POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Empty Promises
Words from your mouth fall upon hopeful ears,
Succumbing to passion and covering fears.
Defying reality in conflict with tears,
that wash away time through a stream leading into an ocean of years.
A future an illusion made up of lustful spheres,
singing a song that no one will hear.
Envisions of heavens of angels and piers,
many can speak of but no ones been near.
Promises told in silence fall on death ears...
Give me your hell if that's what is here,
Let my five senses define what is real.
Succumbing to passion and covering fears.
Defying reality in conflict with tears,
that wash away time through a stream leading into an ocean of years.
A future an illusion made up of lustful spheres,
singing a song that no one will hear.
Envisions of heavens of angels and piers,
many can speak of but no ones been near.
Promises told in silence fall on death ears...
Give me your hell if that's what is here,
Let my five senses define what is real.

Outgrowing Chains
I realized I carried a burden
One that was beyond me
A burden that was so heavy
That dragged its weight upon my feet
The burden has been so steep
So painful I've become weak
A burden that's been with me
So far along before I could think.
Now that its been revealed
Now that I been freed
I stumble with my new freedom
Thats painful and I'm still weak.
How can I battle my present
If I just let go of my past.
Why is my new wisdom not easy to just grasp.
I want to run yet I am weak,
I want to mourn,
I want to...

Fighting for Me
I'm drowning in a sea of hopelessness
It's rhythm is a wave resisted by my love shore
Encouraged by the wind of your rejection
I am fierce and I'm persistent
Yet in nature there's objection
I'm drowning in a sea of hopelessness
lurking in the dangers of its openness
I'm drowning in a sea of hopelessness
I am alone, his heart emotionless
I am dying in a sea of hopelessness
King of wind let me show you my devotedness.
It's rhythm is a wave resisted by my love shore

I am alone, his heart emotionless
I am dying in a sea of hopelessness
King of wind let me show you my devotedness.

My Worst Enemy
If my anger was as free as the wind,
my voice as calm as the sea on a windless eve
my love as shallow as a man's ego
my pain cold as a corpse
I'll be free from the depths of the hell I built...
my own misery.
my voice as calm as the sea on a windless eve
my love as shallow as a man's ego

I'll be free from the depths of the hell I built...

After the Music Stops
You turn on the party with the hottest beats,
Spinnin' and mixin' what's hot on da streets.
Mixed drinks, bottles, shots, and bare skins,
and sweat on bodies gyrating suggestively.
Birthday shout outs and reminders that say
"Make sure ya'll tip when ya order ya drink!".
You got this you keeping it all in the bag,
but I Want to be there when the music stops.
Turn YOU on with a smile and be sweet,
lay on your chest and hear your heart beat.
You could drink Goose but I will drink Henny,
its all good as long as we ready.

Hurt
Have you ever hit bottom ground?
Hit so hard you didn't hear a sound?
You know what I'm talking about:
Like when you hit your toe and you just howl?
It takes a minute to come around?
Have you ever been up on the clouds?
So deep in love you lost your crowd?
Your friends don't call you to go out
Cause you boo'd up without a frown?
You think you got it, you hold the crown...
But dudes are dudes, they don't stick around.
Unless you're perfect, unless you bow, unless you submit, let your soul drown.
Life is a mystery
Without a doubt......

Loveless Lover
Perfection is his psyche under a chocolate cover
His strength I have discovered
My body demands encores recovered
Sitting on bedcovers
Cornered by thoughts that hover
Mind wants to wander
Persistent thoughts force me to ponder
Loveless lover keeps me blundered
He’s a flawless torment
A heartbreak portent
His strength I have discovered
My body demands encores recovered
Sitting on bedcovers
Cornered by thoughts that hover
Mind wants to wander
Persistent thoughts force me to ponder
Loveless lover keeps me blundered
He’s a flawless torment
A heartbreak portent

The Gifts He Left Me
I thought he left me with an empty, broken heart, but once I dusted the negativity, forgave, and decided to heal, I realized there were precious life lessons he left within it as gifts from this wonderful relationship:
1. Never take your love for granted. Not for a minute believe that they will put up with your negativity. Do not tell yourself they love you too much to walk away.
2. Close your ears and open your eyes. Sometimes your love won't say the truth of their agenda because they fear they may hurt you. It is up to YOU to realize if the relationship is on the path you...

Surrender to Love
Understanding the Surrendered Life,
that I would live along with your kisses,
the one that will keep me captive, and with endless blisses.
Understanding the Surrendered Life,
the life that in time will come,
giving up my soul to sit by your throne.
Understanding the Surrendered Life,
Of a woman in love,
with a man who doesn't understand her wisdom, her intellect, or her pros.
Understanding the Surrendered Life,
of a woman who gave up herself to be patient and solemn,
stands by her man with no problem,
he does with his time what his mind...
