POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I am on a journey… with my work, my explorations, and a few sad stories. I travel with a suitcase full of outrageous blessings. I am on a quest for truth, beauty and quiet joy. I am an artist, a writer, an explorer. ~unknown~

Good Night
As day becomes night
The stars begin to shine
To kiss the end of the day
Don't be too quick to
Close your eyes
And let slumber take you away.
Go gaze upon the evening sky
As sunlight fades to gray
And the earths covered in a blanket
Of darkness studded by light
That makes it almost impossible
To want to say "Good Night."
The stars begin to shine
To kiss the end of the day
Don't be too quick to
Close your eyes
And let slumber take you away.
Go gaze upon the evening sky
As sunlight fades to gray
And the earths covered in a blanket
Of darkness studded by light
That makes it almost impossible
To want to say "Good Night."

go just go
I don't know
what to say
what to do
my mind is filled
with thoughts of you
yesterday you were here
and now your'e gone
you just expect me to carry on
without you
without knowing why
you just decided to shut
me out
you tell me you love me
and then go away
why do people feel that
that is ok?
to just leave things
hanging so apathetically
in the air
leave "me" hanging
without a thought or care
like it is ok to hurt
me this way

i wonder
how much sadness
one is to endure
all at once
i feel as if i am trapped
in a pounding waterfall of
sadness and hurt
i am constantly trying to free
myself from it
but it keeps pulling me back
and my efforts
seem futile
i keep waiting
hoping, for the good
to start
to kick in
to give my heart rest
and peace
but it is a long time coming
and i am not sure
how much more
i can take
i feel myself surrendering
to it
drowning in it
resisting the urge to rise
to the surface
...

HOME?
I sit here on my rumpled sofa
that has become my bed.
and I wonder how i got here,
a stranger in my own home.
a home that i created
piece by piece
to create memories
for my beautiful
baby girl
and her daddy,
because isn't that
what i was brought up to do.
To be the diligent wife and mother.
Throw extravagant Parties,
and create magical,
enchanting memories
of colorful bliss.
Filling my home with friends
and laughter.
Becoming an avid baker and cook.
Creating delicious slices
of heaven ...
that has become my bed.

WTF?
My dad abandoned me. I have tried my whole life to please him...to make him proud of me. I have been his biggest admirer and cheering squad. I have stood behind him every step of the way, even when he made some serious mistakes. I forgave him. Because he is my dad. He is the only one I will ever have. And when I needed him and I mean really needed him, and asked for his help and support, something I have never had to do before...and I asked if I could go home..just for a few days. Have a change of scenery, have some Father, Daughter time...he said, and I quote, "No, that doesn't work for...

Kiss
We stand
looking out into the ocean
you are bundled against
the cooler October breeze
that continually washes over us
the warmth of the sun
not reaching through to you
I stand gazing out at the waves
slowly crashing onto the shore
my open sweater
blowing in the wind
I close my eyes and feel the wind
and sun against my face
You look at me and say
"this doesn't bother you?
are you not cold?
let me warm you"
and you extend your arms
and hold open your coat
hesitantly, I enter
your arms...

HA!
I am technologically challenged
Of this I have no doubt
Nothing mechanical works for me
It just makes me want to scream and shout
It takes me hours to figure out how
computers operate, and printers. cell phones too
but it's impossible to quit
because everybody has one
and it's the only way to communicate
these days with you.
What happened to actually calling
someone to give a shout out, "HEY"
We rely on texts and computers
to express the way we feel,
by smily faces or sad faces...come on
that's just not real.
I want to...

Eyes Wide Shut
I may hide behind my
satin eyelids
and lashes covered with teary dew
but there is a fire
burning behind them
and it's not meant for you
My eyes glaze over your every
word..
they are not blinded by your lies
you have lost your position here
behind them your bantering
fades and dies
my eyes burn with a passion
that you will never know
it comes from deep inside
a place I never let you go
or have
i am blessed with recesses
that have no bounds
i reach down deep for them
without uttering a sound
...

Who Are You?
Who Are You..
really..
the purveyor of love
hopes and dreams
you wove your way so
eloquently into the valleys
of my heart
your words sweet as honey
poured over me in their
rich deliciousness
so milky sweet
i was immediately entrenched
in every syllable
oh how you
managed me so well
luring me into you with
so much ease
telling me all I needed
to hear, to believe, how rich
you made it all sound
so lovely, so heart renderingly
beautiful...
you wove lyrics into my
very soul...

POISON
Eve 6
Inside Out
"I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the rinds
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
Swallow my doubt turn it inside out
Find nothin' but faith in nothin'
Want to put my tender, heart in a blender
Watch it spin to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through with you"
there he is again
wrapping himself around
every word I speak
grasping each one
as if it were a weapon
and turning them against me
coiling, swallowing, choking
me with his poison
as he...

The Pain
of not believing
when someone says they are there
for you
that they love you
and it is your own doubt
and disbelief in words
because they have always
done you harm
even when there
was love behind them
and instead of trusting
you add doubt and
frustration, because not everyone
is bad, not everyone lies
behind those three words
uttered way to often
that just the sound of them
brings fear and creates
turmoil inside my heart
and i question everything
why? what does it really mean?
what does he...

Lust
all i ask...
is that you pin me
to the cloth
of lust
and hold me fast against it
not allowing me one
breath of movement
as you glide your way
to the very depths
of my soul
is that you pin me
to the cloth
of lust
and hold me fast against it
not allowing me one
breath of movement
as you glide your way
to the very depths
of my soul
