POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Writing is my therapy, my escape and one of the very few things in life that feels right to me.
Congrats
Bet you feel special
Knowing that I'll still write about you
Doesn't make me as mad, though
As you'd like it to
I'm not ashamed to admit
That you were special at one time
And that I really did
Give you this heart of mine
Unlike you I can be honest
And tell them I believed your lies
I've never felt a need to hide it
Cuz I know my foolishness made me wise
You clearly still live inside your fear bubble
Afraid to face all that went wrong
So you try to cause a little trouble
And think you know what's going on
But actually you've...

Let Me
I need not
Hold the blade
I must only
Misbehave
You'll take it from
My trembling hands
Cuz you're the one
Who understands
You know I like it
On pain I thrive
Keeps me excited
My soul alive
Under your spell
Of mass condition
I'm compelled
Assume position
Cut wide open
Expose my flesh
Drain me till
There's nothing left
Perception of love
Forever altered
Myself is the one
That I have faltered
Kill me slow
Give me life
Can't let go
Don't know why
You slice me up
To...

Torturous Paranoia
It's easy at first to enjoy moments
But it's hard to tell yourself that they have meaning
Even when you believe they could have potential to create good things
The truth is you really have no clue
What I've learned about moments is mutuality is often assumed
You hope more than you truly know
The mind tends to trick itself into false realities of situations
Simply to assist the part of you that craves connection
Relaxation has the tendency to cloud judgment
Almost as much as it tends to set direction
You can't get caught up in craving a...

Language of Your Heart
I want to be the exclamation mark
At the end of your sentence
The one who gets you excited for
What could and might come next
I want to be the full stop
Who you come running to, end of
The one who keeps you wrapped tight
In her loving warm embrace
I want to be the one to make you question
Everything you thought you knew
And the right percentage
Needed to complete you
I want to be that quotation
That you just can't stop speaking
Memorized verbatim
That you connect with so deeply
I'd love to be your favorite...

Your Kiss
I'm usually too full for dessert
Except when you're on the menu
I try to refuse the urge to taste but
You tempt me with just your presence
\I'd rather wait a couple hours
To take my time before I devour
And I'd be able to be just fine
If it wasn't for your kiss
It's the way your lips touch mine
And how your tongue knows exactly what to say
I absorb unspoken words straight from your mouth
When you pull me closer to you
Sometimes you don't even mean to do it
I can tell by how you act, so sweet and understanding
But you can't conceal...

Lay Down
Lay down next to me
Tell me of every thought that rushes through your mind
I will keep your secrets safe, oh I
Will hold you tight
Herein my arms you can rest your head
Let your heart pour out of your chest
And sweetie I
Will just hold you
Hold you tight
Because this world is filled with time
And not enough moments
I'm willing to give you mine
Every ounce of emotion
Yes you can have it all, if just for tonight
I want to make it alright
There is no need to worry
Let outside communications vanish
We can 'whisper' to...

Helplessly Yours
I'm in that place
With you
And you touch me so
Gently
And it could be
The death of me
Your hands are soft
But I know
They can kill
The sense of urgency
When you demand my body close
With permanency
Forces me to
Submit to your desires
And I am inspired
By the way you make my heart beat
Out of control
Pulsating rhythms
Send impulses through
My body and mind
Making me do things I wouldn't normally do
No fighting stance
No worry for consequence
Purely action and reaction
Thriving on passion...

Treasure Chest
I know that buried inside your chest
There lies a treasure
A trove of golden emotions
Deep within the contours of you
Gems in their purest form
Rare, of the highest quality
Raw materials comprised of elegance
That I could easily thread through fabrics of my existence
I've longed to bind such precious jewels
To the inner layers of my damaged soul
So that keys to my heart which have long fled
Can be recreated and placed in your hands
They'd sparkle with love at the touch of your fingertips
And light up for you each time you smile
Leading...

Trips
Motorcycle trips
To places unknown to me
But never strange to you
Wind blowing in my hair
Holding on tight
Anticipating your next move
Slow and fast
You make me anxious for
Future rides on your body
I want to know
Where else we could go
And how far you could drive me
So keep me safe
Protect me from harm
And take my trust as I give it up
I want to stay
In this moment with you
Can't get enough of this rush
I talked a good game
I can get pretty insane
But you said I need to try it...

Wordplay
Satiate me with your wordplay
Caress me with the thoughts of that wandering mind
Wrap me around the edges of your beautifully constructed sentence
As I come to you in raw format
Dying to feel your textuality
Vocabulary seduction
Clever whit, brilliant puns and
Undeniable passionate delivery
I'm open to your letter placement
Because I want to know how deep "U" can go
So show me that heartfelt statement
That I'm the embodiment of it all
And you can have me how you want me
I long to take your body of words
And twist them...

I
I will cry to smile
But I won't smile to cry
I'd rather live in truth
Than spend my life in a lie
I prefer to do what's right
Instead of always wondering why
I've made an enemy of regret
All guilt I will defy
I will focus on what I need
Not just the things I want
I will carry my mistakes with me
Remember what I've been taught
I will be so much better
Better than you ever thought
I will give myself some credit
For all the battles that I've fought
I'll tell myself I love me
More than you've ever could
I will do it with...

Wanting
I dream of capturing you in webs of sensuality
To feel your body tangled up with mine
Because the craving I have inside for your taste
Is too much for me to bear
Consumed by urges I come to you stripped
Exposing my sexuality raw and uncut
Struck by desperation I hope to convince you
That I have the dose of affection you're looking for
When you're around it's true that I do get a rush
But that doesn't mean I won't take my time
I'll give it to you slow to ensure you feel it
Making each moment last longer than the next
