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.

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
.

Glitz
Somewhere, beyond the glitz
Of romantic bliss
Lies a true love
Men do insist
That truly does exist
But only for those
Willing to take a risk
That in the end
Only pain exists
Of romantic bliss
Lies a true love
Men do insist
That truly does exist
But only for those
Willing to take a risk
That in the end
Only pain exists

My Birthday Poem
One year ends
And a new one begins
Casting it's hopes
Into the winds
Older and perhaps
A little bit wiser
Dreaming of possessing
All of my desires
And a new one begins
Casting it's hopes
Into the winds
Older and perhaps
A little bit wiser
Dreaming of possessing
All of my desires

Deaf In The Water
To know what I was made for
I'm not soul searching anymore
Once I got my foot in the door
I felt my once idle heart soar
I had to go it all alone
Test the waters and be shown
The way to get to that place
I always knew was my home
But still I find when I arise
Words are meaningless and contrived
When written merely to impress
To which is left a bloody mess
I'm not soul searching anymore
Once I got my foot in the door
I felt my once idle heart soar
I had to go it all alone
Test the waters and be shown
The way to get to that place
I always knew was my home
But still I find when I arise
Words are meaningless and contrived
When written merely to impress
To which is left a bloody mess

Bliss
Will there be another time
When I'll feel your lips
Thrill me with another kiss
And take me to a place
Where you are mine
And we can make love
All of the time
I miss your kisses
And that divine feeling
I've felt when in your arms
A kind of happiness
Akin to bliss
When I'll feel your lips
Thrill me with another kiss
And take me to a place
Where you are mine
And we can make love
All of the time
I miss your kisses
And that divine feeling
I've felt when in your arms
A kind of happiness
Akin to bliss

Loose Lips
You can gossip
about me
If you like
If your words
Should find
Their way
Back to me
I would never
Let it phase me.
Your words don't
Even matter
To me anymore.
about me
If you like
If your words
Should find
Their way
Back to me
I would never
Let it phase me.
Your words don't
Even matter

Never Wasting Away
I'm never wasting away
My time in the world
Of free verse or rhyme
Here I am replenished
Given clarity and strength
To carry on in a way
That simply is spot on
With words I'm never wrong
My time in the world
Of free verse or rhyme
Here I am replenished
Given clarity and strength
To carry on in a way
That simply is spot on
With words I'm never wrong
