enjoy reading them.
I Fell
Sleepless nights with the clock ticking by
I’ve been grounded for so long with no access to the sky
It seemed rather destined that I had met you
Seeds planted long ago had finally emerged to bloom.
I fell. I fell so hard
Nothing could have stopped this
You’ve managed to lower my guard
My heart yearns for your touch and your kiss.
You’ve reignited my slumbering passion
In marvelous ways that I could never have imagined
You have a way of speaking directly to my soul
Your love had seeped through to fill in the black hole.

Snowfall
The sunlight peeks through the clouds
A subtle gleam in the pristine white
You add a dash of colour with your locks of chocolate brown
Your smile is enough to set my soul alight.
The first snow is beginning to fall
They leave a wet caress upon your honeyed skin
I’m left intoxicated more so than by alcohol
As I yearn for our journey to begin.
I’m looking forward to the snowfall
Your love has gotten me through it all
What once was dark has now turned bright
My frozen heart has melted with your light.
My darling love,...

Daughter of Worlds
Warmth, completion, a sense of belonging
I feel it on a primal level
This sensation that requires no words
Only my heart needs to understand
This feeling of coming home
I’m a daughter of worlds
With my body in one place
And my soul where it belongs.
I feel it on a primal level

Only my heart needs to understand

Nothing New to See Here
The days drag on, yet I still continue on my path
The volcano’s about to erupt with all this built-in wrath
I’m expected to push on without any complaint
I’m a struggling human being, not some perfect saint.
I do bother to stick to my convictions
Because I’m sick and tired of acting on presumptions
This planetary war between love and hate
Is making it harder for me to separate…
The reality of life from what I truly yearn
Dreams are dead was the hardest lesson to learn
Yet here I am, still struggling ever more
My body’s chained...

Bend
It’s second nature to pretend
I’ve been waiting since God knows when
For a miracle; a sign of absolute wonder
Yet I’m being held back to stop and ponder.
I’m wide awake; the dawn’s just breaking
All these intrusive thoughts are a dead-end
I numb this pain; it’s my soul that’s gaining
You can put me through hell, but my will won’t bend.
I’m an elastic band at this point
I’ve been stretched far beyond my capability
These once forgotten thoughts; they’re now impossible to avoid
As I’m lectured on the importance of responsibility....

Common Sense
I’m not the type of person to wear my heart on my sleeve
You can pay a soldier to fight, but you can’t pay them to believe
What’s right or wrong? War’s about who’s left and not who’s right
Just another cold hard truth with a particularly nasty bite.
Facts don’t care about your feelings
The quicker you accept it the easier will be the healing
It seems like I’m stating the obvious
Yet I’ll keep hammering it in until I’m victorious.
Seems like common sense has flown out the window
The path taken up until now has left me in limbo ...

Stay With Me
It’s 3am, and I’m wide awake
I just can’t seem to catch a break
The past was then; the present’s now
What can I do to feel safe and sound?
Everyone says it’s all in my mind
Is that why I’ve been walking blind?
My shoulders are hunched over with this pressing weight
I’ve left home long ago; would life have been better had I just stayed?
Stay with me; don’t ever let me go
I’m helpless in the water; will I sink or will I float?
Life’s coloured in multiple shades; it’s not just black and white

He's the Sun
He’s the sun
Our source of warmth and light
Can’t you sense how important his presence is?
It’s worth giving up my life.
Just as he died for us
To take in all our earthly sins
If only we could see the big picture
And focus on bettering what’s within.
I’ve loved and lost
I’ve cursed and cried
One moment I’ve hit rock bottom
The next I’m flying on cloud nine.
He’s within each of us
For we’re all his sacred temple
Can’t you feel that blooming warmth?

Show Me Love
Our hearts were meant to burn together
Who said that true love can’t last forever?
You were meant for me, and I was meant for you
The universe is now complete because one plus one equals two.
What is love? That’s an encompassing question
No one knows the answer, yet it’s still a vital decision
To make in our lives to try to make it bright
Here’s to hoping that it won’t extinguish our light.
Yet it’s a risk we have to take based on faith
I’m tired of droning through life in a faded haze
My soul yearns for a meaningful...

Love warms the air
The stars shine bright
I have never experienced such joy in my lifetime
Yet my soul remembers
It reflects the cosmic luminosity
Of a culture and family long ago passed
I yearn for that sense of community again
I do not belong to this world
My heart remains in the forgotten memories
A new year has come, another life to experience
Yet my heart and soul will forever yearn for what no longer exists.

I See You in My Dreams
Who are you, oh one most high?
With the flap of strong wings, you reach the sky
I am merely a humble woman
Not yet broken, but my light is just a flicker…
Of the fire that used to rage within
Most days I don’t feel comfortable within my own skin
How am I worthy of your praise?
Yet I still follow your illuminated way.
I see you in my dreams
A mighty dragon with a heart of fire
How did this miracle come to be?
I was at rock bottom, but I was raised much higher.
I humbly accept your guidance
This...

Liquid Sunshine
I hear whispers in the dark
Preaching about an infinite wonder
Apparently, we all have this mark
Branded inside of us, and it’s led me to discover…
This completion and rush of thrill
A noiseless heartbeat is my life line
The world around me seemingly stands still
As I bathe in a pool of liquid sunshine.
Ooh, I can feel it
This warmth that oozes into my soul
It brought me out of this empty pit
And rewarded me with self-control.
Fill me up, and enter me
This golden honey called liquid sunshine
I surrender to...
