POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
What am I?
Does he miss me when I'm away?
Or am I in his moment's stare?
Do I have a part?
A role in his heart?
Or am I for the time being a being for just this time?...
A statue of "the other" with no other significance?
Or am I in his moment's stare?
Do I have a part?
A role in his heart?
Or am I for the time being a being for just this time?...
A statue of "the other" with no other significance?

Away
The soft curve of my hip begs for your caress
Lying on my side
Yet you stay away
My tummy moves slowly welcoming tenderness
Hoping for your love
But you stay away
My heart aches to connect in sweet despair
Wishing I was good enough
And you stay away
Fool.
Lying on my side
Yet you stay away
My tummy moves slowly welcoming tenderness
Hoping for your love
But you stay away
My heart aches to connect in sweet despair
Wishing I was good enough
And you stay away
Fool.

Miles away you stay
Miles away you move
To the slow and steady pulse
Of you and yours
With the steel threads of love
And memories past
Cinching together tightly
Any gap that might be opened
To another heartbeat
That could fall in to time
And carry in it's rhythm
Hope and completion.
To the slow and steady pulse
Of you and yours
With the steel threads of love
And memories past
Cinching together tightly
Any gap that might be opened

That could fall in to time
And carry in it's rhythm

Stupid little blurb trying to not care
Certainly
I don't need to hear
From you.
I'm not thinking
About your
Smile.
I don't care
What
You are doing.
I'm not
Yearning
To hold you.
Repeat:
I don't care
Confirm:
I don't care..
I don't
I don't need to hear
From you.
I'm not thinking
About your
Smile.
I don't care
What
You are doing.
I'm not
Yearning
To hold you.
Repeat:
I don't care
Confirm:
I don't care..
I don't

Song of a cheater
Welcome to the world of cheats and lies
You have company here.
At each turn you'll see deep in our eyes
The openness of our atmosphere.
We love on a moment drunk in life's wine
We seek what we long for; the sip sublime
We take what is given with no lasting regrets.
And give what is taken, no time for debt.
When we see you we know it
Quit trying to hide
Denial is so wasteful
Drink up, have pride.
Reject the norms and inhale the full table
Of treats unencumbered by the chains of your label.

Reject the norms and inhale the full table
Of treats unencumbered by the chains of your label.

Drunk with wine
Drunk with wine
I spoke the words
Words of my attachment
I let them slip
I gave a sign
Sign I could be falling
You ask me now
If I recall
Recall the wordy stupor
I lie and say
Was just the wine
Wine that made me whisper
But deep within
A jaded heart
Heart in hope yet frozen
I'm scared to death
To fall for you
Your breath would not invite me.

Tell me this
Lay them down
Lay down your fears
Unlock your apprehension
Open up
Be understood
Awash with my attention
I see you
Grown girl longing
For truly real connection
I love you
And give this gift:
That you are my obsession.

If love existed
If love existed I would love you.
I would hold your head in my hands
And bleed tears when you cry.
I'd wrap myself around you to digest your fears in my belly.
If trust existed I'd strip my body naked,
Stand before you with my uneven breasts
Allowing my shoulders to slump and my face to fall worried.
You'd look at me with that tender smile
And tell me that it's ok to feel.

Dead speaks to me
Soft wind kisses my face like a rayon ghost
While I watch the hot sun rising
Just like you always did.
I feel you here whispering
"Baby don't let life be anything less
Than everything it needs to be.
The moment I died I was in the pocket of paradise.
I knew tomorrow would come yet I'd lived like it wouldn't.
I'd doubled up on dreams and dares
To show the world I could do whatever.
I know I moved away from you baby
And I realize you missed me.
But you need to remember that you left me too.
Looking back, honey, do you...
While I watch the hot sun rising
Just like you always did.
I feel you here whispering
"Baby don't let life be anything less
Than everything it needs to be.
The moment I died I was in the pocket of paradise.
I knew tomorrow would come yet I'd lived like it wouldn't.
I'd doubled up on dreams and dares
To show the world I could do whatever.
I know I moved away from you baby
And I realize you missed me.
But you need to remember that you left me too.
Looking back, honey, do you...

To whom?
This poem is about wanting out and wanting in...
It's nothing I considered
Before the other day
Wandering in the nighttime
Looking for my way.
I see you sitting over there,
Away from me your gaze,
Forgetting what I wanted,
Plodding through your days.
Yes, I said forever,
I said I'd never leave.
The Promise of a lifetime
I wanted to believe.
But in the chasm it crept in,
Taking me along,
An impulse to be unowned,
The world would say its...

Overgrown ass hair
And grief turns to anger... A little stab at a guy that pissed me off. Not nice:
I sit up naked in the bed and stare
At Your flabby-ass side belly
And overgrown ass hair.
Once again too quickly you've cum
And I sit here wondering
How a smart girl could be so fucking dumb.
I think about your attributes but can't name a few,
You are short and selfish and fat
With an addiction to chew.
And if I'm being honest now I should let you know
That your self-treasured dick
Gave me nothing to blow.
I know already...
I sit up naked in the bed and stare
At Your flabby-ass side belly
And overgrown ass hair.
Once again too quickly you've cum

How a smart girl could be so fucking dumb.

You are short and selfish and fat
With an addiction to chew.
And if I'm being honest now I should let you know
That your self-treasured dick
Gave me nothing to blow.
