POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
"I throw wishes into the night and wait for the stars to catch them."
The Prison Beneath the Skin
I pity the spiders forced to fight,
torn from their webs, thrown into battles
they never chose, their fragile legs grasping at life
while other hands decide their own fate.
I was never fond of them, and I never will be,
but fear does not blind me to their suffering.
They do not seek harm, only survival,
yet they are crushed beneath thoughtless hands.
But deeper still is the sorrow I feel
for birds who have never touched the sky.
Trapped behind cold metal bars,
they sing songs of longing, not knowing why. ...

Certain Exile
No one truly knows the weight of certainty,
The kind that whispers you don’t belong anywhere.
Not just the ache of feeling out of place,
But the cold, sharp truth of knowing it.
Familiar faces do not bring comfort,
Only the reminder that you are somewhere you do not fit.
The streets you grew up walking feel like strangers.
Each turn offers nothing but emptiness,
A longing for something you cannot name,
Something you are certain does not exist.
It is not just voices that drift past,
They are languages you...
The kind that whispers you don’t belong anywhere.
Not just the ache of feeling out of place,
But the cold, sharp truth of knowing it.
Familiar faces do not bring comfort,
Only the reminder that you are somewhere you do not fit.
The streets you grew up walking feel like strangers.
Each turn offers nothing but emptiness,
A longing for something you cannot name,
Something you are certain does not exist.
It is not just voices that drift past,
They are languages you...

Do you think I've forgotten?
I still think about you, more often than I'd like to admit.
Your presence clings to my thoughts,
even when I try to push you away,
you always find a way to come back.
I see you everywhere I go—
in places we once shared,
in strangers passing by with familiar gestures,
as if they carry pieces of you with them.
Your voice, soft and distant,
echoes in the crowd like a fading memory,
yet loud enough to stir something inside me.
Visions of your face never truly...

My dearest, John.
You came into my life like a whisper on the breeze,
Softly and gently, as if to put me at ease.
It was never the grand gestures or the sudden surprise,
That drew me towards you, with that spark in your eyes.
You moved like a child in the dead of the night,
Unseen and unheard, until you were in my sight.
And just like that youngster, who snuck to the kitchen for cake,
You came into my life with a sweetness hard to shake.
I never liked the boldness of romance, and its bravado display,
The sudden flowers, or the grand entrances that come...

you.
I cry when I fall
And my heart breaks a little
It could be the weight of your words,
The sound of your voice,
So pleasant to hear
But you're so far away.
Who can foretell the future?
If the world crumbles today, it'd be an honor
For as long as you'll stay
To you will I only give my heart away
And my heart breaks a little

the one where she tried at midnight
12 am, your voice quiets my trying heart.
I took my stuff out while you tune in on the other line.
Quietness, simply the hustling thump of my heart.
Your murmur causes me problems triple times.
Do our thoughts aline?
I still remember you in the back of my mind.
Do you want me back as much I do?
Let me know, so I could find my way back to you.

oh, erro
Nobody could ever offer me
with the love you've once given
Still, I had to set you free
As if you were mine to surrender
You remind me of the cloth I borrowed from a friend.
That I purposefully did not want to return.
I rip the cloth into pieces.
It felt terrible to own it.
Then I gradually sewed it up.
Oh, it was never the same as it was.

the breaking
It hurts that I can only love you unconditionally
Something powerful separates my mind and my heart
A wall that has stood tall even before we met
We're both convinced of what we've got
Can love endure when all I want is a piece of you that I can't have?
I guess I'll never find out.

Not a love story
The magic of Christmas is always a mystery to me.
Do we get our wishes?
Or do they just get trapped and have to wait in line with everyone else's?
But there is one thing I wish I could do. To build a sacred bridge that connects my heart to you.

Untold love
I suppose I'm a little drunk,
Because I'm pretty into you tonight
This bourboun built the courage in my wounded flesh
Wanting to touch you and kiss you under the moonlit night
Do you feel cold?
I feel numb
The distance between us
has made my lips parched
Perhaps you could speak up...
Please lend me a helping hand...
And wrap your arms around me with the warmth of your love
Because I'm pretty into you tonight
This bourboun built the courage in my wounded flesh
Wanting to touch you and kiss you under the moonlit night
Do you feel cold?
I feel numb
The distance between us
has made my lips parched
Perhaps you could speak up...
Please lend me a helping hand...
And wrap your arms around me with the warmth of your love

Tempestade
The seething tempest died down.
The projectiles that had navigated the distance were cleared away by its waves.
The uproar of the consistent breeze has discovered its equilibrium.
Regardless, when he moves toward her once more,
The degree of earnestness rises.
From then again, the tempest wrecks the suppleness.

She who wanders
The blossoms started to droop
as she cruised by.
The coldness within her
has made everything shudder.
Downtown, she strolled gradually, wearing the sublime, red party dress the lad had given her.
With the golden daisy which had gotten along the edge of her shimmering hair, loaded with sparkles which had bit by bit tumbled to her eyes,
hurting them, making them tear up.
The daisy didn't shrivel like the others that had never stayed to lament with her.
They say she's cold.
As cold as the primary drop of snow
until its coldest pinnacle, ...
