POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I love words and how they make one feel. How they come in and take over your soul. How they just fucking take over your whole existence.

His Love
his love
is a beautiful dream
it seeps into
the depths of my being
a love that feels
like a hundred lifetimes
slowly, so slowly
peeling back
the many layers
of my existence
learning the secrets
that are hidden within
and yet - he stays
delicately kissing
my damaged past
his irascible fingers
caressing my hopes and dreams
his love
seduces my mind
and fills the vacant
corridors of my soul
I want to stay
inside this moment
for the rest of our time
and never wake ...

Silent screams
these shame filled memories
just won't let go
they come
inside the empty clock
a broken past
comes storming back
the silent screams
slowly invade my throat
his cold hands
upon forbidden flesh
stifling the crys
cigarette stained breath
still drench my ears
the pain
still fills my lungs
I scream and beg
for the night
to fucking end
to no longer exist
in this very existence
to simply
just fade into the darkness
just won't let go
they come
inside the empty clock
a broken past
comes storming back
the silent screams
slowly invade my throat
his cold hands
upon forbidden flesh
stifling the crys
cigarette stained breath
still drench my ears
the pain
still fills my lungs
I scream and beg
for the night
to fucking end
to no longer exist
in this very existence
to simply
just fade into the darkness

DARK POEM

Within these walls
as the liquid
percolates from
etiolated skin
a jaded past
awakens the soul
battered
bruised
tormented
and empty
painted hallucinations
delicately cry out
we surrender
our shameful secrets
to these bare walls
as the shadows gather
to say
their final goodbye
percolates from
etiolated skin
a jaded past
awakens the soul
battered
bruised
tormented
and empty
painted hallucinations
delicately cry out
we surrender
our shameful secrets
to these bare walls
as the shadows gather
to say
their final goodbye

Waiting for dreams
and
if this dream
ever fades
I'll keep you
tucked away
within the pocket
of my soul
until
the night comes
and dreams
bring you
back to me
again
if this dream
ever fades
I'll keep you
tucked away
within the pocket
of my soul
until
the night comes
and dreams
bring you
back to me
again

In her bones
As she blew out
the old dusty lamp
she caught
a cold glimpse
of her darkened eyes
staring back
from the ink etched mirror
her life flashes
before her
so many painful regrets
fill her mind
her once
loving words
no longer
carry their existence
as she gently
closes her eyes
for another long
dark filled night
the final
frigid winter
sets deep within
her bones
the old dusty lamp
she caught
a cold glimpse
of her darkened eyes
staring back
from the ink etched mirror
her life flashes
before her
so many painful regrets
fill her mind
her once
loving words
no longer
carry their existence
as she gently
closes her eyes
for another long
dark filled night
the final
frigid winter
sets deep within
her bones

Gone
it’s the clouds
at times
that remind me
of you
the stars, the moon
the wind, the sun
the here and now
the past
the future
almost everything
sometimes
there just aren’t
enough words
but, you’re still gone
and nothing
absolutely nothing
can change that
at times
that remind me
of you
the stars, the moon
the wind, the sun
the here and now
the past
the future
almost everything
sometimes
there just aren’t
enough words
but, you’re still gone
and nothing
absolutely nothing
can change that

The Writer
To write
I bleed
a story must be told
my truth escapes
the bitter sweet taste
consumes each line
the writer within
lives upon these pages
I listen
as you whisper my name
the very breath of you
fills my naked soul
stirring something in my core
awakened
alive I am once more
I listen in silence
to the secrets within
to write
I bleed
and yet another story begins
I bleed
a story must be told
my truth escapes
the bitter sweet taste
consumes each line
the writer within
lives upon these pages
I listen
as you whisper my name
the very breath of you
fills my naked soul
stirring something in my core
awakened
alive I am once more
I listen in silence
to the secrets within
to write
I bleed
and yet another story begins

Soulmate
I find you
inside another dimension
a vast space
outside of this physical world
where the concept of time
just doesn’t exist
where we connect
beyond the touch
beyond the mind
beyond the depths
of our surface
we connect in this sphere
that sits inside of emptiness
through the very souls
of our existence
the language we speak
has no voice
no shapes or letters
it has no rhyme or reason
there are no words
it only has a rhythm
a magnetic force of waves
that carry us to one another ...

You & I
you and I
are just specs
of dust
floating upon
this earth
we live inside
the moments
that carry
us away
into the stars
as time
sits quietly
inside
the palm
of our hands
are just specs
of dust
floating upon
this earth
we live inside
the moments
that carry
us away
into the stars
as time
sits quietly
inside
the palm
of our hands

Polaroid
unspoken moments
that fade from grey
to a darker shade
printed
ink stained
and tucked away
painful reminders
of a life
that use to be
time seems to freeze
the bruised memories
that remain trapped
inside the frame
of a polaroid
that fade from grey
to a darker shade
printed
ink stained
and tucked away
painful reminders
of a life
that use to be
time seems to freeze
the bruised memories
that remain trapped
inside the frame
of a polaroid

Coffee and Dreams
as our world
is fast asleep
in the quietness
of this place
we find ourselves
gently floating
through seconds
coffee and dreams
fill this space
that we share
a breath
of silence
falls upon us
and the day
finally awakens
though our time
here upon
this moment
doesn't last
the love within
always will
is fast asleep
in the quietness

we find ourselves
gently floating
through seconds
coffee and dreams

DARK POEM

The face of death
inside this vast darkness
in this deafening silence
stones are ice cold
webs covering the etched past
trapped bones
under the reeking soil
don’t make a sound
death suffocates my soul
as it taps upon my feet
clawing at my flesh
welcoming me into the depths
of the red stained waters
in this deafening silence
stones are ice cold
webs covering the etched past
trapped bones
under the reeking soil
don’t make a sound
death suffocates my soul
as it taps upon my feet
clawing at my flesh
welcoming me into the depths
of the red stained waters
