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.

I See
Gather your little heart
Come with me
Let it be free
Against all the harshness I still see
Climb inside the universe of my soul
Painting rainbows in your hair
I could be the magic that you need
Come with me
Let it be free
Against all the harshness I still see
Climb inside the universe of my soul
Painting rainbows in your hair
I could be the magic that you need

Father Knows Best
I put on my Sunday best
Wait by the door have my bible rest at my side
With my skinned up knees and little party dress
Today is my birthday I feel extra nice
My mother polished my shoes and bought me fancy ruffled socks
I await with anticipation to head to my church
A place to feel protected this I’m sure
It is such a warm day I feel the sun kiss my youthful skin
Can’t believe I’m twelve today
Thoughts race through my head
I wonder if they will remember and do something special?
Will I get a new bible for mine is tattered and the cover is...
Wait by the door have my bible rest at my side

Foot Of My Bed
When I go to sleep
I place my rib cage under my bed
My bones are heavy yet weightless
This is not the place to be
Burdened with a sorrow that devours me
It wont be long and my heart will follow
Pumping at the foot of my bed
As I lay still and hear the beat
I can feel the hesitation
I can taste the defeat
I place my rib cage under my bed
My bones are heavy yet weightless
This is not the place to be
Burdened with a sorrow that devours me
It wont be long and my heart will follow
Pumping at the foot of my bed
As I lay still and hear the beat
I can feel the hesitation
I can taste the defeat

Smear The Shadow
I bear a breast beneath his finger
Whispering over the music
One thousand sweet tiny kisses
A symphony of delicious screams
Frantic with beauty that has been left unseen
Chanting a love language by luscious wind
Through insignificant cries
One will recall
The urge to smear the shadows out to sea
Paint diamonds through the forest
Smelling the sweet skin
Worship, swim and run through me
Whispering over the music
One thousand sweet tiny kisses
A symphony of delicious screams
Frantic with beauty that has been left unseen
Chanting a love language by luscious wind
Through insignificant cries
One will recall
The urge to smear the shadows out to sea
Paint diamonds through the forest
Smelling the sweet skin
Worship, swim and run through me

Asleep In The Wind
I float away from love letting it flea
Strolling after summer songs looking for relief
Through the nights of sweet blue birds
Under the daffodils I reside
Where the earth blossoms and hears my cries
We suppress a thousand years of lies
Her shadow sleeping in the wind
Storming over the raw language of love
Moaning with that dark drunk tongue
Always bitter with delirious skin
Torn petals on my flesh
Lick beneath the pink suit
Smooth whispers and the smell of the moon
As crushed flowers weep
Goodness still soars
As our dreams...
Strolling after summer songs looking for relief

Moaning with that dark drunk tongue
Always bitter with delirious skin
Torn petals on my flesh

American Mask
You oppressed, egotistical , ignorant, uneducated , biased self
Living in the box of conformity
I want to stitch your tongue on the roof of your mouth to silence you
I refuse to coincide to everyday traditionalist events
I won’t be a victim of someone’s else’s mistake
Hostilities and intimidation it polluted you dirty little mind
There is nothing unique about conventional clothes
Poverty ridden the abyss makes me rage
Dreaded emaciated void that overflows with pain
No one is thriving but this phantom pain that you feel is real
Bleak and...

Divulge Me
The path is jagged and so I have been told
I feel so pathetic feel so old
The canvas I started is thrown on the floor
The room is full of smoke
I cant help feel distressed
I’m hesitant of this mind of mine
I try and surrender but I cant find the time
When all is said and all is gone
Will I see you? Will you fall at my feet?
With pieces of me upon the mountains for only you to keep
I never tried to stay
I knew what I had to do
Wanting to inhale you into a line straight into my mind
Through amethyst moons and fields of love
You...

30 Odd 6 On A Sunday Morning
I sit in the pew
Early Sunday morning
Looking at everyone dressed so nice
With thoughts invading my mind
Some are impure yet, I continue to pray
With my hands trembling
I wish he knew
As little children try not to make a sound
They stomp their little feet upon the ground
There parents say hush
I really hope you are here
Watching over me in this cruel complicated world
If he knew I was here
I would be black and blue
This is the only place, where I feel peace and new
Among people who really care
Not like him with his...

Vacant Skin I'm In
How can you expect me to accept my own skin?
It left when I started to sin
Ran from the remains of my childhood parts
Gave them to you in the silence of the dark
Let me tell you there is no drug that will dull this pain
Yet I would do it again
As you traced the freckles that cross my back
Like small ants hunting for grub
I felt special and pretty and small
I have never experienced that feeling since
Kisses that made me weak
I never felt robbed of my youth
That was how you manipulated me so
I made such a good wife in your make belief ...

Harvest Of Hardships
You may think that I don’t know what love is
But I asked the sky the flowers and the trees
They all had an explanation for me
The sky spoke in a low hush tone
Whispering to me I will never be alone
That when I feel secluded I’m surrounded by peace and quiet sounds
That I shall never feel alone
The flowers told me something I once knew before I wore scars
Sometimes you will see beauty in someone
But as the layers fades it reveals the truth
The trees stood brilliant by my side
It held me with its undergrowth pulling me near
It told me...

Painted With Blood
Sitting on the front porch, the light wind is tickling my hair
I see you with the kids and think of us, and where we have been
The life were trying to get right
We would walk the streets hand in hand
Picking daises to put in my hair
Long conversations over dinner and wine
Such a mystery you were
Years later you became defeated
That day that was tragic and real
I know that the voices admired you most
We could not escape
With medications that made you high
While others made you sleep all day
Watching your decline was so hard to see...
