POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
My favorite way to write is very deep and emotional. I write in free verse and like rhyme but not too much and I like reading sentimental and deep poems. I like poems that are true to life and uplifting as well.

LATE WINTER
November passed and I was so happy
December passed I was so happy
Thinking we were in the clear
By February the sun should be sneaking around the horizon
The birds coming back to us to sing hallelujah
It is spring!
We should be stripping the furs and the weight off
Come February
Here is February
A blizzard and three storms in two weeks
Are you kidding me?
Christmas and the holidays are now histories
Ginormous flakes of snow fill the air
We can never see the ground
Yay...it wants to keep coming down
My eyes hurt from...

HAPPY
I want to walk into a day where I am happy about something
I do not care what it is
But for crying out loud be happy about something!
Whether it is the fact the sun is shining
Keeping the darkness locked away
Far away from my heart
My mental state of mind
I am not bed bound
I must be happy because I'm stuffing a good dinner into my mouth
My tummy is grabbing it like a mouse falling down a hole
It tugs at me no more
From within my core
Be happy for the things not focused on
This job keeps me going, and I must say...
It...

THE MYSTERY GIRL
What is she made of?
None of this sugar and spice stuff
In a fairy tale land story
A hundred years ago
Was a soft-hearted gal once
She wants the boy downtown to drag her out of her pathetic shell
Rid her of her hard glare
For miles of tough love if that's what it takes
As balloons pop in the thinnest air in the sky
Nothing breathes
Neither will her dirty clothes she has worn all these years
She's got these jagged edges
From the knives of life sliced through her fragile sores
Her skin is leather and demeanor has taken that of a...

THE LONELY HOURS
She has not slept in days
Her prison keeps her at bay
Weeping as her heart allows
Is it all in her head or is she losing herself?
She has sunk in the trenches of the darkness where the demon prowls
The hours are seconds
The days are minutes
The years have been forgotten in the speck of time
I do not remember where they went
Did they really happen?
The years blur by her in a dream well kept
A comatose body with a wandering soul
Day after day
Step after step
Where her heart thumps in the empty space it rents

FRIENDS
People will borrow you
For a brief time
Then when they decide you are no good for them
After you are used up and torn limb to limb
The relationship is thrown back into the murky swap
With the rest of the foul smells of leftovers
Lured in with the lies and nonsense
That you are
True friends
They make you feel like a rockstar
Like you are a queen in their regime
So all the meanwhile
You are cool and living high
Thinkin you will always have this friend by your side
Feelin like you are actually wanted
When at one time...

FEBRUARY
In secret
I cry
But that doesn't change a thing as soon as I open my eyes
My mind thinks this is dejavu or reincarnated time that has happened
Then left me behind to pick up pieces
That I will never find a place for
To miss what I have lost over and over again
To dream about him
To wake up
To only see that he is not here
He will not walk through the door as he once did
Even still, it seems as though he will walk through the door
I expect him to any minute now
The house is so quiet without him here I cannot think ...

WHITE ANGEL
White whispy wings above my head
Are you from God?
You must be from Heaven
Suspending over me
Such as a baby confined to their crib
I know not the reason
Nor will I ever understand
Swirling wings swimming there
A silhouette of pale white shimmer
Will not reveal her face
Frozen are my hands and limbs
My eyes can still dance side to side in their warm sockets
But why are you here for me?
I stare into the cloud of mystery
Fascinated
This is a one-time thing

GRADUATION
I thought four years would be forever and not end
That somehow one year would be like ten
Looking at pictures of my classmates
Some have not changed
Those who have
Either way, I still remember us as teens
Now we have matured
Out of our childhood shells
We will never be children again
Twenty-something years ago seems so far away
I can still feel the warmth of the eighty-degree sun beating down on our cloaks
Guys in black
Girls in red
Remembering the excitement as it was...

HEARTBREAK
Why does LOVE sometimes sit on our chest and lacerate the heart?
The salt drips in her eyes
The bleach burning fires
Her eyes dry as an Arizona sun
Laced with scars causing her blindness
The moon is the lighted path at night
Over a funeral piece
A tombstone may it be
She hides all the words that hang on the hinges of her
Heart, soul, mind, and off the cliffs of her mouth
The night is her veil she hides behind, with whiskey in hand
Her mind is a clouded sky
She drips into the earth's soil
Her...
The salt drips in her eyes
The bleach burning fires
Her eyes dry as an Arizona sun
Laced with scars causing her blindness
The moon is the lighted path at night
Over a funeral piece
A tombstone may it be
She hides all the words that hang on the hinges of her
Heart, soul, mind, and off the cliffs of her mouth
The night is her veil she hides behind, with whiskey in hand
Her mind is a clouded sky

SUNRISE THIS MORNING
The sun ascends this morning 6AM
Majesty of the day
Waking up to welcome Him
The way I am...
Underwear and a cup of freshly ground coffee
Barely thinking, barely opening one crusted eye
Just existing
Absorbing the atmosphere
Last bit of night essence
Calmness
Now only to enter into society's lounge
The day in its infancy
The sun rises to meet me
I to meet him with every cell in me
With a glorious frame of mind
The fullness of intensity, energy, optimism
I will not fail you
Majesty of the day
Waking up to welcome Him
The way I am...
Underwear and a cup of freshly ground coffee
Barely thinking, barely opening one crusted eye

Now only to enter into society's lounge

TIME
Time will pass us by
Time tells no lie
For our regrets are ours alone
We cannot change the clock
The hands move by fate alone
Going backward would be tragic
What is learned, should be learned
What will be, will be
If we screw up, tomorrow will still be
Today we have a second chance to make it up
Time is as a dream
Ten things of grudges or regrets of things not done
Flashing through our minds one by one
We cannot hold them in our hands
Or closely to our heart
As we wish we...

THE DRIVE
The lines in the middle of the road become one
My eyes grow heavy as each mile passes
The congestion of the night is falling ill on my space
The darkness is unwelcoming, growing thicker, as the hours pass
Seeing visions of past dreams stepping onto the road in front of me
My God!
Sleep deprivation has plagued my mind
Without thinking about any particular thing, my eyes creep up to the rearview mirror
Taking a silent gulp
My throat falling into my heart
Suddenly I feel a presence, coldly crawling over my back
I see...
My eyes grow heavy as each mile passes
The congestion of the night is falling ill on my space
The darkness is unwelcoming, growing thicker, as the hours pass

Without thinking about any particular thing, my eyes creep up to the rearview mirror
