POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Deep, artistic, emotional, unique & open minded. I explore the art of poetry as a young owner of a broken heart, but with a huge smile on my face with the willingness to learn more.
Love where art thou?
We were meant to live alone
Sun rises
None by our side
Winds out of control
None to hold on to
Who said a human is just one body
I can prove them wrong
What explains
The chaos in my heart
Winter is coming
Here again
Wishing, hoping to find you again
Love, where art thou?
I am here
Don't be shy
I'll be right here

The Last Time I Saw You
The last time I saw you
Your hair had grown longer
Smile had shrunk smaller
and your eyes dark
The last time I saw you
It was only your face
no public display
a night outside the bedroom
The last time I saw you
I could taste the absence
the end was coming near
and now it's finally here
Your hair had grown longer
Smile had shrunk smaller
and your eyes dark
The last time I saw you
It was only your face
no public display
a night outside the bedroom
The last time I saw you
I could taste the absence
the end was coming near
and now it's finally here

This Time
And as we got into his car at the end of the night,
the thought this magical moment was going to end
came to my mind,
I opened the window and looked at him.
Trying to memorize
the way the streetlights hit his facial features
hidden in the night’s darkness.
Not knowing when will be the next time.
As we got closer driving past green lights,
going up a hill – I suddenly wished
I had lived on the other end of the city,
or the universe.
As we headed into my street
I made sure I knew
what to do
with my last minute
in his precious...

Post Heart to Heart
You’re a real one
You’re so honest and down to earth
And I think
You actually changed something in my today
Like I see things differently
Because of you

You actually changed something in my today
Like I see things differently

The Australian Boy
When you leave
There will be tears in heaven
For a love like this
Hasn't yet lived
In my heart
One mind so strong
Filled with laughter and song
Butterfly kisses and chopsticks
I knew it all along
A dimple by your lips
A sweet taste of your kiss
A passion, an inspiration
Flows through our embrace
Elephants trot across the globe
Searching for adventure and heart
While your feet never stop
Mine want to be pulled apart
I want to be destroyed by you
When you...

Falling For A Celebrity
It’s pathetic and predictable to fall for a celebrity, yet that’s exactly what I did. It’s harmless, isn’t it? I mean, he lives thousands of miles away, across oceans. He’ll never set foot in my country; he’ll never see my face or acknowledge my existence, so I might as well fantasize. It’s healthy after all, to dream. But then it all comes crashing down when they announce they’re coming. Oh no. Suddenly emotions get flooded with frustration on whether to go to the concert or not. It’s expensive and will take up the whole day with hours of waiting in line. But no, that’s not the cause of the...

Had a Nightmare
Had a nightmare
So vivid
Couldn't wake up
Even if I tried
Had a nightmare
A dream
Couldn't escape
Even when I cried
Had a nightmare
So vivid
Like being locked up in a cage
A cage from the past
With no escape
But then I looked at him
All the rage was gone
My heart filled with worry and sorrow
Wondering what will become of me tomorrow
So vivid
Couldn't wake up
Even if I tried

With no escape
But then I looked at him
All the rage was gone
My heart filled with worry and sorrow

That Look of His
The way he looked at me
I just ran away
Can't let him see
My sorrow and pain
Behind these hazel eyes
Crying too hard to fall asleep
Hiding in a bathroom stall with my legs up,
Hugging my feet
God, it stinks in here
But I'm so filled with fear
Fear of the next hour
Spending it in the same room
All i want to do is cry and think in my shower
Listening to some girls' coversation
Their problems seem so small
While I'm running for a love
A love that doesnt love me
He doesnt know me at all...

He Calls Me "Love"
He calls me love
His scent of salt and sandy hair
Left on my sheets in a mid-summer night's air
His eyes blue like the ocean we love
He drove a very long way
To see me after five years
Now that I have lost all my fears
I let him take me away
"Just because this doesn't have a meaning
Doesn't make it any less special,"
But to me he could never be the devil
I just didn't want to imagine him leaving
We shared that night
No worries or thoughts
I even let him be the boss
Because he felt so right
With him I...

The Clock
I stare at a clock
Its hands are not moving
Its heart is not beating
Time stands still
No thrill, no breathing
No mind, no feeling
As I sit here and think
How I am different
Or not
Maybe we're all just clocks
We wish time would stop
No fails, no glory
No tears, no fears
Never grow old
As clocks we ask of you
To fix us once in a while
Refill our batteries
Those are our enemies
So time does not stop
So we all hurt
So will time
So will they
Its hands are not moving
Its heart is not beating
Time stands still
No thrill, no breathing
No mind, no feeling
As I sit here and think
How I am different
Or not
Maybe we're all just clocks
We wish time would stop
No fails, no glory
No tears, no fears
Never grow old
As clocks we ask of you
To fix us once in a while
Refill our batteries
Those are our enemies
So time does not stop
So we all hurt
So will time
So will they

Benji
It was a three week deal
No time to hurt
No time to heal
Of course it was a boy
A summer romance
My little toy
Party, Party, Drink
We did almost everything
but not enough kink
Soon I lost
All sense of control
My heart was the cost
Too late it was
He had to fly
No worthy cause
And so it ended
My little lullaby
Ended, Splendid
No time to hurt
No time to heal
Of course it was a boy
A summer romance
My little toy
Party, Party, Drink
We did almost everything
but not enough kink
Soon I lost
All sense of control
My heart was the cost
Too late it was
He had to fly
No worthy cause
And so it ended
My little lullaby
Ended, Splendid
