POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Just a girl
I’m frightened
of what I cannot see
of the pain inside
that won’t go away.
I like coral pink
And my nails shiny
The sun in the sky
And the birds melody;
I love dressing up
Just to see your eyes flicker
The smell of perfume
Sparkle of fireworks
I love cuddles that never end
Being curled up in your body
It’s safe there.
I try to be stone
And not let it get to me
My silence a retreat
Not you personally.
But today I’m just a girl
A wide-eyed possum...
Just your girl.

I love cuddles that never end
Being curled up in your body
It’s safe there.

And not let it get to me
My silence a retreat

You're not my happiness
I may have rolled, kicked and yelled
just to find a higher perch
closer to the blue sky.
I’ve clawed, hoped and sung,
from daybreak to dusk begun
just don’t mistake...
My fight for brightness
freedom and the right to be
you’re not my happiness
it’s not your responsibility see?
I may have cried, faded and hushed
because the waves seemed so high
pulling me under tight.
I’ve struggled, bucked and danced
But not one to be silenced
Just don’t mistake...
My fight for brightness
Freedom and the right to be
You’re...

Fire night
I watched the flames lick the wood,
the sensual caress dance across
how it should...
the floating embers and soot
that graced,
the shadows as they fell across your face.
the coals simmer and flicker
with heat...
my heart falls into sync with your beat.
staring into the fire tonight I knew,
this is me, and
forever to you.

Welcome back
Rays of light have started to crack
your foggy veneer,
They light up the gold in my hair
that you've unpinned and let
fall upon my shoulders.
Trepidation moves your fingers gently
over my skin, finding the places
that you seek forgiveness,
It was only sadness you
had to recover my shadow from.
Salaciously we find each other
Noses touching, inhaling
the sharp breaths that escape
open wet mouths,
Pulses quicken, a welcomed applause...
Wrapped up in everything 'you'
Daylight cannot part our bodies
Nor would I be...

Sex is different
Limiting me to only once a day
almost like you don’t need me?
so you told me why;
You need to feel
electricity through your haze...
Time increases intensity.
You hold me tightly like
I’m sand slipping through your fingers;
Kissing my mouth with such fever...
Those sapphire blue eyes open
and searching my face for
my pleasure.
Beautiful man,
You are my pleasure.

Snap
If there was a way I could
absolve what you’re going through,
dull the sharpness of the stress
that cuts and shreds your insides
keeping you from sleep,
keeping you from giving
yourself freely and without
the undertone of psychosis;
then I would.
Jokingly you’re Mr Furious...
Hearing you laugh is magic
the baritone rise out of your belly.
It’s a sound now fleeting like
the fading of an echo
down the ward halls I fear you in.
A self imposed sanctuary
that blocks out the insanity
that deletes me from you.

You make me feel like
You make me feel like
My feet can’t touch the ground
Something solid to stand on
But I prefer the helium high
(that I get when you’re around...)
You make me feel like
My smile cannot face a frown
Something too serious to muster
But I prefer the wrinkle lines
(that I get when you’re around...)
But you feel like:
Some kind of sugar high
that won’t come crashing down
(crashing down)
The melted syrup kind
Licked off my fingers
A deliciously perfect find...
You make me feel like
I can be or say anything aloud...
My feet can’t touch the ground

Geneva
Arriving last night
into a war zone,
a blazing sauce pot
of sizable tensions
dark sentiments
with half-baked sweetness...
The three of you
each a world onto your own,
gravity by blood ties
tides and magnetism prevalent,
clashing and rupturing
your interactions necessary.
A wine and kiss for you,
a separation of the other two
negotiations: aloe vera to sunburn...
no further hostiles required.
you called me Geneva,
even a treaty with your exwife.

Silent
The creature you wanted
is finally free,
but your hand is closed?
Your eyes cannot see...
You have everything now
Maybe this is just a stumble?
Don’t leave her unattended,
Behind, she’ll crumble...
She needs your love
Not your wide-eyed ‘like’
This delicate being
has no petrol for fight.
You’ll notice the silence
and the glitter gone,
the magic leaves with her
And warmth you’ll mourn.
Her scent will haunt you
And mess with your head,
You’ll feel empty over
what you shoulda coulda said.

While you sleep
The moon casts shadowed light
across your face as you sleep,
watching your eyelids flicker
and body wince.
I can feel your warmth
And the dampness of the sheets
Night terrors plague you
Your heart faster it beats...
Placing my hand on your chest
comforting maybe?
Curling in tight, hopefully
dulling the intensity
Of what rampages within Your mind...
A stilling sigh escapes your
parted lips, muscles relaxing
Sinking into the mattress...
Guess it’s not a bad thing
that slumber has not claimed me
I will not...

No more goodbyes
So nice that "goodbye" in the morning
Isn't I’ll see you in 7 days;
merely a salutation
for the work day,
a prelude to dinner
to the taste of wine
to the warmth of your cuddles
the sight of your goofy smile.
The suburban dream
to come home to you
or you to me...
The crackling of gravel
marking the arrival
of the one that completes
the other.
