POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Some people sketch with pencils.. I prefer to do that with words.
The thing about stars
My muse has forsaken me
Leaving me to ponder
All of these words
That have embedded
into my brain.
My thoughts race
Deafening silence
Is maddening
Desperately trying
To push away
All of the feels
Clinging to gravity
Trying so hard
to stay
Under that security blanket
of being numb...
But the thing about stars
Is they shine
Whether we see them or not.

Is they shine

The irony
I'm a lot of things
I'm just not
that girl...
I've never been pretty
Always been
The smart one
The funny one
The crazy one
Or just
The fun one
On most days
I'm okay..
with that.
Except days
I want to
be her..
Then,
it seems
absurd.
So I go back
to being
Plain old me.
The one that
sits in the corner
and writes bad
Poetry
Wondering
what it would be
like to be
That girl...
Then I laugh
Because I'm not
a girl anymore....

Love to hate you
I love to hate you..
When you grab my hair
And, I bite your chest
Then you slap my face
And, I put my hand
Around your throat
I love to hate you
When you scream
At me all the dirty
Names except
My own..
And, I cut you off with
A kiss
Then you throw me
Down on the bed
And, make me
Come instead
Then I forget
I ever hated
You at all...
Until the next time
You want
to love me...

Sanctuary
Temptation...
Has red hair, and perfectly shaped breasts
A flawless arched bow for lips
that part so sweetly when she speaks to me
It is the devil on both shoulders
Whispering sweet nothings in my ear
of how easy it would be to hide.
Betrayal comes with a sweet sales pitch
When forbidden fruit is staring me down
Plotting a 'cover up' for my suicide.
This is no garden of Eden , only a field
of lies..
My brain has fallen on deaf ears
So my heart must intervene
this time.
I can't barter...

A waiting dream
You told me to find something beautiful
and live the dream.. So, I took a picture
Of you, framed it with my heart
In hope to capture the moment...
Forever.
But, that's a long time... Yet
Time is all I have..
So, I wait with the skipped beats
That fill my heart from the flutter
Of butterfly wings in my stomach
That come every time you're near
Watching the seasons change..
Waiting for the dream to end.

One wish
As I annointed the candle with my blood..
I closed my eyes... In meditation I invisioned the stars...
It's constalations, the illuminating moon light, and all of it's mystery...
And wonder....
The stars began to shift in my mind sky...opening my third eye..
They transitioned into a face of femininty, slowly taking form of the
Holes that housed her eyes, deep black mysterious eyes that peered
Into the essence of my very soul....glaring through the fibers of my being..
I opened my eyes, and looked around me..my surroundings all too familiar..
Alone as I was...

On the way down
When I ride an elevator...
On the way down...
I remember the way your voice cracked
Just a little bit.
As you whispered in my ear.
All the things you wanted to do
In that confined space
Before you proceeded to take me
In that moment..
The way your fingers danced a long
the contours of my face
Pulling me to meet you there
Motion within motion
The taste of your kiss
The way it felt when the gravity changed
When you pushed me against the wall
The hunger in your eyes
Undressing me with your stare
Then your...

Cloak of darkness
I want to get lost
In the abyss
with you.
If I spit myself out
You can swallow
Me whole
In your cloak
of darkness
I might finally
feel the light
Against my face
There...
You can loan
Me your eyes
Only then
will I finally see
The beautiful creature
I can become.
In the abyss
with you.

Prey
I want to taste..
your mind
with my
flesh..
to see
the shining darkness
In your eyes..
When you lose control,
and take it
from me...
I want to feel the pain
that haunts me
from your dreams
You're shackled
to your fear..
Bound to your
Pitch black fantasies
Let me unlock your chains..
Shed your old skin
Reveal to me your
true nature.
You can't create
a willing victim.
I want to know your name...
You be the predator
Make me your prey...

flesh..

Until there is nothing left
I can't give you the sun.
It's magnificence burns
Far out of my reach.
I can't give you the stars
They shine brighter
than I could ever glow.
I can't give you the sea
For it's hold is much
stronger than I could
ever be.
I can't give you the soil
Without moving the earth
And, I am powerless
To the hold of of a universe
That no longer holds power
over me .
All I have to offer you
is me.
Until my last breath
When my heart beats
No more.
And, even after that.

Little black book
I want to take
a tour
Of your scars
get to know
Every beautiful
Flaw
That makes you
You
I want to
Trace
Your curves
With my finger tips
Connect the dots
From you
to me
drawing an imperfect
line from your center
To mine
And keep you etched
There...
A little black book
of flesh.
Yours, and Mine...
Then we can start...
Tearing out the pages
Of all the other details
Except our own.

Take what you want
I wonder.. If I could taste your thoughts off your lips
When you decide to hold me down, and kiss me
Like I was yours all along....
Will I recognize the familiarity of myself in your force
When you take my breath away?
Subliminal messages find me in my sleep.
I know I'm on your mind.
You're on mine too.
Know I'm not afraid.
I do trust you...
So many questions... I wonder
If you've found your answers yet, as you were wandering
In my mind...
You watch me sleep.
I bide my time, and wait.
