POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Come sail my ocean and we'll drown togetherA delicately dainty quill, doused in the darker depths of my heart
Retarded
Home alone, retarded
On the phone, retarded
It's a phase, retarded
Set in her ways, retarded
At her school, retarded
Made a fool, retarded
I guess it's all, retarded
Whatever they call, retarded
What they see, retarded
She must be... retarded
On the phone, retarded
It's a phase, retarded
Set in her ways, retarded
At her school, retarded
Made a fool, retarded
I guess it's all, retarded
Whatever they call, retarded
What they see, retarded
She must be... retarded

Sunshiny Rage
You stare at a sun
Hotter and brighter it burns
Are you going blind?
Hotter and brighter it burns
Are you going blind?

The Feeling of Flying
The feeling of flying
Is the feeling of dying
And you're waiting to see
How much farther is free
Sinking into the dark
Mind ripping apart
Testing the ground
No, not a sound
When will we hit
The bottom of this pit?
Is the feeling of dying
And you're waiting to see
How much farther is free
Sinking into the dark
Mind ripping apart
Testing the ground
No, not a sound
When will we hit
The bottom of this pit?

Paper Lives
What are we, but crumpled paper?
Tossed aside, blown way
Our story trampled by others
Getting caught under a bench
Longing to be unfolded
Our edges worn with age
Our upper corner torn
Somehow pieced together
Dreading the day we finally tear...

Where it Began
Months have passed
Seasons have changed
The colors of fall emerging
They highlight the warmth of your eyes
And they contrast with mine
When the fireplace lights
Something inside burns alongside
You keep my heart bright
You keep me fighting ever harder
You're the reason I'm alive
And this is the start
Let us walk through this life
Remembering where it first began
Seasons have changed
The colors of fall emerging
They highlight the warmth of your eyes
And they contrast with mine
When the fireplace lights
Something inside burns alongside
You keep my heart bright
You keep me fighting ever harder
You're the reason I'm alive
And this is the start
Let us walk through this life
Remembering where it first began

Dancing with the Blade
It has begun, a song once sung
One I swore I'd never replay
Three
Two
One
Not quite done
I'll never see the light of day
My weapon in hand
Permanent brand
The beat pumps through my veins
It's stuck in my head
Stinging words being said
I'm left with bloody stains
I've never been the one to win
I still believe it so...
But you and me
Dancing wild and free
We make a competitive combo
They say to stop, you're gonna drop
You're dancing to the tune of death
Lethal or...

Washed Away
She was a painting
One of vibrant colors
From the deepest blue to the brightest yellow
She was a masterpiece
Until the water came
Until the heavy rain
And suddenly her colors changed
The blues, the greens, the reds,
All of her colors bleeding through
Now every piece of her is seeping
It seems the picture has no meaning
Things will never be the same
Her watercolor world is washing away
One of vibrant colors
From the deepest blue to the brightest yellow
She was a masterpiece
Until the water came
Until the heavy rain
And suddenly her colors changed
The blues, the greens, the reds,
All of her colors bleeding through
Now every piece of her is seeping
It seems the picture has no meaning
Things will never be the same
Her watercolor world is washing away

Reflections
Let me hold a mirror
As you tear yourself apart
As you fight the voice of everyone
As you drown in the societal norm
As you tear yourself apart
As you fight the voice of everyone
As you drown in the societal norm

Her Rose Stained Hands
In the bosom of the mountain calling
A foreign spirit forced to crawling
Women swarm the fire of her hand
Burning brighter under cursed command
She sends the northern deserts rain
She spreads her dress to stake her claim
And with a whisper of her breath
The demons rise to answer death
And all her sisters gather around
They talk to trees and trample the holy ground
Sing your songs to her alone
Bow to her terrestrial throne
For in their circle they make a stance
The witches perform their religious dance

Her Fighter's Light
When the sun waves her goodbye
And the moon awakens the sky
May her eyes remain set on the stars up high
May her scars illuminate the night
So when the smokers and dealers and shadowy figures pass by
They move past the handle of her blades
They are blinded by her fighter's light
And the moon awakens the sky
May her eyes remain set on the stars up high
May her scars illuminate the night
So when the smokers and dealers and shadowy figures pass by
They move past the handle of her blades
They are blinded by her fighter's light
