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.
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...
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
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

In my dreams
I kissed you in my dreams last night
I know it is forbidden
But I woke up smiling
I must keep it hidden
How do you stop the feeling
You’ve met the yin to your yang
When I know everyone would be reeling
So I must let the yearning pang
And only meet you in my dreams
I know it is forbidden
But I woke up smiling
I must keep it hidden
How do you stop the feeling
You’ve met the yin to your yang
When I know everyone would be reeling
So I must let the yearning pang
And only meet you in my dreams

The ‘Melancoholic’
Our souls align and bring the light
Magical, iridescent shining bright
But
Darkness descends when the liquid hits the veins
Clouds rain eggshells to dance on around the drains
The one who HYDES rises to the top
Venom spouts and never stops
The vinyl skips losing me doesn’t matter matter matter
Your lyrics slice making my heart shatter shatter shatter
The demon is here thinking everyone will take me
Whilst thundering threatening I’ll flee
Silence meets noise to diffuse the cruel
The dazzle slowly fades from the jewel
Everything...

Your lyrics slice making my heart shatter shatter shatter
The demon is here thinking everyone will take me
Whilst thundering threatening I’ll flee
Silence meets noise to diffuse the cruel
The dazzle slowly fades from the jewel
Everything...

Just let me be
Sometimes I wish I was invisible
Far away hidden from the view
Of those to whom I seem so visible
Those who prey on the sensitive and make you ashamed of being you
I try to make myself small
So as not to get their attention
But their cruelty always comes to call
No insecurity, no fault or flaw they won’t mention
Their words are like dementors draining the soul out of me
Too this, too that, taking me to task
Would they feel better if I ceased to be
All these people for whose opinion I didn’t ask
Betrayal always...

Their words are like dementors draining the soul out of me
Too this, too that, taking me to task
Would they feel better if I ceased to be
All these people for whose opinion I didn’t ask
