POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I've survived a great deal. Instead of falling into a puddle of self pity and tears, I've taken the negative and turned it into positive awareness to help others through their time of need..
WHY THEY ASK
Why did you marry him
Why did you keep taking him back
Why did you let him have control
Why did you stay
Why did you take the abuse
Why did you allow him to torture your soul
Why didn't you fight back
Why didn't you take control
Why didn't you just leave
Why didn't you see through the lies
Why didn't you ever call me
Simple questions asked by many who have never
experienced abuse, and for us SURVIVOR'S
with incredible shame, guilt and
embarrassment the reply is often the same..
I don't know,

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE
The most beautiful people have been hurt
have been beaten, controlled and stripped
they've known emptiness, struggle and defeat
the most beautiful people have known loss and trauma
sad and lonely fighting but have lost their will to compete
Just as broken bones can mend
So too can a beautiful broken mind
depression is like wandering around in a
world full of love, though you cannot see
for you are temporarily blind
Please remember that healing takes time
even the darkest nights will end and the sun
will eventually rise

HE LOVES HER
He towers her strong and masculine
he gazes upon her with hazel eyes
flashing a warm cheeky grin
he caresses the inside of her thighs
He is the silent type
he exudes sexual dominance
loud with his intentions
he commands her with his presence
He gently brushes against her neck
he finds her erogenous zone, a delicate peck
embracing her in a timely fashion
he seduces, engulfing her with ravenous passion
he gazes upon her with hazel eyes
flashing a warm cheeky grin
he caresses the inside of her thighs
He is the silent type
he exudes sexual dominance
loud with his intentions
he commands her with his presence
He gently brushes against her neck
he finds her erogenous zone, a delicate peck
embracing her in a timely fashion
he seduces, engulfing her with ravenous passion

TEMPTRESS
She seduces my mind with her verse
she caresses my soul when she speaks
I long to feel her damp soft purse
she mesmerizes me, pert rounded cheeks
She is aware of her power
she works her magick like a charm
Commanding attention with natural beauty
She is a temptress, her bewitching allure
She enthralls me twirling her dark hair
she undresses me with her enchanting stare
captivating me with large hypnotizing eyes
she invites me slightly parting her thighs
she caresses my soul when she speaks
I long to feel her damp soft purse
she mesmerizes me, pert rounded cheeks
She is aware of her power
she works her magick like a charm
Commanding attention with natural beauty
She is a temptress, her bewitching allure
She enthralls me twirling her dark hair
she undresses me with her enchanting stare
captivating me with large hypnotizing eyes
she invites me slightly parting her thighs

CAPTIVE
He is the owner he has control
he keeps her hidden out of sight
locked away it is depleting her soul
he chains her with all his might
He is broken from his past
he was burnt too many times
another lover who strayed too far
he cannot see his many flaws
He observes others admiring his queen
he fills with jealousy and treats her mean
Instead of appreciating what he possesses
he constantly ridicules her choice of dresses
he keeps her hidden out of sight
locked away it is depleting her soul
he chains her with all his might
He is broken from his past
he was burnt too many times
another lover who strayed too far
he cannot see his many flaws
He observes others admiring his queen
he fills with jealousy and treats her mean
Instead of appreciating what he possesses
he constantly ridicules her choice of dresses

TIME TO REMEMBER
When you have lost everything
with nothing left to lose
in your darkest hours, depths of your despair
Rock bottom- depression, shame, hate
fear, self loathing and blame
your soul stripped naked - bare
this is when you realise, there is a higher power
this is when you become truly aware
Awakening- waking up of consciousness
the re-remembering of the divine self
it's time to start loving, caring and fighting
for your inner balance and health
We are now waking up to our true nature
our divine life purpose our soul...

WARRIOR'S CREED
you think you can hurt me with your words
you think you can match my silence
you can't hurt me, I am a warrior
words spoken in ignorance
I survived decades of violence
a higher understanding and
unconditional love protects me
when I walk away your life dark and empty
only then will you see
I gave my all, my everything
engulfed by your jealous envy, you lost me
you can't hurt me, I am a warrior
my walls are high
I'm bored of this dance
unable to recognise a diamond when
you've only ever known a rock
I walk, I am a warrior
I am...

BROKEN PRAYERS
Her wings are broken I don't know why
she turned to drugs
dear lord please help this child of mine
I'm all alone and I don't know what to do
how can I win this fight
Please someone help me, I beg of you
I didn't know; how could I be so blind
I am ashamed what can I do
she hid it well, my angel in her downward spiral
of addiction her secret world of hell
where did I go wrong
My child is an addict, my heart is broken
just like her wings
Dear Lord, please help me to understand such things
I raised her with love...

CIRCUS aka SOCIETY
Welcome to the Circus AKA Society
there are three rings to fit here
the rich and famous
the working class and
the dregs of poverty,
The rich and famous live without fear or worry
the working class with tunnel vision and
the rest of us animals survive on scraps
from society under constant supervision
The clown's are the masters leading the way
they tell us what to think, see, and feel
robbing the poor taxpayers, regardless
Of what we do or say
Dressed in their expensive suits
flying here and there
blinded to reality ...

Wise words spoken
Venom shoots right off my tongue
spraying bullets as words are slung
Therefore I don't have a gun
I seriously don't need one
If you haven't anything nice to say
best to smile, nod, and walk away
Words are but letters joined to form one
but once said can never be undone
Kind words come from the strong and smart
Nasty things said in anger pierce straight through the heart
Encouraging words will teach others, we need not a world
of fighters, but rather of lovers
I've been guilty of this sin indeed as I've shouted...

MIND BODY SPIRIT TRUTH & UNITY...
Good morning Angels have you awoken thee
everywhere I look are the numbers 333
Is it true, Angels message through numerology
as I ask this question,
goosebumps appear on my entire body
yes I believe they are communicating with me
My birthdate when calculated equals 33 and the
holy bible states Jesus' number is 3. They say that,
Ascended masters and great spiritual leaders are near
It is said they here to guide, show me
here to assist and help me serve my life purpose
and soul mission. As I...

THE FORK IN THE ROAD
(inspired by M.L.B)
As I stand at the fork in the road
broken down,
on the outskirts of town
the path I take is mine to own
an Addict, at rock bottom
reduced to skin and bone
the road to recovery is in clear view
do I take it now..
or stay and get high on meth with you
The long road ahead is my only choice
echoes from within,
my soul's anxious voice.
Recovery I choose, God help me now
as I've taken this life saving vow
please say a prayer
for that will show me unconditional love
and I'll know that you care ....
