POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I have recently found writing poetry is therapeutic and a good way to release stress and it is very enjoyable
Come Play With Me
Within seconds it rushes throught your veins
too much and you fry your brain
heart starts racing, beats real fast
Wish this feeling could always last
Bad memories are all taken away
Now I'm ready to come out to play
It's rare for me to feel this good
So come play with me while ya should
As you will see another side of me
my inabitions are gone entirely
Forgive me if I scream and moan
As I am yours and yours alone
Tonight I'll ride ya like a bike
Wearing something that you will like
What comes next is your call
I promise I...
too much and you fry your brain
heart starts racing, beats real fast
Wish this feeling could always last
Bad memories are all taken away
Now I'm ready to come out to play
It's rare for me to feel this good
So come play with me while ya should
As you will see another side of me
my inabitions are gone entirely
Forgive me if I scream and moan
As I am yours and yours alone
Tonight I'll ride ya like a bike
Wearing something that you will like
What comes next is your call

IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
I was so young, so naive
full of life, wanted to achieve
so many goals, wishes and dreams
back then I had pride and self esteeme
I thought you were the one you see
and I gave you my heart entirely
I put my trust and faith in you
believed that my fantasy had come true
It wasn't before too long
we packed our bags and we were gone
The other side of the country we went
many years happy and content
A young family we started to raise
so much love, admiration and praise
Suddenly in the blink of an eye
ten years you were...

A Mother's Prayer
I look in her eyes who do I see
The splitting image looking back at me
I take a step back, a deep breath I take
I pray she doesn't make the same mistake.
I love her more than words can express
I want to protect her life getting in a mess.
So many qualities the same we share
I know that I shouldn't compare
But I see myself so much in her
I hope she can better conquer
All her hopes, dreams and desires
I hope in some way my life inspires
Her to be the very best she can be
By learning about what happened to me
To move on with a greater...

Addiction
It will never happen to me!
No way . . . I'm as strong as can be
I can have a dabble, I'm in control
never will it drag me in a hole
Look at me I'm on the ride
when I'm done I'll toss it aside
I'll know when the time has come
but right now this is so much fun
Tomorrow I will stop for sure
what the hell, I'll have one more!
It's not until your deep in that hole
you realize holy shit it's got my soul
The girl in the mirror you don't recognise
you only know how much you despise
the reflection staring back in your face

scars
When things turn out not how you dream
How do you start to redeem
And gain some control
Piece together a shattered soul
To move on and start to heal
And to just accept the way you feel
Stop trying to avoid the pain
Only then I think I can gain
The insight and tools I’ll need to use
So that I can learn to defuse
The desire to escape my fears
Reflecting on those painful years
As I can’t change the past
The intensity won’t always last
Time and courage will go a long way
To heal the scars of that traumatic day
I don’t think I will...

The Demon
Seducing you ever so sneakily
false promises of peace and harmony
Slowly, unbeknown to you
your in its grips
not much you wouldn't do
to satisfy and quench its thirst
so selfish, always puts itself first
Relentless and demanding it toys with your mind
you give in saying "it'll be the last time"
It will wait patiently till your weak and vulnerable
building its momentum to take over control
the harder you fight, the louder it screams
taking you to your bitter extremes
The battle continues day in and out
with this demon you...

Endless Wave
Endless thoughts like a twister in sight
keeps my head wrapped up in its plight
mixed emotions like an endless wave
riding the barrel until it concaves
being tossed around then spat out
left feeling confused and so much doubt...
In me. . I can't fight it any more
I'm gettin on that's for sure
The hours I have wasted pondering over it
...I give in...Yes... I Quit
Just this time, it'll be the last
then I will put it all in the past
You believe your bulshit at the time
say anything to make is sound fine
The cycle goes on its merry...

Lost
So confused burning up inside
as once again I told a lie
continuing to deceive myself
by denying that I am powerless
There's no where to run. . .
no where to hide. . .
To escape what's really going on inside
I need to just give it my best
and slowly work through the mess
Stop pretending it's all ok
acknowledge that I have lost my way
as once again I told a lie
continuing to deceive myself
by denying that I am powerless
There's no where to run. . .
no where to hide. . .
To escape what's really going on inside
I need to just give it my best
and slowly work through the mess
Stop pretending it's all ok
acknowledge that I have lost my way

The Ride
Beware...
If you get on this ride there's no guarantees
So climb aboard, the first one there's no fees
It'll give you a thrill like never before
you line back up. . . you'll want some more
As you chase the rush and the high
all your worries you can put aside
But once I have got you in my grips,
piece by piece your morals will slip
then I'll turn on you when you least expect it
your desire for me will be unconditionally
I'll drive you to near insanity
Consume your thoughts till I get my way
eventually you'll start to obey ...

RAW MEMORIES
Its been over ten years since that unforgettable day
I can remember it like it was just yesterday
the intense emotions I can't yet escape
as in your hands you had yours and my fate
It still haunts me the helplessness and fear
thinking of it brings a tear.
You thought you found a friend in the meth
but it nearly brought your death
I just find it hard to understand why
you became on such a mission to die
I tried so hard to get you some help
You were oblivious as to how I felt
I felt trapped like I couldn't leave
the threats...
