POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I have a dark side and some would think that is very weird considering my behavior.
Little Things
Are the little things in life
Worth going for?
If they make your life worth
Living then go for it
Little things may be little
But they can make a HUGE
Difference
So anything small you're after
And don't think you'll get it
Go after it!

Difference

And don't think you'll get it

Am I There?
Edging my way through,
Leaves crumble beneath my feet
Running past tall, shadowy figures for
What look like giants.
Am I there yet?
A bright light shines in the distance
Followed by barks and angry growls
I run faster only to run into a river
And fearfully try to swim across
The current is strong and I cannot hold
On any longer. . .
Sinking deep into the depths of the
River
A hand reaches and pulls me up
Too dark to see their face pulls me to the
Other side
Laying there until the dark figure
Disappears I start...

What's Inside
You can not escape it. You're next. Run if you can, hide if you must, maybe it will not scent you out. It is near shhhh... don't say anything............ NOW RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What's the point? It will catch up to you sooner than you think. Don't bother looking back, you won't find anything. This thing is inside of you.

Away With Love
Do you love me or do you just say it to make me feel good? So this is
love? No, it's physical and emotional. Kill me if it isn't and watch me
die slowly and painfully for your lies. Would you love me? Give me
everything you could from you? Play with my heart until it tears open.
It cannot be stitched together with meaningless words or acts of
kindness in hopes that I will forgive you. Your words mean nothing to me
anymore. That is not my life and will never be, I hope everyone cares
for their special someone.

Hate You Forever
Muffin, cupcake
smells
I HATE YOU.
Lies and secrets
stolen kisses never will they escape.
I hold them dear
HATE YOU forever
Don't forgive, just leave.

Taste of Cincinnati
Small buses from afar
come to you
from where you are.
To where you may come
and where you may go
Here is a taste of Cincinnati.
Bells are ringing high
and choirs are singing low
You hear the birds are chirping
wherever you may go, and as
those lights shine red, orange,
yellow and blue, you may not help
but notice that flowers are in bloom.
I've told you what I can
for you have heard enough
But this may come in handy
when you miss dear Cincinnati.

Beautiful Lies
Sweet whispering in an ear that
listens with pleasure.
Wings that carry in the breeze, soft
grass sways to the promise
of rain.
A promise being made that will
soon be broken.
Crystal shines in the sunlight, as leaves
are being plucked from trees.
Forbidden words are said that will
soon mean nothing.
Bells toll as flowers are swept from
their vases.
Years to go will those words carry them.
Beautiful dresses, tailor-made, with a veil of
silk that covers a pink glow
of blush.
A reddened cheek that tells

Blame Me For No Reason Other Than Just Because You Want To
Bite me for not knowing
Kill me for never thinking that
someone could be dying.
I don't hear something because
of the noise trapped in a
room. Go ahead, yell at me.
Never say you're sorry for
your mistakes.
Go on with life like it never
happened and expect others
to do the same.
Bare your teeth and spit
without a word of compliment
for a mistake you made.
Go ahead, yell at me, but
you may one day say you are
sorry for a small mistake.

Superstitious
Never say never, but here
I am saying it twice without a
moments hesitation.
Look around 360 before you go into
a forbidden place just to make sure noone is
looking.
Spill salt, throw some across your back
and don't throw your hat upon
the bed.
Never lay a broom against a bed
for fear that the evil broom spirits will
curse whomever lies there.
Don't be the one in the middle of three in a
photograph or you'll be the first to go.
Put an acorn in your window to
ward off lightning.
I cross my fingers but never hold...

Death is Alive
I die because I had to
I am rebirthed because I need to
Death is simple, quick
At least in my view it is.
It is as quick as a blink of an eye
And is as simple as breathing
Except for the fact that you are not breathing.
I prayed for God to kill me
one night.
But instead I woke up the next
morning. Darn!
Then I swore to myself
that I would find a way to die
if God didn't do it.
The next day I was hit by a car.

Pain
The pain is intense
The holes are deeper and
Darker
I cannot stand how much
It hurts
Will it ever end?
The world swallowed me whole
Now I am left in the darkest
Part of texture
I cannot find light again
It's too much.
When will the pain
Stop?
By the time the pain stops
So will I
My life was wonderful, bad, and
Full of adventures
Now to think about it this poem does
No good to my mental health state
THIS POEM IS BUMMING ME OUT!!!
Time for more HAPPY Poems!!!
