POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I eat, sleep and breathe poetry. My dream was always to see my name in print below something I wrote. I'm happy to say I'm living my dream since I not only got published but became a professional writer.
On Poetry
I was born with my heart on my sleeve
It's very plain to see
If you were to ask what I love the most
It is sweet poetry.

Where I've Done Wrong
Is where I don't want to be
And so, I have had to
Pick myself up by the boot straps
On many occasions
Right the wrong
The best I can
Knowing I am only human
And will fall again
But God willing not
In the same way

A Not So Charmed Life
A gathering of wicked witches
Armed with a multitude of heavy switches
Rose expertly to the occasion
Of the most despicable persuasion
Shall we hide the dead man laying
Near the smoldering calderon
Or toss him into the brew
Calckled the ugly old shrew
Murdered he was at the merciless hands
Of such witches who knew
They had beaten him to a bloody pulp
Like only these heartless witches could do
The man had lived a sad life
Filled with poverty and strife
Now here he lay beaten and breathless
Enclosed in...

For The Love Of Lucille
She is a pretty, pretty girl
Adored by all the neighborhood boys
She's a very tricky child
Living in her own chaotic world
She's got a bag full of tricks
Because it goes like this
She gets what she wants
Letting nothing stand in her way
Just when you think you know
What card she's gonna play
It ends up with the tables
Always turning her way
She'll ask you to
Give her everything you own
You can tell her to go away
She'll tell you she's here to stay ...

Maybe We Can Get It Right (This Time)
You've loved me and you've left me
Way too many times
And when it seems this time
I've gotten you off my mind
You come back for another try
Chorus
What makes you think that we'll
Get it right this time and for once
It won't be a rocky ride
Tell me 'cause I really love you so
Can I get a whisper of the words
I love you and I've missed you
And you won't be leaving me this time
Because each time we try and fail
I feel so blue inside
What makes you think that we'll
Get it right...

Little Things
It's the little things
That move me the most
Like little kitty cats
And flowers sprouting
Up through cement cracks
Oh,the joy that
These things bring
To brighten life it seems
l see God's greatness
The most in the little things
That move me the most
Like little kitty cats
And flowers sprouting
Up through cement cracks
Oh,the joy that
These things bring
To brighten life it seems
l see God's greatness
The most in the little things

Just Go Away (My Husband The Zombie)
It wasn't supposed to turn out this way.
A blissful marriage it once had been
Then he was suddenly dead and laying in a casket in the ground.
Now, he's a Zombie of the most gruesome kind
Who doesn't even recognize my face
The accident happened during our trip to the mountains.
Where he slipped and had fallen off a cliff
dying instantly when his body hit
the rocks at the bottom of the cliff.
Now, here he is trying to bust down my front door
I just can't live this nightmare any more
He got inside before I...

The Magic Of Your Eyes
One heart
One life
Two eyes
As if
By magic
I'm surprised
At what your
Eyes can do
As they're
Gazing
Into mine
One life
Two eyes
As if
By magic
I'm surprised
At what your
Eyes can do
As they're
Gazing
Into mine

Take My Heart
If you want it
It is most certainly
Yours if you
Request it
Take it
But please
Don't break it
That's all I
Ask of
Y o u
My love!
I have to pinch myself
Because it's
So very
Hard for me
To believe
Someone
Like you
Could be
So deeply
In love with
Me
My darling....

Sexual Attraction
It wasn't a torrid love affair
With an ending most lovers would dread
But the kind that's wrapped up in fantasy
The kind that plays out in your head
We never needed words to say how we felt
Our eyes did the talking instead
They were glances that made my heart melt
The kind that sends most lovers to the bed
There was no way I could justify
Your having your way with me
Since I belonged to another man
And I was anything but free
We couldn't deny our sexual attraction
Both of us felt the same way
I've no...
