POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I don't really write about one thing it's just what pops in my head at the time.My most written subject is love even though it bites me in the ass more often than not
Last Kiss
Her eyes were aglow,
like fire embers dying slow
Head held high she stood tall
with a graceful stance
She moved ever so swiftly mimicking
the dance of a beautiful waltz
Her target she spied,
helpless and serene,
but to her formidable
enemy she remained unseen
she unsheathed her sword
And before he knew it
he was on the ground
in this unfamiliar place
no warning came
not even a sound
A crooked smile
adorned her lips
and she gave her
enemy his last embrace
as the face of an angel
gave...

Crimson Red Lips
Consumed by thoughts of you; our love was like fire and slowly turned to ice
Reminders of you everywhere , it seems there is no escaping my memories
Imprisoned is my mind, remembering your touch your smell the way it felt in my arms
Mirrored by your shadow your silhouette follows me at times mimicking me
Steaming hot coals burn my hand as I reach out to touch you
Overwhelmed, I'm falling deeper into an ocean of disbelief, I'm drowning trying to escape this despair
Never did I think I would lose my sanity when you left me alone in the cold, fear...

Ashes of Time
Temperamental tears and devotional swears
Simple minded thoughts that I just didn’t care
Justified rights causing disruption in faith
Complication over mindset withdrawing to my fears
Calmed over nerves and a resolution to prayer
I was selfish, screaming to myself that it’s just not fair
So with frenzied piercing cries and cold founded tears now wiped away
I'm still left wondering why; so to the heavens I shout in need of a way out
Please Lord I admit that I've lost my way and now I pray
with eyes full of shameful tears I still ask thee why has my love...

Embers Glow
We swan dive into the volcano, burning
We creatures of night on fire
Mingled female and male
yearning for the heat
the sweet explosion of desire
Splashing from dreams, all consuming
I'm joyfully insane, my soul set ablaze
Passion's haze runs deep and fully blooms
Long after sweet warm flickers still remain
You make me sizzle with your kisses
And yet there is so much more
My heart is kindled, too it knows what bliss is
This closeness, never felt before
I belong to you
body...
heart...
mind...
and soul...

Twilight Dreams
You gave me courage to spread my wings and take flight...
but ever since you said goodbye; they have withered and I no longer fly
the stars have fallen from the sky, my world fell black
As a cold wind blows all around me, chills I feel to the bone
I'm standing here drowning in a sea of nothingness in a world where
only darkness abounds , alone with my fear; living a nightmare
Not even bothering to dry my eyes, it's pointless
as a never ending stream of tears will follow
my soul now hollow
It's hard to swallow as I cry out for you but it seems your...

Fallen Angel
She fell from the heavens down to this world
Grasping a broken harp
Beautiful white wings now darkest black
Music was a part of her…
Heaven not wanting her anymore
This silence is an endless dream,
Solitude made real in her,
Any trace of warmth in her soul now not there
This Fallen angel, who lost her grace
crying so desperately in the pouring rain
Will you love her under this familiar moon
Under the endless starry sky…
She yearns to fly…
But her broken wings chain her to this earth
Can you free her– with your love
Maybe then her...

All I Want
Standing here
Under the
Silvery moon
In the
Twilight of
My dreams
I pledged
My love
I'd give
Up everything
For you
Just to
Touch you,
Kiss you
One more time
Your love
Is all I
Want and need
So hear
My plead
And do not heed
Your the
Closest to
Heaven I
Will ever be
Can't you see?
All I
Taste is
This moment
In time
With you
And remember
You are
My life's
Breath...

Forever in my Heart
Laying next to you in your arms is my saving grace the only place where I find solace
pain can't find me here, nothing can harm me you are indeed my lucky charm
Gently you kiss my lips and with my finger tips I trace your face
composing my own masterpiece to keep etched in my brain
It may seem like we are a million miles apart from one another
but never forget I keep you in my heart and no matter how far away
I am from you I am always with you, I'm the whisper in the wind the soft breeze
felt against your skin, telling you I am more than just your best friend

Sometimes
Sometimes I turn my back and just walk away
Sometimes I leave home trying to find home another way
Sometimes I fall to the floor regretting things I’ve said
Sometimes I try and find hope in the things I’ve read
Sometimes I see your face in someone else’s eyes
Sometimes I feel the truth seep through from others lies
Sometimes I doubt my love from things you’ve said
Sometimes I can't stand the thought of you in my head
Sometimes I want today to be my one last breathe
Sometimes I find a place in my heart where death dose dwell
Sometimes...

Eyelash Tears
Every rise of the sun every tic of the clock there is a new memory in my mind to unlock
It seems I have been frozen in time standing here all these years for when I look at you and in your eyes
I see my own pain staring back and through mirrored eyes I see the horrible scenes playing out over my life's canvas
I hear these constant words being whispered... but from whom
I am nobody
who are you?
are you

Songs of the Siren
Sing with me, songs from days gone by
Sing of the men who have passed our way
Our song they cannot deny
Though I am bound to the sea
and I mean not to lead them astray
All along the shores I sing
Through the night and into day
Touching the mariners heartstring
Long and lush locks of flaming red hair
As soft as the ocean's spray
With eyes as green as sea-foam
My melody follows the men as they roam
Do you hear the song of the sea
from aboard your ship as it sways
Do you feel the need to fall in love with me
I am a siren, sisters are we...

The Final Battle
When it is to end, Sky and Earth would wage an endless war against each other.
As one side gained the advantage, the other side would steal it away from the other.
This would continue until both agreed to one Final Battle.
Sky made its champions to fight against Earth, and Earth made its champions
to fight against Sky. Earth thought long and hard and created its champion.
Taking only from Earth and placing no Sky within its creation, Earth breathed
its own essence into its warriors. Sky watched Earth, and being ever jealous,
stole some of Earth to put in its...
