POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I don't consider myself a poet. It's just random thoughts.
What If
Days spent dreaming
Nights Wide awake
The question "What If" flies through my brain
Life and Passion and Love take hold
Time ticks on and nights grow ever more cold
Young on the outside and old within
Feel as if I've committed some sin
Always I crash land in contentment's grasp
Only to find that contentment don't last
Someday perhaps I may find myself blessed...
Someday perhaps fate will grant me a gift...

What Looks Out
Look! There she is again
Always staring through the windows of that broken house
Why does she stare? How come she never comes out?
She is Other
The same as any other person
But
Different
The events of her life have deprived her of the knowledge to live
She remembers not the freedom of Unburdened Innocence
Yet the clock continues to run
She exists Trapped
Unable
To
Break Free
Pleading for anyone to come and release her
She cries tears that could fill caverns
Carries secrets that could destroy

Nameless
It's early morning and I am fully concentrated on
The feel of dew covered grass
Refreshing morning air that still holds a bite
On the red Akua as it rises
My namesake...
I concentrate on the peace without
While I trt to forget how to feel how to remember
How everything changes when I would have them stay the same....
At parties I have fun, talk story some
But I am not really a part of it all
I can be in the middle of the group
And still feel as if I'm watching from the sidelines
And I concentrate wholly without

Acceptance
I feel selfish Needy Clingy
Wishing to be closer
Straining at the seams for it
Even as the chasm widens
Batter my wings against the unseen barrier
I've found love for the first time
Is it real? Is it even Love??
Foreign emotion Yet
It feels the way I imagined love would
Like
Sunshine and ocean breezes
My heart laments the loss
Do you hear it?
Could you, even when the words refuse to come?
Just within my grasp
So close I could taste it
Starshine and moonbeams
I fear it may be slipping away before it...

Red Rose
You were there
Fingers caressing the petals of that red rose with such reverence
I watched as you ran those petals softly against your lips
Buried your nose in its center and inhaled
I couldn’t help but imagine you caressing me that way
And had to stifle a moan of frustrated need
Just then you glanced up with a look in your eye
Letting me know that what you were doing was
Just for me
You got up and went into the next room knowing I would follow
And so I did…I started to follow feeling like the hunter
When in reality I was the hunted

Cravings
I have a craving within
Hooked its talons so deep the need makes me weak at the knees
Been so long that your voice alone might send me over the edge…well
No not quite
I miss the feel of fevered skin as it slides against my own
Heated kisses and grasping hands
Lungs straining for breath that won’t come
Fill me to my soul with your passion
Show me how much you want me with your body
Push me so close that I shake with my almost release
Then take me down just to build me up once more
Make me work for the release that I so badly...
Hooked its talons so deep the need makes me weak at the knees
Been so long that your voice alone might send me over the edge…well
No not quite
I miss the feel of fevered skin as it slides against my own
Heated kisses and grasping hands
Lungs straining for breath that won’t come
Fill me to my soul with your passion
Show me how much you want me with your body
Push me so close that I shake with my almost release
Then take me down just to build me up once more
Make me work for the release that I so badly...

Words
The words you speak
Are like the breath I need to proceed
Inspire me to speak my mind
Lay it on the line
Float me away down the river of
Love and Life
With undercurrents of pain and strife
I live so fully in the embrace of your words
They flow through my mind
Immerse me in dreams of
The images you create
Out of words
So deeply in life
Bursting with scent and sound and taste
I feel it all
Happiness, hope, sex, love and hate
Make me feel true pain through raw emotion
Or ecstasy sweet as a chocolate ocean...

My Dream Man
Opened my eyes and had a dream
Saw you standing in front of me
Reached out to hold you close
Hand misted through…are you a ghost?
Could have sworn you are real
Your embrace had a solid feel
But each time we meet you wear a new face
And we’re in a new house in a beautiful place
If I sing our song when I dream
Will you come to me outside of dreams?
Think about you all the time
Determined to hear that you are mine
Opened my eyes and thought I had a dream
There you were in front of me
Reached out and held me...

Shadows
Lost amongst shadows
Again
No light shines here
Happiness Peace and Love fade here
And the mist engulfs all
Again
No Way Out
Never A Way Out
Without help
Lost…
Amongst…
Shadows…
Again.
Again
No light shines here
Happiness Peace and Love fade here
And the mist engulfs all
Again
No Way Out
Never A Way Out
Without help
Lost…
Amongst…
Shadows…
Again.

Live
Live don’t just survive…
How many times have I heard this spoken?
Live…
What is that? To live?
I survive… no, not even that
I Exist
Barely
A dreamer since birth but at least I recognize that
A thousand deaths I’ve died
Never Once Having Lived
Never once knew love or so it seems
The world is not at my feet It lives somewhere unobtainable
Barely
I Exist
Live…
To live? What is that?
How many times have I heard this spoken?
Live. Don’t. Just. Survive…

Three Friends, Three Sisters
Three friends with nothing in common, three sisters who are nothing alike
They live together but don't ever fight
Talking and laughing are what they do best aside of all the rest
The good, the spontaneous, and the cruiser one too what are we gonna do?
Poerava, Maela and Ka'ula
Three sisters with no relations, Three friends with no ties
And because of this their friendship never dies
A dancer, a joker and a floer so true, What can anyone do?
Through puberty, boys and problems of the worst
Together they stuck...

Eternal Time
I sit here and I wonder, how did I ever let it get this far
Contemplating over past events, things just seem so meaningless
What will happen in the future that past and present haven't already seen
Through life and death, time and time again things seem to repeat themselves
How long more till life goes on, what should I do to continue
Thinking about how I just can't live without you
Old mistakes and problems have long been forgiven and yet we still wander on
What to do in these perilous times without knowing which way to turn
...
