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.

What Comes After
The wind blows away all cohesive thought
I can’t even find it within myself to be distraught
This time since we’ve been apart have felt like centuries
I’m caught in a never-ending loop of all of our memories.
One day we were together; the next day we were torn apart
My soul’s merely an abyss when it once outshone the brightest star
I can’t swallow this point of our history
I beg you to please set my heart and soul free.
Flames turn to dust
This aching chasm overwhelms my heart that was once full of love
Nothing stays the same ...

Worth Dying For
I stand on the shoreline at dusk
The ocean waves are turbulent, and bite at my bare skin
As the horizon steadily changes to a soft orange pink
My body is in one place and my soul is in another
Slowly, I lift my foot and let it hover over the water
For even the faintest hope of reunion and reconciliation
Is worth dying for.

House of Cards
I may be tiny, but I cast a large shadow
I value authenticity, so don’t go acting shallow
If this is too much to take, then go on and take a break
Or you can walk out that door, but I don’t want you tomorrow.
You drive me insane when you play this game
Like a house of cards that’s doomed to fall
I hate the way that you’ve prolonged your stay
I’ve been running even before I learned to crawl.
This is the last straw; yet you say you can’t understand me
I’m not the one playing mind games; stop giving me the third degree
Is...

Canvas
My body is my canvas
The ink brings to life words I could never speak
And dreams that have once outshone the evening stars
Yet they live on in my thoughts, in my heart
And in the pictures that are forever stained onto my skin
A reflection of happiness frozen in time
A comforting reminder of what I’ve experienced
Yet also a series of lessons that have shaped me into who I am today
All I want to feel is the peaceful silence as I bring to life more masterpieces
Onto the living canvas that holds my vibrant soul.
The ink brings to life words I could never speak
And dreams that have once outshone the evening stars
Yet they live on in my thoughts, in my heart
And in the pictures that are forever stained onto my skin
A reflection of happiness frozen in time
A comforting reminder of what I’ve experienced
Yet also a series of lessons that have shaped me into who I am today
All I want to feel is the peaceful silence as I bring to life more masterpieces
Onto the living canvas that holds my vibrant soul.

Lady
I’ve been called many things in my life
Yet everyone can agree that I’m a woman of my word
I’m either seen as a bane or a potential prized wife
It honestly depends on what mood I’ve stirred.
Don’t set me on a throne below my class
I can be your dream come true or your worst nightmare
I’m worth more than diamonds; don’t treat me as if I’m crass
I can be your source of comfort or the cause of your despair.
I’m so sweet and innocent; you can’t get enough of me
You act hot and then cold; your heart is full of glee
Just by...

Dark Eyes
Effortless words and actions
Never cease to provoke a reaction
Both physically and emotionally
It’s brought to the brink my fragile sanity.
Yet here I am the same masochist
Giving into the same temptation rather than resist
The urge to continue this doomed chase
Will I ever fall back into grace?
I’m addicted to you like a drug
I can’t ever seem to have enough
I’ve been taken by those dark eyes
That pierce into my soul and consume my light.

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,...
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.

What once was dark has now turned bright
My frozen heart has melted with your light.

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
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.

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 ...
