POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I am an emotional writer who writes about a range of subjects, sometimes delving on the perverse, suicidal, gory or just plain weird =]
S.W.
"Mirror, Mirror" she used to chant.
Eyes full of hate
Aimed at me
With a sideways glance.
Sent the Huntsman to take my heart
Didn't know he couldn't play the part.
Lips red as rubies
Hair black as night
Skin white as snow.
My beauty she desired,
For her youth - my blood she required.
The Hunstman fell to his knees
And begged for my forgiveness
I gave in to his pleas.
He found the heart of a pig instead
To offer her Majesty
And away into the woods
I fled.
Stumbling upon a cottage
I took refuge
And rested...

Delicious
Her cherry stained lips
Straining against the gag
Reminds me of hot summers.
Her clouded blue eyes
Dark like thunder
Was the only threat she posed;
Bound tight in nylon rope.
Twisted against her like a second skin.
She writhes in ecstasy
As the hot wax
Sears her bare skin,
Tracing her curves.
Teasing her silver
She pushes against me
Stirring a reaction.
I slide deep in her
Feeling her tighten.
Sweat beads her skin
And I lap up her saltiness,
Thrusting harder and deeper.
She struggles to moan
Against the...

How Long?
Dark night, Thick pine;
I tread deep into it's lonliness.
Inhaling the raw odour
That permeates throughout.
The moonlight bathed Earth
Invites me in,
Wanting to be explored.
I feel as one
The Earth pulsing
To my every heartbeat.
Glowing eyes pierce the darkness
Watching my every move.
I feel his prescence,
His power,
His gentleness.
He steps out
And the moonbeams gravitate to him
Making his silver black fur gleam.
I bow my head to him
And his eyes beckon me
To follow him.
I do.
He drives me further into...
I tread deep into it's lonliness.
Inhaling the raw odour
That permeates throughout.
The moonlight bathed Earth
Invites me in,
Wanting to be explored.
I feel as one

Glowing eyes pierce the darkness
Watching my every move.
I feel his prescence,
His power,
His gentleness.
He steps out
And the moonbeams gravitate to him
Making his silver black fur gleam.
I bow my head to him
And his eyes beckon me
To follow him.
I do.
He drives me further into...

The moon shone bright and pale against the dark landscape below.
A figure darting between the trees cathes the eye.
Searching.
Yearning.
Hear her cry-
Feel the urgency.
See how she moves,
Her paws clipping the ground
Barely touching the frost
As she darts and weaves.
Howling.
Whimpering.
Sense her anguish-
Feel her pain.
Through the underbrush, moss and leaves.
See her white muzzle sniff the ground
Looking for that long awaited smell.
Waiting for her mate
That will fill the hole in her heart
And make her smile once...

Never Be
I know why you feel so down
And why you're often blue-
It's because you and I both know
That dreams just don't come true.
There is no such thing
As "love conquers all"
If you believe all that
You'll crash and fall.
Love doesn't matter these days
Not to those up top.
All they care about
Is how they can stop us
From getting ahead in life.
I'll always be your lover
I'll forever be your friend
But sadly my sweet
I'll never be your wife.
Too many factors are unknown,
There's so much I don't trust.
I'd rather be...

Dance
In the darkest corner
Of the seediest pit
In the deepest underground,
He takes me against him;
His flamed hands
Searing my flesh.
In my life I have sinned
And tonight,
I will attone for them
To the sultry salsa beat.
Pinned against him
He makes me relive
Every horror,
Evvery regret,
Every mistake.
The pain intensifies
At every crescendo.
Every staccato
Pierces my heart.
The closeness is
Overwhelming
But I cannot look at him,
For I know that my death
Is etched in his eyes.
The music climaxes...

Normal
I have this cloud that follows me,
I have this cloud that no one wants to see.
It's all in your head
Nothing major can be done.
So suck it up
Get on out and have some fun.
But they can't see the demons in my head -
Scratching
Clawing
Biting.
The demons want me dead.
But the don't care,
They don't want to know
What is under my skin,
They just want me to smile
And pretend tht I fit in.
Another appointment,
Another prescription,
Another bottle of pills.
Saftey pin a smile on my face
So everyone else feels...

Flame
Tied to the cross;
Bindings tight and chafing.
Blood drips down my wrists
From the struggle.
But fighting is useless -
I'm not going anywhere.
They made sure of that.
Gap toothed heathens
Afraid of change
And anything different from them.
Their distorted views
Brought me to this place.
Outcries of
"Witch!"
"Witch!"
Sealed my fate.
Smell of hay, tar and rancid bodies
Violate my senses,
I shut my eyes against the scene
But my ears still hear my judgement.

Moon and Earth
Her heart beat like the tribal drum
Her olive skinned clan used.
"White demons are coming"
She overheard the Chief say.
The emerald clad earth seemed to scream in protest
At the thought of the invaders.
But, like the inquisitive racoon,
She was curious -
Wanting to know if the white demons
Were really as awfulAs everyone feared.
Top of the cliff she climbed,
Watching the wooden beasts stride in.
Deer scattered deep into the forest
As the demons poured out;
With thunderous power and chaos.
Unknown tools...

Goodbye
My heart bleeds
From where you left your mark
On my life.
You interrupted my childhood,
Loved me through adolescence
And nearly murdered me as an adult.
You promised that you would always love me.
You promised that you would keep me safe.
You promised you would never hurt me.
You lied.
It was Valentine’s Day.
You came home in a rage.
You said that if you couldn’t have me,
Then nobody could.
Brandishing a knife,
You ‘loved’ me.
You ‘loved’ me 27 times.
Or was that the number of times
That the knife plunged in?
I can’t...

Frozen Heart
Lovers lost
And friendships torn
Makes you wish
You hadn't been born.
Fairy tales shattered
And wishes stained with tears -
Accentuates your loss
And ignites all fears.
The peace right now is broken
And you think it will never be fixed.
All those misdemeanour's
And all those nasty tricks
Do nothing to calm the demon inside.
You feel you'll always be lost.
Always bare with no place to hide.
But I am here for you,
Like I always was.
We just needed the peace of time
To heal ourselves of loss.
I know what's in my heart...
And friendships torn
Makes you wish
You hadn't been born.

Always bare with no place to hide.
But I am here for you,

To heal ourselves of loss.

Questions
I silently pick up the pieces
Of my shattered heart.
Don’t come near me, leave me be.
Least you crush my love again.
You caused me pain.
And what to gain?
A life of your own,
Space to become grown.
You left me all alone.
You walked out of the door
And out my life.
Left me crying the floor
As you twisted the knife deeper into my heart.
You plunged your excuses,
Your reasons not to see me.
Could you not hear
How my heart broke with pain?
While you crushed my love
For your personal gain.
Did you die in your heart...
Of my shattered heart.
Don’t come near me, leave me be.
Least you crush my love again.
You caused me pain.
And what to gain?
A life of your own,
Space to become grown.
You left me all alone.
You walked out of the door

Your reasons not to see me.
Could you not hear
How my heart broke with pain?
While you crushed my love
For your personal gain.
Did you die in your heart...
