POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write from the heart. I'm inspired by what happens in my life.
Forever You Will Be My Most Treasured Memory
The storm rages outside my bedroom window
Still as furious as ever
Shaking my soul to its very core
The clouds cover the sky
Drowning the stars in torrential downpour
Their voices cry out in desperate need
But I cannot answer for i am just like them
Your image rests in the back of my mind
As pure and graceful as the jubilant doves
And still you are to me
The girl who held my hand
The girl who stood by my side
The girl who brought me back from the edge of the void
And talked me down when my heart was steeped in death
In that memory I...
Still as furious as ever
Shaking my soul to its very core
The clouds cover the sky
Drowning the stars in torrential downpour
Their voices cry out in desperate need
But I cannot answer for i am just like them
Your image rests in the back of my mind
As pure and graceful as the jubilant doves
And still you are to me
The girl who held my hand
The girl who stood by my side
The girl who brought me back from the edge of the void
And talked me down when my heart was steeped in death
In that memory I...

My Mistake
Your breath forms a mist of lies
As your words hang in the air
Stabbing my heart with malicious daggers
You cloak yourself in hatred and bloodlust
Despair is your gift that you give oh so freely
Your heart torn out and in its place
A gaping void devouring the light
Inside the hearts of those around you
You offered me wine laced in sweet words
And furtive glances
You smiled with what I once thought were stars
But now that the wine has lost its hold
They are nothing more than glinting swords
And the sad part is...
As your words hang in the air
Stabbing my heart with malicious daggers
You cloak yourself in hatred and bloodlust
Despair is your gift that you give oh so freely
Your heart torn out and in its place
A gaping void devouring the light

You offered me wine laced in sweet words
And furtive glances
You smiled with what I once thought were stars

They are nothing more than glinting swords

Together We'll Watch The Sunrise
Leaves fall
Tracing patterns
Intertwined
Like our fingers
As your hand
Holds mine
The grey of dawn
Washes over the trees
Wrapping us in
the warmth of morning rays
The first golden rays
Sparking your smile
In turn Igniting mine
Tracing patterns
Intertwined
Like our fingers
As your hand
Holds mine
The grey of dawn
Washes over the trees
Wrapping us in
the warmth of morning rays
The first golden rays
Sparking your smile
In turn Igniting mine

You Saved Me, Now Let Me Save You
Angelic tears fall from pale sullen clouds
Filling the void between our hearts
I sit waiting for the day the liquid spills over
Washing away the hurt of a thousand days
Without holding your hand
The stars shine in your smile
A smile seen through pale screen
Through the window to memories of long ago
Time and space itself is torn in your absence
A deep rift divides existence
Which can only be mended with your safe return
So run back home through dusk and dawn
Return to the place where you first held my hand
The place our souls...
Filling the void between our hearts
I sit waiting for the day the liquid spills over
Washing away the hurt of a thousand days
Without holding your hand
The stars shine in your smile
A smile seen through pale screen
Through the window to memories of long ago
Time and space itself is torn in your absence
A deep rift divides existence
Which can only be mended with your safe return
So run back home through dusk and dawn
Return to the place where you first held my hand

Waiting For You
Drink the night sky with your precious eyes
I hope you see me painted in the stars
Because when I immerse myself in that dark and empty sea
You are all that swims through my mind
But even the stars could never paint a portrait
Brilliant and beautiful enough to capture your grace
and even angels could never compose a song
Brilliant and beautiful enough to capture your soul
Even in my mind the memory is incomplete
And even though love reaches across the void of time and space
It takes time and space shared between us
To build brilliant and...

Untitled romance
Snowfall on this cold December night
Our footsteps cutting a path through
Endless glades
And up cliff faces
I am weightless in your arms
Your grip is the only thing keeping me
From flying away
Melodramatic proclamations of love
Echo off the walls of our reality
Genuine displays of fervent affection
A strong blaze between the two of us
I am lost in your gaze
Your perfect eyes are the only thing
I can see
With golden heart
And tender embrace
We carry eachother
Through the night
Our footsteps cutting a path through
Endless glades
And up cliff faces
I am weightless in your arms
Your grip is the only thing keeping me
From flying away
Melodramatic proclamations of love
Echo off the walls of our reality
Genuine displays of fervent affection
A strong blaze between the two of us
I am lost in your gaze
Your perfect eyes are the only thing
I can see
With golden heart
And tender embrace
We carry eachother
Through the night

Let's Share Our Final Moments
Life no longer welcomed us
So we drained it from our wrists
And as our wellsprings flowed to the floor
They formed a single red pool
And in that pool
Our souls intertwined
In that moment I knew
In your arms
Holding you close
Staining each other's hair deep red
That I would see you again soon
Hand in hand
We passed through that crimson doorway
Down the maroon hallway
Into the vibrant white light
Of mourning
So we drained it from our wrists
And as our wellsprings flowed to the floor
They formed a single red pool
And in that pool
Our souls intertwined
In that moment I knew
In your arms
Holding you close
Staining each other's hair deep red
That I would see you again soon
Hand in hand
We passed through that crimson doorway
Down the maroon hallway
Into the vibrant white light
Of mourning

Romancing Death
We used to cut our wrists
With the sharp words
Of tortured souls
Back then you were a dreamer
Your visions for life shine brighter
Than the sun
And yet with every night
The life flowed from your veins
And the shimmer in your eyes
Dulled to a soft glow
And every night
You grew a little less strong
We grew a little less strong
You sought a romance I could not give
I could not give to you
Your gaze shifted elsewhere
As you stepped of the edge
of that knife
And fell...
With the sharp words
Of tortured souls
Back then you were a dreamer
Your visions for life shine brighter
Than the sun
And yet with every night
The life flowed from your veins
And the shimmer in your eyes
Dulled to a soft glow
And every night
You grew a little less strong
We grew a little less strong
You sought a romance I could not give

A Moment Of Heaven
Driving top down in my weathered purple convertible
The starry blanket of night wraps us in tender embrace
The biting chill of winter air surrounds us
As a soft piano ambiance drifts lazily from the stereo
Parked in our favourite spot on that old country back road
We tilt our seats back and hold hands
We gaze into the crystal clear night sky
Naming the constellations
The starry blanket of night wraps us in tender embrace
The biting chill of winter air surrounds us
As a soft piano ambiance drifts lazily from the stereo
Parked in our favourite spot on that old country back road
We tilt our seats back and hold hands
We gaze into the crystal clear night sky
Naming the constellations

Snapshots of Happiness
Snow white as angel wings
Sprinkles the barren earth
Skeletons of trees
Warmed with an icy blanket
Serenity over the glade
Two pairs of footsteps
The only movement
In this living portrait
-----------------
Bolt upright
Race down endless stairs
To the foot of the Christmas tree
Standing tall in the living room
A glowing beacon of childhood wonder
And promise
-----------------
Furtive glances
An exchange across
A crowded classroom
Your eyes catch my own
For only a second...

The City Doesn't Seem Nearly As Stressful When You're Here
Hand in hand we walk along the shore
Watching the sun rise
Painting the clouds magnificent golden hues
Gently bathing the world in silver
And as we leave that Sandy shore
You look at me and smile
And grip my hand tight
Pulling me to you
The sun sits high in the sky
As crowds bustle around us
Faceless masses
They mean nothing when you're here
So with your hand in mine
I lead the way to our favourite place to eat
And watch the sunset
We sit silently in each others presence
My arm around you
Pulling you to me
As...

Untitled romance
Silent breeze tossed leaves in trees
Green as your eyes
Stare into me
Drinking my soul
Silent winds sweep waves across the ocean
Blue as my eyes
Stare into you
Drinking your soul
Hands trace lines in sand as they intertwine
Mine in yours
Yours in mine
Green as your eyes
Stare into me
Drinking my soul
Silent winds sweep waves across the ocean
Blue as my eyes
Stare into you
Drinking your soul
Hands trace lines in sand as they intertwine
Mine in yours
Yours in mine
