POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
twists and Turns
Twists and Turns I'm trying to hide
cuts and burns you find though i hide
Everything is clearer in your eyes..
Mumbling answers to questions left unanswered
taking Deep breaths to stop threatening tears
you would hold my face in you hands
demanding answers so softly ,you would receive
Avoiding your hands completely around my waist
Afraid you might just randomly pick me up
and you still do and i cant get mad at you
i would run and you would follow me
i would Twist and Turn with every chance i got
I'm trying to burn all...
cuts and burns you find though i hide
Everything is clearer in your eyes..
Mumbling answers to questions left unanswered
taking Deep breaths to stop threatening tears
you would hold my face in you hands
demanding answers so softly ,you would receive

Afraid you might just randomly pick me up
and you still do and i cant get mad at you
i would run and you would follow me
i would Twist and Turn with every chance i got

The World Is My Stage
i want to use the world as my stage.
where i pull the strings on the marionette,
wave the baton to control the pace,
Where i leap and spin and rise on my toes
Like a ballet dancer.
All this with just words..
To describe the sounds of
Percussion instruments
The brass', woodwinds and strings
Maybe even the piano
with its black and white keys.
I want to use the world as my stage.
To use words to describe music
Beat and rythm.
Just the sound that we understand without words.
To create a picture of
sunlight and shadows
Colors and...

'when did things get so bad?''
He asked, my mind slowly began searching for answers.. I found it hard to say anything at all.. I asked myself for the umpteenth time; why did i come here... I knew he would do this to me. Ask me questions i couldn't answer.. But in a way, they did make sense. 'when did things get so bad?' .. I'm not sure.. We we're doing just fine a while back.. A happy couple, our fair share of quarrels over silly things, long phone calls, good morning texts. Back massages, it was cool, i liked it. I had my friends, you had yours.. We respected each other... And each...

Earthed
when it rains i remember
the tears i never shed
as i stood by your side as you were earthed
as i stood by your side when the car hit you
watching you fall to the ground
as the ground hit you, when you hit the ground
your skull shattered and blood smeared the tar red
how was i to know i would lose you?
i never imagined it
never thought it would happen
i guess life is full of surprises
just like you were...
please don't go...
please wake up..
why do you lie there being earthed
in the midst of all this rain...
Earthed!
the tears i never shed
as i stood by your side as you were earthed
as i stood by your side when the car hit you
watching you fall to the ground
as the ground hit you, when you hit the ground
your skull shattered and blood smeared the tar red
how was i to know i would lose you?
i never imagined it
never thought it would happen
i guess life is full of surprises
just like you were...
please don't go...
please wake up..
why do you lie there being earthed
in the midst of all this rain...
Earthed!

im Dead
Each day with you is a song
I try so hard to pretend it wont happen again
i hold my breath and count to ten... again
it is just the chorus of the song
it has to be sung again.
you look into my eyes
wheels spin in my head
what is it that you are looking for?
I'm dead
parts of me begin to disappear
once again, I begin to tear
and you couldn't hear when I cried
"stop!"
you had to play the same fucking song again
I guess it was just a game
cant say you...
