POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
my ink comes from the heart and sometimes a dark mind
Fractured Mind
Fractured mind, fractured soul
Inside me, outside me
They dig my hole.
Who are these people?
I don't know
Always digging deeper
Into my fragile soul.
Who are you?
They prod and pick
Ever deeper
Until I get sick.
Into the abyss they drag me
I've fought so hard
But with knives of steel they carve me.
Out numbered, outwitted
They know I know
So with a straight jacket
I'm outfitted.
Chaining me training me not to see
Who to tell?
Who would believe? ...

Steel Edged Razor
Looking into my mind
I find a steel edged razor
Lurking there.
Taking it's time cutting
Into me
Slicing into my psyche.
At times talking to me
With it's straight edge
No messing around
Telling the truth as it is.
Manic lady, who panics
When strangers are around
Feels at home alone
Though at times loneliness abounds.
So I write
The razor cuts me to the quick
"Your wasting your time lady".
When everything is said and done
What have you really become? ...

A Real Vampire
A real vampire,
It's not blood he seeks
But your love he eats.
He doesn't come in the dead of night
He walks up to you in broad daylight
Introduces himself so charming.
No clue to you,
It's your defenses
He's disarming.
A real vampire,
Feeds off your soul and energy
Taking and taking never giving.
Not looking like an enemy.
I trust him,
After all he's a friend to me
Until one day you look in the mirror,
It'snot the vampire that's vanished
But you that has disappeared.

Schizophrenia
The agitation, anxiety a combustible thing
All these voices clamoring in my brain.
Seeing coded messages in every word
The t.v people talking to me, I obsess though I know this is absurd.
Flipping off the cameras, i'm sure are planted in my place
Begging and pleading with them to reveal themselves or get out of my space.
To venture in public, a terrifying idea
Wondering which friendly smile is a demon in disguise,
So back to my house I run and hide.
Taking my meds hoping this one will be my magic pill ...

Moon Goddess
I love the night
Moon Goddess
Feeding her child
Lunacy, maniac fantasies
Freeing my mind
Letting me see
All that is hidden from me
Shadows that race with the moon
Doing her bidding
Coming undone at the seams
Loving mothermoon, come console
This child of the night
I can't sleep this eve
With your pull, ebb and tide
I feel your passion
I work for you
Serve you gladly
Bless me this night
Let me lose my loneliness
Boiling in my soul
Where sadness...

Sirens Rose
A beautiful rose
Stood alone in a garden
Her song was sweet but her thorns were poison.
She longed for a being of value
To smell her sweet fragrance
Though when push came to shove,
They all ran from her fierceness
Cowardice men
She could see through.
Spiked, dangerous thorns
Adorn this beautiful rose,
Come to close you will be impaled,
Never touching the beauty
That dwells in her petals
So lovely, so graceful,
All were enamored by her siren's call
Under her spell, they...

Invisible Eyes
Invisible eyes watch me
Disect me, talk to me
With muted mouths
Barely heard above
A whisper.
I don't wish any evil to linger but it does
Like a cloud over my head
Pushing and prodding
Until I connect with them.
Invisible eyes so greedily feasting
Always want a show
Love it when i'm grieving.
Invisible ears always listening
Know when i'm afraid
On the inside trembling.
Invisible tongues
Cut me like...

Razor's Edge
Razor's edge pressed to my throat
A thin line of crimson
Words bleeding onto the page.
Feelings swirled in blood
Making an abstract poem
One born of pain.
Razor slashes deep at my heart
Anger makes it gush
Bleeding out my rage.
Red takes center stage
Filling my days, my nights
With fantasies I can't control.
Part of me so evil
Wanting to let go
I stand tottering on the razor's edge.
Soon will come sweet death
I will swim in the abyss
With my lover, who knows me...

Words bleeding onto the page.
