POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I speak whats on my heart and my mind, even if it doesnt make sense.
aborted soul
I imagine what you would have looked like.
I picture you in the faces that pass me by.
I bet you were gonna inherit your fathers deep brown eyes and my sultry smile.
You would have been beautiful.
I could have loved you.
My heart was hardened while the pain and bitterness that overwhelms me poisoned my placenta possibly corrupting you.
I could not bear a Bastard child,
but I could have loved you.
The chance of a miscarriage was far greater than that of a marriage.
I was afraid that I would blame you for our mistakes that resulted in the tarnished ruins of...

ode to destruction
It was what we chose to do
thinking it's best for me and you
crossing the line with no remorse
So busy on track we got off course
secret conversations in the middle of the night
believing our inflated infatuation was right
silent kisses the day would bring
piecing back the break of spring
careless "I love you's" floated into the air
ever so public about a quiet affair
hollow hearts were greatly filled
true desires of our souls revealed
redefining a deadly sin
slow grinding to Led Zeppelin
nonchalantly aware of...

Life after Love
Do you hear that?
The silence so deafening..
The gut wrenching sound of NOTHING.
That's because you took EVERYTHING.
I was just barely clinging to a pulse
when you raped me of my heartbeat.
I'm dying..
The cold linoleum floor
becomes my only friend
as tears roll down my
face while I pray for
these dog days to end.
I'm dying..
Sick to my stomach,
I regurgitate my sullen soul.
She stares at me, weakend,
withered, and unwhole.
i'm dying..
What have you done?
I gave you my all and
in...

A Letter to God
God, there doesn't seem to
be answers for the questions
that I pray.
The sorrow's spreading like a
cancer, eating my soul away.
Whenever there's happiness,
it's followed by pain.
I feel that all my hard
work is being done in vain.
I don't want to give up,
but I have no motivation.
I'm known to build others up,
but where's my inspiration?
My heart is heavy, and people
are saying that they love me
only for them to let me down
and take advantage of me.
This can't possibly be what
you want for my life....

that I pray.

Strung Out
Stranded on the corner of ecstasy and bliss,
Got only my heart and the residue of your kiss
Having itches, having shakes; results from withdrawals
Exposing my flesh, revealing my flaws
I can't help it. I'm just so addicted
If loving you is a crime, then I should be convicted
Your spirit is exhilarating, satisfying my every need
Your words,invigorating, making my soul bleed
I'm fiending for you all the time
I cannot stop, I will not stop,until I make you mine
I'll give and give, til there's nothing I have left
Indulging in you until I draw...

Destination Death
It's a cruel, cruel world
and everybody makes mistakes.
Bullets in the barrel,
I just want a sweet escape.
The one I love left me,
and with my finger on the
trigger, I sit and contemplate.
Bullets in the barrel,
I just want a sweet escape.
Guilt and shame from disappointment,
call up God and cancel our appointment,
'Cause I'll never see his face.
Bullets in the barrel,
I just want a sweet escape.
She said she lost feelings.
I can't take it! Now my life
ain't worth living.
Ignore the bitter metal taste.....
and everybody makes mistakes.
Bullets in the barrel,
I just want a sweet escape.
The one I love left me,
and with my finger on the
trigger, I sit and contemplate.
Bullets in the barrel,
I just want a sweet escape.
Guilt and shame from disappointment,
call up God and cancel our appointment,
'Cause I'll never see his face.
Bullets in the barrel,
I just want a sweet escape.
She said she lost feelings.
I can't take it! Now my life
ain't worth living.
Ignore the bitter metal taste.....
