POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Poetry is a unique way to express emotions, observe moments and process what is going on in your head. I think that is why I've always loved poetry, and the freedom of words on paper.

It's still you
I still look for you in every room
And avoid the area we lived together
When I told you that this was it for me
I wasn’t lying, and years have past and I’m still
Looking for you
I tell my friends that we will meet again and I will be so happy
Does your mom know we broke up?
Comments on my photo and I can’t help but wonder, does she know? Do you care?
I wish you could see my new life
My amazing friends, my new job, and my fluffy new companion
You would love my puppy, and he would love you right back

Here we go again
I remind myself to protect my heart
but you’re staring at me
and I can’t help but smile back.
I know those eyes and your southern ways
would desolate me so quickly
but for some unfamilar reason
I’m not scared at all.
You’re looking at me like I am
Lady Liberty, and I stand with pride.
I rule over this once hopeful city.
I feel admired. I feel eloquent.
I question if I have earned this type
of person, but then I remember all
the times I have done this for the
wrong person at the wrong time.
I recite my own words every...

The new
You think I touch wood and it turns to gold
A warm sense of chaos and confusion
touches my lips and I bow down
Down I go, I cave into this feeling
It’s strange to be touched so gently
In a world that has not been so kind ever before
A warm sense of chaos and confusion
touches my lips and I bow down
Down I go, I cave into this feeling
It’s strange to be touched so gently

Goodbye
This is a goodbye letter to
someone I once loved
I changed my perfume to a new scent
So that you wouldn’t recognize me.
I forget you more and more each day now.
I don’t see your eyes look at me every morning
with disappointment and anger.
You were always so angry with me.
I love my Christmas tree and stare it at
With excitement and holiday joy
Do you remember last year, when you
took down the tree on December 10th
because you had “allergies”?
That should have been my first sign
That you didn’t love tradition and ...

The most important quality of all
When I was younger
I was always impressed by people
who were smarter than me
or could speak 3 or 4 languages
who attended Ivy League colleges
and who dressed immaculately.
It was not until I was truly on my own
that I came to find that the most important
quality of all was kindness.
I felt kindness in hugging
the coffee shop worker on the street
when I could see he had a hard day.
I felt kindness when my past lover
shattered my heart
and I continued to cheer him on
from a distance, with nothing but
love and...

I still know you
I know the coffee shop you go to every day
And I know the spot you sit by the window.
I know that late afternoon is your gym time
And I know you probably argued with your mum
about her chaotic instagram posts.
I know that you feel every emotion
more than normal people.
And I know that you love hard and fully.
I know you tell your friends you are fine
And I know they think you’re better off now.
It’s weird to act like I don’t know you
When in fact I know you more than you know
I know your smile lines, and how your face ...

To be alone
Bukowski famously wrote
that there are worse things than
being alone, I agree, I guess I do.
Being alone brings a cold fold
to my energetic limbs.
It puts petals on my kneecaps
and opens the museum doors.
Instead of pleading, I peel
Marry me, now I mumble
Pink reminds me that
when facts are on your side
pitch a question, never a statement.
Ronald Reagan succeeded
because he asked a question.
So my question to you is
Have you learned to slow down?
Have you been inner lucid with yourself? ...

XMAS 1986
Hello folk; I'm so glad to be alive
17th September - to-day won Singles Championship 22-5
70 years old - bowling-mad - I've made my goal
My name has gone up on Popes Mead's Honours Wall.
This personal success has gone to my pen
Out comes my rhythmic trend - a spurt - when
Out pours my feelings - my brain starts to tick
What a nice year this has been - Nineteen Eighty Six?
This 1986 epistle - "Yours truly' comes first
Must be careful now - my head might just burst
A "personality change" can come - so it is...

Dear L
I want to tell you
that I found your poetry
And that it’s graceful and sad
It’s strange because I know you wouldn’t
Want me to find your words
But you left it in plain sight
no effort to hide
You speak about things only I know
You talk about old apartment dust
And how I wrestle with ghosts
I wonder if you have an inkling
That I see your secrets so publicly
I want to tell you that its okay
And that it is beautiful we both love
The expression of words, lines, paper
I wish we could have shared
This passion...

Canyonlands National Park
What a waste to not wish on an asteroid
In Utah on a cold autumn night
Three shooting stars and counting
Every wish of course was for you
You would have hated this adventure
You liked nicer things
I liked you.
You liked the taste of long aged wine
The rarest 96 Lafite
I just liked watching your happiness
It’s funny because I loved the things
That made you beam and play
But you never liked what I liked
You never liked the wilderness
And family traditions, it never satisfied you
You needed luxury and...

Love Poem
I want to write you the greatest love poem
to ever be written.
I don’t know how but you deserve it
I will try, as follows:
This is an ode you
And the way your skin sinks into mine
After dark and before closing hours
The way you hold me like a feather
And tend to me like I am a broken bird
Our insides wrap together
By an invisible string, tugging at tension
Our lips seamlessly fit like loosening ties
Your love makes me feel
Like an emperor taking over land
I am powerful, I have you.
You are the greatest...
to ever be written.

Young Love
When I think about you
I think about dads blue F150
And Zac Brown Band CHICKEN FRIED blasting on repeat
Those winding Georgia roads
A little sick and a little in love
We begged our parents for $300 and some alone time
Yours said yes way quicker than mine
Betsy convinced Penny and of course she agreed
10 hours on the road with hands gripped
Together on laps and faces on faces
We became adults in those 3 days alone
To the grocery store we went
“Lets make the perfect grilled cheese” you said
Damn you knew how much I loved...
