POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Getting back into it after a long hiatus. I'm not able to sign into my old account so I had to make a new one. Hopefully I can build a new collection, and maybe someday add them to my old account.
Drifting in the Shadows
The weight of indecision,
An anchor on my soul,
I sail through murky waters,
Seeking a guiding role.
In the vast expanse of night,
I cast my eyes above,
Hoping for a constellation,
To reveal my path, my love.
Yet the stars remain silent,
Their secrets tightly sealed,
And I, a wanderer lost,
Yearn for clarity revealed.
So I'll drift upon the tides,
Embrace the ebb and flow,
For perhaps in surrender,
True direction I shall know.
And as dawn breaks the darkness,
I'll wait with bated...
An anchor on my soul,
I sail through murky waters,
Seeking a guiding role.
In the vast expanse of night,
I cast my eyes above,
Hoping for a constellation,
To reveal my path, my love.
Yet the stars remain silent,
Their secrets tightly sealed,
And I, a wanderer lost,
Yearn for clarity revealed.
So I'll drift upon the tides,
Embrace the ebb and flow,
For perhaps in surrender,
True direction I shall know.
And as dawn breaks the darkness,
I'll wait with bated...

Whispers of the Azure Sea
Beneath the meeting of sky and sea,
A realm of wonder, where dreams roam free.
Endless azure, canvas vast and wide,
Whispers of adventure, secrets to confide.
Sailors' tales in salty air do weave,
Islands shrouded in mist, where mermaids cleave.
Glimmering sirens, songs that pierce the heart,
Guiding ships to shores where legends start.
Celestial vessels, masts aglow with stardust's light,
Sail through constellations in the dead of night.
Galaxies unfurl, fate's silken thread,
Comets streak across the heavens, where...
A realm of wonder, where dreams roam free.
Endless azure, canvas vast and wide,
Whispers of adventure, secrets to confide.

Islands shrouded in mist, where mermaids cleave.
Glimmering sirens, songs that pierce the heart,
Guiding ships to shores where legends start.
Celestial vessels, masts aglow with stardust's light,
Sail through constellations in the dead of night.
Galaxies unfurl, fate's silken thread,
Comets streak across the heavens, where...

Echoes of Conformity
In our quest to belong, we mold ourselves,
Yet the mirror reflects our fractured souls.
The crowd chants familiar refrains,
Their voices mere echoes of borrowed tales.
We stitch our masks, thread by thread,
Yearning for acceptance, for a place to dwell.
But the seams strain, revealing the truth:
We wear borrowed skins, ill-fitting and worn.
Each step echoes the footsteps before,
A dance choreographed by unseen hands.
The weight of conformity presses down,
And we wonder if liberation lies beyond.
Yet, in this shared...
Yet the mirror reflects our fractured souls.
The crowd chants familiar refrains,
Their voices mere echoes of borrowed tales.
We stitch our masks, thread by thread,
Yearning for acceptance, for a place to dwell.
But the seams strain, revealing the truth:
We wear borrowed skins, ill-fitting and worn.
Each step echoes the footsteps before,
A dance choreographed by unseen hands.
The weight of conformity presses down,
And we wonder if liberation lies beyond.
Yet, in this shared...

The Embrace of Serenity
At the dawn of bliss, our story took a twist,
Into a raging tempest, my heart couldn't resist.
Once adorned with adventure, our link did thrive,
But as emotions surged, he became the brilliant star in your sight.
Now, friendship is the path we must embrace,
Reviving the link that time can't erase.
Our fleeting fling, a saga in the hazy land,
In future endeavors, let games be muted and subdued.
May my heart find solace, in the hug of peace,
May healing unfold, as harmony sets us free.
Into a raging tempest, my heart couldn't resist.

In future endeavors, let games be muted and subdued.
May my heart find solace, in the hug of peace,
May healing unfold, as harmony sets us free.

A New Desire, A New Tomorrow
I won't depart, even as we drift away,
A steadfast light, in your night, I'll stay.
By your side, whenever you need my part,
But I won't cease living, fueled by my own fire.
Choosing happiness, a new desire,
Leaving sorrow behind, a fresh start I've made.
A steadfast light, in your night, I'll stay.
By your side, whenever you need my part,
But I won't cease living, fueled by my own fire.
Choosing happiness, a new desire,
Leaving sorrow behind, a fresh start I've made.

Poppy
You are the fire, a radiant blaze,
Kindling passion in a thousand ways.
Your touch, electric, sets my heart aglow,
Your voice, a siren's call, it does bestow.
Your smile, a sunbeam that lights my world,
Your lips, like velvet, their secrets unfurled.
Together we burn, a flame untamed,
Desire and longing, forever unnamed.
I offer my all, heart and soul intertwined,
In unity, our spirits forever aligned.
Like blossoming lotuses, we rise above,
A love so pure, a testament to love.
You are my everything, my reason to...

Clavel
In moments fleeting,
Your essence entwines my mind,
A seductive fragrance that ensnares,
Like a sweet perfume, intoxicating and refined.
Softly caressing my every sense,
Over lips and tongue, a fiery dance,
Until you're all I crave, a passionate feast,
And my breath, with desire, is left entranced.
Do thoughts of me ignite a primal fire,
In the depths of night, where passion roams?
When sleep eludes, and the darkness conspires,
To awaken desires that yearn to be known?
Just as I ache and burn, for days long past, ...

Hollow Words
Our love was like a crystal vase,
But it fell and broke, beyond our grace.
I roam the dark, your smile a ghost,
No comfort found, no hope, no host.
A wrong I did, a fatal blow,
Guilt now haunts me, a bitter foe.
We had it all, a paradise,
Now I'm trapped, in ice, in vice.
The cause eludes me, I don't know why,
Solitude consumes, I want to cry.
I crave forgiveness, from this endless woe,
But words are hollow, when faith is low.
But it fell and broke, beyond our grace.
I roam the dark, your smile a ghost,
No comfort found, no hope, no host.
A wrong I did, a fatal blow,
Guilt now haunts me, a bitter foe.
We had it all, a paradise,
Now I'm trapped, in ice, in vice.
The cause eludes me, I don't know why,
Solitude consumes, I want to cry.
I crave forgiveness, from this endless woe,
But words are hollow, when faith is low.

Loneliness
Loneliness is a shadow
That follows me everywhere
A silent companion
That no one else can see
Loneliness is a prison
That locks me in a cell
A cold and dark place
That no one else can enter
Loneliness is a wound
That bleeds inside my heart
A painful reminder
That no one else can heal
Loneliness is a curse
That I cannot escape
A bitter fate
That no one else can change
That follows me everywhere
A silent companion
That no one else can see
Loneliness is a prison
That locks me in a cell
A cold and dark place
That no one else can enter
Loneliness is a wound
That bleeds inside my heart
A painful reminder
That no one else can heal
Loneliness is a curse
That I cannot escape
A bitter fate
That no one else can change

False Listener
You pierced my heart with a knife,
Unleashing deceit and pain,
Our vows, shattered in this strife,
Leaving me in sorrow's domain.
You failed to see my inner flame,
The essence of my true being,
But now I rise, no longer tame,
Breaking free from your grip, freeing.
I bid farewell with strength and fortitude,
You don't merit my forgiveness,
Your attempts to confine and delude,
Won't trap me in a life of darkness.

Ode to the Crescent City
In the nocturnal embrace, a saxophone sighs,
Blues and soul entwined, a melody that defies.
A symphony of yearning, both sorrow and bliss,
Love, loss, and hope interwoven in its abyss.
Indulge in a banquet, where heart and palate unite,
Flavors, both familiar and new, ignite.
A dance of spices and sweetness, a culinary delight,
Where artistry and taste harmonize, taking flight.
Through bustling streets, a vibrant parade unfolds,
Life's tapestry interwoven with stories untold.
Saints and sinners intertwine, a jubilant spree, ...

Twilight's Embrace: A Dance of Desire
In twilight's sultry grasp, a feverish flame ignites,
A love that shimmers, arousing in passionate heights.
Our fire rages, an inferno of lust,
Succumbing to desire, anticipation an intoxicating thrust.
Together, we plunge into a realm of bliss, like bodies in the ocean,
A magnetic force pulling, sealed with a heated motion.
With your grace, you sway my heart, a seductive trance,
Embarking on a journey, a dance of sensuous advance.
In our embrace, we entwine, a symphony of sizzling heat,
Minds synchronized, reaching heights where senses...
