POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I have a dark side and some would think that is very weird considering my behavior.
Mirror, Mirror
Mirror, Mirror on the wall
Who indeed is the fairest
of them all?
But my dear not Snow White
with her blood-red lips
and hair of blackest night
Nor am I the Queen of
death
Just a lonely soul
Searching to find her
true rest
Who indeed is the fairest
of them all?
But my dear not Snow White
with her blood-red lips
and hair of blackest night
Nor am I the Queen of
death
Just a lonely soul
Searching to find her
true rest

Those Sacred Little Words
He whispers softly in my ear
the three words that
mean to me so dear
"I love you" he says
Words that have pained him so
and I wished so badly
that I could take away
his pain and his woe
His suffering has damaged
his heart to shattered pieces
and all that is left is the
broken shards I step on
I need to heal him
to clear his head, to make
him better and to reclaim
his heart.

Thoughts While I Fall Asleep
Cuddled to his chest
Saying nothing at all
His eyes speaking months of
unspoken conversations
My head buzzing like the
wings of a hummingbird
Alive with so much passion
for this one man
He treats me so gently
while he rubs my skin ever-so
softly, a loving touch that
brings tears to my eyes
and drives my senses crazy
Never had I found such
a man who is as like
the one I have
With eyes so deep and a heart
so full, he is my absolute
everything, everything
is so much brighter when he
is with me.

Left for Death
Leave me for
Death to find me
Wrapped in my silken woes
I plead for Death as
he comes bearing the single
thread of string that's my life.
"Do you feel dead?" Death asks
I look into the black sockets
of his skull where many have found
themselves lost as their souls traveled
into their depths.
"Yes" I respond, hoping
not only to have the feeling but to
experience True Death.
Please shed my blood on these
dirty wood floors I've walked on
and capture my tears as they fall.
I deserve no...

The Art of Silence
You wake up screaming
at two in the morning
They are no longer there
Having taken their things
and followed the wind
Traveling like ripples
in a wave
Disappeared, from this life
from you, from everything
Never returning, but if they
do then they were yours in
the beginning
Silence beyond the grave
beyond the hope that your screams
will seek them out
That you will find them once again
But everything has been muted
and once again you find yourself
at the hands of your maker
in Silence
at two in the morning
They are no longer there
Having taken their things
and followed the wind
Traveling like ripples
in a wave
Disappeared, from this life
from you, from everything
Never returning, but if they
do then they were yours in
the beginning
Silence beyond the grave
beyond the hope that your screams
will seek them out
That you will find them once again
But everything has been muted
and once again you find yourself
at the hands of your maker
in Silence

No Happy Ending
The look on your face
says it all
The unwritten story of
what happens next
Just tell me, spit it out
get the words off your
chest so that you can throw them
in my face
I don't want to be with you
anymore
It came down to this and
this is where it ends
There is no pot of gold
at the end of the rainbow
No happy ending
Just nightmares that hang
on the edge, waiting to pounce
and devour your most pleasant dreams
There is no happy ending
says it all
The unwritten story of
what happens next
Just tell me, spit it out
get the words off your
chest so that you can throw them
in my face
I don't want to be with you
anymore
It came down to this and
this is where it ends
There is no pot of gold
at the end of the rainbow
No happy ending
Just nightmares that hang
on the edge, waiting to pounce
and devour your most pleasant dreams
There is no happy ending

Nightmare of Silence
I want it to end
The stinging, the ringing
all the voices in my head
and oddly enough, they're silent
It's too quiet
I think I'm going insane
I need to do something
Something new
Something to break
this routine
I've made a rut
that I can't get out of
Please just let me
Let me anything
Something needs to change
I need to change
Let me live through this
this nightmare of silence
is bringing my thoughts down
into my rut
where they will waste away
It's driving me crazy ...

Forgotten
You hug me like you never left me
I feel nothing anymore
You act like all is well when it isn't
How stupid
You left a scar on my bleeding heart
a ragged opening
I hear what you're not saying
and it makes me sick.

Disturbed We Run Around The Rosey
Lock me up
in that asylum where
everyone goes
Shackle my ankles
and bond my wrists
I am crazy, you know
Laughing until my
throat is dry
swearing you'll rue the day
Indeed you will
Your ancestors will cease
to be known, for I have
killed them all
And here I sit watching
this beautiful day
counting the hours of
daylight until night falls...until your dead.

Don't Forget Me

Listening to "All We Ever Do Is Say Goodbye" by John Mayer
Please tell me I'm wrong.
Tell me the truth.
Don't tell me I'm right.
Prove you're only occupied
with your occupation.
If not, then please tell me
you were.
Can I return the clock to that
glorious time when we met?
Can I replay that moment when I
was yours and yours only?
I can't sleep. Too restless.
Just please don't forget me.
Please send me some sign that you
haven't forgotten me.

Forever Dying
I drown in my pillow,
For my tears have caused my death.
Never will I ever trust you again
So forever I wept.
You held me and kissed,
On the day of my seventeenth birth.
I tried to go but you held me fair
For I was the one to let go first.
And I found you to be exciting,
My man of humor and love.
But alas you had a maiden
Never to tell me of.
I wept and screamed,
For the crime I've committed.
I only knew afterwards,
That all was misfitted.
He repeated a crime,
Done to me long ago.

Love will Murder you in the End
I yearn for those eyes that will catch my heart.
Where are you, my mystery man?
I yearn for that touch that sends heat to my heart.
Where are you, loving hands?
I yearn for that sound when he laughs.
Where are you, voice of joy?
I yearn for what should be mine.
Where is it, my one and only?
I yearn for that taste of heaven.
Where is it found, my sweet?
I yearn for those muscles in his jaw.
Whispering what, my darling?
I yearn for the sun through his hair.
Where is the sun, dear wind?
I yearn for the...
