POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write because I'm Happy... I write because I'm Sad... With pen in hand, I write gladly Therefore, I write because I can...
Easy, As Arduous Can Be
Easy, as arduous can be
Even for amateur novices like me
To ink, the opposite of obvious
...Ambiguously...
Promising, to turn Pro
Free...As though, I was an ex-Con first
And the last one to know
That I was destined to ride...
In the back of a hearse
From the day of my birth
To the night where I lurk
...With the darkness...
There...I just flirt with the light
I just search for a fight
Then I find peace
When I'm high as a kite
'Til I'm low as the tide
When, it goes to hide, and recede to the sea
Easy, as arduous can...
Even for amateur novices like me
To ink, the opposite of obvious
...Ambiguously...
Promising, to turn Pro
Free...As though, I was an ex-Con first
And the last one to know
That I was destined to ride...
In the back of a hearse
From the day of my birth
To the night where I lurk
...With the darkness...
There...I just flirt with the light
I just search for a fight
Then I find peace
When I'm high as a kite
'Til I'm low as the tide
When, it goes to hide, and recede to the sea
Easy, as arduous can...

I Want My Poetry To...
I want my poetry to...
Be stoically cool & unaffected
For whosoever that views
What I poetically do
Gains innumerable clues to my perspective
I want my poetry to...
Be stories through, which, historically proves that I've been here
I need my ink made of food
For all to consume
So I know that everyone eats well
These tales, of mine
Any memorable lines
I want shared, with someone, who ain't been there
I want my poetry to...
Be told to a few
Compelled, those few choose to go re-tell
Spreading news, of my poems, in detail...

Of Despair
Chilled by the wet wind
Finding no comfort
Disoriented, but lucid in the moment
Of despair
I know I'll overcome it
But it'll always be there
The weight
Not to heavy to not lift up
Nice & steady 'til you get a hunch
Back Quasimodo
Almost the standard measure of a human
Cold and alone, I seek seclusion
Simply afraid
Not wantin' to partake in the confusion
I stay awake
When all I really wanna do is rest
I hesitate
Gather myself & still overreact
I'm a mess!
In a messed up place
Where gloom is in...

I Am Pain!
I am pain!
Unwanted like a fecal stain
Disappointed & dismayed
Was sane, until my crazy came
I wither in the cold embrace
Of fear
Therefore I am afraid
I veer, although the road is straight
Into a place of utter hate & anguish
Where hope can not escape
I'm dangerous
My faith's been laid to waste
I languish
In a pit of pure decay
For ages, I've been doomed to repeat this angst
The horror caused my fall from grace
The sorrow in my heart is great
I'm late!
My time can't be replaced
If it could, I'd wait... But I...

Look & See
I've looked!
What I have seen could fill countless reams of boundless books
Primary themes of vivid greens and scenes that bled in fiery reds
Viewed in hues of brilliant blues
I've watched the living and the dead
I saw the old and the new
Despite the lies, I saw the truth
For within my eyes, lies proof
Through tears I've cried, I looked!
Often mistook the signs, like I was blind
But my eyesight was good
As only I could, I prayed...
To see through haze
To see beyond things in my way
To behold what's in my face
With faith, I prayed to...

Nothing Compares
To: YOU
Not one thing...No, not one dream
Or, any I've ever had
Could convince me, to aspire for more, than what I already have
...In YOU!...
While most seek their better halves
Desperately beseeched, measurements askew
Fitful, restless happenstance
Is what we've been ingrained to pursue
But I've become aware of an unconditional Love, that's vehemently true!
Complete, and whole unto herself
Owned by no man
Yet gladly shares her wealth with anyone who requires what she provides
And at some point and time, we all realize, how much we...
