POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction I eat, sleep and breathe poetry. Yes, I do indeed, start my day believing that there must be a poem in here somewhere.

No Return
There's no point
in turning back now
It's over
We're through
You broke
All of those promises
You swore were good
I don't understand
Your kind of love
It isn't really love
At least not the kind
That I could ever trust
Why can't you
Just let things be?

Nothing To Write About
There's nothing to write about
Except for everything
Always something there
Pressing on my mind
Needing expression
There's nothing to write about
Today or any day
For that matter
That doesn't make it's way
To the forefront
Of this dawning day
In gratitude I lay bare
All that is weighing
On this blissful brain
Except for everything
Always something there
Pressing on my mind
Needing expression
There's nothing to write about
Today or any day
For that matter
That doesn't make it's way
To the forefront
Of this dawning day
In gratitude I lay bare
All that is weighing
On this blissful brain

Don't Hesitate
Don't hesitate
Never wait
For the right time
To say the right words
To the woman
Of your wants
Your needs
Her hot desires
Are the same
As yours
Her fantasies
Dressed up
In romantic garb
Are not so different
When seen for
What they are
So don't be late
Perhaps, your fate awaits
Never wait
For the right time
To say the right words
To the woman
Of your wants
Your needs
Her hot desires
Are the same
As yours
Her fantasies
Dressed up
In romantic garb
Are not so different
When seen for
What they are
So don't be late
Perhaps, your fate awaits

Writing Down The Words
Writing down the words
Somehow seems to make it real
The feel of your body
Close to mine
Your loving hands
Freely moving downward
Towards my thighs
Your eager lips
Kissing me again and again
Oh how our desire
Grows and grows
Until we must meet again
Your body on top of mine
Your breath blowing
On my cheek
Let us partake of each other
The way we once did
Even though I'm only
Writing down the words
Somehow seems to make it real
The feel of your body
Close to mine
Your loving hands
Freely moving downward
Towards my thighs
Your eager lips
Kissing me again and again
Oh how our desire
Grows and grows
Until we must meet again
Your body on top of mine
Your breath blowing
On my cheek
Let us partake of each other
The way we once did
Even though I'm only
Writing down the words

Just Me
Dodged a bullet this time
Wrecked a rhyme
I'm doing time
But it's just in my mind
Thought I might find
A man who was kind
But once again
I was so blind
Looks like I'm better off
All by myself
I'm being me
So just get lost
Wrecked a rhyme
I'm doing time
But it's just in my mind
Thought I might find
A man who was kind
But once again
I was so blind
Looks like I'm better off
All by myself
I'm being me
So just get lost

Mr. Wrong
I have never seen anything like
the way you changed
from being Mr. Right
to Mr. Wrong overnight
I let a lot slide
to keep the peace
avoid a lot of unnecessary pain
But this one thing
I admit is and always
will be my biggest complaint
You left my lips so lonesome
Yes...
You should have kissed me more
the way you changed
from being Mr. Right
to Mr. Wrong overnight
I let a lot slide
to keep the peace
avoid a lot of unnecessary pain
But this one thing
I admit is and always
will be my biggest complaint
You left my lips so lonesome
Yes...
You should have kissed me more

Charades (Co-write with Adagio)
In this charade of life
saving the last breath
for fools
in their capsule of death
with no metamorphosis
to fall back on
for a fool lives in a shell
of their home-made hell
feverishly fretting
lying in suspicious watchfulness
for an ounce of kindness
to be found in their version
of an unkind world
saving the last breath
for fools
in their capsule of death
with no metamorphosis
to fall back on
for a fool lives in a shell
of their home-made hell
feverishly fretting
lying in suspicious watchfulness
for an ounce of kindness
to be found in their version
of an unkind world

Untraceable
My heart was carried along
By a cold, swift current
Merciless at it's worst
I carved it into the gritty sand
Not far from the shore
Where one good wave
Could cover it
And easily turn it into something
Quite forgettable
Not to mention untraceable
By a cold, swift current
Merciless at it's worst
I carved it into the gritty sand
Not far from the shore
Where one good wave
Could cover it
And easily turn it into something
Quite forgettable
Not to mention untraceable

Touched By You
Touched by you
in so many ways
Both inside and out
I feel a sort
Of ecstasy
Fears plus tears
We have
Paid the steep price
for our passion
Let us rest
In the calm
Of the dawn
in so many ways
Both inside and out
I feel a sort
Of ecstasy
Fears plus tears
We have
Paid the steep price
for our passion
Let us rest
In the calm
Of the dawn

The Pain Of Love
I know only too well
How the pain
Of love stings
The overwhelming sadness
That accompanies
The end of
Yet another failed relationship
How is it
That there seems
No end to
The anguish
And the strain it
Always puts on the heart
Of one more
hopeless attempt
At finding genuine love
How the pain
Of love stings
The overwhelming sadness
That accompanies
The end of
Yet another failed relationship
How is it
That there seems
No end to
The anguish
And the strain it
Always puts on the heart
Of one more
hopeless attempt
At finding genuine love

Proud To Be A Woman
You can write to me
Using sweet words
Dear ones that honor me
Or ones that thrill me
Or you could write
About me
If you wish
Inspiring lines
Perhaps ones that rhyme
You can lift me up
Spread good words
Around and round
All these things
You could say aloud
But just knowing
How far this
Woman has come
Is enough for me
To say I'm proud.

Here Comes Spring
Last trace of winter
Leaving a chill in the air
Spring will soon be here

Spring will soon be here
