POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write what I see/feel.
10 pm on a Sunday night
and as everybody else jumps into bed
I realize I don't love you
but you're my distraction, so you'll have to do

those eyes
I'm bad with words he says
as he recites a 10 page poem from inside of his head
Eloquently put
my heart skips a beat
and my face lights up
every time I hear him speak.
And i could go on and on
to write about that look in his eyes
when he gets excited
and that look in mine
when he's not around.
That creative soul i yearn for
just a few miles away,
but, in reality, he's much farther from me.

for youboy
is this how it's supposed to be?
am i still supposed to quench the fires in my soul when i think about you?
is it okay that the earth can take over and the grass can grow over cement and i'll still only think of your warm brown eyes?
is this how i'm meant to be?
hopelessly fighting your current that constantly pulls me in?

16
it's difficult to get over your petty sadness
and realize that 16 isn't forever
and the incriminating madness
that takes over
trapped inside your mind
waiting
waiting
i feel as though i'll be waiting forever
and realize that 16 isn't forever
and the incriminating madness
that takes over
trapped inside your mind
waiting

blissful rejection
i think i like the feeling of rejection
when you don't call me back
or how you never seem to care
cause when i send you a funny message
or get 10 rings
i always know that you're still somewhat there
so i think i like that feeling of rejection
only because
it belongs to you
when you don't call me back
or how you never seem to care
cause when i send you a funny message
or get 10 rings
i always know that you're still somewhat there
so i think i like that feeling of rejection
only because
it belongs to you

disconnected
I drink coffee that is hard to swallow
and leaves a sad aftertaste
while talking to friends whom i dislike
wondering all the while, through
these shallow conversations
am i really alive?

wanted
i have wanted You to want me for the longest now
to be the object of Your affections
and here i am
years later
Still dreaming of Your sweet face
i have wanted You to want me
for the longest now
but
i will settle
for second best
to be the object of Your affections
and here i am
years later
Still dreaming of Your sweet face
i have wanted You to want me
for the longest now
but
i will settle
for second best

;
the rain falls slow
as though it has all the time
in the
world
and
it sloppily kisses my skin
leaving drops of water
evidence of my love with the storm

like an ocean
your sadness is deep
like the ocean
what I would give
to see your upturned lips
in a fragmented smile;
like the ocean
your pull is overwhelming
and
like the ocean
I can't help but
drown in you
like the ocean
what I would give
to see your upturned lips
in a fragmented smile;
like the ocean
your pull is overwhelming
and
like the ocean
I can't help but
drown in you

P.M. loathing
it is the middle of the night
maybe even later
and
i cannot disguise this
hatred
I feel
towards me
maybe even later
and
i cannot disguise this
hatred
I feel
towards me

You
you smoke your cigarettes
and make idle conversation
laughing at jokes and lighting up another one
we walk down the busy streets
taking drags one after another
but as we wait for the bus
and you’re down to your last inhale
and your last bit of conversation
I see that you have
run out of things to
numb yourself with
and make idle conversation
laughing at jokes and lighting up another one
we walk down the busy streets
taking drags one after another
but as we wait for the bus
and you’re down to your last inhale
and your last bit of conversation
I see that you have
run out of things to
