POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I've been writing poetry for years. Some crap and some good but still trying to improve
Gone
Come find me
I’m waiting…Been waiting
But you know that
You know what’s in my heart
So fucking show me already
Show me your grace
Show me what you promise
I know your promises
Seen them…felt them….spoken of them
Come find me
Pour your love over
Shed my tears
Those you cause me
But refuse to let them fall from my own eyes
I’ve fought for you
Battle the demons you let your Nemesis send my way
Fought them-Locked’n’loaded
Denied them
On the edge
They seem to have everything
Without giving
I’ve given myself...
I’m waiting…Been waiting
But you know that
You know what’s in my heart
So fucking show me already
Show me your grace
Show me what you promise
I know your promises
Seen them…felt them….spoken of them
Come find me
Pour your love over
Shed my tears
Those you cause me
But refuse to let them fall from my own eyes
I’ve fought for you
Battle the demons you let your Nemesis send my way
Fought them-Locked’n’loaded
Denied them
On the edge
They seem to have everything
Without giving

Patiently Waiting
I don't know what to say
Even more, I don't know what to pray
I want to be angry at God
I don't want to admit to being just that-Just a bit
If I do, will He deny this job I seek,
that I've felt was just for me?
I know He closes doors that are the wrong ones to open,
and He opens those He knows is the better one to travel
That knowledge doesn't ease the pain,
This pain will be fleeting as soon as we see
Exactly where He'll lead
Guilt will overcome then for unbelieving
Shame for lack of Faith and Trust
But, is it lack of that, when I trust...

A Girl Named Daisy
Paleness as white snow
Sunny yellow makes her shine
I’d love to make this Daisy mine
She whispers her secrets to the wind
Creating the gentle breeze across my skin
I’m blinded by her glow
She dances to the beat of nature’s drum
Her smiles light up the darkness
Pushing through life’s crazy mess
Standing tall with amazing love
In my heart she does not know she’s my beloved
Skipping back to whence she came from
Sunny yellow makes her shine
I’d love to make this Daisy mine
She whispers her secrets to the wind
Creating the gentle breeze across my skin
I’m blinded by her glow
She dances to the beat of nature’s drum
Her smiles light up the darkness
Pushing through life’s crazy mess
Standing tall with amazing love
In my heart she does not know she’s my beloved
Skipping back to whence she came from

Unshed Tears
Salty liquid sliding down
One side for a man I've never known
The other for my Daddy
The tears he will hold back
The one's he refuses to shed for himself
For the pain he feels
Loss he won't acknowledge
Constricted chest- This for his he pushes back down
Keep breathing in and out
The show of life must go on
No need to cry-Let it show
So, I shed tears for you, for your loss, your pain
I will feel it for you
The man you are-Must always stay strong
One side for a man I've never known
The other for my Daddy
The tears he will hold back
The one's he refuses to shed for himself
For the pain he feels
Loss he won't acknowledge
Constricted chest- This for his he pushes back down
Keep breathing in and out
The show of life must go on
No need to cry-Let it show
So, I shed tears for you, for your loss, your pain
I will feel it for you
The man you are-Must always stay strong

Hallow's Night
Deafening silence radiating around
Lost I’ve become in this quiet night
Tingles creeping all over, my arms first to my tired toes
Heart pounding; I hear it first, feel it second
Emptiness except these glowing eyes and smiles
Brightly lit through the hollow cave of a child’s pumpkin
It’s evil eyes staring at me from every angle as I move
Living for this season of evil thrills and frightened screams
Tricks and candy teasing the palates and the mind
The children have left for home as I search for what I’ve seem to have lost
To dream not of sugar plums...

Reverse
While you gave me your best
I gave you my worst
You’ve seen me at my bottom
Loved me anyway
I took you for granted
And still, I ask you to stay
Unworthy I am of your love
And even more your forgiveness
My beautiful Love
I’ve hurt you, cut you way down deep
Our love fit, once tight as a glove
I broke us- cracked our bubble
But through it all you, I’d like to keep
Not this anger filling me up and causing me trouble
I gave you my worst
And today I turn us in reverse
I’ll give you my best
It’s what you deserve
Treat you...

Oblivion
Dark blue sky sparkling with twinkles
Effortless in making me dizzy
As I stare upward
Flying higher and higher
Soaring over the ocean so salty
Desire to be swept into the oblivion
Tossing reality aside
But there is one
To keep me grounded
Unborn and waiting
Someone else’s prayer answered
Certainly not my own
Making me queasy and later named Teasy
She’s lifted up and blessed
Ready to fight and overcome Judas
Finally here this quiet and noiseless
Home is filled with cries and joy
Mixed with tiredness ...

Shadow Demon
Icicle tears frozen on my chapped cheeks
Eyes closed wearily
I’m cold and empty now
Heart and spirit beaten and battered
Bundled in the only sweater I own
As the twinkling snow falls all around
Completely numb, I’ve gone
Resting on this cold wet bench
Curious where it came from
Lighted by this shining light
But my light is dimmed by a shadowy figure
A figure I haven’t seen in years
A Ouija game gone amiss
We played and laughed never believing
But walking home late that winter night
This shadowy figure behind me the entire time...

Dying to not be Shy
I’m not strong
I’m weak
I will break in the face of heartache
Crash and crumble
Spiraling down in a corner
Like a child
Letting my tears spill
Heart pounding- Uncontrollable
My voice choking; coughing, screaming
Dry and cracked from my hearts pain
Shaking body; tired and worn
Desire for damage
Rain, wind, fire and hail
The storm inside to be let out
Causing the destruction of my pain
Longing for death
End this suffering
Because I am not strong
Do not know how to be
Trying again and again
Only to be beaten down...

Cursed
Was love enough to break this curse?
Only in the children’s version
So I’ll tell you what really occurred
They came to the castle prepared for a fight
They’d already hung a noose around his neck
A war they wanted and a war we’d give
It was hunker down time and hunker we did
We gathered our supplies to battle their pitch forks and knives
They didn’t see us coming
Expecting to win but how wrong they were
Love conquers all is what we’ve been told
True or untrue I guess we’ll see
Can our love so true conquer their crew?
Our fight has...

Beautiful Rage
Rage flowing within
Never ceasing
Knife-like nails scratching, clawing
Spinning in circles; catching the front, the back
Bleeding within bubbling outward
Spilling to become bloody tears
Screaming, crying unable to be controlled
Vibrating body created by anger, resentment and hate
Loathing unknown before burning outside in
The fire only surging; it’s this devil’s power; energy
Words whispered upward and out
Hateful, spiteful and disastrous
Trapped for months praying for relief
Praying for death for one of us
Evil and hate growing from...

Flowers in the Rain
Once cherished and beautiful
Nourished with love and hope
Vibrant colors that once were
They exist only in the memory
Death came stealing their colors
Stealing their existence
Drops of purity dancing, bouncing off their wilted petals
Hopes of breathing the breath of life again
Shattered hope by the wind
Tossing the life serum aside; away
Each single petal reaching desperately
Searching for a tiny taste; just enough to begin again
Unsuccessfully
I toss this new bouquet down
To let Mother Nature exact my revenge
These flowers shall...
