POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Expressing myself in words is one of my most valuable skills.
Who knew what September would bring
I thought I had life figured out
But my senses were long draining dry
Moving around, but barely alive
I caught sight of a small candle light
When I heard you singing your song
Who knew what September would bring
You came along
With a light and a song
It keeps getting brighter
Even after you're gone
The music is louder
All I can do is keep humming your tune
Sit around in the light, just thinking of you
What do I do with this flame?
I Wish I could put it out
Because life's not the same
To see...
But my senses were long draining dry
Moving around, but barely alive
I caught sight of a small candle light

It keeps getting brighter
Even after you're gone
The music is louder
All I can do is keep humming your tune
Sit around in the light, just thinking of you

I Wish I could put it out

They know
The tide is high
The stakes are too
They're worn and tired
With so much to lose
He knows he's made mistakes
She knows she's made them too
He says she's not the same
She says he'll never change
And now, the tide is finally coming in
She's looking out, he's looking in
And they know, ya they know
They won't
Ever find the same again
Not giving up, but not giving in
And they know, ya they know
The tide is coming in
The tide is high
The stakes are too
They're worn and tired
With so much to lose

You're just not him
I'm sorry, my friend
But you're just not him.
When you kissed me last night
By the street corner light
I was saying his name in the back of my mind
I tried to picture his face
While you were looking at mine
Those were flattering lines
And nice words to say
While you were begging me to stay
Because you just can't stand a minute of time away
But even your best attempts just can't erase
What's really on my mind
These are all the things I wish he would say
And why, oh why, can't he feel this way
You see, my friend

My Pillow Has You're name -revised
I've been working on this one....I think it's getting there! Intended for lyrics.
Remembering yesterday
But it seems so far away
The press of your kiss on my lips
My head at rest on your chest
My memories seem more like a dream every day
When I lay my head down at night
My arms need something to hold
So I clutch my pillow tight
Close my eyes
Remember yesterday
Picture that sweet smile on your face
But now you've gone away
And my pillow has your name
My whispers in the dark
They go unheard
My...

Sense
My heart keeps fooling my mind
I leave good sense behind
When I've got you on my mind
It's hard to know when
I should try and forget again
I can't make any sense
As to why
I can't seem to convince
My heart into saying goodbye
I know you say that we're history
Maybe I agree
But can't get my heart to see
That you just aren't good for me
Maybe I got no sense
Or maybe I really believe
There's more to see
Of you and me
My heart keeps fooling my mind
I leave good sense behind
When I've got you on my mind...
I leave good sense behind
When I've got you on my mind
It's hard to know when
I should try and forget again
I can't make any sense

I can't seem to convince
My heart into saying goodbye
I know you say that we're history
Maybe I agree
But can't get my heart to see
That you just aren't good for me
Maybe I got no sense
Or maybe I really believe
There's more to see
Of you and me
My heart keeps fooling my mind
I leave good sense behind
When I've got you on my mind...

I don't know why
Written as song lyrics
I've never seen a thing so rare
That night I saw you standing there
All your flaws in collection
Make complete perfection
It took just a look
To make our connection
Two wounded hearts
Together make perfect art
But fear tore us apart
I'll try for the rest of my life
Find a way to get back to you
But it's like trying to find
the end of the sky
I don't why
Our hearts always choose
What we know we're gonna lose
To have loved and lost is better they say
But they...

Find a way to get back to you
But it's like trying to find
the end of the sky

What we know we're gonna lose

Burn or fly?
You found me on the edge
The flames are burning high
I'm not wearing the right shoes
For chasing after you
I could turn to face the sky
But I'm not ready for goodbye
There's nowhere I could fly
That would get me over you
It all comes down to what I'm gonna do
I got some new good shoes
And now I have to choose
Win or lose
Take the chance or say goodbye
Face the flames or face the sky
Do I burn or do I fly?
I'd put on my good shoes
And walk through fire after you
I'd walk through fire
Chasing after you
It's so...
The flames are burning high
I'm not wearing the right shoes
For chasing after you
I could turn to face the sky
But I'm not ready for goodbye
There's nowhere I could fly
That would get me over you
It all comes down to what I'm gonna do
I got some new good shoes
And now I have to choose
Win or lose
Take the chance or say goodbye
Face the flames or face the sky
Do I burn or do I fly?
I'd put on my good shoes
And walk through fire after you
I'd walk through fire
Chasing after you
It's so...

Ok, I'm working in this song...this is def a rough draft. Any feedback or ideas are welcome!
I like the way you choose your words
You got descriptive verbs
Find ways to say impossible things
I like the way you talk to me
Sharing thoughts elaborately
Make ways to say just what you mean
You got me hanging on your every word
Scratching down everything I heard
I could write a book on you
Teach the world a thing or two
Eloquence, common sense
Magnetic charm, intelligence
Sexy slang, adult content ...

Where You Left Me
You can find me where you left me
I'll be waiting right here
Time flies and seasons change
But my heart stays the same
I'm right here
Still calling out your name
Oh honey, I've been thinking
Got my mind on overdrive
If I could fly a thousand miles
be like superman and turn back time
I would fly right back to you
If you'd give me a chance
Oh baby, I remember
All our time; short but sweet
If I could, I'd pay the price
Work off the debt on my own two feet
I would leave the world behind
If you were by my...
I'll be waiting right here
Time flies and seasons change

be like superman and turn back time
I would fly right back to you
If you'd give me a chance

All our time; short but sweet
If I could, I'd pay the price
Work off the debt on my own two feet

The first of anything
I like the first of everything
First time, first trip, first place
I hold each one with splendor;
The first of anything
First look or first embrace
They always bring a feeling
A new and fresh replace
For empty, darker space
A special time for me;
The first of anything
First time, first trip, first place
I hold each one with splendor;
The first of anything
First look or first embrace
They always bring a feeling
A new and fresh replace
For empty, darker space
A special time for me;
The first of anything

Find me where you left me
(Chorus)
You can find me where you left me
I'll be waiting right here
