POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
since before I can remember, I have been writing the thoughts that only a pen and paper want to say....... I am quiet, reserved, very particular and observant. I am a Scorpio.
LOSING ME
Tell me what to do...not!
I am listening to something else.
I heard you on the phone with her.
My stomach goes in knots.
I have told you once,
a thousand times,
quit talking to her.
Quit telling lies.
I've drank my sorrows far away.
You encourage me that it's all o k.
No sooner out come those words you speak,
and you're at it again ,
with your fake-ass friend.
You're out of time
and I'm out of patience.
Ive warned you how I can be so ugly.
Its not a crime,
so you simply take it.
You'll regret when you lose...

PEOPLE
Simple people go through changes.
Hardened people ignore the truth.
Enchanted people invent privileges
that saddened people wish they could do.
Honest people feel everyone's pain.
Crazy people wear many disguises.
Special people are a labor of love.
All these people make compromises...
to live.

ADDICTION
(Hitler invented a form of meth in WWII so his soldiers would stay awake and fight longer.)
Unborn
Unheard
Unwelcome
He comes,
in an earthquake of splendor;
"Evil Thief of Forever".
Controller of direction
for all of the woes-
an individual can imagine.
He patiently slows.
In a mask-
In a castle-
Guiding light-
He persuades:
- the naive to follow
- and the old to obey.
Whichever outfit imagined,
as a prince or as a moon;
he can do it to destroy me
if I allow Him to.

CHIEF
Claim to be significant as one chief to another,
love as much your stranger here just as you do your brother.
A chill runs deep inside of thee looking for sincerity-
To question what you say is true is a gamblers insecurity.....
Taller than an ancient oak with tougher layers of skin,
standing by the words you speak is how a chief should win.
Show emotion to persuade of nothing to deny.
I want to believe but deep inside I only sense a lie....
Saving yourself from an ugly exposure is what most troubles you.
Why spend the time being chief all the...

CANCER
When the pain comes let me then decide,
the direction to which I want to drive.
When the voice I speak makes no sound,
look in my eyes for the answer now.
If life really reaches this point;
(I keep hoping I make it impossible to...)
then there must be a reason to keep it going.
It simply depends on what i want to do.
It simply depends on what life wants to do.
It simply depends on who's paying attention.
If neither are present then fly me free.
Let go of the reins and run.

LIAR
I wonder how it works out in your head,
if the lie you create comes out like its said.
Do you quickly rule out more complicated thoughts,
...or simply not think at all?
But more so, I'm curious if I'm suppose to believe.
Does it matter if I accept what you say?
Are you bothered by questions because I can see
that you're so full of shit every minute, every day?
Maybe that's why you're so anxious to blame,
your miserable follies on another persons name.
Any argument started with you is from guilt,
that you own alone,
lacking substance...

GUILT
Remembering your violent arguments past ,
does nothing to help you realize today,
that the person you experienced those episodes with,
keeps you stuck in a rut of increasing decay.
Break free from the anxiety of repeated behavior.
Are you really naive to what I do?
Or, are you pretending that you can't move on,
because of some dream that has always been wrong?
Or maybe, you are just selfish and cold,
clinging onto the new and also the old.
You give me no chance when she doesn't deserve one.
In time you will ask and the answer will be none....

ABSENCE
I anticipated a sort of disappointment.
I had no idea what it would be.
I thought about it all the time.
It would invade my every dream.
I questioned what your loyalty would be.
I really had no clue.
Absence is the only test,
that brings out what people do.
Not only was my disappointment
more than I suspected.
It saddened my heart to realize
you didn't try to prevent it.
I guess I need to really decide
what it is I should do with you in my life.
I am beside myself not knowing the way.
What I thought I knew doesn't help...

AFTER- LIFE
20 steps up to the pearly gates
-someone counted and wrote it in a book.
God awaits in a dress
as we negotiate
our loyalty among the others that will look.
kings and queens make their mark
by events that change a world;
- and laws become the guidelines
for every boy and girl.
Led always by the hand
and seldom by the voice,
billboards of society
don't offer any choice.
We do what we are told
or we will not survive.
So, I ask , do you believe
that there is an after-life??

LOVE
You are cruel.
You invade my voice.
I wish you invisible,
but it's not my choice.
All my years,
have been devoted to you.
You nasty little feeling
that I don't want to....
own or borrow or recognize.
I don't even have a decent disguise.
When I try to ignore you ,
You disrupt my sleep,
my morning , my lunch, my everything.
Just go away and I would be just fine.
I might be able to focus and make sense of my life.
My world somehow became devoted to you,
successfully ruining everything I pursue.
Realistically...
