POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write alot of spiritual reflections as they appear in my mind. I have photo memory and must write what I picture. I love poetry because it is a gift that has always seemed to come easy for me, even in the hardest of times.
Poetress -10/10/2023
I am a poet...
What does that mean?
Do I only write pretty words
That make the heart sing?
Do you comprehend what I can bring?
To this table, I mean this paper
It isn't just meaningless things...
My heart is poured through this pen and pad;
Most times derived from inspiration-
Sometimes I can bring sad...
This pen heals me,
And the paper helps me to release-
To write these words,
So the mind can finally cease...

Hurt - 10/02/2023
There are no answers
To the questions I have in mind
Nothing that could change it
Not one factor possible to rewind
I am not a super hero
That wears a pretty cape
I do not have control of this
No foot on the brake
I am at a loss for words
For how absurd
This situation has deterred
Moments seem like eternal waiting
To this subject I am stating
My heart is steady quaking
My voice, shaking
I lose all hope for this time
To fix this all and get back entwined
With...

Never Forget You - 08/04/2021
You left a hole inside of me in which I do not understand how to repair
Filling these holes with meaningless substance is not what fulfills me.
So, I am left with a slight grasp and tight memory of what was done
Faint- but, easily reconciled by everyday occurrences and and events..
A refreshment of the mind, that is not so new and fresh-
This is a memory that is engraved permanently inside with a poisonous recoil of emotion and photomemory.
Details, completely vile, hard to view, and impossible to forget
I...

Vigilance - 08/03/2021
Beware:
Roses hold thorns,
Apples have worms
You must be vigilant-
The siren is ringing,
The palms start tingling
Be constantly aware.
My chest begins to ache,
Brain shaken like an earthquake
Save me from this mess I made.
I try to be the hero,
I run myself to zero
Nothing is ticking,
But this empty clock...
Roses hold thorns,

Brain shaken like an earthquake
Save me from this mess I made.

I run myself to zero
Nothing is ticking,
But this empty clock...

Mosaic - 07/06/2023
You have reshaped
By piecing together
A once unified canvas of colors
Which is your being
That was stomped
Shattered
Recreated
Refined
Into a mosaic
A mosaic that is more beautiful
Than the once known canvas
Torn, shattered
But reordered, recreated-
Into the work of art
Known as your life
Your internal self
Your being
Creating a burst of colors
That once did not exist
A mosaic
Of beautiful art
You truly are
By piecing together
A once unified canvas of colors
Which is your being
That was stomped
Shattered
Recreated
Refined
Into a mosaic
A mosaic that is more beautiful
Than the once known canvas
Torn, shattered
But reordered, recreated-
Into the work of art
Known as your life
Your internal self
Your being
Creating a burst of colors
That once did not exist
A mosaic
Of beautiful art
You truly are

Revision
I am here expressing my heart
I feel torn, but slowly being peiced together...
Alive, but dying inside
Out of order, but slowly restoring my whole life.
I have agreed and conformed to everyone's desires long enough.
I am starting to follow my God
And His will for my being.
Personal metamorphosis is occurring-
And it is scaring me
Nothing is and was as it seemed.
I am developing vigilance
And wisdom due to this sudden change
My willingness to open up is changing as well
I am finished with resisting my transformation ...

Synchronization
All the universe
Synchronizes
When you close your eyes
And open the mind
All is well
With the world
When you feel the love
For one another
These small moments
Are enjoyed
With laughter
With tears
And subsiding of all fears
I am one with this existence
When all the cells
On this plane
Arise and combine
Come journey with me
To a place
Where time does not exist
Only emotion stands
And ego falls
We are one together

Dream - 05/22/2023
This is it
You and me
In this dream
Nothing is
What it seems
Here and now
I'll show you how
Through my dreams
I will write them down
Come with me
Expand the dream
Nothing was
What it seemed
Though this life
I'll shed this strife
And cut with my words
Like a knife
No more shame
No more hurt
I live my dreams
And yours in turn
You and me
In this dream
Nothing is
What it seems
Here and now
I'll show you how
Through my dreams
I will write them down
Come with me
Expand the dream
Nothing was
What it seemed
Though this life
I'll shed this strife
And cut with my words
Like a knife
No more shame
No more hurt
I live my dreams
And yours in turn

I Forgive You - 12/17/2019
I forgive you-
I forgive you for expecting that
You would see
All I am becoming in my life
No matter how many times
I have seemingly failed in your eyes
I have learned and came so far
You, on the other hand
You have taught me all
In which I choose not to be
You have continously shown me hatred and selfish thoughts
Reflecting the past continously
You never have seen and felt the here and now
May I strive better...

Hide or Thrive - 05/02/2019
I want to share a peice
From the puzzle I am slowly reshaping,
And fitting into place
May you seperate worry
Fear filled thoughts
With the never ending love
Of our Creator
May the darkness die
Somehow suddenly perishing
Before it can ever reach your vicinity
The light over flows and spreads-
The darkness must find weak spots-
You choose:
•Hide or Thrive•

Message To My Highest - 04/29/2023
Lord,
I am worthy of this healing,
For I am not alone.
Your's is the calming voice,
That always leads me home...
You lead me gently,
And never treat me cruel.
My peace is an anchor,
My love from you; a tool.
My voice carries your message,
May I listen and relay it accurate.
Through my healing and self-love,
My energy is positively immaculate.
I will always call your name,
No matter the mountain or storm-
You are the rushing wave,
That guides me back...
