POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I wouldn’t say I’m a poet, I just write to express how I’m feeling or if I need to.
Where Rainbows collide
Oh to fall into sweet slumber
Is not for me instead I wander
Through moonbeams, magic, and starlight
And clouds and prisms oh so bright
And find what I want most claiming me
Mind body and soul when I plea
And all the rainbows collide
On a magic carpet ride
I smile though I cannot sleep
Dejected chasm feels so deep
I am denied my infernal flame
But I will smile through the rain
Close my eyes go to another dimension
Where I can express my true intention
And live every colour that’s in my mind
With no denial of the...

Silence
There’s so much I want to say
About things from my day
Or what comes into my head
That I know you’d like or that I’ve read
But I am gagged and restrained
Silence is loud and I am pained
I’ll speak where I’m not heard
Until the dawn returns
About things from my day
Or what comes into my head
That I know you’d like or that I’ve read
But I am gagged and restrained
Silence is loud and I am pained
I’ll speak where I’m not heard
Until the dawn returns

The Alchemy
I got caught in alchemy
But in the end it was only me
Our conversations were like magic
I’ll miss them the most it’s oh so tragic
So many similarities
Even laced with hilarities
I could not see how you didn’t feel this too
A meeting of the minds as well as bodies too
So much chemistry when we kissed
How is it wrong to feel such bliss
I was so sure you felt the fire
Of our infernal desire
I did not mean to cause any pain
I threw myself...

Too much
I am not for everyone or anyone it seems
I feel too much but am never seen
I can’t ever change the prophecy
So they leave and leave and leave me
But the real tragedy is they never see
Until the moment we cease to be
That no one loves like me
I am not one in a million, I’m a once in a lifetime woman
I feel too much but am never seen
I can’t ever change the prophecy
So they leave and leave and leave me
But the real tragedy is they never see
Until the moment we cease to be
That no one loves like me
I am not one in a million, I’m a once in a lifetime woman

Secret gardens
The secret gardens of my mind
Are not for everyone to find
If I let you through my gate
Please don’t let it be my mistake
The way I love is too fierce for some
Can’t handle being my moon and sun
I see your armour just like mine
Built from being broken down the line
The strength in me would be your shield
Our souls will fix the breaks we both feel
We would make love like the beasts we hide
This fire in us no one could divide
Two people cursed by feeling all so deep
Yet this yearning is my secret to keep
Are not for everyone to find
If I let you through my gate
Please don’t let it be my mistake
The way I love is too fierce for some
Can’t handle being my moon and sun
I see your armour just like mine
Built from being broken down the line
The strength in me would be your shield
Our souls will fix the breaks we both feel
We would make love like the beasts we hide
This fire in us no one could divide
Two people cursed by feeling all so deep
Yet this yearning is my secret to keep

I don’t fit in
I think about the times we are in
I don’t belong don’t fit in
I was made to walk on the moors
I know this right to my core
I was meant to be wild not tame
Not like anyone else I’m not the same
No one can love like me
Without pretence so fiercely
I have always had to be strong
You can’t catch me but I’ll play along
Unless someone can keep me in check
But I have not let him dominate me yet
I don’t belong don’t fit in
I was made to walk on the moors
I know this right to my core
I was meant to be wild not tame
Not like anyone else I’m not the same
No one can love like me
Without pretence so fiercely
I have always had to be strong
You can’t catch me but I’ll play along
Unless someone can keep me in check
But I have not let him dominate me yet

Twist of Fate
What kind of cruel trick is this
That destiny has played on me
Feeling some kind of bliss
I try to run I tried to flee
But this connection overwhelmed me
I was powerless to resist
I am always much too good
Always Love the way I wish someone would
Love me back
If someone did I’d always walk the line
I’d stay on track
They’d say you’re mine
There’d be no doubt and I’d please my man
Anytime he wanted like I know I can
He’d keep me wild, he’d know I’m strong
But he’d be by my side even when I wrong
He’d protect...

Too loud
Sometimes this world is too loud
For a quiet gentle soul
Lost in the noise of the incessant crowd
Searching for what will make her whole
Hey Saint Anthony
I’ve lost myself again
Can you please help me
Find myself amongst the shame
Am I too much of a misfit
In a world full of same
Will I ever find the hit
That makes me feel sane
Why do I maintain the soft
Despite all of the hurt
Why can’t I hold myself aloft
And clean off all the dirt
I long to be free of those eyes
Who watch my every move
To...

Things I’ll never tell
Love used to be a dream
Where everyone was as they seem
And when temptation came to call
They would never risk it all
Where they’d always be on your team
When one is down the other catches the tears that stream
But then came the first sting
It was nothing just a fling
Then the next and on we go
Rejected females sending me blow after blow
Till my self esteem is as shattered as my heart
Wondering why I’m not enough from the start
Knowing that I am worth more
But his cruel words leave me on the floor
Loving him but hating...

Energy vampires
The energy vampires came to suck out all the joy
Draining everyone dry so no ships can deploy
If they are sad we all must be sad
They lack the empathy I always add
Quick draw McGraw on the over reactions
No calm thinking not even a fraction,
Always looking on the dark side
Even the sun goes off to hide
The rants don’t take a breath
The self pity party never dies a death
I see joy in little things like sleeping hearing rain
I’ve seen darkness but don’t dwell on the pain
Get dragged under by the vampires in this land
Yearning...

The rants don’t take a breath

I’ve seen darkness but don’t dwell on the pain
Get dragged under by the vampires in this land
