POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Skeleton In My Closet
I had many sleepless nights
And walked a painful path
Sorrow, heartache and pain
I remembered from my past
I've done many things
I know wasn't right
And the skeletons in my closet
Came back to hunt my life
In my strongest hour, I
Found myself to be weak
And I shared all night passion
With strangers in the street
I thought they would love me
When I gave them my all
I didn't resist temptation, I
Answered many calls
I somehow fell in love
And met a wonderful man
If he found out about the ...

In my strongest hour, I
Found myself to be weak
And I shared all night passion
With strangers in the street
I thought they would love me
When I gave them my all
I didn't resist temptation, I
Answered many calls
I somehow fell in love
And met a wonderful man

Laughter
Laughter is good medicine
That somehow heals I’m told
It lifts, it mends, broken
And torn souls
Laughter is the beauty
That comes from within
It has no measures
It has no end
Laughter lifts the mind from
Things that weigh you down
It conquers any situation
To bring you back around
So laugh in the morning
Night, noon, and day
Let laughter mend your soul
Let laughter have its way
That somehow heals I’m told
It lifts, it mends, broken
And torn souls
Laughter is the beauty
That comes from within
It has no measures
It has no end
Laughter lifts the mind from
Things that weigh you down
It conquers any situation
To bring you back around
So laugh in the morning
Night, noon, and day
Let laughter mend your soul
Let laughter have its way

I Didn't Bring
I didn't bring a flower mother
So I hope its alright
I didn't bring you candy
To eat in bed tonight
I brought something special
That you can always see
Guess what mother?
I brought ME!
So I hope its alright
I didn't bring you candy
To eat in bed tonight
I brought something special
That you can always see
Guess what mother?
I brought ME!

A Talk With the devil
One night while watching television
I suddenly fell asleep
And when I open my eyes
This stranger I did meet
A wild looking creature,
Bolder then I had seen
Somebody shake me and
Tell me this is a dream.
I did not want to be here,
This is a mistake
Wake me; shake me,
Before it is too late.
The creature began to laugh,
As he laughs so hard;
You are down here to stay
So said the Lord.
You had your chance
To live a Christian life
But you didn't count on
Taking this deep sleep tonight.
Listen careful my...

Respect
I am a woman,
I respect myself
I am only me,
And no one else
I cry, I hurt, and
I can even love
I am beautiful, unique,
An extraordinary girl
I am brave, honest,
Cute,, and kind
Respect is earned
So today its mine
My words are simple
Short and sweet
Even the cloths I wear
Is sexy and neat
My walk is slow
Seasoned with Grace
You can tell from my
Talk I have good taste
Gentle and delight
I...

It's my Frist Time
I sat patiently for you
To walk through the door
My heart beat faster than
It ever did before
I know you understand
You read all the signs
Just be gentle with me
Because it’s my first time
When I look in your eyes
I feel something new
And all I want in my heart
Is to spend time with you
Tonight I will know what
It feels to be love
And from now on I
Will be your only girl
Please be patient with me and
Everything will be...

Hooked
Lying in this little room
Tied down to this bed
Men walking round in white coats
While insanity in my head
Laughing, talking, hanging
Out with my friends
Led down a lonesome road
Where I could see no end
One little taste, I
Swear that’s all I took
Now I’m lying in this little room
Strung out and hooked
I am dreaming of a life
I wish I almost had
But I’m lying in this little room
With my heart feeling sad
My friends are all gone
Nowhere to be found
They led me on a wild ride
And then they let me down

Yesterday
Yesterday I felt that I
Could soar up high
Today I feel down
I really want to cry
Yesterday I thought the
World was in my hand
There is so much pain today
I really don’t understand
Waking up today from a
Restless night of sleep
Only to find that yesterday
Has fallen down on me
Yesterday I had peace
And a warm gentle smile
Today I wear a frown
And nothing seems worthwhile
Yesterday I thought that
I could win this race
Today I find that things are
Thrown back in my face
If I could take yesterday
And...

Stolen Love
Stolen Love
Getting off work late
Round about nine O’clock
Running through the alley
Across from the parking lot
Three feet from my car
Someone grabbed me from behind
One man appeared
In front of me saying;
Don’t scream lady its fine
A strong arm around my neck
I found it hard to breathe
I found myself being dragged
Between two palm trees
Masks covered their eyes
Only their mouth did show
Why is this happening
I only wanted to know
“Please stop, Let me go!”
I don’t want your love
To do this...

Planned Suicide
Planned Suicide
Lying on the bed
Crying for help
The only other option
Is a slow painless death
She picks up the telephone
Talking to a friend
My life is useless
It somehow must end
There’s no joy in
Her soul today
Visions of suicide in
Her head do play
When she needed someone
To just be there
They turned their backs
They just didn’t care
She went into the bathroom
And looked into the mirror
Heart broken, lonely,
Sad and teary
No one would answer her
When she calls
No, not a soul,...
