POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Expressing myself in words is one of my most valuable skills.
Story of my life
I'm seeing lines
In the mirror
They tell of times
I can't remember
Life time of lines
Tell each story on my face
The tales may be forgotten
But these lines; I can't erase.
It's a strange thing
When silence brings
You to wondering
Have the days gone by
Just slipped right by
Without noticing
Time was drawing lines
With all my history
Keeping place across my face
I'm too young to be old
I'm too bold to be wise
But it's written 'round my eyes
I'm starting to realize
The age that's...
In the mirror
They tell of times
I can't remember
Life time of lines
Tell each story on my face
The tales may be forgotten
But these lines; I can't erase.
It's a strange thing
When silence brings
You to wondering
Have the days gone by
Just slipped right by
Without noticing
Time was drawing lines
With all my history
Keeping place across my face
I'm too young to be old
I'm too bold to be wise
But it's written 'round my eyes
I'm starting to realize

Rare occasion (song edit)
Glowing stars and moon
Blowing cool night breeze
Flowing waves on water
Toes on the beach, in the sand
Walking hand in hand
A rare occasion of me and you
Almost too good to be true
You said "like shooting stars
That come around
Something special can be found
On rare occasions
Sharing ourselves; souls in motion
Words that we said; softly spoken
In tidal waves of explicit devotion
Came unexpected results of emotion

Mr Rock Star
Hey, Mr Rock Star
You played me like a song
Breaking a young girls heart
Seems to me, that seems to be
Your favorite tune in perfect key
Your struggling art
Is tearing hearts apart
You sold a lie to me
Along side your suck-ass, 3 track CD
In a down-town, bluesy bar
Lights and smoke, too much to drink
You were playing your red guitar
I was looking but didn't think
Taking your shirt off would take me that far
I fell head over heels for a rock star
Hey, Mr Rock Star
You know you did me wrong
Planned it from the...

All I got left of you
I wrote a song today
It had the same tired lines
Page after page after page
I try, but the words won't change
I got these same tired eyes
It's been nothing new
Since the day you went away
Can't seem to shake what I can't seem to say
So It's been sad, sappy love songs
And I fit the shoe
Of a broken hearted girl
Pining after you
I cried more tears today
Smeared mascara down my face
I weep and I weep and I weep
Even time can't take this away
How long will I be missing
You
How long will I be...

So It's been sad, sappy love songs
And I fit the shoe

I cried more tears today
Smeared mascara down my face
I weep and I weep and I weep
Even time can't take this away
How long will I be missing
You

Wish I could forget
There's no going back
But I can't move ahead
I'm just stuck running memories around in my head
And scratching it all down on paper
Every sound, every word, everything that you said
But now I wish I could
I wish I could
I wish I could forget
I wish I could forget you
I still see your face
Can't seem to erase
The mental stash of photographs
I can't help but retrace
Pacing the floors trying trying not to remember
Every touch, every kiss and the love that we made
And now I wish I could
I wish I could
I wish I...
But I can't move ahead
I'm just stuck running memories around in my head

I wish I could forget you
I still see your face
Can't seem to erase

I can't help but retrace
Pacing the floors trying trying not to remember
Every touch, every kiss and the love that we made
And now I wish I could
I wish I could

Words in a Lump
You'll forever be going away
I'll always be saying goodbye
Fear made a faucet with nothing to say--
But tears 'till they run my eyes dry
I'll always have words left to say when--
Words got stuck in a lump in my throat
I tried to tell you again, but--
Fear even stuck in the note that I wrote
I guess there's no going back to say;
Sorrowful, sappy, sadly surprised
I missed any chances I had that day
Pitifully draining the tears from my eyes
You'll forever be going away
I'll always be saying goodbye

Take me away
Lets do it again
That natural sin
That place where you take me away
Lets spend the night
Perfecting the plight
Of taking each other away
I love the place
The emotional race
On the tips of our lips;
We can't say
Take me again
That place where we've been
That place where you take me away
That natural sin
That place where you take me away
Lets spend the night
Perfecting the plight
Of taking each other away
I love the place
The emotional race
On the tips of our lips;
We can't say
Take me again
That place where we've been
That place where you take me away

I'm winning the race
Deep breath, deep breath
Steady my thoughts
Slow down my pace
One step at a time
I'm winning the race
Deep breath, deep breath
Reminding myself:
No challenge too hard
No problem unsolved
No pressure too heavy
Or burden evolved
Deep breath, deep breath
Trusting myself:
My powerful will
Inate intuition
Intelligent reason
Resilient ambition
Deep breath, deep breath
Strategic in stride
When going gets tough;
There's strength in my pride...

Beauty is only skin deep
Beauty is only skin deep
But ugly runs straight to the bone
I remember the day
My grandmother said
The words that made me a lady
Beauty is only skin deep
Hair will turn gray
Skin will go dull
Youth fades away
What's left when you're old?
People can see who you are
Your actions speak louder than words
And they may see beauty afar
But come 40, that goes to the birds!
Ugly runs straight to the bone
Your beauty stays fair
If you start with your heart
And primp it...
But ugly runs straight to the bone
I remember the day
My grandmother said
The words that made me a lady
Beauty is only skin deep
Hair will turn gray
Skin will go dull
Youth fades away
What's left when you're old?
People can see who you are
Your actions speak louder than words
And they may see beauty afar
But come 40, that goes to the birds!
Ugly runs straight to the bone
Your beauty stays fair
If you start with your heart
And primp it...

Beauty is Where I Belong
This is what beauty should be
Knowing that none would agree
In beauty, my heart found a home
You are so beautiful to me
Every curve of your face
The words that you say
The movements you make
Beauty; that's all I can see
Feel of your skin
Strength of your arms
Soft lips pressing in
Grace in your charms
Brightness of eyes
Articulate talk
Strong family ties
Stern, steady walk
Caring in thought
Honest in deed
The battles you fought
Your heart still in need
This is beauty...

Parts of me
Too much, too soon
I'm afraid
Parts of me, I gave away
The parts of me
I put away
Convincingly believing
Secure in where they stay
I learned to do without
Imprisoned parts of me:
Passionate cries, secret thoughts
Close connection, tender caring
Intimate embrace and open sharing
You found me
Parts with lock and key
Submissively allowing
You undid these parts of me
At such surprising speed
all else failed
But you achieved
To free these parts of me
Not wanting to regret ...

Where did you come from?
Where did you come from?
I know the place can't be near
See; I've been here
A real long time
And folks like you
are hard to find
So, where did you come from?
It has to be a brilliant place
Where someone like you comes from
Wondering why you came this way
Hoping you decide to stay
Where did you come from?
It's obvious for me to see
You just aren't like the rest
Standing in a crowded room
But all I see is you
Where did you come from?
I've never seen a thing so rare
Bet you don't even know ...
