Your arrogance stripped me bare, Leaving me vulnerable, Open and exposed. Such easy prey. Was it fun for you? Breaking down my wall, Taking a peek inside, The bleak harsh reality of me. Was it a shock for you? Seeing me raw, Real, Neglected and scared. Was it too much for you? The perceived idea of me, Built brick by brick, Each one punctuating the demands of others. Should I have lied to you? Painting pretty pictures, Sm...
What is your reason for being hereIs it just to write poems and storiesOr are you here to cause tearsAre you just a bully marking your territoryWhy do some people like to cause hurtTo people, they don't even knowThey like to treat you like dirtThey put on an annoying showPerhaps they get a short time outTheir victims are made to look like foolsThey cast their stones all aboutYou have to wonder are there any rulesYou hear...

The winding vines tighten around the heart fluttering, bird-like and fit to burst. Heady hours flicker like Kodachrome through the projector in my head. Over and over the film slides, sticking on those little moments, shared smiles, discreet glances, the ponderings of a mad man over the weight of the mug, the value of words, and a warm touch. Intricacies burn holes into my mind the color of your eyes, the chilling space i...
Create my escapeAs I stand hereWithout even moving an inchAs soon as you see me, I’m travelingAway from the world I live in The brief time that we spend togetherAn eveningA coffeeA nightWhisks me awayA mere look at your faceAnd I’ve touched down in some parallel time You light up for me when you see meIt makes all the risk so worthwhilePerhaps such encounters won’t heal meBut they let me break free for a while.
My back against youFitting thereYour hand curves to my breastWe breathe together in a bedYour head against me rests We try to do thisWhen we canIt’s going on for yearsAnd then we live our separate livesBut neither seems to care This is usThis is our wayRoutine within routineWe meet, we kiss, we love, then sleepWe pledge ourselves, then leave I think this has us satisfiedNeither asks for moreWe trust in how the other feels...
Friendship is love and devotion Something sacred, filled with emotion Some don't get the serious notion That some friendships run deeper than the ocean This is my devotion to my friend A friendship I know will never end All my love to her I send Our mutual affection transcends She is mine to cherish Without her love I would perish Some say that together we're quite hellish Others have named us quite devilish But she is th...
She walked the streets, not knowing where to go or what to do. Whimpering and still warm, her newborn baby lay where she had left him. She hoped the owner of the tatty launderette would find him when she came to lock up, if no one had found him before. Flickering like a broken slot machine, the fluorescent lights of the launderette provided not enough light for day and too much for night. The baby snuffled in time with ea...
Words can be a deadly pill, When used in anger they can kill. In anger tossed out as we use, They hurt deeply as we abuse. When we pick the strongest words, They cut deeply as if they are swords. We throw the harsh words out. They hit the listener with clout. We use words in life every day. Use them wrong and we pay. Sometimes words come from above, Especially when we speak of love. Words can be like waves of the ocean, W...
Leaning back into the cushions, I blink and yawn.Watching yet another movie that I won't remember.The hour grows late, as it's wont to do,But my heart glows with happiness, thinking of you."Insanely amazing," your voice whispers in my ear,And my lips rise in a contented smile.It's well after midnight, and I wait for you,Knowing that shortly your long day is soon over.In the darkness to my left, my cellphone lights up,And...
I hold my cards close to my chestNever letting anyone inI don’t show my true coloursInstead keeping my thoughts to myselfWhy would I do this, you askBecause the world is so cruelNarrow-minded fools are in chargeAnd refuse to understand meI am deeply in love, yet I cannot shareI am listed as single, unwedBut as long as my love understandsI do not careSome days it’s harder, I just want to screamBecause she means the whole w...
I watched. I slipped. I fell. We unraveled; shattered. Irrepareable.-Ellen Hopkins, Identical.Sometimes families aren't how they appearPeople hide behind smiles, laughs,liesPeople hide the truthBut I saw and I changed.You took away my childhood.
A pitiful act, a devious plan The play of the mind, a simple question Where to be now, at this moment? It seems like something odd or naive, maybe Yet that thought drives dreams and create nightmares Lightness that thrives and darkness that pierces the soul How to choose where to be at this given moment? What the heart craves buries the common sense Steps lead into the unknown, the wanted and despised A room full of empti...
The rivers flow from sunken eyes,No one hears these silent cries,Except the room,But I assume,Even the air,Doesn't give a care.Into my pillow I weep,Can't fall asleep,Until the warm tears,Through the pillow sear,Burning as my eyes,Shed silent cries.Convulsive sobs,Gather in mobs,Flowing upon the sheets,Hysteria is my defeat,No turning back,My eyes close it's black.Then I sleep,Curled up in a heap,My lashes soaked,By thoug...
If I Said.. Why aren’t rainbows everyday? Why do clouds drift away? Why won’t love come and stay? What would you say? If I said.. Who made giraffes so tall? Why do leaves die and fall? Do we really need love at all? Don’t you ever want to call? If I said.. Where do rabbits run and hide? Why are rivers deep and wide? How do we know when a heart has lied? Have you ever thought of us and cried? If I said.. Why does iron rust...
