For Latoya

Have you counted every tear I’ve cried?
Felt the pain I feel inside?
I’ve been strong at least I’ve tried
But life hasn’t been the same since you died.

I’ll ache for the good times that have been,
will reminisce every smile I’ve seen.
I’ll hold on tight to the times we spent together,
I guess only memories last forever.

Why they took you, I’ll never know.
Every day, my sadness grows.
There’s so many words I need to say
I miss you more each and every day.

I know that your soul is flying free,
but I can’t stop my heart from crying
“come back to me”.

The Lord’s beautiful angel
a soldier so true
If only you knew how much I love you.

Upon so many lives you had a huge affect
There’s so much love you for and so much respect
I still can’t accept the fact you’re gone,
but in my hear you’ll always live on.


The kiss

Oh my god.
I have this elated feeling.
It’s just one of those days I feel like screaming.
I’m disguised by a girlish smile
Dazzling teeth for another mile.

It just phenomenally took my breath away
Oh, it would have been easy to get carried away.
Our bodies just oozed with passion,
made stronger yet by infatuation.

The way he ran his fingers through my hair,
as though he wanted to imprison me there
I desperately drank him in,
I’m not the devil but it felt like sin.

There were fireworks shooting off in my mind,
I simply turned to mush inside.
Weak knees and closed eyes
his lips just had me mesmerised.

It was one of those moments you try hard not to squeal
and run your finger across your lips to make sure it was real.
I never knew it was possible to feel like this!
It was such an amazing kiss!



Thanks Cupid for all you did

I didn’t even say how much I’d miss you
your perfect smile, your eyes so blue
and I forgot to warn you to take care
call me selfish, but since when was love fair?

And we kinda stood there in each other’s arms
Desperate to avoid destiny’s harm.
Hell, I tried so hard not to cry
but I was never any good at saying goodbye.

God only knows, I feel like a fool,
Wasting all that time trying to play cool.
You thought I was shy around your mates,
but truth be told, I’m terrified of fate.

Dear Cupid, can I have him back?
I never said thank you for making me smile,
even thought it was just for a while.
When you held me for that very last time,
I inhaled you so deeply, my heart’s act of crime.

I had a million things in my mind,
but the right word were impossible to find.
You squeezed my hand but then you let go
then said there was no such thing as tomorrow.

But I guess we’re lucky in a way,
because we’ve always got memories of yesterday
baby, I miss you. Oh and Cupid?
You’re a bastard but thanks anyway.

Fraud investigator

We sat in the kitchen, hushed for a while
I felt like a criminal with a guilty smile.
I looked at her and saw no emotion in her eyes.
She seemed to be searching mine for lies.

A strange woman parked in our living room,
Come to perish our world in doom.
Without invitation, she sat under the weight of her hair
Investigated mom and dad, made me feel sick from her stare.

She twisted every word into something wrong
It was killing my mom, just trying to stay strong.
There the woman sat in her counterfeit greatness,
when I looked at my dad, he was aged with sadness.

Connor so young only asked why,
doing the dishes, I tried not to cry.
Dad trying to play it cool,
Mom trying to not be unnerved by the rule.

Now I realise our world can be ripped apart.
I wonder how this woman lives with a stone cold heart
Still, I know lying keeps us alive
In this game of fear we have to survive.

Right now our livelihood hangs on a thread,
my heart’s in my mouth, heart pumping with dread.
Living is everything this is about,
what happens if we get found out?

Misery

Hold me close, draw me near
Let me cry my unending tear.
Whisper malicious words,
ridicule me for being insane
cradle me in my pain.
Mess with my head,
send me night’s worst dream
laugh at me while I scream.
Stay with me, by my friend
bring me my bloody end.
Take me into your wrath
Let me anguish free.
I’m the patron saint of misery.

In this life

I lie, I cry, I breathe, I die
but in this life, who am I?
The girl with the broken smile
who’s cried in the rain for half a mile.

I laugh, I cheat, I share, I sneer
but in this life, who am I?
A child that’s lived a life forlorn
who would like to die before the morn.

I try, I fail, I fall of the rail
but in this life, who am I?
A lonely girl who wants to love,
who believe’s the future’s in the stars above.

I shout, I scream, I sleep, I dream,
but in the life, who am I?
Another young lady trying to forget her past,
another young girl trying to make the future last.

Trying to learn all I’ve been told,
’cause in this world time is gold
I’m just another existence trying to survive
’cause in this life I am alive.

You’re intelligent and funny
you give me this sensation in my tummy.
I’m uncovering your magic ever so slowly
Wandering if you know I’ll never leave you lonely.

My only one, my hope and my strength
to see you happy I’ll go to any length.
My softness, sensitivity and every fear,
if you ever need someone, I’m always here.

Just like the snow, of wishes come true
I can’t help but wonder why I’m not with you
Under the stars with you I lay
But you’re loving arms are missions away.

I’d give anything to kiss your lips,
to hold and to hug you with your hands on my hips
Just wanna run to you, don’t let me go
need your smile when I’m high and need your love when I’m low.

Times in my life when I see the lies and the dark
the mystery that’s you makes the sweetest remark,
the only thing I see, you are my light.
When things are so wrong, you make everything alright.

Thinking of you suddenly makes me okay,
somehow I’ll show you that you’re my night and my day.
You mean so much to me and in these words I can’t say
I just want you to be mine one day.

The thought of you hurt makes me want to cry
to nurture you with love, I’d give all my time to go by,
You’re handsome and strong, you fill me with joy.
It’s you and you along I want to call my boy.

My first poem about sex

The play fighting fist that always misses
the “I love you really” flirtatious disses
The secret notes passed under the table,
Please help me, my heart’s unstable.

Slutty words on your lips
Wandering hands on my hips
An excitable few seconds of heated passion,
“Your body’s fit” uttered in a secretive fashion.

That knowing sparkle in your eye,
that sensuous smile that makes my heart die,
The rare moments you hold onto me,
Oh I could just melt into your body.

I’m weak and you carry my on your shoulder,
I’m my own worst enemy and you’re my only soldier.
These secrets that nobody else ever knows
you ride with my always, through my highs and my lows.

Breathless kisses on my neck,
boy you put me in an orgasmic wreck.
Suggestive whispers I’ll never forget,
this is a night I’ll never regret

Morning skies envy the charm that is yours
when you’re alongside me the rain never pours.
With astonishing elegance, the stars brightly shine
sharing our fantasies, making you mine.

Mars – he commands and his victim does blush
Venus – her heart’s swept away by a rush
This time unstung by fate’s fatal menace
She is an angel that blind cupid blesses.

Hurt is healed by a spirit kindred
he stands dishevelled, somewhat bewildered
hurt bows down – accepts defeat,
cowers away, as by love he is beat.

The love you give is my Achilles’s heal
I thought I was invincible, that my heart could seal.
Upon my heel lives a heart shaped soar,
You, my love, fell from a shooting star.

Untitled

Shredded skin upon her cheek,
hear her paranoia shriek.
Poison thoughts – a heart gone cold
Noone offers her a hand to hold.

Daddy’s no longer by her side,
her lonely soul needs a place to hide
away from reality, cold and raw.
A place where she can feel no more.

Scarred eternally by her past
but she forces the memories to always last
Time will never play a part
in healing her wounded heart.

That poor little girl on the stair!
Ageing quickly and losing her hair.
How she wishes for a life that has never been,
she tries to avoid all she has seen.

Mommy left her just crying there
and even now, people stare
at the girl’s needless loss of blood.
No-one really understood.

Would it really ever fare
that the broken girl upon the stair
should no longer have to fight
the overwhelming power of life?

All these years ago, life left a mark
and now at night she weeps in the dark
Why was life never fair
for the lonely girl on the stair?
