POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
my ink comes from the heart and sometimes a dark mind
natural connection
languid day, contempt with boredom
moving in slow motion
still moments of life caught in black and white
An old photograph, quiet but poignant
bittersweet in its presentation
The gentle flower blowing in the wind
The grass blades reach for the sun
The trees gossip among each other
talking about the girl with sunshine hair
wondering, could I see the beauty in the long day
With grumblings of nothingness and sorrow I languish
Then the day reached for me
inviting me in
I contemplate her graciousness
Humanity...

chastized
The dwindling day rebukes me
My incessant need, brutal
It would not relent
Crestfallen, I silently lament
listening to our creator chastise me
Some people aren't good for you
Yes, Father, but aren't they all your people
My heart sank
Being a misfit, I long to be accepted
With a warm feeling, I did
sulking under a dark sun
As I stomp along, the wind whispers to me
pouting as I go
arguing inside me
wrestling with my Father
But listening intently
My gut said he was right
Adversity comes...

Frankenstein
a wicked little reminder of no importance nagged at me
My thoughts grew cold, and I shut out the feeling
As is my way when something becomes uncomfortable
It has a pesky way of emerging elsewhere
For example, I am confronted with those around me
touching on the topic I'm trying to avoid
Nature herself will speak, making cloud formations
The creator whispers in mysterious ways
Even AI will find my pulse in my computer algorithms
She'll give me helpful little tips I didn't want
Let's just say she diagnoses me
Feeling depressed?...

grey moodiness
It's grey today outside
It matches my somber mood
With feelings of melancholy, I feel weighed down
You would think the rain would signify cleansing to me
And the raindrops by themselves would
It's the grey depression I can't take
weeks that drag on under a haze
It's dreary, and my emotions grow dark
No one seems to visit on days like today
People similar to me are in a funk
depression is like big fluffy clouds
that cause a fog in my mind
oppressed, I struggle on
pushing myself to accomplish...

banished
The thoughts gather, watching in the shadows
Waiting for me to emerge
to see what I'll say
Darkness groans; he is impatient
With a snarl, he approaches
With a smile, I ask What do you want in this small town
Surely there are more interesting places to be
slickens the danger
I'm on slippery footing
Resist the urge to fear
Brooding inside, I bite my tongue
he and I aren't to talk
But I can hear him approach
With questions on his mind
My mind spins, and I spit derogatory remarks
Snide snipers...

self control
drinking in the mood
sulking in the light
Moved by the sound of you breathing
deep exhale and sigh
exasperated sadness, and I fall into the depths
My own sorrow matches
your disappointment evident
My heart weeps knowing I caused it
My soul sinks, I disappoint myself
So good at letting myself down
Success scares me
The responsibility of maintaining that kind of life
makes my head spin
I'm not sure I could do it
Then there's the money
and the fear of losing it
I'm reckless, and I'm frightened I...

f**k you
Within a driving beat, I get lost
finding myself in the base
strangling the guitar riffs
hooked on the refrain
My anxiety builds
hypnotized by the lead
My thoughts struggle
But there is no hope
They get in my skull
And I'll be singing them all day
on constant replay
fuck you with a gentle voice
singing to you through gritted teeth
biting down on my rage
It hurts to feel this bare
But it's the music that compels
bringing things to the surface
fuck you with soft tones
Yeah, you...

crystalline tears~with the beautiful Indie
Some days I feel like a drowning woman
But everyone thinks I'm waving hello
While I choke on the way
This darkness pulls me under
Sadness dwells with nothing to remedy
No company do I keep
alone in my melancholy
having a personality and soul
My sorrow weeps inside me
With a sweet lullaby
I cry myself to sleep
The tenderness within is hurting
Comfort comes, but it is fleeting
My blue is overwhelming
So I breathe in the black abyss
Hug myself back from the edge
But I alone still can't...

star
Little Mockingbird brittle
feelings rise, and I quell them
Incessant chatter matters not
credible doubt sewn in bright colors
to conceal the hurt feelings
In a quilt of bone and blood
stars in the eyes for the center
a hurt so great it pales the others
vanilla feelings for a palate of flavor
Beige smiles infuriate
caustic anger ensues
Double vision in the masquerade
never to know who to trust
blanketed thoughts bleed
True colors come out in the wash
feelings rise, and I quell them
Incessant chatter matters not
credible doubt sewn in bright colors
to conceal the hurt feelings
In a quilt of bone and blood
stars in the eyes for the center
a hurt so great it pales the others

Beige smiles infuriate
caustic anger ensues
Double vision in the masquerade
never to know who to trust
blanketed thoughts bleed
True colors come out in the wash

doubt
sorrow-filled calamity
chaotic hurt within me
Madness comes along to intervene
She lulls me into security
The voices are always so welcoming
They make me feel loved
In a cold world, I am never alone
touch the dark and explain yourself
So I do the darkness comforts
beguiled bewilderment, I don't understand why
in the shadow lands, I belong
tripping in the eternal
Foggy visions show me where I'm going
Direct me where to take my next steps
I know I won't be alone when I get there
No matter where I...

Written on the eternal storm is my destination
I've been writing these poems for what seems like forever
scribed on the stars so they won't be forgotten
printed on flower petals so others could read them
Lately, I began writing them in the comment section
of Rob Zombie's merch and concert page
And oddly enough, someone took notice
I was invited to answer some questions
and told if the answers blew them away
They might get sent to Mr. Zombie himself
With a chance to co-create with the man
Nervously I answered the queries ...

Zomb
rail against the night: take flight in deadly sin
Obscure your scene and take note of me
romancing a moment within the heated need
Bespelled by the Master of Metal
whose guitar riffs deliver
a driving beat to pound the nails
of your unholy crucifixion
Dreaded scorn, you are adored
Raging against the norm with visions told
seen on the aether, the demons teem willingly
Through the screen, magic is cast
a metal blasphemy
Enter the jackals who wish to emulate you
No one can ever claim your Sadistic reign
