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.
Black Rose
Voiceless words caress my ear
My spirit cries out a wolf’s howl
Every doubt seems to disappear
I’ve become the huntress on the prowl.
You can’t take your eyes off me
One look from me, and I can see you shiver
Surely this moment must have been destiny.
I hold my breath as you whisper…
Black rose… my beautiful black rose
Will you still be here when I wake up?
To be with you, I’d willingly drink from death’s cup
Oh, sweet black rose.
The midnight sun bears witness to our love
We’re are each other’s twin flame ...
My spirit cries out a wolf’s howl
Every doubt seems to disappear
I’ve become the huntress on the prowl.
You can’t take your eyes off me
One look from me, and I can see you shiver
Surely this moment must have been destiny.
I hold my breath as you whisper…
Black rose… my beautiful black rose
Will you still be here when I wake up?
To be with you, I’d willingly drink from death’s cup
Oh, sweet black rose.
The midnight sun bears witness to our love
We’re are each other’s twin flame ...

Dream World
Verse 1
I woke up in a dream where laughter was the only sound
People smiling and embracing was what I’ve found
Shooting stars raced across the sky; yet my feet were glued to the ground
The unusualness of this scene could astound…
…anyone, including me; I didn’t expect to find a miracle
A man smiled at me; I found it comforting instead of sensual
Society addresses abuse blindly; it’s just acceptable
Some even sacrifice their own children for their twisted rituals.
Chorus
I must be in a dream world; none of this is real ...

Ashes
Verse 1
I’ve always known that I was different; a fact that left my mother proud
My entire life I’ve struggled to fit in; I could never click with any crowd
I was a victim of my father’s sin; yet I’ve become a better person now
I’ve learned not to show what I have within; I’ve learned to question the why and the how.
Sacrifices have cost me blood, sweat and tears; I’ve managed to find the light
So much suffering has taken away my fears; I no long shy away from a fight
I’ve learned not to trust everything that I hear; sometimes I can’t even trust...

Carry Me Home
Verse 1
Did you really think that I'd stand by while the world screws me over?
I don't rely on you just for laughs; I need you as my shoulder
The fight is hard, it's got me down; I lost my lucky clover
I need someone to pick me up and carry me home.
Carry me home, I need someone to carry me home.
Carry me home, I need someone to carry me home.
Chorus
Pick me up when I can't walk
Be my eyes when I can't see
Form my words when I can't talk
Be the person that I can't be.
Expand your mind and think for me
Change...

To Explore Or Not To Explore
To explore or not to explore: that is the question.
Whether 'tis easier for the mind to remain ignorant
And accept the cold embraces of outrageous beliefs,
Or is it wiser to take arms against a sea of blockades,
And by opposing, destroy them? To understand, to forget
No more, and by a discovery to say we cured
The blindness and the thousand natural shocks
That comes with acknowledgement of the truth. 'Tis an outcome
Desired to be wished. To learn, to dismiss-
To dismiss, the worst of sins: ay, there's the rub,
For in that dismissal of the...

Field of Stars
Time passes by in a blur
Memories fade away to dust
I tend to apply what I’ve learned
On how to heal this ever-deepening wound.
When my eyes grow tired of this boring scenery
I lift my head up to gaze at the heavens
Society holds contempt for those who look up, like me
Yet only pure starlight makes my soul feel strengthened.
I long to become one with nature
This persona that I use isn’t a good example of “be who you are”
As you currently read my last letter
I’ll be exploring the field of stars.

Locked In
Do you remember who you were before you were told who to be?
I can’t remember the last time I was allowed to dream
Broken hearts and broken promises; I’ve lost track of each
This mocha leaves me feeling bitter when it should have been sweet.
When can I pick up the pieces of my fractured psyche?
You’ve got me fumbling in the dark like a rat in a maze
You’ve locked me in my own mind, and threw away the key
Yet everyone else brushes it off by saying “she’s going through a phase.”
Instead of being taught logic, I was told what to...

Stitch Me Up
Verse 1
Consequences are of no importance
If there’s no accountability
The concept of morals can be foreign
It’s often seen as a liability.
Weapons come in many forms
The damage they do is unimaginable
The victims are unprepared for the coming storm
Only a fool would believe the damage to be minimal.
Chorus
Who will stitch me up?
Who’s gonna save my life?
I’m on the ground bleeding
Please, I don’t want to die.
Verse 2
Emotions are easy to lock away
Pride is put on the front-line
Countless...

Dangerous Mind
I’ve never been able to fit in
What society deems as the norm
I’m quite comfortable in my own skin
My presence is electrifying like a lightning storm.
My sarcasm is confused with dark humor
It’s not my fault so few can keep up with my intelligence
I don’t give a damn about the latest rumor
People have simple taste; I value elegance.
They say I have a dangerous mind
But they don’t understand
That I’m one of a kind
An extraordinary woman.
People often think that I’m from another planet
With how stupid they are,...

The Most Dangerous Game
A pouch full of weapons is a shinobi’s only ally
Yet so many underestimate the power of words
Is what I’m speaking the truth? Is it a lie?
I’ll teach you everything I know from the Third.
A shinobi’s life is shrouded in mystery
Take care of those you keep close to your heart
A split second can turn the tide from death to victory
You have a fire waiting to be unleashed, and I’ll be the spark.

I’ll remove the blindfold that blocks your view
I’ll make sure history remembers your name
Trust your instinct; it’ll...

Shattered Glass
Verse 1
I can’t breathe this toxic air
You’re suffocating me, yet you don’t even care
What am I to you? Just an emotional punching bag
You wouldn’t show me mercy even if I hang up a white flag.
You hurt me, I curse you; it’s a vicious circle
Our messed-up relationship is entirely controversial
You say “I love you” even as you paint my body in bruises
You only tolerate me for a few “uses.”
Chorus
1,2,3,4; retain your calm and remain composed
Even I can predict this dreadful forecast
I’m incredibly vulnerable; one wrong...

Silent War- Chapter 2 "Proposition"
As she promised, the following weekend Liz took her fashionably clueless roommate to Rue St. Hubert, one of Montreal’s major commercial arteries filled with over four hundred quality boutiques and tailors.
In the second boutique that they’ve visited, Liz took a good look at the other clients trying on long dresses of various colors.
Instantly, she knew the style that would suit Rachel best and make her stand out.
Liz spoke with a consultant, who showed the two women an entire rack of slightly shorter dresses near the fitting rooms.
