POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Writing is my first love, its here for me when the entire world is not. Judge my relationship or not, we will still be in marital bliss.
Freedom
Don't touch me, I said don't fuckin touch me
I'm tired of your sympathetic gestures and your pitying thoughts
I'm tired of the doors of my soul being bared wired close
I'm sick of being the one not being the one being choose
Get me out of here I refuse to stay in this box created by my own hate
Unchain the gates and take me to freedom dammit
I thought the battle was won and the gun were gone
I guess I have to free myself of this hell
I will not let you fool me into giving up on myself
No one ever loved me don't mean that i can't love myself
I'm leaving...

Rollercoaster
You know they say, Riding a roller coaster may spark potentially deadly abnormal heart rhythms in people, and thats what your shirt should say
Finally I amp myself to go, admiring you wishing I had the balls to partake in the breath you take away
I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it. Not many people that try lose it, but you as a possibility is worth it
Climbing into your seat with nerve, trembling hoping for you're embrace
Tingles all threw my body, my soul even tingles a bit with the kisses you lite....... my fiiiiiiiiire
A kiss, warm inside not quite sure of this ride but I...

If You Were To Cut Me
If you were to cut me
I would bleed the pain of yesterday's tears. the neglect of my feelings would pour out of my body as a rapid river rushing into an abundant bay of misery. you would see the pity of tomorrows lovers and friends
If you were to cut me
I would bleed the love that I can offer but no one is offering to take. the venerability of a young child left in a silent village of strangers. yet, the hope of a better day where love and passion run free in the house of a beautifully unified family

You would be the cut among...

I deserve better
Life is so bad I can only dream.
The words of love toward me cannot be real
I want real love, thats why it seems
A dream is the only way I can feel
What I deserve because God knows I give it
send me someone worthy is all that I pray
then with reality of life I am hit
begging I wont do for a man to stay
I wont tolerate abuse nor disrespect
I wont be a foot stool just for his love
because I am a worthy woman
huh? too much pride you say?
No way in hell will I have the pain
the pain of my own love thrown back on my face
Little do you...

Stories of Love
I don' been in love a few times offerin them my all
Loving them with everything I wanted from them
Im not an easy lover, its hard for me to fall
But, sweet honey, when I do my love is out on a limb
I used to be scared of being hurt but one thing that love has taught me
You can avoid the inevitable, your gonna to have to choose
Because if you never love you never loose
And if you never loose you never learn the lessons that love has taught me
First there was Travis, with all that boyish charm
Thought that love would last a life time,
But if...

Farewell
For you to tell me that you really care
Would be a lie because when I needed you you were not there
I'm here when you need me. Here when you call
Where were you when it was my time to fall
A shoulder to lean was on was all that I needed
You were there, with her as she pleaded
You never had to ask me to choose
It was never a choice because I always chose you
Im not by any means saying that this door of friendship has to close
Because of your default I can no longer trust you
You left me hanging high and dry
because you were...

Love Lost
They say that it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.
They lied, because if I had never loved you, you wouldn't have left me and I wouldn't be lost
I still miss waking up to your nothing but everything morning text
Holding hands, even when we were alone just to make us feel closer
You sexy soft lips kissing my forehead to make me feel beautiful, after all you did used to love me.
Holding my body so close to yours like treasured jewels
And boy when we made love the world was still and only the rocking of our bodies was real
I miss...

I Do Not Because Its Mine
I do not write for you to read I write to let the soul of an injured person bleed to drain the infection as if poetry is the donor of new life, all patched up and pain free.
I do not need a hyped up blog and 40 thousand men or for you to tell me how good I am and try to recommend me to an open mic, just give me a pad a pen and a little time dwell and you will be doing me well.
I do not want to make your heart drop with stories of my pain, or to make you smile with the few pieces of me that remain, all I want to do is become free just as I unleash these these beautiful words...

Be Free? U sure?
They say when you speak the unspoken you mind becomes free
Maybe its better that my mind stays in captivity
Because my mind is a beast, a beast without chains
And it only pours, there are no light rains
I get to writing and you end up hating me
Even though you were the on telling me to be free
Im not one to give the people what they want
Nor to spend my time and scarcely taunt
Now dont get me wrong I can still write a pretty little love song
And we all know I can write something that will make you want to love me all...

Kisses To My Younger Self
When she is there lying on the floor wondering whether she is wanted or loved because all anyone ever cares about is the child above, when everyone is too busy yellin and screamin, when she is in trouble for not knowing but not being taught...
kisses to my younger self.
When school kids are so crule and no one plays by the teachers rules, when hell its self seem so inviting, and she cant learn in school because of all the fighting, when her middle finger goes up as proper etiquette, and fuck the world is her only method...

Choose Me
Choose me is what I ask of you, guide me and help me choose so maybe I will end better than you.
Choose me is what I screamed as the one who you chose beat the hell from you
Choose me because I come from you, your flesh and blood runs through my veins but so does the pain all because you wont
Choose me I plea sometime I just need you to be there for me but in the moment all you want is for me to let you be
Choose me just as your other options can love you, I can but maybe not as your man
Choose me because I have, a many times, chosen you
Choose me and just be who you...

In kissing my continent I found you
he kissed my continent past those lovely hills
my continent was kissed in such a way there was an earthquake
before that he ate me like a four course meal
oh honey and when he did there was a rumble and then there was a shake
kisses to my inner suburbia never felt so sweet
cant remember a time before when is was me he wanted just me
so i let him go farther until our gametes meet
the whole nine months I was teased and taunted by he
happiness? haven't seen it where the fuck is it
at the hospital and me nor your new son gets a visit
...
