POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
This is where I come to dream my foolish little dreams of stars and half believed wishes that never come true.
Did You Think Me So
I never was a real thing
Did you think me so
I am just a ghost pretending
I wonder why I do not fade
Into the nothing that I am
For I never was a real thing
Just emptiness in and out
No reflection in the mirror
No thoughts in my head
No heart to hate or love
Just emptiness
A ghost pretending to be real
Did you think me so?
Did you think me so
I am just a ghost pretending
I wonder why I do not fade
Into the nothing that I am
For I never was a real thing
Just emptiness in and out
No reflection in the mirror
No thoughts in my head
No heart to hate or love
Just emptiness
A ghost pretending to be real
Did you think me so?

Just Words On a Page
They are not real
You know
And neither am I
We are just
Words on a page
Pretty words
That I weave
Into fairytales
And make believe
Words that I hear
Words that I see
Words from a old
Blues song
I'm not your blue
Sky anymore
Words I have read
I never was a real thing
Did you think me so?
I am a fake, a fraud
Nothing about me
Is real
Nothing I write
Is true
Well just a little truth
A small glimpse
Into the nothing
That I am
I made myself up
One day I 'm...

And neither am I

That House
Moving is wonderful and awful
Wonderful because it is a new beginning
Awful because you have
Years of stuff and it is overwhelming
And you get to the point when
You just want to leave it all behind
Wonderful because you are
Happy for the first time
In a long time
Awful because you are
Leaving your memories
You raised 3 children
In that house
You kicked out your
Cheating ass husband
In that house
Thanksgiving, taking pictures
Out in the orchard, the strange
Tree with the hole in the middle ...

Hate and Lust
You exist in your own world
And I don't exist at all
Far reaching dreams
Are only wished for
A letter, a message, a glance
Of course, I can't have you
A lost cause without a reason
A foolish dream of something better
Back to the past
Beyond what's next
Behind what I've seen
You and I - separated
By hate and lust
And that in itself
Is unbearable
Fix me or let me wither
What is left is yours
A ghost haunting it's own memories
In search of a promise
And I don't exist at all
Far reaching dreams
Are only wished for
A letter, a message, a glance
Of course, I can't have you
A lost cause without a reason
A foolish dream of something better
Back to the past
Beyond what's next
Behind what I've seen
You and I - separated
By hate and lust
And that in itself
Is unbearable
Fix me or let me wither
What is left is yours
A ghost haunting it's own memories
In search of a promise

Stupidity Laughing
Standing under the black skies
Drenched in the rain of sorrow
Struggling to understand
This world of lies
Will I never find it's end
Fate has destroyed
Me once again
Life, a castle of dry stone
Silence slowly spreads
And whispers in thin air
Just one more tear
One lost, little tear
Leaving bitterness on my tongue
Stupidity laughing in pity
Falling in love
With the idea of nothing
Drenched in the rain of sorrow
Struggling to understand
This world of lies
Will I never find it's end
Fate has destroyed
Me once again
Life, a castle of dry stone
Silence slowly spreads
And whispers in thin air
Just one more tear
One lost, little tear
Leaving bitterness on my tongue
Stupidity laughing in pity
Falling in love
With the idea of nothing

Perfectly
Nothing sounds sweeter
Than the silences of your breath
Nestled in my ear
As I drew that breath
Scented with your essence
You captured my soul
Peacefully we lie
Content in each other's arms
Nothing else matters
Gazing into your kind eye's
You lead, I follow
We may not fit right
But you can fix that problem
As you slowly take
Me away, to another world
Trailing fingertips
As morning rain trickles
Rocking back and forth
Every nerve trembling
Kissing until we are breathless
Hold me forever
...

These Are Not Tears
I am a dream still dreaming
A moment, standing at the
Edge of this world
The clouds holding my breath
Making me wonder of all the
Secrets we never said
These are not tears
This is rain
And every drop an emotion
Undoing you from my heart
How many times I have
To be broken
Only to be fixed by
The whispers of the stars
How I wish to forget
Your memories
And the way they went
You opened the door
And walked out like
The sunset
How simple my thoughts are
That love is nothing but
Your...

Tell Me It Isn't Love
Moonlight
Crawls into my window
Like cool breeze
Echoing within my soul
And I'm looking
Up at the stars
And I'm thinking
I should be where you are
Kissing the night away
Imagine us like this forever
Your hands in my hair
My hands caressing your skin
The smell of love in the air
Like cinnamon
Love so sweet
Tangy, alluring
Dangerous, sometimes misleading
Tell me it isn't love
Crawls into my window
Like cool breeze
Echoing within my soul
And I'm looking
Up at the stars
And I'm thinking
I should be where you are
Kissing the night away
Imagine us like this forever
Your hands in my hair
My hands caressing your skin
The smell of love in the air
Like cinnamon
Love so sweet
Tangy, alluring
Dangerous, sometimes misleading
Tell me it isn't love

Insanity and Freedom
The mirrors image is fading
Everything is so distorted now
Were once pieces of a hopeful soul
Now whispers of tangled truths
Scattered to the winds without
Care without thought
Nothing else lives beyond
But emptiness - trillions of miles
Full of emptiness
I'm alone
Aimlessly roaming in the air
I don't know where I'm going
But at this moment
I don't really care
Days that will never return
I watch as they float
Throughout the horizon
I escaped from it all
To chase the brightest
Stars in the night...

As If
You ask me how I am
As if....
As if you care
You linger lurking
Yet you are not here
Never really - present
Never really - available
You are a illusion
An imaginary lover
A dream, a fantasy
You are a non - existent
Heartbeat
No longer spell - bound
Love stupid - waiting
For my next word fix
Did you think your game
Of hide - and - seek
Would last forever
Don't you know I could
Live without your presence
If only you gave me words
As if....
As if you care
You linger lurking
Yet you are not here
Never really - present
Never really - available
You are a illusion
An imaginary lover
A dream, a fantasy
You are a non - existent
Heartbeat
No longer spell - bound
Love stupid - waiting
For my next word fix
Did you think your game
Of hide - and - seek
Would last forever
Don't you know I could
Live without your presence

If You Do
If you want me, if you do
Then come kiss me, show me
Soft, moist and secret places
If you do
I know I can mean something
Something sweet
Spiral around your fingers
Swirling and raining down
Melting in your hands
Fill me like an empty page
A touch of intensity
Spinning a tale or two
Like none I've never read
Make me breath again
Lips of sweetest sin
Touch of skin
Heat and lace
Time spent sinking
Into bliss
If you do
Then come kiss me, show me
Soft, moist and secret places
If you do
I know I can mean something
Something sweet
Spiral around your fingers
Swirling and raining down
Melting in your hands
Fill me like an empty page
A touch of intensity
Spinning a tale or two
Like none I've never read
Make me breath again
Lips of sweetest sin
Touch of skin
Heat and lace
Time spent sinking
Into bliss
If you do

Come With Me
Come with me, to my bed
I wish to feel, your touch
Your kiss, each brush
Of your fingers
The tip of your tongue
Nuzzling lips to my belly
Loving me with every
Piece of your body
Your fingers to stay a
Little while longer
Goosebumps whisper, beg
Taut with excitement
As you speak silently
To my body, be in me
So deeply, come with me
To our sweet bed
I wish to feel, your touch
Your kiss, each brush
Of your fingers
The tip of your tongue
Nuzzling lips to my belly
Loving me with every
Piece of your body
Your fingers to stay a
Little while longer
Goosebumps whisper, beg
Taut with excitement
As you speak silently
To my body, be in me
So deeply, come with me
To our sweet bed
