POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
The Last Time It Rained
Do you remember the way you felt when you stepped outside and saw big grey clouds and the sun peeking behind them? The clashing of blue and grey hues spread throughout and the fresh wind blowing so slightly your way.
Do you remember how you felt when the clouds got darker and the air got colder and the sun got hidden away? when the sky played drums to bring the rain and you felt the cold water on your face.
Do you remember how it felt when the wind blew a little harder and saw the trees dance and their leaves fall at your feet? when you could smell the wet concrete and...

Magnets
You have a way with your words , a seduction to your voice that I cannot submerge.
Oh but your smile without denial can have me blushing a while.
Take the risk and let's connect the magnets of our souls within, sharing the energy until we're worn out thin.
So I'll be waiting, hoping time starts fading closer to our endless sharing.

When
Fuck, I don't know man
I'm not getting better
I try but I don't think I can.
Writing letter after letter
but you're still dead.
What the fuck do I do?
I hate being sober
thinking I might see you soon
popping pills over and over.
Feels like an endless cartoon,
And I miss you.
Nights out drinking, going crazy
screaming and bleeding
Everyday I get more lazy
Yet I'm pleading
to the beyond
fuck it all and fuck "god"
asking for him to respond
But he's gone.

Feels like an endless cartoon,

Nights out drinking, going crazy
screaming and bleeding
Everyday I get more lazy
Yet I'm pleading
to the beyond
fuck it all and fuck "god"
asking for him to respond
But he's gone.

Paranoid
It's time for bed
Sleep my child
It's all in your head
No,
there are no shadow men
Go to sleep
or I'll count to ten.
Sleep my child
You are able to move
I'll be next door
Just run to my room
Don't slip on your way or it will catch up
But it's all okay
I know you are tough.
Sleep my child
There's nobody there
It won't open the door
or play with your hair
They are not on the floor
Or under...

Bliss
Just when I thought I couldn't sink any lower I find myself back in your arms,
It seems as if I'd never rid myself of you.
Unable to resist your seductive voice, pleading to let you in.
An obvious mistake.
But I miss the warmth you grant me, the sense of security, and the confidence.
Regardless I relapse back into your all too familiar embrace.
I worry of forever being lost in your words.
but I quickly surrender to your siren song of my subconscious.
I know you're toxic,
but bliss conquers all.

Ruined
Wish I could smile the way I used to, smile of genuine happiness rather than for reassurance that I'm fine, wish I could look myself in the mirror and still have those sparkles in my eyes rather than those eye bags that I cannot hide, to wake up and not feel dreadfulness sinking in, wish I could tell my story and know where to begin. Wishing is the wanting of a hopeless thing and loving is just another beauty you've ruined for me.
