POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I use poetry to be heard... which is strange as a lot of it sits unread on a shelf. But I write them to express my thoughts and feelings and maybe my imagination to an extent.
Somewhere
Somewhere you wait for me,
Ever loving,ever needing
Only me
I’d call your name if I knew it
I’d call your phone if I had a number
I’d visit you home if I had an address
But I have nothing
but a deep yearning
To find you,
to see you,
to love you
Somewhere out there
I know you’re there
Some where deep inside I know you
I feel you
And long for you
My body burns and aches
Longing for your embrace
And someday I’ll find you,
Someday you’ll come
And we’ll plan a future together ...

Poison
Speak, and poison drips
Red and ghastly from her lips,
Insane and lost in past failures
Wanting to appear wise and mature
But ending up stupid and hurt,
But worst of all the poison has hit the target,
Her eyes they see the pain she’s caused,
And tears fill their depths
As she wishes she had not spoke,
Had not come, had not tried
She is as poisonous as a snake
And so she slithers off to hide
Where she can do no harm
With her poisonous words
And her bitter charm
Red and ghastly from her lips,
Insane and lost in past failures
Wanting to appear wise and mature
But ending up stupid and hurt,
But worst of all the poison has hit the target,
Her eyes they see the pain she’s caused,
And tears fill their depths
As she wishes she had not spoke,
Had not come, had not tried
She is as poisonous as a snake
And so she slithers off to hide
Where she can do no harm
With her poisonous words
And her bitter charm

Insomnia
Woke up too early
so lay right back down
closed my eyes
but soon started to frown
I can't sleep
and I really ought to
don't you hate
insomnia
Laying awake
when everyone is sleeping
is really awful
awfully boring
the tv is krap
the internet's creepy
I really should sleep
but insomnia...
insomnia,
can't you just leave me
haunt someone else
just for a moment
leave it out
I just want to drift
and close my eyes
and find my own paradise
but insomnia
you haunt my nights
and I'm...
