Poet Introduction
I am nobody, who are you? Are you somebody or nobody too? If you please stop by, come and sit down. I have so much to tell, but no one to listen. Won't you be my voice of reason?

I Didn't Even Notice
The day passed by, and I didn't even notice.
Now it's been two years and I didn't even notice.
No one brought it up to me and I still didn't even notice.
Maybe because there's no stone on the ground.
There's no where for me to place flowers if I chose.
So when the day comes I barely think of it.
Is it bad to say that him being gone for my life only hurts me at random times?
I love him and I miss him.
And when I stare at my son too long, it comes back at me.
Half of my entire family is gone.
Wiped out in less than ten years out of my twenty years of...

Lost In Paradise
I had a dream that I was shipwrecked.
On a island with a beautiful kingdom on it.
And I was greeted by a prince that helped me to my feet.
Asked me my name and pleaded for me to be his date for a ball tonight.
But just as I was about to utter my reply.
A storm broke out overhead.
Lightning struck the castle's tower and a fire broke out.
People died.
Lives were lost.
And it was all because of me.
The storm had followed me.
It was trying to destroy me.
But I survived.
And because I had surivied, so many other people had died. ...

A Writer's Journal: Entry VII
I missed these all night writing sessions, and am finally glad to mention that I am finally out of my writer's block. It took me a few months and I guess every writer has to go through that yearly writer's block. Hopefully it doesn't become a trend however. It's been an entire year since I first started working on The Secret House since I broke up with Her. And I've just realized now that the story is my story, meaning I can do what I want with it. And if that means I don't want a character to be a certain way anymore I can make that happen, I don't need a million bad people, or a million...

Not Anorexia (Pint-Sized Poem #52)
It's not anorexia.
Anorexia is when you purposely starve yourself.
Just so you can lose weight.
I'm not trying to starve myself.
I'm not trying to lose weight.
I'm just not hungry.
I just haven't been eating.
It's not anoerixa.
I just don't like food right now.

Seven Years
Seven years. . .
Huh?
Really?
How strange. . .
It's really been that long?
Seven Christmases?
Seven birthdays?
Seven years of memories?
Of stories?
Of fireworks and New Year's Day marathons?
Of wins and losses?
Of stories I've written.
Of my first heart break.
And my father dying.
Grand-dad joined you as well.
As well as your own brother and father.
I fell in love a second time.
And now I have a son.
He's a year and a half now.
I miss you.
My mom does too.
I wish...

Infinity (Pint-Sized Poem #51)
When you say forever.
I'll says always.
When I say always.
You say forever.
Over and over.
And it'll never end.
Our entertwining rings will never untangle.
And we will exist.
We will be.
Forever and always.
Always and forever.
Together--
Me and you.
You and I.
And we shall be, forever:
Infinite.

Guilty
"Look I have a bruise on my arm. . ."
Really?
How fascinating...
Please tell me more--
Such as, how did it get there?
I wonder. . .
Did it just appear out of nowhere?
I remember when I'd wake up with random bruises. . .
It was just because I was a klutz though.
It wasn't to make someone else feel bad.
Someone who will admit that they hit you.
But thank you for pointing it out anyway Mother?
Do abusive girlfriends and wives point out to their abusers the marks they've left on their faces and arms?
No-- I didn't think so....

Funeral Bells (Pint-Sized Poem #50)
Funeral bells.
Ringing in your mind.
Like cold shivers.
Up your neck.
And down your spine.
And stays in your head.
Ringing--
Chiming--
Echoing--
And singing--
In your ears and through your mind.
Up your neck and down your spine.
And live in your head.
Until the day you die.
Just another song to sing.
Another story to tell.
Just some more ringing of those--
Funeral bells.
Ringing in your mind.
Like cold shivers.
Up your neck.
And down your spine.
And stays in your head.
Ringing--
Chiming--
Echoing--
And singing--
In your ears and through your mind.

Pain
Everything hurts. . .
My entire right side.
My arms, shoulders, back and side.
This pain is made up of invisible bruises.
Of silent tears.
And broken promises.
Just smile.
Pretend it doesn't hurt.
I did it to myself in the end.
No use blaming someone else.
I threw the first punch.
It was self-defense.
That's what they'll say.
It's what they deserve to say.
They didn't hurt me.
Look at my arms. . .
All I do (afterall) is hurt myself.
So when the pain comes back.
It means nothing.
Just shake it off.
Let it...

Cries In The Night (Pint-Sized Poem #49)
Sometimes I can't help but wonder about the crying I use to hear.
The soft and quiet whimpering of broken and secret tears.
It use to haunt me, late through the night.
It would often wake me and give me quite a fright.
But now I wonder. . .
Was it really the ghosts of lost souls?
People I would never ever know?
Or was it just myself. . .
Crying to be saved from this shell--
Of who I use to be.
Instead of ghosts--
Were the cries in the night, really in the end just me?
The soft and quiet whimpering of broken and secret tears.
It use to haunt me, late through the night.
It would often wake me and give me quite a fright.
But now I wonder. . .
Was it really the ghosts of lost souls?
People I would never ever know?
Or was it just myself. . .
Crying to be saved from this shell--
Of who I use to be.
Instead of ghosts--
Were the cries in the night, really in the end just me?

Poppet Doll
I made a poppet doll of you.
You made one of me too.
We played together with our poppet friends.
Not knowing that our own friendship would one day end.
No, no-- We never knew.
That we would ever bid the other adieu.
Into the night, and good-bye.
The hourglass ran out of time.
But I gave you back the poppet doll.
The one I made in the likeness of you.
I gave it back with a stiched up heart.
To say I'm sorry for breaking it, or so I had thought.
But you-- Oh you, kept your poppet doll.
The one you made of me. ...

The Snow Queen's Legacy
My chambers have frozen.
A shard of ice pierced through my heart.
Shut up from the world.
Inside of my ivory tower.
Erected from the icicle tears of broken dreams.
Sorrow fills this glacier.
Ice fills my heart.
My tears have frozen down my cheeks.
I will no longer cry for you peasants.
And I'm done trying to please you all.
If only I could break your minds.
And your hearts.
Just like you have done to mine.
But my powers aren't that grand.
Instead you are all stuck inside of this icey tundra.
This broken and frozen...
A shard of ice pierced through my heart.
Shut up from the world.
Inside of my ivory tower.
Erected from the icicle tears of broken dreams.
Sorrow fills this glacier.
Ice fills my heart.
My tears have frozen down my cheeks.
I will no longer cry for you peasants.
And I'm done trying to please you all.
If only I could break your minds.
And your hearts.
Just like you have done to mine.
But my powers aren't that grand.
Instead you are all stuck inside of this icey tundra.
