POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
My style of writing is more akin to prose than poetry. I write freely and my technique isn't the best but I try to be as authentic as possible. This is my way of exploring the human condition.
Hugging You Completes Me
Yes we've seen each other naked
Yes we've done things to each other
That momentarily made us connect to the divine
Yes our lips have locked and made a moment feel like eternity
Yes we have shared hopes and dreams
We have shared pain and sorry
We have been so much to each other
Yet for some reason
It's your hugs that complete me
That embrace and warms
That sense of comfort
Us not needing to speak
Just our hearts staring to sync
I just love 'em
Yes we've done things to each other
That momentarily made us connect to the divine
Yes our lips have locked and made a moment feel like eternity
Yes we have shared hopes and dreams
We have shared pain and sorry
We have been so much to each other
Yet for some reason
It's your hugs that complete me
That embrace and warms
That sense of comfort
Us not needing to speak
Just our hearts staring to sync
I just love 'em

The Activity of the Lonely
Bedded them all
Letting them fall
Kissing her pussy
Letting her lips
Lock with my own
As I say all the things
Which I can't tell anybody
Filled with company
Yet nobody knows me
The party never ends
For I have nowhere else to go
You may know this feeling
The feeling that motivates
The activities of the lonely
Letting them fall
Kissing her pussy
Letting her lips
Lock with my own
As I say all the things
Which I can't tell anybody
Filled with company
Yet nobody knows me
The party never ends
For I have nowhere else to go
You may know this feeling
The feeling that motivates
The activities of the lonely

Calculations
I hate how interest breeds attraction
One day nobody likes you
The next everyone like you
Now you're out here making calculations
Who really fits the bill?
Making pros and cons of multiple people
Meanwhile you don't have the energy
What happened to a boy likes a girl
Yet you find yourself in 'girls like the boy'
Boy is confused
Boy doesn't want to hurt anyone
Yet this indecision will leave everyone hurt
All because the one he likes
Probably doesn't like him
While he actually doesn't like the ones that like him ...

What's Your Name Again?
It all started with a
'hey how are you doing'
One random conversation nothing to think to deeply about.
It happens people are friendly.
The second time must've been a fluke, She was probably just passing by.
Fun conversation as per usual.
Over time the conversation gets a little deeper. She even protests the fact that she's the one who always comes to see you.
'You never check up on me you know'
Inception has ensued
'She's right' you think to yourself.
Another week rolls over, you pace...

Early Days Fear
It's way too early to call
It's way too early to fall
I really tried to avoid it all
Yet here I am crushing
Here I am wishing
I felt differently
Yet this entirely
Feels so different
Feelings flowing
like a current
Damn I'm really crushing
Really liking someone
This isn't me at all
Situations like these
often don't end well
It's really to early to call
But she's on my mind
I think about her well being
I love seeing her smile
But only I could be feeling this way ...

The Retail Store, Part 15
My final day was approaching
Candice had already left a few months ago, Jay hadn't come back
I guess he couldn't face the music
We started pulling more shifts
It was tiring but the money helped me a lot.
"You've been so calm newbs, Candy clearly is treating you well"
"A normal hello would work Samantha"
"Yeah that's not my style, Hi's and Bye's are too emotional"
"It's called courtesy"
"Just spill the beans, you and Candice?"
"We're good"
"An era is about to end"
As if on cue the...

The Retail Store, Part 14
Candice left and came back with towels and placed them over her bed.
We had moved from the lounge to her bedroom. I stared at her as she was preparing the room.
Soft carpet floor, great natural lighting, for a one room apartment this place felt luxurious.
I noticed music playing, neo-soul/rnb, I didn't know the song or singer but her voice was so heartwarming.
She lit a few candles, scented but not overbearing
"Smell and Sound are sorted" She remarked
"Don't forget Sight" I retorted
Her body was a marvel to me,...

I'm going to leave the store"
"What... really?"
"Yes I already handed in my resignation, I'm serving my notice now"
I sat there contemplating Candices decision. I really didn't see her outside the store. It had just dawned on me.
"I'm an idiot aren't I?"
"Yeah you're really 'special' you know"
"That's pretty dark Candy" as I laughed
"Well you've completed the set, got to fuck all three C's"
"It's crazy don't you think, you and I are always in a group setting?"
"That's because you avoid...

The Retail Store, Part 12
Months had gone by
And in this time I decided to lie low
A part of this was from a feeling of guilt for what I saw myself becoming
Working at the store, helped me pay off my debts and I was close to breaking free. That feeling made me work even harder.
I kept a bit of a distance from the staff keeping our relationship friendly but with no benefits. All seemed to be going well until an ember of the past started burning
"Well you sure have outdone yourself, I'm not even sure if we should still call you Newbie" The boss smirked at me
"I...

The Retail Store, Part 11
Bosslady, proceeded to open the door
"This is our red room" she said sternly
"I guess you're not shocked, so tell me who let you in here"
I guess I have officially been called into the principals office.
I kept quiet, not responding
"Such privileges are earned, everyone knows this. Newbie don't get ahead of yourself, so tell me why you were in here?"
"There's no way I'm speaking"
"You know I have the power to fire you"
"If it comes down to it then so be it"
She laughed sarcastically "Loyal I...

The Retail Store, Part 10
It was Tuesday Morning
I skipped Monday because I was too out of it. I needed time to recover.
Upon my return, the air was piercing
It was too soon for me to start slacking
I knew this but this option is better than looking like a mess.
You just know when you're in for trouble
However to my surprise the morning went smoothly.
Sales were good for the midweek.
It did also help that the 3 Cs were nice again.
I got off clean, or so I thought.
It was nearing lunchtime
When the boss asked to talk to me:
"We...

Her Curiosity
Nobody knows me
like she knows me
Yet she still has her inhibitions
She saw a side to me
Which I show nobody
I let her fulfil her curiosity
Letting her see a part of me
that's mostly hidden
She reached for it to feel it
She wanted to stroke it
Her shell was breaking in front of me
Her touch felt foreign yet lovely
Soft unlike my own
Gentle even when
quickening the pace
I told her how to continue
Reminding her the tip is the key spot
She was enjoying this
For her it was like stealing sweets ...
