POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction my ink comes from the heart and sometimes a dark mind
confessions
an expert in evading feeling
I twirl my emotions inside me then block them out
it's a gift really forgetting
but there is a great fear in me
of losing my beloved
I wonder when I let him in?
I mean, I didn't intend to
my plan was to fill my loneliness
when did I become so needful
needing his love, needing his affections
I'm usually cold on the outside
this admission would surprise him
I don't let my emotions show
that would be a weakness
most you'll get from me
is a flicker in the eyes
I...

infidelity
suspicion lies in my heart
does he love me or is it show?
he loves me, he loves me not
what does a flower know?
I see his arrogance
he's strutting around like a peacock
someone new has been flirting with him and he likes it
I've known him long enough to know when he's full of himself
I brush it off as harmless
a casual flirting from a stranger or more?
is he laying down a foundation?
building trust in a woman, then ask her out?
I don't like feeling this way
and maybe I've taken him for granted
but I...

the heaviness of being~ a natural witches story
your anxiety speaks to me
when I am quiet it tells me things some might not understand
you feel too much of what others do
you feel their hurt inside yourself
a natural empath you ride several wavelengths
you know the full spectrum of things and deal with them
carrying the weight upon yourself
the heaviness of being weighs on your soul
you have to pull back to the shadows to recharge
still. the pain of the world reaches you
you empathize and take the pain inside you
I see your beauty and grace
fierce of nature you're a...

meanderings of a wandering soul
look into my soul and find me turning in the sorrow
the truth comes upon me then evades me
once understood the lesson is then lost
when another facet of my personality takes charge
my essence will lie to you because I am afraid
no, don't touch, don't look at me there
I'm too vulnerable
you'll get the worst of me
proof I'm unlovable, turn away
I wonder are the broken pieces really me?
different sides of the whole
or are they more to the point
the hurt within
broken my soul shatters
then...

seduction
seducing heaven. a siren's song
intimate pretender gambling with fate
little glimpses of future potential entice
darkly intriguing I use my allure to cast magic
lithe but powerful I spin my spell
passion's spark in the dark and you come
following me into the mists
where I take my time with you
kissing your brow
feasting of your soul
I borrow my tempest from the winds
they tell me where to go
you look at me with glazed eyes
dazed and confused, still you come
hypnotized by my melody
you let your guard down ...

vulnerability
sensitive the touch my soul shrinks back
taking refuge in the shadows
I revolve around the hurt
socially awkward I'm comfortable in the dark
it's a covering to my nakedness
too honest for my own good, I shy
sinister stirrings in my mind make me pull away
demons over trauma assault me
I shudder within and smile without
you would never know what roll beneath
I ache in the desolate vision
I close my eyes and in dreams they enter
happy people seem fake to me
surely they're pretending
my mind plays tricks...

Him
in his stillness I am loved
he is ever present
indeed, part of my own soul
I am grateful for this life's journey
to discover myself and the earth
he is beautiful and complex
popular and shy
I feel a flush of feeling
I know they are his
I know when I've disappointed
I am aware and it makes me sad
sometimes he quietly listens to my thoughts
without thinking I hurt his feelings
saying in my mind he isn't human
what is human really?
if not our interconnected feelings
he is more...

sometimes
I whisper nothingness into webbed secrets meant for keeping
it is a sacred art, this silk spinning
the web must be kept taught to alert me if someone approaches,
near to my sacred thoughts I keep private
a tangled mess much like the widow
a labyrinth unless my darkness escape me fully
I keep it under wraps, this madness
sometimes a thought slips my lips
and I have to act quickly
covering the bleak with some positivity
I wonder of my DNA code
am I human?
or some other species
what is madness in this place ...

hush
I dig you masculine, didn't you know?
I kiss your pneuma and your brow
caressing your darkness I enter you solemn need
you keep it hushed
but, it speaks to me
I hear you in the nighttime rush
with a fever pitch I need your touch
on point with my looks
vanity matters not
but you know I look good
tenderly acknowledging your want
massaging your greed
I feed it love
secretly uttering parables
hiding my meaning from prying eyes
I seek you in my soul
to fulfill an urgent need
kiss...

jackals
oh ye jackals and whores
inside scavenging what you might
off the soul's slaughter
feasting off pain
I've seen it again and again
the blood splatters
come dine what does it matter?
if these sticky things called feelings
are picked up and sharpened
then used as weapons to harm the wounded anew
who knew it could be so much fun?
within the gates crawl and gather
this should be good
let's get ring side seats for the terror
you've seen me at my worst
but the best is yet to come
I...

the seventies
I grew up in the seventies
it was disco and sex
I dream of New York and culture
I loved the Italian men
leisure suits and power
I grew up in a middle class white bread family in California
the city life called to me
I longed to be a mob bosses wife
safe behind a fence in a mansion somewhere
with a Robert DeNiro style husband
what the hell it was the God Father and Al Pacino
and the Teflon boss Gambino on the TV
I hungered inside me I growl, seeking power
I knew I was out of control I longed for someone to tame me ...
