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.
The Lady Blue (Another Chance)
Gary and I were heartbroken over losing the baby.But as luck would have it, I got pregnant again not too long afterwards. Everything was going great that is until the dreams returned. I ended up very depressed over them.
Please don't judge me. I think I have suffered enough for my past transgressions. I pray I am forgiven for I never meant to hurt anyone. I only wanted love like all of the rest. Perhaps, I shouldn't be forgiven as my happiness was bought at the expense of another women's pain.

The Lady Blue (About The Baby)
Life isn't always so easy in the Big Easy. You'll see what I mean. Not too long after Gary and I tied the knot, I turned up pregnant. That was the good part but then the dreams began. My baby was going to be a beautiful blessing in our lives when born. However, I was having dreams I couldn't shake off of something bad happening to the child. I just didn't understand why they were happening.
It's true that not all of my dreams come true. That is a good thing. The problem with it is I never know one way or the other. It's just the way it goes for me.

The Lady Blue (Wedding Bells)
The next morning, I didn't get home until 7:00 a.m. I knew Joe would most likely be up having his morning coffee. I was afraid to go inside because I knew he was going to confront me about my staying out all night. I knew Joe would be upset but I didn't see what was about to happen.
As soon as I got inside, I saw that he was putting his belongings in a big box that he'd place on the floor next to his favorite chair.
"Where you been all night?" He asked, but before I could answer, he raised one hand to stop me, then said. "No. Don't tell me. Let me...

The Lady Blue (The Proposal)
One night at the club, after I finished singing, Gary came up to me from behind me taking me by surprise.
"How is the most beautiful woman in all of New Orleans doing tonight?"i turned around to face him with a big smile on my face.
"You caught me on my way out," I said meeting his eyes.
"Don't go," he said embracing me, "Stay with me awhile!"
"Joe's at home waiting for me."
"Let him wait, Babe." He said then moved his tongue over my right ear. ...

The Lady Blue (Torn Between Two Lovers)
I believed Gary when he said we were through so when he showed up at a party Joe and I threw, I was shocked to see him. Not only was he there but he had come alone. I couldn't stop thinking about him and all of the good times we had shared.
Towards the end of the evening, he followed me into the kitchen as I went to get a drink of water from the faucet. I had just set the empty glass in the sink and was turning around when he cornered me in front of the refrigerator.
"You look absolutely stunning," he said pushing me gently against the refrigerator....

The Lady Blue ( The Big Break-up)
Gary had a big mad on and wouldn't listen when I told him nothing happened between me and Joe that afternoon. In the end he softened some but made me promise that I would tell him if Joe ever made a serious play for me.
So things went along the same as before for a while but my relationship with Gary was strained. I had grown fond of Joe but I still loved Gary.
And then things got really messy because Gary suspected that I was sleeping with Joe though it just wasn't true. I was not able to convince him otherwise and he eventually let me go once again.

The Lady Blue (The Near Seduction)
One afternoon while I was home sunbathing next to the pool, Joe unexpectedly showed up here.
"I probably shouldn't be here," he said standing next to the lawn chair looking down at me, then added, "I'll leave it you want me to."
"It's alright, I replied as I shielded my eyes from the sun and looked up at him. I was thinking about how handsome he looked looking down and ogling me. "Please stay!"
It all started innocently enough with him offering to put sun lotion on my back. I closed my eyes enjoying the way his hands...

The Lady Blue (Making Up)
Gary and I were back together in no time at all. He said he couldn't stand being without me anymore. Of course, I was ecstatic!
What happened was that he started asking me to have a drink with him in his office after my final set. Things started steaming up between us once again.
One night, we started fooling around and ended up making love on his desk. It was around this time Gary and Carol started having some really serious martial problems and he started sleeping nights on the office sofa. He told me they were constantly fighting and he saw divorce in their future....

The Lady Blue (The Affair)
At last, I was living a dream life. I was having a hot and heavy romance with with Gary. I found I was unquestionably and hopelessly in love with him. I had grown up admiring him and fantasized about us having a close relationship. It did not occur to me to turn away from him even though he wasn't really mine.
Being with Gary would sometimes remind me of something that Pa used to say to ma.
"If you're gonna play you have to pay." Ma liked to flirt with other men but if she ever actually stepped out on pa I never knew it.

The Lady Blue (The Dreams)
Our affair began that night There was already a party planned at my house for after my audition. When I asked Gary if he wanted to come he said he wouldn't miss it for anything. I knew we were going to make love for the very first time in my very own bed. How was I so sure? I saw it happening in a dream one night.
I guess I should explain about the dreams. For as long as I can remember I have special dreams sometimes that present themselves as glimpses of the future. My mother had them, too, though not nearly as often as I did. She had a fancy name for them but over the years...
