POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I took my first creative writing class in the fourth grade and am still madly infatuated with a blank piece of paper.This is as real as it gets....thank you for letting me be myself.
She
She was beautiful
With the initial trespass
Into my contradiction,
Teasing me with a hope,
That she was something more
Than what she was.
I so selfishly believed.
I let myself Lust and Crave,
And Love!!1
But she is nothing!!!
Night summing,
Under pale moon light should have
Lent some truth-
She was a faccade
In a relationship that lied,
And now it is I that says so much,
And means so little.

To Prove
Let me hold you in my mind
Like you're more than what you are,
So that even when the world
Disappears before my eyes,
I'll have something to live up to
In my daydreams of perfection.
I'm plotting on this like the biggest heist
In the history of the world.
I know I can pull this off!
My strength swells within me like pride.
I just want to prove to one person,
That I'm an addict with ambitions...
Anyways....It's time.

As bad as it sounds,
I love watching you when you first get high-
Again slipping into the routine
Of the non-committed dope fiend-
It excites me in a somewhat sinful way.
The look in your eyes change-
Instantly making me feel like
The most beautiful woman in the room-
Reassuring me that I'll forever be your Butterfly.
I can do no wrong when engulfed
In you intoxicating delirium-
For hose few brief days we're absolutely perfect;
And the best part is the way you feel-
Your touch, your kiss,
The heat of your naked body against mine-...

Almost
Any second now,
Something amazing is going to happen;
Nothing is definite yet,
But just maybe,
It's a little silence
Followed by a slow exhale
Into the eternal peace
Of your unconditional embrace-
All I've needed,
All along-
Just wait for me...
The train is finally gonna clear the tracks...
Any second now,
I'll cross over,
To the home land,
The promise land;
Where there is nothingi
As genuine and elegant
As my struggle for perfection...
Any second now,
I will ALMOST be,
The only thing you'll ever want.

Sunday Again
Every time I look up,
It's Sunday again,
And another week is gone.
All the coulda-dones,
And shoulda-saids
Gang up on me-
Relentlessly guilting me
Into each eager Monday,
Where once more,
I find myself
Surrounded by good intentions.
Then, in the blink of an eye,
I get swept up in a whirlwind
Of hours, addictions,
And your unconditional love.
Before I know it,
It's Friday,
And I'm playing Russian Roulette
With deadlines,
In the midst of 5 o'clock traffic...
At last accepting the fact,
That time has run out,...

Not Petfect
I'm not perfect,
Nowhere close,
And honestly,
I think I may be slipping
A little more than I should;
Cause I have needs,
That only you can meet-
But you can't seem
To make the time,
So, I make do-
The best way I know how-
By slowly melting you down.

Lie To Me
Lie to me,
Just one more time,
So I can remember the pain,
And find it in me to forgive you.
Then maybe I can blame you,
Instead of hate you...
That way, every time I think of you,
I won't feel the shame
Of regretting you...
Especially since you will undoubtedly
Be a part of me forever.

December
I got lost somewhere along the way-
Headed up state I think,
With grand plans
Working themselves out in my head-
And I ended up here.
Not exactly sure what to call it,
But perhaps i'll stay awhile,
Admire its style-
Maybe even nod off so I can enjoy
Those thoughts of you
That I had hid so well in my denial,
Wrapping myself up
In a mid-day fantasy.
Amazed by the beauty
Of all the things
I believed I'd never see.
Stretching out for miles,
By simply letting go,
Ever so slightly opening my mouth,
Parting my lips-

Even Today
Even today,
You are still my fantasy-
All my burning desires and sensual arousals,
Are at your fingertips.
My every temptation begins, ends and swells
With insane pleasure beneath your tongue.
It's being part of you,
That makes me a worthy woman,
Cause no matter what else I do,
Or how hard I try-
I only feel truly beautiful and satisfied
In the aftermath of your penetration
And orgasmic relief.
I can't think of a single time I didn't smile
While watching you walk away
After finding full-fillment in me.

Don't Try This At Home
We're professionals-
Exposing a few of the guiltier pleasures-
Don't try this at home...
And always remember,
When it comes to that forbidden fix,
Nothing is off limits,
Anything is possible...
So, that being said,
I'd like to welcome you to
The fantastic delirium
Of the speed freak;
Ready to instantly engulf you
In a brand new state of mind-
Where an indescribable energy
Rushes perpetually through you-
Making you blush beneath
It's taboo touch
And delicate undertones
Of something nameless and...

Awkward Silence
It's different now between you and me.
Kinda funny how things change-
Like right this second-
Can you hear it?
That awkward silence,
Just hanging there between everything we say,
(Or don't say).
There was a time I depended on you-
Needed you-
Craved you-
Couldn't live without you-
You were the essence of who I truly was.
I trust you and only you,to hold back,
WhY I can't hold in.
So, ill always return to you-
Seeking the peace of your atonement.
But, we both know that everyone
Loses faith from time to time--
Maybe its...

Another Long Night
It looks like its gonna be another long night.
The U-Haul is finally headed this way-
Taking its time down Old Firestem Lane.
I'm trying to stay focused,
Despite the spilt sack,
And the overwhelming ring tone remix,
And how I keep catching such odd pieces
Of five different conversations--
It seems this is where
I finally begin to lose it--
When many random thoughts
Take on about a dozen background noises...
But tonight, everything seems
To fall perfectly into place.
All I need now is a cigarette
And a breath of...
