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.

Little Toy Soldier
In the presence of darkness
A queen awaits in a shattered palace/
Crying tears edging closer to madness
Hidden outta sight for years/
No one hears her sadness screaming
No one cares she's fucking dying/
Twenty-nine years believing she's living a lie
Given someone else's life/
Never had any dreams of becoming a wife
So, it seems dying alone is her only destiny/
Even though she was meant to be extraordinary
Born with the pedigree of becoming historic in her majesty/
A warrior princess like Xzena,
Leaving a wake of destruction like...
A queen awaits in a shattered palace/
Crying tears edging closer to madness
Hidden outta sight for years/
No one hears her sadness screaming
No one cares she's fucking dying/
Twenty-nine years believing she's living a lie
Given someone else's life/
Never had any dreams of becoming a wife
So, it seems dying alone is her only destiny/
Even though she was meant to be extraordinary
Born with the pedigree of becoming historic in her majesty/
A warrior princess like Xzena,
Leaving a wake of destruction like...

"White On White"
In the dark of night
The moonlight shines bright
White on white
Two people young in love
Opposites rise above when hearts behove
Fitted and suited like a glove.
Laying in the truck bed
White on white
Fantasizing, imagining futures far
Gazing at the stars
Shimmering, shining like precious jewels
Diamonds white
On black midnight sky - Kingdom's crown.
In the dark of night
The moonlight shines bright
White on white
Two people young in love
Opposites rise above when hearts behove ...
The moonlight shines bright
White on white
Two people young in love
Opposites rise above when hearts behove
Fitted and suited like a glove.
Laying in the truck bed
White on white
Fantasizing, imagining futures far

Shimmering, shining like precious jewels
Diamonds white
On black midnight sky - Kingdom's crown.
In the dark of night

White on white
Two people young in love
Opposites rise above when hearts behove ...

"Work on the Grind"
At night wide awake
At work on the grind
Sacrificing sleep love and life
For labour physical duh-uh-muhned
Friends and family suh-uh-huned.
Muscles squawk
Sweats leak
Funds mock
Always bleak.
Dead of night slave driven – bound
Dread of spherical morning light – drowned.
At night wide awake
At work on the grind
Sacrificing sleep love and life
For labour physical duh-uh-muhned
Friends and family suh-uh-huned.
Corporation manipulation
Program damnation
16 thru 75 – beyond

"Through a Hero's Cries" Sonnet
Through a hero's cries
Dies the fire inside
Hidden in fright she keeps it outta sight/
Night of battle her mind demon infested/
Molested and degraded her confidence is faded
Serrated edges fo a pill or bullet
Pull it/ she's wanting to end it all
Fall to pieces she can't take it
Naked on the floor she decides
Lies/ through a hero's cries
That she don't wanna die/
Screamin'
Through a hero's cries
Dies the fire inside/
Dies the fire inside
Hidden in fright she keeps it outta sight/
Night of battle her mind demon infested/
Molested and degraded her confidence is faded
Serrated edges fo a pill or bullet
Pull it/ she's wanting to end it all
Fall to pieces she can't take it
Naked on the floor she decides
Lies/ through a hero's cries
That she don't wanna die/
Screamin'
Through a hero's cries
Dies the fire inside/

The Un-Enlisted War Part 2
Proud young teacher on a new school year
Standing at the front of the class
Dressed in her Army blues
With a smile so bright
You’d never know she’s been to Hell and back
But this is just her second-year home from Iraq/
Waiting patiently for her class to fill in
On Friday, September first/
Gives a quick wink to a little boy
She taught last year all dressed in red
So he won’t forget to
Remember Everyone Deployed/
Beside him sits little Emily Grey
But when that teacher sees Emily
Wearing her sister’s dog tags

"My Vow in Pink"
This poem I pen for you
To let you know I will love you through.
This battle of wills -life and death you fight
In your darkest days I promise to be a strengthening light.
A shirt of pink I wear
A symbol of the burden you bare
This is my promise I vow to you
I will love you through
Until this match is done
I be by your side until it is won.
To let you know I will love you through.
This battle of wills -life and death you fight
In your darkest days I promise to be a strengthening light.
A shirt of pink I wear
A symbol of the burden you bare
This is my promise I vow to you
I will love you through
Until this match is done
I be by your side until it is won.

"Inescapable"
There is a place I know of
From a time long ago
Distant now, forgotten, unspoken of.
The lush lands to serene to touch with hands,
Yet to palpable to be a dream.
The pain this place I know of brings
Stings like a malevolent nigh'mare dream,
But prusude with reckless abandon the same.
This place I know of
From a time long ago
Distant now, forgotten, unspoken of.
A place of extrodinary possibility
Held tight and small
Stretched wide and afar.
This place that I know of
From a time long ago ...
From a time long ago
Distant now, forgotten, unspoken of.
The lush lands to serene to touch with hands,
Yet to palpable to be a dream.
The pain this place I know of brings
Stings like a malevolent nigh'mare dream,
But prusude with reckless abandon the same.
This place I know of
From a time long ago
Distant now, forgotten, unspoken of.
A place of extrodinary possibility
Held tight and small
Stretched wide and afar.
This place that I know of
From a time long ago ...

Fake a Life
Camera flashes in my eyes
Couple seconds later that picture is posted online/
Another smile in the sunshine
Pretending everything is fine
But I’m getting sick of this grind/
Got a circle of two thousand friends
That I’ve never met
That click, like, and comment
On every second of this life that I present/
But this life that I present
It ain’t real, it don’t show the pain I feel/
It’s only meant as a façade,
A smoky mirror illusion to mask the face I’m dying/
I need to make a confession
I’m sick of faking this life I’m...

"Ever Morphing Surroundings Abound"
Amongst the hustle and bustle of a mid-city mall filled with shadows moving freely like a salmon climbing upstream they swim against the grain of their own primitively private schemes, perhaps in search of a vastly different, yet united dream chasing tirelessly as it gradually loses steam.
To pause and sneak a glimpse around at these ever morphing surroundings abound is to be nearly rewound to a time felt safe and sound. Though the security felt was faulty when crowned, this reassurance never ceases to astound insurance this priceless and non-perishable is truly rarely ever...

"Firefight Prayer"
Dear God,
I pray to you in this
Firefight
That you may help me
Isolate fear and shatter my conscience
Bring about my bravery
So I might destroy enemies of thy country.
For freedom I fight
Blind is my sight
Government lies are my light
In this tretchorous Hell
I will stand tall
Strong, true, fast, and well.
If I should pass before the sun
My only request is that
Never shall my name
Escape the memory of thy country's mind.
For freedom I fight
Blind is my sight ...
I pray to you in this
Firefight
That you may help me
Isolate fear and shatter my conscience
Bring about my bravery
So I might destroy enemies of thy country.
For freedom I fight
Blind is my sight
Government lies are my light
In this tretchorous Hell
I will stand tall
Strong, true, fast, and well.
If I should pass before the sun
My only request is that
Never shall my name
Escape the memory of thy country's mind.
For freedom I fight
Blind is my sight ...
