POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Hello to all, I started writing poems consistently about 4 years ago. I have written a number of poems (over 200) on all kinds of subjects and I am still writing because it is something I love to do.

Making Ends Meet
The girl she only comes out at night
She likes to go where the lights are not so bright
Smokey eyes and red ruby lips
She pretends she's on a catwalk and swings her hips
Since the age of fourteen she's been turning tricks
Serving males who want their kicks
"hello mate what can I do for you tonight?"
"I can fulfil your needs if the price is right"
Like re-sighting a verse the words roll off her tongue
And the start of her working night has begun
Her pimp is watching her and waiting for his cut
He beats her sometimes and calls her his...

Mothers Ruin
A child it seems but not like any other
He is left alone with just his brother
She has gone out and left them at home
With nothing to eat and all alone
The boy is so small and has just learned how to talk
And not too long ago he learnt how to walk
His brother is not much older too
And has only just learned to tie his shoes
The mother she is without a care
Barely realising that her boys are there
She comes and goes just as she pleases
Not even attending to their coughs and sneezes
The smaller boy his clothes are wet ...

The White Queen
Once upon a time in a land so old
There was a white Queen with stories to be told
She sits on her throne and rules the land
Her kingdom is beautiful and oh so grand
Sparkling jewels are in a crown upon her head
Rich sapphire and diamonds and ruby's that are so red
A gown made of golden satin and a sash made of silk
Her skin is so fair like the colour of milk
Long golden hair down her back in tresses
The Queen a goddess she looks in all her elegant dresses
Dainty golden footwear and opals on her shoes
She calls the...

Hurtful Control
A match made in heaven when they did meet
Respectful of each other with a life so sweet
Things changed as soon as rings went on their finger
Controlling thoughts started to cause hinder
For she'd come home every evening and make dinner
Not seeing his dark thoughts in his head that did linger
Sitting at the table he plays with his food
Slowly stirring is his tempered mood
With a sudden outburst he throws his plate on the floor
Calling her names and shouting she is a whore
She gets up and tries to clear the plate away
He pushes her and she...

Freaked Out
Plagued by a harsh set of consequences
Long and drawn out and breaking down your defences
Into the bowels of deception you are trudging
Eyes staring and fingers pointing as people are judging
A cataclysmic cause of certain events
Leaving you trapped in a vicious circle and you need to circumvent
Through a masked crowd you try to navigate
Beleaguered by attack with a depiction of hate
Pushing and shoving as you make your way through
Evil spirits laughing and making fun of you
Filled with a sense of impending doom
Colours of grey raining...

Wanting
Like a jigsaw piece that fits into place
Are the carefully crafted features adorned on your face
Your romantic eyes are like an ocean so blue
And I'm lost in them when I look at you
Your body is heavenly with skin so smooth
I'm mesmerised by the way in which you move
My skin tingles and I long for your touch
Your presence and aura captivates me so much
A sacred Adonis with arms so strong
It is there that I wish that I'd belong
Your sweet lips are the shape of cupids bow
And perfection is your smile when it is on show
...

Dream Evil
Feeling there are monsters under your bed
A vein is pulsating inside your head
You begin to see your own nightmare unfold
And you start to feel so cold
Feeling so restless as you try to sleep
You get lost when counting sheep
Your eyes are closed but you can see a face
As your heart begins to gather pace
You are staring at a figure in a blackened cloak
And you try to determine his masterstroke
You try to wake up but your sleep gets deeper and deeper
As you visualise the menacing grim reaper
It's dark and the mist is creeping around ...
A vein is pulsating inside your head
You begin to see your own nightmare unfold
And you start to feel so cold
Feeling so restless as you try to sleep
You get lost when counting sheep
Your eyes are closed but you can see a face
As your heart begins to gather pace
You are staring at a figure in a blackened cloak
And you try to determine his masterstroke
You try to wake up but your sleep gets deeper and deeper
As you visualise the menacing grim reaper
It's dark and the mist is creeping around ...

Caught In Time
The earth stood still just for a while
So I could see your heavenly smile
Caught in time I was twice bitten
For I could see in the stars it was written
To stop the world I had no choice
In order to hear your softly spoken voice
The other side of the planet is where the sun has gone to hide
Leaving me in darkness and coldness on this side
All I see now is a large crescent moon
For the earth will start turning again soon
Speckles of dust in the air is all that remains
And the oxygen flowing through my veins
Stars shine in the night and...
