POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
A girl in her swing
Not much to give
Just a piece of my heart
To use as you wish
Across these miles apart
Light summer breeze
June bugs on a string
I smile knowingly to myself
Only we know these things
Blanket of sparkles
Rise from the grass
Lightning bugs glow
As the evening slips past
The stars are unveiling
As true souls always do
Memories catch my breath
I breathe them in for you
Tree swing in the night
We both drop our guard
Tumble to the ground
How I miss that farmyard
...

Decision
If I had to choose
between the stars and the moon,
I would choose
to be the stars.
As wonderful as the moon can be at times,
It is still just going through phases.
The moon will never stay the same
and it always depends
on something else to make it shine
Because it has no light of its own.
Stars are locked in their constellations,
Never changing.
Always true.
Waiting patiently,
even when they are outshined
by the moon.
Once the phase passes
and the moon appears smaller and smaller - seemingly...

Stormy
The subtle rumble in the distance
The way the air feels different
A feathery tingle of something exciting
Curls its way up my spine
Sending chills to every part of my soul
The taste of excitement on my tongue
The first small pearl of rain
Makes a soft sound as it finds its resting place
A light flickers briefly
Reminding me of wonders that lie ahead
The winds blow harder
The rain is driving and overflowing
The thunder booms in glory
As the crack and whip of lightening
Pleases the eye, yet inspires fear ...

The One
You are the one
Who makes me complete
I am the one
Your soul truly seeks
You are the one
To make life worthwhile
I am the one
Whose memory brings smiles
You are the one
That filled me with pleasure
I am the one
Who brought toys and treasures
You are the one
That created magic between my thighs
I am the one
Who rode hard ‘til you sighed
You are the one
Who fueled my sexual fire
I am the one
That fed your carnal desires
Are we the ones
Still crazy at heart?
Yes. We...

My Pen
Sometimes I feel like a shell
Of the person I use to be
The scattered outline, rough first draft of one who longs to constantly rewrite her ending.
Backspaces, lines, question marks and
So many double-spaced pages
The thin worn out cover of her soul
Is frayed and tattered along the edges.
Each memory becomes a chapter but
As soon as it is written, ink begins to fade
Crumpled pieces of paper with ghosts that echo
"Is there a forever and a day?"
Trapped, drowning in an inkwell I struggle
To make words flow freely...

Shifting Winds
Shifting winds
Sail right through
A vacant hole
Nothing to prove
Light your candle
Get saved by the bell
But grab that flame
It will burn like hell
Looking through glass
Too scared to come in
The past is permanent
No one is immune to sin
Cower in fear
And lick your wounds
The winds shift again
Still nothing to prove
Sail right through
A vacant hole
Nothing to prove
Light your candle
Get saved by the bell
But grab that flame
It will burn like hell
Looking through glass
Too scared to come in
The past is permanent
No one is immune to sin
Cower in fear
And lick your wounds
The winds shift again
Still nothing to prove

Changing of the Season
Transformations will
Connect with nature
Cool and inviting
There is no denying
Autumn's canopy
Of captured harmony
Unique beauty
From Fall's seasonal duty
Brings misty mornings
And carnal yearnings
With harvest plenty
To pleasure the senses
Begin again
And embrace the wind
While brilliant blue skies
Hear golden leaves sigh
As they float to the ground
With barely a sound
A time to renew
My soul for you
And for this very reason
I love the changing of the season...

How
How can you...
Look without seeing?
Hear without listening?
Hurt without violence?
Love in complete silence?
How can we...
Learn without knowing?
Expect to be seen without showing?
Want to be more without growing?
Enjoy a river without it flowing?
How can I...
Love and not hurt you?
Cross over without going through?
Be a friend that's true?
Understand what to do?
I long to have the courage to start anew...

From Me
We have come too far
To rewind the past
I can’t let you go
I was under your spell so fast
I memorized every part of you
Your scent, your touch, your feel
I close my eyes, reach into the night
Your memory I try to steal
To catch it in my heart
And feel it beat within
Every movement, every sensation
Brings you back again
The light in my soul
Still burns for you each night
Even during the light of day
It bleeds with love so bright
What will I do with my flame?
Through time that question was asked
I will...

Soul Searching
I spent all this time
Just hoping to find
Answers to questions
That bleed through my mind
That "what ifs" and "what was"
Can it still be?
Pretending I don't care
Well, that's just not me
I tried to let go
But it was no use
I stumbled over my pride
Didn't know what else to do
A thousand sorrys I could say
Would never be enough
To say what is in my soul
I will never give up
Time has made changes
But I still love the leaves
As they drift in the Fall
Every song, every breeze reminds me
We almost...

Fairy Tale Ending
Time never stopped moving forward
I know you had to leave
The loss left me hurt and broken
But I took the time to grieve
The past will always be there
Like memories in the sand
They rush in, bringing emotions
A timeless ticking clock with no hands
Passion has endless fuel
Flames will never go out
No matter how much water falls
Some things can never be doused
I will always wonder about our future
What all we could have been
Our souls are always connected, and
You will always have a friend
Life is way too short ...

I Tried
I tried to make you love me
Maybe I tried too hard
The more I wanted to be yours
The faster my world fell apart
I guess I was tired of hanging on
The rope to my heart frayed slow
I held on til my hands burned
And then I just let go...
As I spiraled into a life without you
I wonder what could have been
If you had really wanted me
If I had meant more than just a friend
Here one day, gone the next
As I slowly drove away
Somehow in my soul I knew
There was nothing more to say
You never heard my cries again
But...
