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.

Chance
We can chalk
our meeting
Up to chance
The things we do
Our little dance
All for the sake
Of a steamy romance
Fueling the fire
Born of desire

The Gifts You Have Given Me
Lost Viking,
I embrace your every word
For within each one i have found
The gifts of acceptance and connection
Your words have given me hope
When I needed it the most
Causing me to be glad I'm alive
What greater blessing could there be
Than that of knowing that not only
Do you get me but you are moved by my own words.
Thank you for making my heart smile so big.

My Love
When I love
It's with my whole heart
Because I'm all in
From the very start
It's with my whole heart
Because I'm all in
From the very start

Never Give Up
Never give up on your dream
No matter how hard it seems
When the moment is yours
You'll feel your heart soar
Things will fall into place
Your dream you'll embrace
So keep singing your song
Success will come along
No matter how hard it seems
When the moment is yours
You'll feel your heart soar
Things will fall into place
Your dream you'll embrace
So keep singing your song
Success will come along

Prissy
I primp.
I admit it.
I'm a girly girl
As soon as
I was old enough
I shaved my legs
Plucked my eyebrows
Stated wearing makeup
Took an overall interest
In my appearance
When I was
Of working age
I was told that
A woman should
Never leave
The house without
Looking absolutely
G o r g e o u s
Some things stick
With a person
For a lifetime
This of course
Was definitely one
Of them and
That was the onset
Of my becoming prissy
I admit it.

Let Me (Make You Mine)
I gotta hand it to you
You're one helluva man
I love how you treat me
You make me feel like a queen
Your touch is warm and tender
It feels like heaven in my heart
I play my feelings down
Because I'm scared you'll put me down
I know it's the man's responsibility to
Let a woman know he's serious
It's getting harder and harder
To hide all these feelings inside
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To have you here by my side
You make me want you so bad
Baby, won't you let me make you mine
You're one helluva man
I love how you treat me
You make me feel like a queen
Your touch is warm and tender
It feels like heaven in my heart
I play my feelings down
Because I'm scared you'll put me down
I know it's the man's responsibility to
Let a woman know he's serious
It's getting harder and harder
To hide all these feelings inside
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To have you here by my side
You make me want you so bad
Baby, won't you let me make you mine

I wish I Would've Paid Attention
You caught me on the rebound
Still nursing a bruised heart
From the Iove before you
But you gave me hope
That love could last erasing
all of the pain from the past
How could I know our love
Would go so wrong
That you'd starve me of
Affection and your attention
Chipping away at my love
Until there was nothing there
I searched my past for
Something I might have done
To make you want to bring
Another woman into the picture
But I just couldn't think of one
Don't know why you had to ...
Still nursing a bruised heart
From the Iove before you
But you gave me hope
That love could last erasing
all of the pain from the past
How could I know our love
Would go so wrong
That you'd starve me of
Affection and your attention
Chipping away at my love
Until there was nothing there
I searched my past for
Something I might have done
To make you want to bring
Another woman into the picture
But I just couldn't think of one
Don't know why you had to ...

The Trenches Of Hell
Too frightened to think or feel
From the force of the anxiety and fear
I face another serious meltdown
The pain is just too overwhelming
The feeling of being in the trenches of hell; I feel like I want to die
Agony too real, way too familiar
In desperation I reach out to God
Crying out for His mercy and compassion
It is my only salvation in my miserable state
He is paving out a path for my escape And a return to my peace and sanity
All praise and glory belong to...
From the force of the anxiety and fear
I face another serious meltdown
The pain is just too overwhelming
The feeling of being in the trenches of hell; I feel like I want to die
Agony too real, way too familiar
In desperation I reach out to God
Crying out for His mercy and compassion
It is my only salvation in my miserable state
He is paving out a path for my escape And a return to my peace and sanity
All praise and glory belong to...

That Little Girl
She's inside of me
Still needing so much
Of another's
Touch and affection
Their reassurance that
I'm not the horrible person
I was told that I was
Crying out because
Of the loss of my innocence
At such a tender age
Still needing so much
Of another's
Touch and affection
Their reassurance that
I'm not the horrible person
I was told that I was
Crying out because
Of the loss of my innocence
At such a tender age

When I Die
I will go without regrets
Because I
Dared to live a life
True to myself
And had the courage
To say how I feel
Pouring my heart out
On paper for all to see
I am right with God
And I'm ready to go home
Whenever the time may be
Because I
Dared to live a life
True to myself
And had the courage
To say how I feel
Pouring my heart out
On paper for all to see
I am right with God
And I'm ready to go home
Whenever the time may be

Intuitive Empath
I am an intuitive empath
Sometimes, I know things
But I don't know how I know them
unexplainable knowledge
Of things that are going to happen
Events that have already occurred
Several times I witnessed events
Happening elsewhere at the
Exact time that they are happening
Of which I certainly
Have not seen with my own eyes
It's always been that way
I find it nothing short of a gift
That I am most grateful for
Sometimes, I know things
But I don't know how I know them
unexplainable knowledge
Of things that are going to happen
Events that have already occurred
Several times I witnessed events
Happening elsewhere at the
Exact time that they are happening
Of which I certainly
Have not seen with my own eyes
It's always been that way
I find it nothing short of a gift
That I am most grateful for

Beautiful Intentions
Pale, pink, paper hearts
Hanging from strings
What romantic thoughts
They seem to bring
Like long slow dances
Whirlwind romances
Passionate kisses in
back seats of cars
Opening windows
and gazing at stars
Coffee over breakfast or
Staying up
Talking late into the night
Hopeless romantics are
What some of us call ourselves
Hanging from strings
What romantic thoughts
They seem to bring
Like long slow dances
Whirlwind romances
Passionate kisses in
back seats of cars
Opening windows
and gazing at stars
Coffee over breakfast or
Staying up
Talking late into the night
Hopeless romantics are
What some of us call ourselves
