POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm just human, like you.
Where Are You?
I know you're out there,
Maybe reading my words,
I feel your heart missing mine,
Even if your voice, I've never heard.
There has to be something more,
A heart that gets mine,
So I sit here waiting,
In the darkness of the night.
I look for you blindly,
In every eye that catches mine,
But you're never there,
Your spark of madness, I cannot find.
Please come find me,
Before my light disappears completely,
It is all but gone,
Soon to be lost in eternity.

Please come find me,
Before my light disappears completely,
It is all but gone,
Soon to be lost in eternity.

When You're Gone
I'm not someone who,
Will forget you when you're gone,
With me, you will remain.

Annoying Sexy Body Opinions
"You look greatest when you feel like a damn Queen"
-Most Girls, by Hailee Steinfeld
A disturbing number of guys I've known have had their opinions on what I should/shouldn't do: how I should wear my hair, the clothes I wear, what beauty treatments/products I spend money on, and if I do/if I don't wear make-up that day, my ideal body weight, what I should change (or not change); you name it.
It went over their heads that I could give two Fxs less about what their opinion is on the matter.
What I want to do to feel...

There's No Place Like Hiraeth
I wish you knew how much I miss you.
The way you laugh & the things you would do.
I miss having someone down, to go with,
On spontaneous & loosely planned birding trips.
I wish you where here doing the research with me,
Life, something like we wanted it to be.
I wish you could help train undergrads that are new,
The way you helped when I was learning, too.
I wish you would write, or text, or call.
I wish I had my best friend through this all.

Foolish Crush
I've had my fair share
of self-destructive behavior,
Chasing a feeling that
My heart has been missing.
I don't know how to
Wield my self control,
And how to not fall
For everyone I get to know.
"Is he thinking of me?";
I am tortured with this thought.
"Is he the one?";
I always find they're not.
I don't know if I will taste
That kind of love again,
Where bargaining chips have no value
Because we've put all that we are in.
Please, foolish heart, ...

Divergent Paths
When paths diverge,
Sometimes
they converge back
to the same road.
And then,
Sometimes
Most times
They never do.
The division,
Is constant
Reticular paths
Of goodbyes & hellos.
Love,
Romantic & platonic
Takes more courage
After a heart knows divergence.

Failure
What do you do?
When your heart is in two?
And if you weren't there,
No one would care?
When you want to scream,
At this nightmare dream?
And the life you've led,
Feels more like being dead?
When the bridges are burned,
And distrust is earned?
And there's no one around
To save you now?
When your heart is in two?
And if you weren't there,
No one would care?
When you want to scream,
At this nightmare dream?
And the life you've led,
Feels more like being dead?
When the bridges are burned,
And distrust is earned?
And there's no one around
To save you now?

Silhouette Ash
I lit the four corners first,
but the paper never seemed to catch flame.
It kept burning,
but there were no red embers.
The edges just rolled back slowly,
turned black then gray,
and seemed to melt away.
Slowly, far too slowly.
I wanted it to hurry along,
the weight of those words
had been with me too long.
Even...

As Wise as a Crow
What if I never met him?
Would I ponder birds like I do?
Would I see the magic hidden
In the trees and skies of blue?
What if our paths had never crossed
And I never knew his name?
Would I have succeeded,
In my studies, all the same?
What if I didn't seek his opinion
On so many hard days?
Would I have let logic, with understanding,
guide my haphazard ways?
What if I didn't tell him
How much he means to me?
Would...

Hard to Not Miss This: Soft Version
Finally, we are alone.
Trying to not make our thoughts obvious.
Not to the crowds, not to ourselves.
Failing.
They knew.
Eyes locked. Hearts racing. Bodies shaking.
Impulse, instinct, unrepressed desire,
increase as distance is decreased.
The burning in our throats
begging us, calling us, longing us
to fall hard into that passionate kiss.
One more kiss will never be enough.
Never.
Our bodies call to each other.
Your...

Growth
It doesn't need to rain today,
The soil is moistened well enough,
By the drops
that glide gently down her face,
Finding home,
In the depths below,
Bringing hope to a tiny seed,
as gently as a bird landing in a willow tree.
As needed as
the wind that blows:
A brand new breath
feels her lungs,
She holds it close...then lets it go.
The sprouting of a new life has begun.

Same Shite
Why would I want something new?
When it's the same shit on a different day?
When I can focus on my goals & dreams,
Without someone getting in the way?
I am over the rush
of looking for more,
My heart doesn't flutter
Like it did before.
There isn't anyone out there,
Worth my time,
No one worth messing with my emotions,
Or fucking with my mind.
I am cut off
in the most selfish way,
And I don't care if you care,
Not today.
