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 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
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

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
The very core
Of this heart you swore
To cherish and hold
Tell me if you will
Why was your thrust
So devastatingly bold?

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

Digging (My Own Grave)
Subconsciously,
I'm sure this feeling
Of falling in love again
Will not last long
In the blink of an eye
I will be holding my breath
And feeling like
I'm digging my own grave
It happens every time
Without fail
I'm sure this feeling
Of falling in love again
Will not last long
In the blink of an eye
I will be holding my breath
And feeling like
I'm digging my own grave
It happens every time
Without fail

Beautiful Uniqueness
I am a strange creature
Of the humanly persuasion
Set apart by only
My beautiful uniqueness
I bow before no one
Responsible for my actions
And mine alone
The universe exists for me
But doesn't revolve around me
I am of little importance
Except for what
I can do for others
That is my purpose
And that alone
For my birth
In truth, I am nothing more
Than a tiny fly speck
On the aamazing face
Of this thing called earth
Of the humanly persuasion
Set apart by only
My beautiful uniqueness
I bow before no one
Responsible for my actions
And mine alone
The universe exists for me
But doesn't revolve around me
I am of little importance
Except for what
I can do for others
That is my purpose
And that alone
For my birth
In truth, I am nothing more
Than a tiny fly speck
On the aamazing face
Of this thing called earth

My Home
There's a lovely place I go
Where life is joyful
Devoid of pain and sorrow
Where anything is possible
And life is never dull
This happy place I go
Is deep within my
Own imagination
Where inspiration beckons me
Brimming with creativity
I call this place my home
Where life is joyful
Devoid of pain and sorrow
Where anything is possible
And life is never dull
This happy place I go
Is deep within my
Own imagination
Where inspiration beckons me
Brimming with creativity
I call this place my home

Determination
Life is hard
A constant struggle
For some of us
Who are merely
Attempting to survive
Searching for a way
To make sense out of
The world around us
For some of us
Nothing ever
Comes easily
Determination
Spurs me onward
When nothing else will
.
