POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm not a poet. Poets can smell color and taste seasons. Poets can make vomit sound beautiful. I just write and hope it comes out well. :)
Stages Of Grief
SHOCK AND DENIAL:
Liar! I scream out in a daze of disbelief
Too much grief
With no relief
Steals my soul like a thief
How could you say such a lie
No time for bye
Why can't I cry
Not even a sigh
Your lies, they won't be bought
My stomach's in a knot
I feel like I've been shot
I won't accept your stupid plot
PAIN AND GUILT:
So many words, left unsaid
Spiraling around in my head
As heavy as lead
No where for them to spread
The anguish is...

My Protector
I suffer day by day
Beaten and tortured
Food is rare and so am I
For nothing dwells upon my bones
Cold bitter weather forever blows
For there's no doors
No windows in the camp
No blankets and thin clothes
No shoes on my feet, they're hidden
Worn socks rest upon them
Nothing to warm my body
Nothing to warm my heart
I will die soon
For this foolish man wants
all to die for his own
His own human race
My father left me something
Before he went on with the soldiers
Jesus was inscribed in...

Suicidal Thoughts
Full of grief, misery and pain
Condemned with a blemished soul
unable to be disabled
Destroyed since creation
created from destruction.
Relished in erotic pleasures
that bring no pleasure to my heart
Crippled by my weakness
but strong in my beliefs
though it cannot help my soul
For I know soon I will
for no reason at all, die
there is no purpose to live
so farewell
for I am the one left far behind

I Give My Ode To The Cross
Never forgotten will thou ever be
Blood stained by the man who gave His life for me
Blemished with unblemished blood
from His side water drained
thou art warped from the flood
Holes from the nails dwell upon thine arms
thou hast killed a faultless man who didst no harm
Thou remind the world of what He did for all
'till He returns on a cloud to make His final call
The story thou tellest is the greatest there will ever be
the sweet love, joy, peace, and harmony
Thou speak of the man fastened to thy tree
who looked to God, "forgive...
Blood stained by the man who gave His life for me
Blemished with unblemished blood
from His side water drained
thou art warped from the flood
Holes from the nails dwell upon thine arms
thou hast killed a faultless man who didst no harm

'till He returns on a cloud to make His final call
