POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Love freestyle; still learning to do "planned prose" to spread my horizons in writing. Also here to express and experience brutal, hardcore poetry . Thank you DU for the outlet.
Peek at my Apple
I am not a criminal.
I am not your average.
Hell, I am not enough even an affirmative
Action.
You can peel away at me, but still
I don't believe in your statistics; I've
Gazed out the window of this asylum,
And deemed you
Lawless. I'm watching your puppet show,
And seeing you pull the strings;
I scoff at your Christ, your atheism, and
Your politics, and hope you don't
Mistake me for a fucking
Black Panther. I thought Tupac Shakur
Was stupid and ugly; Aaliyah was overrated ;
Beyonce is trying to be Britney after all ...

Any Given Rainbow
Deep as the ocean's
Infinite color,
Spectrums playing off
Your clear eyes,
Any given rainbow signifying
Your moods-- but
You don't see the shadows
Creeping around the
Crevices of your mind.
Do you mind if I smoke
After we fuck, or
Does that remain a sin
To you?
Disapproval of my
Filthy language makes me
Wonder how you
Became so pristine?
I'll blame the hood
For my crude behavior.
My father was never around,
So I can't let go
And your gospel doesn't reach
My closed conscience.
Albeit, you talk a...

Straw
"Don't be scared..."
"I', m not.....", I swallow my anxiety in a deep breath
As we count to 3 in our heads, hoping this little experiment
Won't be a bust.
One, we shyly let down our guards
Two, your touch emits a burning shiver
Three, we both close our eyes as we lean in closer:
-Curtains-
Suddenly, a rush of maddening chi zips through our veins
And pierces some deep vortex, exploding in ultraviolet lightening flashes confetti bursts nuclear bomb; mad carousels,...

Atheism: a Romance
God,
Don't leave me in
The jagged clutches of
Humility; let me fight
And give me wings
To be free.
I'm too black to
Blush perfectly;
My eyes are too screwed
Up from experiences
To see
You.
Lifelong roots
That have kept my
Soul chained
Are loosening their
Gripping veins
From all of
My perceptions of
Reality.
It's too ugly to know
That you've winced
From this wretched
Nature that you've
Created me.
I have sought refuge
In a cross only to find
That me and you
Are still lost to...

Apology to Nature
I can't,
As a guru,
Find the right way
To atone for my
Heinous crimes against
You.
I just hope
One day you'd
Understand my
Industrial deeds,
Digital visions, and
Political mission,
And not hold
It against me
When I slaughter
Your forests and
Ravage your animals
And litter your oceans.
These mountains and
Hills and woods are empty spaces
Potential for great
Businesses suitable for
A demanding era
That must be entertained
Through the
Depression.
The stocks this enterprise
Can reap will...

Xavier
It's like a dream every
Time I see him on the corner
Of 5th. He won't remember;
No, he might
Things that pass by my
Thoughts as I get closer.
We were friends
In junior high; I played violin,
He the viola--
He was quiet and more serious
About life than I was
For some reason. He
Often had a bruise,
Or even cuts, whenever
I noticed, and had a
Very sad look in his
Eyes like he needed
To cry.
One night, I came to
His house to return
A hat he left behind
On the bus; then
I heard the lashes, bumping
Walls,...

You are a sexual innuendo in this
Burnt out paradise--
PLAGIArIST!
InFORmanT!
We can argue back and forth, but does that
Lilting British accent make you right?
a bum living off the beach hitting on
blow-up dolls and nOnconscience. We never gave
a fuck about the Sun, merciless entity
Lying to us about a beautiful Summer
In technicolor fantasy.
But we think the shades can protect us
From the truth
The senile TOuRisTs vacationing with their last
Breath, contemplating suicide As they watch

G Spot
Could this
Moment be another
First kiss? Slight
Tingles wound tautly
Within my reluctant
Bosom
Emitting
Shrouded gazes, pursed
Yearning, closed
Vexation,
Decided jealousy.
Thought she was
So pretty
That I ignored
Her on purpose.
After all, I'll be damned
If I'm
Another one
Of those
Statistics
On the
Unfortunate list.
But, when she
Approached
Closer, I found
My averted
Eyes striking
The confidential nerve
Of blushes, girlie-
-Gushy-goodie-googoo-
-gaga-giggling...

Shrouding my

Wallflower
If she could
Take back everything, she
Would.
Let's not make the
Same clandestine
Mistake of
Atoning for some unrequited
Love. Sleeping
With various
Enemies has kept
Her nauseous. The
Magnolias full
Bloom often reminds
Her of being
A virgin in that distant
Room; living in
The shame of an
Airheaded butterfly with
It's wings torn off,
Because it's gotten
To the point she's
A fucking nobody.
It's gotten to the
Point that her
Depression is the
Party that she
Throws and waits
For...
