POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction I alternate between silly rhymes about mundane things, and all the heavy stuff in my head that I can't say out loud. I'd like to say I share my writing to enrich others' lives..but honestly? I'm mostly just spilling the junk out of my head before it pops.

Take 2
I can play the whore
Take your thrusts to ease your need
Victory is yours
Take your thrusts to ease your need
Victory is yours

I am just a hole
Something warm to jerk you off

Mojo Regained
You have no power here
Only what I give you
So I don’t
I’ve got my ruby boots
You can shrivel up now
Off with you
Those memories are nice
Leave them where they should be
In the past
I’ve got some shit to do
No time left for crying
Here we go
Only what I give you
So I don’t
I’ve got my ruby boots
You can shrivel up now
Off with you
Those memories are nice
Leave them where they should be
In the past
I’ve got some shit to do
No time left for crying
Here we go

Old Enough
Old enough to know better
you were
Fighting your own demons
a fear you couldn’t shake
so you spread it out, thinner
Old enough to know better
I wasn’t
Always littlest, always last
striving to be seen as more
any attention was a win
Old enough to know better
now I am
It was not my fault
that you planted fear and shame
I share your demons now
you were
Fighting your own demons
a fear you couldn’t shake
so you spread it out, thinner
Old enough to know better
I wasn’t
Always littlest, always last
striving to be seen as more
any attention was a win
Old enough to know better
now I am
It was not my fault
that you planted fear and shame
I share your demons now

Night Owl
this is my time
dark, all is still
all asleep
but not me
I’m busy approaching the heart of a mystery
a secret force
the face of truth
senses heightened
but not the usual ones
something within me bleeds outside the lines
reaching into the dark
and inviting it in
time slows
and the riddle becomes so tangible
I could almost unravel it by hand
if I could only grasp its tail
I know it’s right there
just inside the dark
so close, I reach
pulse quickens
nostrils flare
pupils widen ...

The thing about smouldering
Its warmth is addictive -
the hint that perhaps
with a stir and a stoke
and a soft sigh of breath
it could flare to new life
blazing passion-brief heat
But
it demands tears for kindling
a beating heart for fuel
and will burn through your soul
fast as oxygen
One can also
choose to leave it
Lay the poker down
and refuse to feed it
Hold tight to the memory
of its heat and light
But welcome the relief
of finally
letting it
fade ...

Blocked
Awake again.
Body refusing to rest –
twitchy, exhausted but uncomfortable.
Mind joins the party – why not?
Words and ideas start tumbling,
like those balls in the big bingo drum -
turn, turn… let’s see what pops out?
Worthless phrases, no hint of beauty or meaning.
Occasional gems taunting, mocking me,
but never enough to hang a poem on.
Incoherent babble, wasting my time.
I’m out of bed for this??
A hazy sense of something hovers,
Annoying like a fly around my head
refusing to land where I can smack it. ...

Self control
Woke up to snow in April
I've only had one coffee
And you, the control-freak
Tell me I'm irresponsible
Because I'm not like you
These are days when I
Keep a straight face
Wait for the house to empty
Then find peculiar joy
In Scandinavian death metal
I've only had one coffee
And you, the control-freak
Tell me I'm irresponsible
Because I'm not like you
These are days when I
Keep a straight face
Wait for the house to empty
Then find peculiar joy
In Scandinavian death metal

DARK POEM

Gray Monday
The air oppressive
heavy on my chest
Pressing me to the couch
like a clumsy boyfriend
Neurons lethargic
Not enough caffeine
or urgency to resist
This won’t kill me
so why struggle
Apathy reigns
as drops against the window
throb inside my head
Close eyes to focus
on the next viscous breath
Some days to keep breathing
is all the fight I can summon.

Heart Rain
It always takes me by surprise
Just like a new emotion
Rising up in oil-black bubbles
Or descending as a heavy cloud
Raining on my head like a tragedy
I try to evaporate it
With sunshiney thoughts and songs
Walking in the open wind
But the one thing it demands
Is to talk like lovers do
Alone with my soul I wait
For your ocean to dive into
Kisses that feel like memories
And unity of emotion
Talk to me; here it comes again
Just like a new emotion
Rising up in oil-black bubbles
Or descending as a heavy cloud
Raining on my head like a tragedy
I try to evaporate it
With sunshiney thoughts and songs
Walking in the open wind
But the one thing it demands
Is to talk like lovers do
Alone with my soul I wait
For your ocean to dive into
Kisses that feel like memories
And unity of emotion
Talk to me; here it comes again
