POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I don't consider myself a poet. But when I write, my heart speaks and for me that is enough.
The River
The river always did run between us,
A natural divide.
But we never saw it that way.
The river was just an obstacle for us to
Conquer.
So we did and we found each other.
But the river always came back in other forms,
Taking the place of that natural divide
We thought we had beaten.
Soon the new river won.
Each one's river bank now a foreign land
Where we didn't speak each others' language.
And there was no Rosetta Stone.
A natural divide.
But we never saw it that way.
The river was just an obstacle for us to
Conquer.
So we did and we found each other.
But the river always came back in other forms,
Taking the place of that natural divide
We thought we had beaten.
Soon the new river won.
Each one's river bank now a foreign land
Where we didn't speak each others' language.
And there was no Rosetta Stone.

Breakup
Crumbled and faded ecstasy,
Your touch is outdated
And losing equity.
Your mouth now a aggravation,
Spewing lies forth, attacking
My ears like some alien invasion.
I thought this'd be hard.
Saying Goodbye.
But I'm tired and you're sick.
I have no more tears left to cry.
You and Your nearness,
A plague on my house.
So please just stop talking
And get the fuck out.

A plague on my house.

Love to Insanity
Her lips fueled a sweet madness,
And love dragged him into a hold.
She stole away his normal and
Gave a timed fantasy.
The clock ticked and ticked.
Stop.
In the silence his whole self split.
His paramour of love,
The catalyst of his demise.
And he was left with nothing but
His mind and heart.
A mind touched by madness.
A heart ripped to shreds.
And love dragged him into a hold.
She stole away his normal and
Gave a timed fantasy.
The clock ticked and ticked.
Stop.
In the silence his whole self split.
His paramour of love,
The catalyst of his demise.

His mind and heart.
A mind touched by madness.
A heart ripped to shreds.

His Secret
He lived for her, took each painful breath
For her.
The malady in his body had long won
The fight.
Yet his heart still beat and his eyes shone
With unspilt tears.
Fearful of the day he would leave her.
Yet each time she would lay her hand
Against his flesh, the pain would flee
And love's healing touch would spread
Through him.
One would never know he was sick at all.
And neither did she.
For her.
The malady in his body had long won
The fight.
Yet his heart still beat and his eyes shone
With unspilt tears.
Fearful of the day he would leave her.
Yet each time she would lay her hand
Against his flesh, the pain would flee
And love's healing touch would spread
Through him.
One would never know he was sick at all.
And neither did she.

Beginning and End
You seduced me
with honesty.
Then killed me
with lies.

On the Dark Horizon
Our once tightly knitted love
Unravels...
Tears perch,
Pleading to fall for strength that is almost yet lost.
But the water will run
Over lashes and cheeks when its done.
And the steady drum in my chest
Will falter and weaken.
Redemptive pleas from my lips
Will go unheard in your ear,
and Silence will ring loud.
It will be amazingly tragic
and I will be irrevocably broken.

The Next Level
His face was perfection.
Love colored his eyes and
Passion filled his lips.
And he knew just as I did,
This was the moment
Everything changed.

Weave your fingers
with mine.
And take this road,
this climb.
Together creating
this journey,
Loyally as one.

Simple
In my dream house
There is peace.
We are in love and
We are together.

We are in love and
We are together.

Last Time
Lay the hourglass
on it's side.
Suspend time
if just for this ride.
Deep in me
Stay like this.
A forever kind
of euphoric bliss.
Hard breaths
(thump thump)
Fast beats.
Our bodies' song
Love's Heat.
Yet still it ticks
against this wish.
Our stolen passion
to reminisce.
on it's side.

Three Words
They linger in my throat
trying to escape.
Important words
I'm afraid to say.
Haunted by fear
of you not being sincere.
These words I'm keeping
And simultaneously seeking.
Too soon
Too late
Plagued by what's at stake.
Will affectionate admission
affirm our position.
I ache to tell you
what is real.
And how simply amazing
you make me feel.
Fuck the fear,
the timing,
the rules.
No more of my strings
are getting pulled.
So no more dancing around
my three word admission....

The Journey
I have come to know myself
by way of the Journey.
The Journey over the mountain of
jagged friends and icy words.
The Journey through the valley of
dream killers and illness.
The Journey between skyscrapers and
country dirt roads.
The Journey moving from under
someone's thumb.
The Journey past the fake loves
and to the real one.
The Journey around myself until
I soul dived.
The Journey into my selfish mind and came out
my selfless heart.
The Journey that still continues.
