POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
my ink comes from the heart and sometimes a dark mind
rise
2/30
sigh to touch the stars in my mortal state
to feel the light caress my soul
entering into a place of hope
my thoughts fill with wonder
at the glory that is beheld
a passage is sometimes opened, and I rise
to greet the angels and the ambassadors of faith
sending salutations to the heavens
in a perpetual state of grace
when my body feels broken and cast aside
my soul lifts off, and in my Father's chambers I reside
recovering from the battering of the world that is
balm to my being is the...

Weep the Flowers
tears flower on my face
blooming so beautifully out of place
a gentle smile beseeching them not to show
but their delicate nature draws attention to my hardened expressions
forlorn they grow wildly without nuture
sweet daisies of faith come from deep within me
A memory is all it takes to reduce me to nothing
babies' breath moves in its spot in the garden, grieving
exhaling the pain and inhaling something tender
Tiny epiphanies show in my eyes
my soul is disconnected from my mind
so when I weep, it is from my sacred heart...

Happy
sadness dwells and I fall
into the depths of self hate
loathing my way of thinking
Will I ever break the chains
Will I ever be comfortable in my own skin
my demons howl, and I shudder
Deep need overcomes me
and it's down to just me alone
and just like dying and being born
I have to face things on my own
somewhere in me my sanity is alert and waiting
but deeply ingrained is the hurt monsters
that make me run to what is familiar
and avoid at all costs the pain
inflicting damage on myself when things...

cherished
Interesting sorrow it brings so much depth
piercing your soul with a look
haunted feelings communicating sadness
to touch the aether and disturb its restlessness
seducing the moment when you awaken to the need of it
When it passes and the melancholy resides, you realize your happiness
a place so deep within needs sorrow
it speaks of things not understood on the conscious level
interpreting your emotions
at a level not scratched by surface conversations
emptiness means you will be filled
Loneliness beckons others closer...

caress
loneliness of soul I'm missing something
wandering spirit return to me
caress the feeling
sensing you are near
covet the art of forgetting
it hurts too much to remember
listless day give me invitation
to share in celebration with your earth-bound children
remorseful shadow cultivating sorrow within me
draw nearer so I will know the immortal
part me from my brothers and sisters
and let me forget what it is to be human
painful understanding I am terribly different
with thoughts of where will I go
cast...

real
hateful day I'm hurting so bad I scream
could skin feel any tighter
claustrophobic in my body
needful ache I want out in the worst way
My soul doesn't fit in this form
It contains me like a prison
Art is escaping
strangulation of soul is capturing me this way
my need is up and out
manifesting in several dopplegangers at once
freedom of expression releasing my pain
hurtful understanding I was abandon here
This visage doesn't suit me
doesn't represent who I am
my soul resists the urge to discard it ...

selfless affliction in the halls of a masochist
breaking my bits of self
You snort my soul like an addiction
Seeing you clearly was something I could never do
dealing with the hurt because it was deserved
after all, I need you more than you did me
colliding with the day and arguing with the night
Chaos rules, and I seem to like it
because I always asked for more
masochistic pleasure in being told no
The cold shoulder only made me bolder
pushing on you
No one would refuse me
if you treat me well, I will become indifferent
needy affliction I serve up my...

gruff
needful covet and I crave like the devil herself
seeking your affection, but you withhold
drinking me dry of what I have to offer
my heart set aside my soul in flight
running for cover when you get mad
affliction so cold I shiver
Still, I come back for more
my passion grows heated
Your love is stone
titillating my ego, you stroke when you want
all to get a masochistic response
and I answer softly to your gruff
Sadistic greed phenes for me
my sex seduces you every time
You hate me for it
...

backpedal
culted silence, knowing when to quiet
never understanding I ramble on
looking perplexed by your empty stare
my soul couldn't make sense of it
so I filled the crater between us with my uncomfortable feelings
discern the loneliness it was an emptiness I was used to
bringing intense feelings to the table
to be dealt nothingness in return
halted and stunted half truths for honesty
Backwash for passion
seediness of knowledge for wisdom
You blaspheme my sacredness
and maligned my vulnerability
It's...

sleepy
corrupted rhythm I can't get out of this thought process
insidious need calls, and I want to get high
scary visions haunt in dreams I do
succumbing to my crave
sleepily crawling through each day
It is with no small effort I obstain
sulking while everyone talks fast
appeasing their demons
while mine starve
Deadly last rites, should I fold
They'll bury me in shame
But what a way to go
The autopsy will read her heart explode
no one would weep after all it was my own damn fault
So I stay clean,...

unapologetically deepunderground was love
the shadows have collected tending their garden grey
it is a sacred place to be outlived
the mists collect and rise
carrying their words with them
singing as they go, farewell
still some hardy dwellers have stayed
to tend to melancholy and sorrow
to see the garden grieve
deep under the ground, they were allowed to be themselves
Surely nowhere else would be as forgiving
with politically correct speech being the norm
They know only unfiltered honesty
real emotions sewn so carefully of grief, joy, and love ...

say something
I'm giving up because little has been said after all these years
to make me hold on
my soul would have followed you anywhere
then one day my value fade
taking it in stride
my star didn't shine anymore
desolate feeling not desired
No one has anything to say to me
I'm not that important
and I shouldn't take it personally
Everyone's cheerleader
from the backgrounds praising you
to be left in the doldrums of nothing was real
my heart believed in you
My apologies if I let you down
My name became unpopular ...
