POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Write about anything that will come to my mind.
Her Love
Her love is so warm
Her love is so deep
Oh she makes me peacefully fall asleep
I tell her every little dirty secret
Her love I never want to regret
I love the ways she walks
I love the way she talks
Her love is so pure
Maybe she is the cure
To my drying spell
And she has me falling for her
Falling for her
And she has me falling for her
Falling for her
And she doesn't even know
I see her eyes shining like diamond
I see her teeth sparkling like water
I love the way her hair blows in the wind ...

And she has me falling for her
Falling for her
And she has me falling for her
Falling for her
And she doesn't even know
I see her eyes shining like diamond
I see her teeth sparkling like water
I love the way her hair blows in the wind ...

Crush
I see her sitting down over there
I am wondering what she is thinking about
I wonder how she feels
I wonder if she knows her looks could kill
I see her walking by
She is so independent
She makes me sigh
When she is sad
I never want to see her cry
I never want to see her lose smile
Maybe one day
I'll ask her if she wants to hangout for awhile
But what should I say?
I see her looking at me
and i look away
I will just wait another day
What is the rush
She just might another crush
That will...

Without You
Is it to much to say,
I do not won't you to go away,
Is it to much to say,
I just want you to stay,
Is it to much to say,
I am not going to be okay without you,
without you
I wake up and see your not there
I look around to see your stare
Then I recognize that you are not here
I guess you never really cared
I go on with my day,
Pretending everything will be okay,
I go on with my day,
Thinking everything will remain the same,
I go on with the day,
Wondering where did you go?
Where did you go
I wake up and see...
I do not won't you to go away,
Is it to much to say,
I just want you to stay,
Is it to much to say,
I am not going to be okay without you,
without you
I wake up and see your not there
I look around to see your stare
Then I recognize that you are not here
I guess you never really cared
I go on with my day,
Pretending everything will be okay,
I go on with my day,
Thinking everything will remain the same,
I go on with the day,
Wondering where did you go?
Where did you go
I wake up and see...

Wonder
close my eyes waiting for everything to go away
I open my eyes and see what will happen today
I look at myself in the mirror
and see the reflection of my past
looking back at me
I remember everything
All the good and bad
Everything has just gone so fast
I begin wondering where did it all go
I’ve lost friends and family
Along the way
I think about them each day
The time has flashed before my eyes
My mind has gone past my lies
Seeing everything flying by
Leaves me wondering why?
I close my eyes beginning to pray...

Pray
I see the sunshine coming out of the clouds today
I see the rain wash away
and I'm smiling
I bow my head down and fold my hands to pray
Praying that everything will be okay.

Dead Man's Hand
Shot down
Blood on your hands
Sundown
Time to ride on out
Until dusk and a new day
Leave the dawn along with the night
Cold blood
Running down your shoes
Cold blood
Killing your cool
Cold blood
Caught up in a ruse
You took your stand
Did what any other man would do
Caught yourself before you even fail
Dead man down
Dead man down
Dead man down
Covered by the Dead man's hand
Gun smoke
Blew its way
Cold blood
Took its toll
On those who needed to be served
Curiosity killed the cat
But...
Blood on your hands

Is This Where It Ends?
Mother earth is breaking apart
The seas are washing apart
Breaking ground the core
Is now and nobody knows how
Grass turning dead
The sky is getting red
Is this where it ends?
Is this where begins?
All these questions
that seek an answer
What can cure this cancer?
No one knows
Where everything goes
What message does this send?
Is this where it ends?
Shallow and cold
No money is here
We have been told
Soon our souls will be sold
To the beast thats haunts
What is out of control
Is this where it...
The seas are washing apart

No one knows

No money is here

Nothing Is No More
I just wanted to say
I miss seeing you walk my way
You and your scenery
The look on your face
Never had any disgrace
Thinking about you
Made me blush
Everything now is flushed away
Everything has broken apart
Nothing is the same anymore
I turn to look at a ghost
of your reflection
that slowly disappears
Nothing is no more
Nothing is no more
But a shadow of what was there.
You showed me the way
When I was lost in the cold
I saw your fire rise
and smelled your flames
Heating up my soul
I'm...

My Cage
Here I am wrapped up in these chains
Waiting for the anger to strike
So it can take over me
Holding on to my own personality
Before it ruins my morality
Nobody but me and Mr.Hyde
He never wants to be seen
He just might make you scream
Stuck here mingled in my cage
My new home until I find my way back
To the old reality that was once with me
Stuck in the rage I just want to free myself
From this imprisonment that has built itself around me
Please free me from this cage.
Humbled the audacity that hungers me...

To the old reality that was once with me
Stuck in the rage I just want to free myself

Please free me from this cage.

Dear Me
Dear me,
I wish you can see the brighter sides of things
Not everything can be perfect how you picture it
Not everything can be fixed in a bit
Stop torturing yourself with "What if's?"
Stop abusing your mind
Before you turn into the other guy
The guy no one wants to see
The guy that is not you.
Stop looking in the black
And look for the light
Everything that was wrong
Was never right
There was never a purpose
just a lesson to learn
You reached into the fire
and you got burned
You dream of you only desire
But...

Predicament
I predict one nation under god
Not one who acts as fraud
Laws live in lies
I guess having a voice
Doesn't have a meaningful prize
As you end up in jail
Hiding behind all the shell
"I have a dream" used to mean
Something but what was clean
Has now become dirty
Seeing to many act more than flirty
People killing people should be too
Nothing’s as simple as it used to be
What’s happen to being free
treating a wife with respect
losing your mind and beating
her to a pulp leaving her bruised ...

Reaping
Reap my pride
Reap my stride
Like a wave crashing down
On a horrid bay
Blows away everything in sight
Until you no longer see the night
Everything has been done wrong
So nothing is never right
Get out the violin so you can play the song
Now it won't be long
Reaping my time
Reaping my crime
That has burned with me with lime
Hear the clock chime
Now it won't be long
Death come for me
Death let me see
Death let me be.
Reap my stride
Like a wave crashing down
On a horrid bay
Blows away everything in sight
Until you no longer see the night
Everything has been done wrong
So nothing is never right
Get out the violin so you can play the song
Now it won't be long
Reaping my time
Reaping my crime
That has burned with me with lime
Hear the clock chime
Now it won't be long
Death come for me
Death let me see
Death let me be.
