POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
my ink comes from the heart and sometimes a dark mind
what should have been
none of you know me
& that's my doing
owing to the shame I feel
not of my family
but my choices
I was a mamma at 15
chose to keep my daughter
had to hit the streets
cos my family wasn't having it
I thought I was doing the right thing
keeping my little one with me
she lived in poverty
with a bipolar mom
who couldn't raise her right
due to my mental illness
today I look back
at the right choice ...

whiskey sunsets & vodka sunrises
i drink off your whiskey soul
& i feel light headed
so intoxicated by your masculine energy
you always take me there
to that mellow place
panties ablaze
an escapist
not happy with life
i reach to you
the artist who paints
cobblestone masterpieces
i walk into & get lost
your amber eyes
beckon follow me but only so far
there's a bridge
you never allow me to cross
the one to your heart
instead you touch me with...

forgotten music
take me to the beautiful places
where daisies smile at me
with their colorful dotted faces
singing forgotten songs
that i hum to
no longer knowing the words
my soul aches
something has been lost
or locked up tight
i no longer have the keys
to gain entry into this enchanted garden
& my flowers are shivering
as they are blown about
by sulfuric winds
take me to the beautiful places
my heart hurts ...

mental infidelity
tears of frustration
fail to fall from my eyes
jaded & glazed
i look at the world
from a place of hard gained knowledge
there is no more fascination
that life holds
plenty of distractions yes
that's always there
will i or won't i indulge?
knowing i need be grateful
for the man who loves me
why does my heart pound with desire
when a good looking young man
shows me attention?
i think it's because ...

me exposed
if i let you in
give you a peek behind my facade
i worry that you will lose interest
these days i'm only sexy in my dreams
time has not been kind to me
or rather i haven't been kind to me
years of drug & alcohol use
shows on my face
my soul is better for the experience
pain has a way of creating
the sweetest of wines
a little heartache
some...

half mast
my well has run dry
i keep going to it day after day
bringing up brackish water
with lots of silt
my poetry has failed me
or my emotions have
i fail to feel
so i come off as disconnected
so far from myself
i look down from the ceiling
& stare in wonder at the spectacle i am
trying to make gold
from nothing
it hurts in a real way...

little girl lost & confetti tears
the speckled dawn
cried confetti tears
for the little girl lost
deep inside me
it rained down
& my pain failed to show
in this colorful display
the day outshone my grief
i pouted the skies weren't grey
as i walked lonely
down cobblestone streets
holding close to the pain
the sun tried to shine
& illuminate my hurt
i keep hidden in the shadows
not allowing light
on what is better left in the dark
a neglected child
still desperately seeking
mamma's attention ...

my valhalla
i don't feel you anymore
i've gone away to worship
whiskey sunrises
you entered my Valhalla
& i died little deaths
as you came & went
taking pieces of me
trinkets to amuse yourself with
i was always a plaything
with not enough strength
to get up off my knees
whispered confessions
i uttered in screams
& i sang in your opera of fear
as just one of the chorus
the cute little distraction
from the den of whores
you kept on...

you & heroin dreams
i dreamed of you
we were in a mental hospital
that at times turned into a jail
i was busy trying to apply makeup
which is odd because
i don't wear it anymore
you entered in a drunken state
slurring your words
i said "what's wrong?"
you stated you didn't know
with a wink in your eye
you said "that nurse Connie
was trying to help you figure that out,
they asked if you masturbated enough" ...

a deities note
a deity in the flesh
belonging to no one
i flex & supernovas are born
at war with the tyrant of this realm
who claims to be god of cock
he fucks my black holes
shoots his Sadistic sin inside
he thinks no one sees
i see with eyes
not known to mortal man
he is derelict
& i know where he hides
i stretch over eons of time
in a rage i shake
holding my temper
for fear the release
would be my own unraveling
there is an appointed time
he will...
