POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write about issues that concern me and I think that is why my works are so emotional. In high school I entered and was published in three anthologies. I love when my poems can ignite conversations and others to want to write as well.
Forgotten Soldiers
HOOK
We fight with our lives at stake just to be
Forgotten in an instant/
Tortured by the violence
But haunted by the silence/
We believe in your lies
And live out your wickedest fantasies/
Just to be
Abused and neglected Overseas/
But still we will never regret it/
Becoming forgotten Soldiers of
Her majesty’s united dynasty/
(Verse)
You send us to Hell to kill or be killed/
And we answer your call without hesitation/
Void of all emotion when we pull that trigger/
But are we really Soldiers or have we become...

'The Curse of Satan's Baptist' ~ A Short Story
The Curse of Satan’s Baptist”
The two had barely started when suddenly a loud bang echoed through the small one bedroom apartment that Kyra had moved into just before meet Gavin. The force of the unexplainable bang was strong enough to make the entire eight suite complex shudder. “What the hell was that?!?!?!?” gasped twenty year old Gavin, his voice ringing with fear, shock, and trepidation. Then turning quickly as he locked eyes with his girlfriend who was standing naked and shaking even in the darkened twilight. “Here babe, get dressed” Gavin said handing Kyra her clothes. “KYRA,...

"Debbie" (An Ode to Debbie Constantino)
A voice heard in the noise from the Otherside
The words come mumbled and whispered.
The messages they hold deciphered by an ear so keen, they seem unmistakable.
In a field shrouded with controversy, where voices ring of plenty and opinions never cease.
The mention of a name
Brings silence to critics
And clarity to voices so white.
With a name unforgettable,
A talent undeniable,
and a smile so kind,
She now resides an angel.
God, please let her remain a portal
For these voices of people long since passed.
Yes, her ways of hearing...

"In My Arms You Are Safe"
Sleep now my love for
In my arms you are safe.
Hidden away from the demon's of your past
Abused and beaten to
National Champion.
Fighting everyday to conquer your fears.
So sleep now my love for
In my arms you are safe.
Rest your beautiful porcelain face
Brown Spanish eyes
Hidden behind mocha skin.
A fierce fighter I could look at forever.
So sleep now my love for
In my arms you are safe.
Still your hips that tell no lies
Swaying and teasing
Sexual and graceful
Let your dreams (of me) run wild

"My Lil' Cousin: Princess Warrior"
The strength to overcome often discussed and thrown around loosely and far too commonly.
But I know a young child
Beautiful and innocent
Fighting against unimaginable odds.
Her family trying to keep it all together, Though she just finds a smile
Through the wretched pain.
Resilient is her spirit,
Unspeakable is her power,
Named that of a
Legendary warrior's weapon.
She fights the demons inside
Vying to take her down.
Wearing a torn and frayed gown,
Evidence of the Hell she's withstood
She...

"My Angel From Barrenquila"
Lost in the tranquility of a winter's early morning,
In a wonderland I am walking,
Thinking of the serenity of being lost my dancer's eyes.
Hell she's been thru and endured,
Still a smile on her face never fading.
A real girl, strong and confident,
Sexy, and naughty, but never a whore-y slut.
Her satin skin tinted with the hue of mocha,
Her hips move like Shakira
Her lips intoxicate and make me slur
'Bite me in the mouth'
God, I love my angel from Barranquilla.
I at arrive home, and she is sleeping
Quiet...

"La Loche"
*DEDICATED TO THE FIVE LIVES THAT WERE TAKEN IN THE LA LOCHE SCHOOL SHOOTING IN LA LOCHE, SASKATCHEWAN**
A Province, by violence like this never kissed,
Virgin to its horrid fucking lips.
Of guns firing in school.
Turning an afternoon of education into a
Lifetime of painful mourning.
Innocent and unsuspecting were the lives taken, teachers and students now rise to
Heaven
All because of the anger that raged in he who
Played
God.
Why must this shit happen
In my Province of Saskatchewan?
Why must 5 lives be sent to...

"A Lover's Kiss"
A lover's kiss
Forever may it stay upon my lips.
A sweet reminder - a bid farewell
A lover's kiss.
Remembering, inspiring, gratifying, embracing
A lover's kiss.
The unspoken 'I love you'
Respect, understanding, love make the cup runneth over.
A child, a daughter, a girlfriend missed
Her smile and laugh, never shall they cease
A lover's kiss.
For an eternity let it live in all our hearts.
A lover's kiss
Forever may it stay upon my lips.
Forever may it stay upon my lips.

For an eternity let it live in all our hearts.
A lover's kiss

"Newborn Baby/Re-Born Child"
Oh, my dearest and most beloved angel do not weep any longer, for you are here now, all wrapped up with blankets ever so tightly, you honestly look like a soft taco. And I am here holding you my quivering arms almost too petrified to even touch you ‘cause of all the unimaginable thoughts of me breaking you, but yes, you are here in my arms nonetheless and nonetheless you are safe.
Though I may not be totally ready for you or what lays waiting in the future I hope and pray that you shall grow to idolize me as I do idolize you already. I can only wish that I can be the mother you are so...

"Tears of a Story Untold"
In trenches we lay, upon Battlefields we cry, so we may see our flag fly.
Risen from the ashes of comrade charred faces, on guard we take our places...covering all our bases.
Marching on through the smoke upon which we choke...
Emotionless,
Without a thread to evoke...our steps we try to cloak.
The playing of a Trumpet sound sends another
Broken Hero
Homeward bound.
As bullets in bodies’ pound, the damage could never be rewound.
Shaken in the silence of the
Calm,
Staring at the dirt blackening our palm, we recite a psalm...

Belly Dancer
I love to watch her when she's dancing alone in the mirror of the basement studio. Effortless and elegant sexual and graceful to Egyptian melodies. Her waist, arms, and feet moving in perfect harmony as she tells silent stories of times long ago. Each movement fluid and precise, her white and gold satin costume perfect against her mocha skin. The music and her body begin to quicken the pace and it makes my heart race as I watch her getting lost in the moment. Captivating my every sense as she turns with vibrating hips and a cheeky sexy smile. The slowly she bends back, her breasts teasing and...
