POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm just sayin'...
Sadness.
When tomorrows sadness is with me today.
I long for yesterday.
So today will not be.
And tomorrow never comes.
This feels like fear.
Loan me yesterday anew.
To lose the sadness of today.
And pray I will not fear tomorrow...
I long for yesterday.

And tomorrow never comes.

Loan me yesterday anew.
To lose the sadness of today.
And pray I will not fear tomorrow...

I find this profound.
The past cannot tell me who I am. The past is a construct of the mind. It blinds me and tricks me into believe it. My heart wants to live in the present. This is where I will find who I am".
A quote from the new "Total Recall" movie. The strangest places. we find them.

Reclaimed paths..
All the little pieces that I need to make me,
are the same little pieces that you need as well.
There's only so many pieces and so many more people,
and we all have a story to tell.
So every single time a piece of me is taken,
a place is marked down the track.
Here comes the time to re write the story...
The time to take those pieces back.

Weathered..
Tell me about the storm of a lifetime,
I'll tell you about love...

Rushing..
I did a course on circular thinking.
I was asked to leave.
Said I kept cutting corners..
No diploma, again..

I am..
I want to be the one that can say.
It's going to be ok, I'm here. I've got you..
It's going to be ok, I'm here. I've got you..

breath
so as they've laid him down to sleep
their night will hold not 'ere a peep
he laid there waiting wired awake
for the first trill cries of a world at hate
the fall of one gave rise to the next
set of pathways that lead him away from the nest
and a laugh is a cry once you've cried till you laughed
nine stitches sewn in to save time for the past
searing holes through his soul cigar burns of sorrow
in yesterday's nightmares are the cries of tomorrow
kicking so hard to get out of the shallows
a life saving hand...

Fog
It's happened before and I did nothing then.
I've done nothing now.
Every single time it split my mind I have allowed.
My space is to become vacant, and my mind is new to keep.
Tomorrow will be long so tonight I crave sleep.
With the morning I will want to cry. Though I know I won't.
And that is probably why my thoughts feel like hot, dry sand.
And holding them tight means they slip through my hand.
So I will do what I can to stave of a slip.
With all of my dreams compressed in this grip.
With rest on the creep I'm standing knee deep in a full days...

Static f**k
The static rain her tears..
In each orbed prism distorted fears.
Her strength was removed.
By the words that he used.
So strong and tall says he.
A man apart.
By standing on her gentle heart.
The gains he claims of false impress.
But he won't release this flowing dress.
You gutless fuck I despise you so!
You weak, spineless prick!
Let her go..

Following anger..
When yesterday's anger is still with me today.
I wish for tomorrow.
I long for another feeling.
This feels like danger.
The stench of hate is on my breath.
I can taste it in my tears.
Seeping through my skin.
Infecting my every thought.
Muscles aching with frustration.
I want to lash out. I need to lash out.
But the anger is mine alone.
Not for another.
It is too strong.
The damage caused would be unfixable.
I could not live with that.
So I seethe..
The pressure builds as I hold it in.
It wants release.
But I must...
