POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
My words mean the world to me and I love to share them! Too many people forget how important it is to FEEL something, I hope to inspire someday...
Vindication
At first glance your hope began to dangle
and my "new-to-you" voice was reassuring
Your emotions untie and untangle
but your nightmare is reoccurring
With just one kiss of my unknowing lips
you ran wild with false intentions
but I'm not responsible for faith renewed
and your state of mind was never mentioned
You were frail and fragile but not on the surface
your tough exterior was just a facade
your acting served no spectacular purpose
nor do you deserve my apathy or applause
I'm sorry I should have known better ...

Writers Block
A blank sheet of paper renders itself available
for me to stain with words and thoughts
that have become tedious and redundant in my life.
A blank sheet of paper awaits something new, something ideal,
something profound and absolute.
The paper is patient but wanting: "What the fuck are
you waiting for? Expel to me your crimson insides!
Change the world with your words! WRITE!!!"
I have not a single word to offer though, no beautiful stain
to give. My mind is tired, and so is my pen.

My Dark
My fault
I create
My love
My hate
My questions
No answers
My sickness
My cancer
My life
My way
All pain
All day
My creation
My disease
No elation
No release
My choice
My rain
No voice
No gain
All me
All mine
Losing faith
Losing time
Self pity
Self doubt
Can't live
I'm without
My gift
It's gone
No strength
Not strong
Not now
No more
No love
No cure
So goodbye
My friend
For me
The end
So near
And real
And all
I feel...

Screaming Apologies
My life has never been easy
but I make no excuse
for the pain I have caused
and the people I've used.
I never hurt you for fun
no intentional pain,
I made blind-loaded choices
with nothing to gain.
I'm sorry for my gamble
and my desire to roll the dice,
I'm sorry for taking my chances
and for making you pay the price.
I know that I hurt you
and you don't understand,
the promises I broke
were not a part of our plan.
I'm sorry you feel empty
angry and confused,
but please don't feel ugly
tricked or used.
I know I...

and the people I've used.

Lucid
My dreams are so lucid.
I can taste the salt of your skin on my hungry lips,
and I can hear the bass beating within your chest.
Your smile is sunlight that warms my face,
and your hands are soft like silk.
Your laughter is beautiful, song lyrics it seems
and the sound is music to my ears.
I can smell the sweetness on your breath
and the lavender in your hair.
You are here with me,
and I weep with happiness.
My dreams are so very lucid,
but they are only dreams.
My hands will never hold you again but my heart will hold you...

My Artist
My body is my canvass
so thirsty for your ink
craving the pain and pleasure
and all the torture that you bring
My skin is yours to decorate
or to scar with your delight
Make me bleed to calm my storm
and save me from my plight
My therapy is in your hands
and you are the doctor that I seek
give me a dose of needles
and diagnose me a freak
My thirst for ink is yours to quench
and your deliverance is my addiction
so let me drink your aggressive art
and appease my souls affliction.

A Wound
Something so small
like a thorn-berry prick.
Insignificant at the moment of creation,
as I was blind and ignorant to something I believed was so superficial.
This wound was your doing and you probably don't even remember me.
We were young and ran into each other while running away from our monsters.
We found a desperate solace and comfort and called it love.
Our first taste of love was a cheap imitation
but it was sweet and we indulged carelessly.
As time revealed its secrets and pain we grew scorned.
It was then that you wounded me....
like a thorn-berry prick.

Beautiful Machina
You are mechanical;
the methodic machine,
a beautiful robot
with metallic genes.
You are predictable;
purely pugnacious,
walking a lonely line
and proudly tenacious.
You are callous,
a cold calibration
Immune to my cause
and to love’s liberation.
You are strong
and selfishly so,
protecting your heart,
not letting it show.
You are armored,
armed and abstruse;
a deadly defense
for the life you choose.

a brilliant clone,
but loneliness lingers...

Selfish Indulgence
My disease,
my confliction
it’s my creation,
my addiction.
Half-healed wounds,
an empty heart;
searching for ways
to set you apart.
You are beautiful
It’s plain to see,
sexy and sweet
but so is she.
My smile is sharp
and my drug is delicious,
the pain I create
is violent and vicious.
I’m sorry now
and I’ll be sorry forever
for the loss of control
and the hope that I’ve severed.
So protect your emotions
and ready your resistance
because this selfish indulgence
sustains my existence.

Curse the Rain
I opened my eyes to the sound of rain
torn from a dream of happiness without you;
a smile quickly soaked in pain
as a storm drenches my bright and blue
The memories come relentlessly rushing,
a slideshow of how much we've lost.
The weight on my heart is cruel and crushing,
I wasn't prepared for what it would cost.
There isn't a single tear left for me to cry
so I've decided to bleed and scream.
I only want to forget us, embrace the goodbye
and to live in these beautiful dreams.
A song, a place, a sound or smell ...

Into The Light
I am unique;
I do not belong with you.
My self-worth will not be jepordized,
and my heart will heal in time.
I will not forget you,
but I WILL forget the pain.
It shouldn't have come to this,
your fear made you weak
and mine broke my heart.
I knew the truth but I fed the lie
because I wasn't ready to sever our facade.
I am ready now.
Your cold shallow heart made this goodbye a simple endeavor...
I swallowed it with ease.
At last we can seal this door, seal my heart
and seperate into the light.
My reflection is no longer broken,...
I do not belong with you.

My Heart Beats Strong Without You
No longer will I play the victim
I'm completely finished with this shit!
I'm on these feet and strong as hell
and nothing you say will make me quit
I finally spit out my hateful goodbye
and I swear to you I meant it.
My time is mine you selfish Bitch
and only I choose how I spend it
I don't care to hear your explanation
or your jealous pleas for answers,
you cannot transcend your deadly core;
your love that consumes like cancer
Now my heart beats strong without you
and vindication pours through these veins,
I have no place...
