POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write many different kinds of poems and though I try to keep them upbeat, some don't quite work out that way. Most are about love and the heartbreak that goes along with it...
Will You?
Do you mean what you say
that you'll love me any way?
With my make-up off
and my hair lookin' rough?
If I'm red-faced from tears
after all these years
will you still love me
always truly?
If my smile leaves
and I cannot retrieve
the happiness from the depression
would your love lessen?
Will you have my back
if I become "fat"?
When my face is all wrinkles
will your eyes still twinkle
with that wonderful light
that screamed "Mr. Right"?
When we can't remember each other's names
will you still feel...
that you'll love me any way?
With my make-up off
and my hair lookin' rough?
If I'm red-faced from tears
after all these years
will you still love me
always truly?
If my smile leaves
and I cannot retrieve
the happiness from the depression
would your love lessen?
Will you have my back
if I become "fat"?
When my face is all wrinkles
will your eyes still twinkle

"Us"
It's so hard not to cry
when you, I walk by
I see you and call
on my courage in the halls
so I can go by
with my head held high
my shoulders back and back straight
even though I really hate
to see you with someone else
knowing to them, you're secrets you'll tell
with them you'll spend all your time
like we did when you were mine.
All these memories, I wish I could sell
like you in those jeans that fit so well
Your laughter at my jokes
all the nudges, pinches and pokes
Everything that made it "us"...
it's like it was...

Do You?
Do you ever get that feeling
when your heart has finished healing
when you're writing *That person's* name
over and over; always the same
trying different ways
and hoping that they
are the *one*
comparable to all but none.
When you hope their truth
is actually true.
That the look in their eyes
was never a lie.
Hopin' to see
in your future; they'll be.
Where to every love song
you both belong.
in every story
it's never boring
cause they're there to
right there beside you
til the very end
not just pretend....

Country
I'm a country girl proud and true
who doesn't want a thing to do
with a city slicker
that wants to snicker
behind my back
'bout what I lack.
I may not have a horse or tractor
but I sure as heck know what I'm after.
I've got my truck which is good luck.
If you're gonna threaten me then back on up.
My shot's good
and my hood
could use an ornament that's mighty slim
with clothes of perfect trim.
I may not hunt
but I know how to get what I want.
I may not have professional-lookin' shoes
but at keast I have a clue
'bout what...

Will You Be My Penguin?
Will you be my penguin
even when the world starts to end?
Will you be my lover
even when hiding under cover?
Will you be my soul
when everything else, people have stole?
Will you be my life
when everything is not right?
Will you be my kite
when nothing else can fly?
Will you be my right
when everything else is a lie?
Will you be my heart
when no technology will start?
Will you be my high
when everyone starts to die?
Will you be my glow
when light no longer shows?
Will you be my change
when everything is so strange?...

Your Soul
Your soul is mine.
I'm just in time
to sit back real nice
and watch your demise.
I bet you wonder
how this is.
I'm partly ginger;
did you notice?
You sold your soul
with a look.
when my time you stole;
you were caught on my hook.
I feed on your fears
and endless tears,
waitin' all night
for when the time is right
to come out and play
and hear you say,
"God, help me please!!!!"
but He won't hear your pleas.
Your soul is sold
as I have already told.
You did it yourself
not anyone else.
I...

Last Day
Today is that last day I can say.
How much I care and want you to stay.
You're my best friend and nothing will be the same.
Though I hope your life will be, just as good as anything.
I don't want you to leave, but wipe my tears upon my sleeve.
And ask you to never leave.
Today I cry and say goodbye.
Now, you may not hear me weep,
But later, I may not even fall asleep.
Our friend is strong and true
but your leaving makes me blue.
I don't Quite know, which to show,
how I feel: fake or real?
i try to keep my tears...

Think Of Me
You know sometimes
we listen to the lies
all of the rumors
started for someone's sick humor.
we think why not?
It's not like we're hot
or smart or funny.
Why should I keep running
in this race of life
when it doesn't feel right?
No one would care
or shift a single hair
to stop it
the deep wrist slit
or the rope hang
cause no one would give a dang.
If I'm fat
or an ugly rat;
a slut or whore
who should walk out that door
and never come back.
Then why bother?
It may not even hurt my family...
but no...

I hated you
I know you can hear.
I know this is clear.
I gave you my trust
but you had only lust.
It was not enough.
It was not your love.
So I wouldn't bend
to give you your end.
To fulfill your desire.
So you soon tired
of being with me
this I could see.
I caught you in the act.
I hated you, it's a fact.
I cried so hard
for my heart was bombarded
by things I didn't know
yet I did show.
I loved my life
but soon found strife
because of you
and I hated you.

A Love Story
There was this girl,
this girl was broken.
To the world,
her words unspoken.
She thought it was love
with that one boy.
It wasn't enough.
She was a toy.
It lasted two months
before she saw
all the bumps,
and every flaw.
He posted online
he loved someone else
when all this time
she had truly felt.
She asked him
one day
if she was with them
he wouldn't say.
He said no
it wasn't true
but he was a hoe
that's what she thought she knew.
A few more guys later
she meets this one.
He doesn't hate...

Do you, are you, could you, will you?
I always love to see
what people will think of me.
If they will love or hate
Show disgust or appreciate
who it is that I am
but usually no one can
handle me truly.
They think I'm loopy.
It's all the same
they think I'm insane.
Maybe, cause it's true?
well, do you?
Do you feel that way
or are you scared to say
what is really true
well, are you?
They all say they love me
but I can see
they are scared
though they once cared.
Could you love me without being scared too?
well, well, could you?
They say they'll...

Everyone
Light. Light.
It is too bright.
Dark. Dark.
My racing heart.
Sun. Sun.
They always shun.
Moon. Moon.
It is too soon.
Sky. Sky.
Everyone will die.
Space. Space.
I want out of this place.
Grass. Grass.
I am the last.
Stars. Stars.
Where are the cars?
Life. Life.
It's much too bright,
And dark,
And my Heart,
Is in the sky,
Because everyone, everyone, everyone will die.
It is too bright.
Dark. Dark.
My racing heart.
Sun. Sun.
They always shun.
Moon. Moon.
It is too soon.
Sky. Sky.
Everyone will die.
Space. Space.
I want out of this place.
Grass. Grass.
I am the last.
Stars. Stars.
Where are the cars?
Life. Life.
It's much too bright,
And dark,
And my Heart,
Is in the sky,
Because everyone, everyone, everyone will die.
