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.
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 ...

My Privilege
It's crazy to be called a writer
In a world where many can write
We're all literate
Yet there is a privilege
That is given to a few
The privilege of expressing themselves
Through words
Be it thoughts or feelings
This expression can be felt by others
This is really abstract to think about
But really what makes a writer
Language is merely a means
To communicate
It's different from region to region
But even if you translate
The text of someone who may not understand a word of how you speak
The message still runs...

The Retail Store, part 9
I woke up in the evening, still next to Candice. She was still asleep, yet she was facing me. Must've turned at some point.
Claire was not in the apartment. Honestly I don't know where she could've gone.
So I tenderly got out of bed to not startle Candice. So I can go get a shower.
This was a very contemplative session, because when I was asleep I still had flashbacks of what happened today. Most of all I swear, Candice had tears in her eyes when we were done.
They weren't sad tears, I guess we really were vulnerable with each other.

I've given up on love
Maybe I had high hopes
Maybe I gave too much
Maybe I'm just not cut out for it
Point is, I've given up on love.
Oh no I'm not hurt at all
I took all the time I needed to heal
This me just speaking about my truth
And in all honesty
I don't think I'll ever fall in love again
I've grown too used to being on my own
I've grown to used to not compromising
I know nobody is going to call me
And I'm in no rush to call anyone too
I love just living my life as I see fit
Nobodies opinion but my own
I am hard...

The Retail Store, part 8
There she was, pussy on my face.
She was still wet from earlier and going down on Claire must've further turned her on.
The way she was speaking earlier, I really didn't think I'd even get to touch her. Yet now my hands were on her thighs, her hands touching my head and my lips on her vulva.
This was definitely a moment to savour.
She rode my fave with intent and valor, squirming as she was growing sensitive. Honestly I wish I could say I was the cause but really I was only a tool of her own self pleasure.

You sure have a way to tame these lone wolfs don't you" Candice remarked as she went to go put her bags next to the couch.
It's crazy how casual she was being considering what she walked into. Yet for some reason you could tell she didn't care much, she seemed very comfortable.
Claire's place being a bachelor apartment didn't leave much room for privacy but hey here we are now.
"I thought it's girls night in but somebody changed the plans by inviting the newbie"
'He invited himself' Claire responded 'We had some issues to sort out you know' ...

This is the point of no return. A line is about to be crossed which I've done my utmost best to keep.
Well right now, I was thinking with my head and I don't mean the one attached to my neck.
Claire and I wound up naked on her bed. Still making out, I guess we were kissing for past time. I didn't mind especially with her breathing getting heavier.
I started kissing her neck again and started moving down. Caressing her body, man she was so soft. She knew were these kisses were going. Breasts, nipples, stomach, all these kisses heading in one direction. ...

Claire and I hadn't spoken all week. Not since what she saw.
On top of that, I could feel Samantha's hold over me. She made me submit and I was all to giving. I still owed her and as to what I don't know.
Candice and Chloe also seemed offish, they didn't know me that well so I really don't get it. Maybe Claire said something. I really needed answers.
Sunday was our day off and I went over to Claire's place. Normally I'd call before but she wasn't picking up her phone. So here I was at her apartment door not even sure what I was going to say.

It's getting annoying now
You're trying too hard
To sound smart
You're trying too hard
To be sensitive
You're trying too hard
To seem successful
You're trying too hard
To be overtly sexual
You're trying too hard
To be social
You're just trying too hard
To be everything
But yourself
Yes they do it
And boy do they do it well
But unless that's really you
Faking it definitely isn't
Making anything happen
Real recognize real
And nobody recognizes you
To sound smart
You're trying too hard
To be sensitive
You're trying too hard
To seem successful
You're trying too hard
To be overtly sexual
You're trying too hard
To be social
You're just trying too hard
To be everything
But yourself
Yes they do it
And boy do they do it well
But unless that's really you
Faking it definitely isn't
Making anything happen
Real recognize real
And nobody recognizes you
