POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm honest and real and that's all I can be. I have been writing poetry since I was seven. I don't normally put myself out there but I guess its not a secret anymore.
My Scars Are My Dress
Today I did a hippie flip
Was clear out of my mind
Seen myself walk by and didn’t know why
The trees were talking they made so much sense ‘
People that surrounded me look liked a fence
Trying to keep out those who are around
Watching the clouds dance and fall to the ground
Forever high we burned until we almost died
I should show you the scars I wear as a dress
You show distress
You don’t have to watch me fall
I can fly watch me as I crawl
Nobody can do it all
Watch all the pain drain
Watch me as I go
I’ll escape...

Scarlet Blood
You sure look pretty in that shade of blue
When my hands touch you and what they make you do
When will you listen to the sound of my voice?
Do I need to drown that defiance out of you?
Let me touch your breasts whenever I feel
Don’t act like you don’t like it
It will be fine
Close your baby blue eyes
Want me to cover your mouth?
Nobody will hear you scream
If you do I will really show you what I mean
The scarlet blood is so pretty on your delicate face
Are you worthy for anyone but me?
I don’t think so and you’ll never be free ...

Weeds Inside Of Me
I come down from the ozone
So I can see me
I don't like to feel
It's much to real
So I take another sip
Down a handful of pills
Close my eyes and scream
As my thoughts spin me around
Then I'm on the ground
Consuming the dirt and debris
That lives inside of me
As weeds sprout inside my stomach
With vines that choke my innards and intrude
I have skin that I use a cover
To protect my sins
So I can see me
I don't like to feel
It's much to real
So I take another sip
Down a handful of pills
Close my eyes and scream
As my thoughts spin me around
Then I'm on the ground
Consuming the dirt and debris
That lives inside of me
As weeds sprout inside my stomach
With vines that choke my innards and intrude
I have skin that I use a cover
To protect my sins

Glass In The Atmosphere
I settle closing my eyes
Go to the edge of the earth and I dive
I don’t descend quickly like I intend to
I’m suspended in air with no flight
My body is immobile yet my mind is frantic with expectation
I ask myself am I still alive ?
For this is what I fear
Surrounded by clouds that trap me
I don’t want to shelter my fall
I need to feel what is real
My fingers intertwine with the atmosphere
For moments that seem to pass by
I observe the radiance of the sky
The place where the stars live and the sun dies
But nothing can...

Far From Perfect
I'm not flawless nor do I claim to be
I'm proud of the fact that I am a woman in deed
My body isn't small in fact I'm wide
I have large hips and a full chest
I'm not one of these girls that walk around and pretend to be unreal
Nor do I want to be perfect because skinny girls feel pain too
It don't make you any prettier than me
When a man holds me he can feel complete
I will represent all that is true
That loving someone regardless of there size is the TRUTH
I'm proud of the fact that I am a woman in deed
My body isn't small in fact I'm wide
I have large hips and a full chest
I'm not one of these girls that walk around and pretend to be unreal
Nor do I want to be perfect because skinny girls feel pain too
It don't make you any prettier than me
When a man holds me he can feel complete
I will represent all that is true
That loving someone regardless of there size is the TRUTH

Born To Bleed Poetry
Through a gentle path
Beneath a sanctuary
The soul full of harmony
The smooth river rain
Sweet season you relax
Let be let it sing
Thick mountain dusk
Blossoms into a secret spirit that will seed and then vine
A wild life yet pure
See it shine
Climb, thrive and never wither under this fight
Remember this delicious decay
Linger only as we kiss
Born to bleed poetry
Devour and bring them peace
Beneath a sanctuary
The soul full of harmony
The smooth river rain
Sweet season you relax
Let be let it sing
Thick mountain dusk
Blossoms into a secret spirit that will seed and then vine
A wild life yet pure
See it shine
Climb, thrive and never wither under this fight
Remember this delicious decay
Linger only as we kiss
Born to bleed poetry
Devour and bring them peace

Tremble Little Bird
With shades of black across my face
I peek with my blue eyes to let me free
Like I bird I could escape
Yet the cage is closed so tight
Although I can see the sky is clear
With all the ringing in my ears
Whispers of your love speak so quietly, yet so harsh
I want to remove your heart so that it don’t beat anymore
Wash the filth of you off my skin
I shall go fly into the wind
If my wings begin to tremble and I grow weak
I will remember the shades of black you wanted me to keep
I peek with my blue eyes to let me free
Like I bird I could escape
Yet the cage is closed so tight
Although I can see the sky is clear
With all the ringing in my ears
Whispers of your love speak so quietly, yet so harsh
I want to remove your heart so that it don’t beat anymore
Wash the filth of you off my skin
I shall go fly into the wind
If my wings begin to tremble and I grow weak
I will remember the shades of black you wanted me to keep

Kiss The Carcass
I said I would follow you anywhere you go
Down the road of hopelessness with needles in your arm
I hold you and make it true
Try and play the part
Gratifying magic that invades my soul tends me to the core
In the alleys we all lay down
On the corner I search for home
Blood that has submerged into the soil
Where I swim in the gutter of what I once knew
Yet I stand beside you every step of the way
Living this deception you have me blurred
Trying to convince myself you don’t need me
The cold metal that kisses my porcelain veins
I...

Silence Has No Sound
What is the sound of a heartache?
A bird whispers then dies
What is the sound of a heart break?
Maybe silence, it has no sound
Singing to the heavens
Something so sweet
A melody that can drift you away
Give you freedom and love
A bird whispers then dies
What is the sound of a heart break?
Maybe silence, it has no sound
Singing to the heavens
Something so sweet
A melody that can drift you away
Give you freedom and love

Float In Your Throat
In the darkness with your honey colored skin
That was welted and warm
It surrounded me
I knew how I felt
Quietly I said a prayer under my breathe
Let this be real make me alive
Eyes that felt like home just where I belong
Connected to you at last
Your lips taste exquisite
I sketched you several times in my head
You empower me making me forget
I erase all that I know
This blood that runs through me leaving me half dead
I need to let the past be anew
Letting you lay so peacefully and still
I ache with wonder what would I do...
That was welted and warm

This blood that runs through me leaving me half dead
I need to let the past be anew
Letting you lay so peacefully and still

Season Of The Song
Delicious color through the porcelain sky
Among sacred desires
Untamed with velvet poison
A blanket of moss
As the fertile moon is gently bright
Deep beneath when nothing is right
A world of beautiful lonely rivers
Nature is how life grows
Withers and leaves peace between
Poetry is the season of the song
When all feels wrong
Among sacred desires
Untamed with velvet poison
A blanket of moss
As the fertile moon is gently bright
Deep beneath when nothing is right
A world of beautiful lonely rivers
Nature is how life grows
Withers and leaves peace between
Poetry is the season of the song
When all feels wrong

The Fret Of Fear
The music dances in the light
In the corner someone holds a microphone
I don’t seem to know anyone here
The whiskey taste so fresh
My head is not so clear
I close my eyes hoping to find some part of me
I often wonder if someone is watching me?
Seeing the imperfections in my face
Studying my eyes and singing me the blues
Its hazy in here as I inhale the stale air
Gasping for a reason to survive
I can hear glasses clanging people yelling “cheers”
My head disappears soon my heart will follow
The time seems to stand still
I look...
