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.
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

The Ghost Of Ethel Allen
She was a beautiful nineteen year old woman brutally murdered then mutilated , her body parts strewn along side of the Indian River in Brevard County, Florida in the 1930's. Her ghost is said to haunt what was then known as Ashley's Tavern in Rockledge, Florida where she reportedly visited often in life.
I vaguely remembered rumors of the now named, Ashley's Restaurant and Bar being haunted. One day, I did some research on the place and read some very intriguing stories of her antics in the restaurant. I remember being really giddy when my ex-husband and I decided to dine...

If I Were A Mime
I'd be free of any social anxiety
I wouldn't have to worry much about anything
How I looked or how I seem
Nor would I have to explain anything
Like why am I so quiet and enjoy being alone
If I were a mime I'd have peace all the time
All of my expressions would be what you'd see
Subject to interpretation at the very least
I wouldn't have to live a life of doubt
Instead, people can keep guessing what I'm all about

Ghost In The Room
I was in bed just about to fall asleep when I felt a chill come over the room. I sensed a presence lurking about. I froze and remained still. Somehow, I knew it was the ghost of the previous resident.I threw the blankets over my head because I did not want to see this dead woman whom I had never met. I had heard the young woman hung herself from the light fixture and was found with her body dangling over the bed.
A state of calmness came over me as I remembered that she had lived a troubled life. I wanted to somehow comfort her. I told her she was welcome here and she could stay...

On The Line
I put my heart and soul on the line
Not just once but everytime
I tried my best to live my life
The way God meant for me to do
But life picked me up, tossed me around
Left me facedown on the ground
Maybe, there's a way to die
Another place, another time
Where shallow people hide their face
Crumbling down in mere disgrace
And evil can't be found anywhere
Where people have some time to spare
I've tossed and turned then still got burned
By those who swore they really cared
Left to wonder what I've...

Purple Persuasion
There is a place and time
Where purple meets purple
And mountains meet sky
Two lovers holding fast
To their dream love will last
Until the end of time
Where purple meets purple
And mountains meet sky
Two lovers holding fast
To their dream love will last
Until the end of time

These Lips
These lips are well equipped
To be there for your every kiss
Come rain, shine or anytime
You find yours are .lonely for mine
When your lips are touching mine
I get overcome with desire
Besides the way my body aches
Your lips do set my soul on fire
To be there for your every kiss
Come rain, shine or anytime
You find yours are .lonely for mine
When your lips are touching mine
I get overcome with desire
Besides the way my body aches
Your lips do set my soul on fire

Into The Ocean
Giddy with anticipation
We head out into the ocean
Swim until the water is
Shoulder length so no one
Can tell what we're about to do
Never having made love
in the ocean before
I am so excited to know
what it feels like
We embrace then I feel
One of his hands move
Quickly over the crotch
Of my bikini bottoms
He pulls them off
My body is at his command
He takes me then back and forth
Until we both are satisfied
We head out into the ocean
Swim until the water is
Shoulder length so no one
Can tell what we're about to do
Never having made love
in the ocean before
I am so excited to know
what it feels like
We embrace then I feel
One of his hands move
Quickly over the crotch
Of my bikini bottoms
He pulls them off
My body is at his command
He takes me then back and forth
Until we both are satisfied

A Lady In Mourning
All the townspeople were fraught with fear
Believing Lady Prescott's ghost was real
In life, the woman had been so revered
For her rare beauty and sexual appeal
No one could've imagained her life
Would come to an end at the hand
Of the shiftless lover that she had had
A sexual sadist of the cruelest kind
Often times, she has been reportedly seen
Standing in front of the old chapel in the red gown
She was wearing when she was gunned down
Inside of which her body had been found

Often times, she has been reportedly seen
Standing in front of the old chapel in the red gown

Pierce
Like a knife through
The center of an apple
You have pierced
The very core
Of this heart you swore
To cherish and hold
Tell me if you will
Why was your thrust
So devastatingly bold?
The center of an apple
You have pierced

Of this heart you swore
To cherish and hold
Tell me if you will
Why was your thrust

If I Were Queen
All of the women
In all of the world
Surely, must be the
Queen of something
Of which she is deserving
I, myself, could never
Be presumptuous enough
To say what exactly
It is I excel at
So won't you please indulge me
In all of the world
Surely, must be the
Queen of something
Of which she is deserving
I, myself, could never
Be presumptuous enough
To say what exactly
It is I excel at
So won't you please indulge me
