POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
my ink comes from the heart and sometimes a dark mind
tempest
I wept and you saw the storm of me
inside the tempest, you rode
my distance thundered
my sadness flash
you captured me there
within my sorrow
within the madness
I was beautiful in my broken time
the winds could howl
you weren't going anywhere
I saw you then
as for the first time
a man of worth who cared
big soulful eyes drank me in
I saw myself there in your gaze
a well of feeling washed over me
as a forlorn lady of pain transformed
in your arms sanctuary
within your...

metaphor
inside my loneliness, I ache sunflowers
sideways smiles always bring the blues
Molotov cocktails blow up in my face
you don't see me truly
gullible sin my downfall when you're near
your words cut deep into my poetry
where I bleed metaphors
so you can't see me anymore
I am a person
broke down into nothingness
do you see the woman
cut word by word
until I'm a little less
than I was before
sideways smiles always bring the blues
Molotov cocktails blow up in my face
you don't see me truly
gullible sin my downfall when you're near
your words cut deep into my poetry
where I bleed metaphors
so you can't see me anymore
I am a person
broke down into nothingness
do you see the woman
cut word by word
until I'm a little less
than I was before

the more information demons
this is legion's region I hear in my mind
it's the more information demons pressing into my psyche
they want to connect with the truth of me
deeper and deeper they press
when they get a lead they pounce
tell us about your mommy issues
we must have more information
relentless and with hunger they pursue
pushing into my darkest thoughts
unveiling the real me
I will not be allowed to look away
repressed memories would be revealed
by their stark bitter light I am uncovered
naked in my sin

vanish
I am fading into the silence
one lost word at a time...
forlorn in the solemn stare
the void glares at me
I retreat down the grey corridor
where I say nothing
days of pain I fear them
they teach me nothing more--
then how to plead
the torment too much
swallowed by its greed
it eats my metaphors
and bleeds my thoughts
I fall in and drown
deep into the nothing
and get lost there
words my salvation
my pride too great
to cry out
I can't find it in me to utter
please...

l'affaire
your arsenic sipped the soul from my veins as a fine bourbon
you sutured my ache with lies
ate from my womb and whispered debauchery there
in my lucid hours, I knew you would leave me
only a menstrual moon light the truth of you
in my happiness, you sorrowed
in my shame, you gloried
a whore's sin my due for playing with the devil
my penance paid while I fellatio darkness
the seed of none my payment
we were going nowhere
with sideways glances you said it all
cheap thrills a quick fix
a mistress of Jack...

covet
hinder not the way
when in haste speaketh
draw nigh unto me child of the dawn
who in slumber I kept warm
awaken to the new day
wherein your sins are no more
break not your childhood vows
purity becomes your name
when in the darkened hour
you hearken to midnight to your shame
keepeth to the path o' sunflower
who in a single moment will transform
returning to innocence in an instant
death will feel my sting
when I rob him the lass he covets
when in haste speaketh
draw nigh unto me child of the dawn
who in slumber I kept warm
awaken to the new day
wherein your sins are no more
break not your childhood vows
purity becomes your name
when in the darkened hour
you hearken to midnight to your shame
keepeth to the path o' sunflower
who in a single moment will transform
returning to innocence in an instant
death will feel my sting
when I rob him the lass he covets

apocalyptic ache
the silence inside me grows until I feel I might scream
anything to wake the dead within me
a fetal coma I feel nothing, I feel everything
it hurts to be this real
inside the darkness of the void
surreal living the catalyst
injecting me with apocalyptic visions
depression peaks then recede
apathy strangles me
I know I'm in deep
no don't touch me I keen
nobody gets in when I'm down
I can't reach you from here
not here...where I dwell
inside the nighttimes of perpetual ache
anything to wake the dead within me
a fetal coma I feel nothing, I feel everything
it hurts to be this real
inside the darkness of the void
surreal living the catalyst
injecting me with apocalyptic visions
depression peaks then recede
apathy strangles me
I know I'm in deep
no don't touch me I keen
nobody gets in when I'm down
I can't reach you from here
not here...where I dwell
inside the nighttimes of perpetual ache

goodbye
your silence echoed through my soul
damning my days
I ache inside the emptiness
the hour of the loneliness had come upon me
shunned from your sight I wept bitter tears
you would see me no more
refused the love I craved
my brokenness became a void
bereft of tears I would not cry
your solemn, stoic walk said it all
you didn't need me
inside the fire of rejection, I burn
your moonshine kisses were for someone else
the brittle dawning of truth hurt bitterly
today I take a lover to fill the hole you left...

delicate
delicate dawn whisper to the day
awaken to the beauty of the morning
the birds chatter stirring my happiness
a sleepy soul stretched and came into the beauty
the tree denizens guard my house true
while I yet lay sleeping
rested I entered the day
a pink sunrise gently ushered me in
little wisps of clouds decorate the skies above
dew drops kiss each blade of green
the world was new again
made pure from the heaviness of the day before
I looked heavenward knowing
the glory lay in nature
you can't deny her...

a journey into the dark
I don't know if you felt me slip away
so deep into the darkness, you couldn't follow
my mind snapped...
I had a complete break from reality
the anxiety level in me build
and I hallucinated devils
I rant at them in writing
scream at them through poetry
I hid here...
I was in hiding...my family would find out
shhh don't tell she's gone crazy
I was straight rotgut
as bare-bones as I could get...vulnerable
I was hearing voices but they were all too real
it was terrifying
the energy in me...
