POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
<3
I’m in love with love itself
Often I’m put on the shelf
Time’s have changed for this young man
I’m gonna love as many as I can
One can give me enough time
Only one can make me lose my mind
So give me fingers on my hand
‘Cause I’m gonna love you as I can
Please don’t get the wrong idea
I’m gonna go with how I feel
Making games up, I can’t stand
They will never give as much as I can
Often I’m put on the shelf
Time’s have changed for this young man
I’m gonna love as many as I can
One can give me enough time
Only one can make me lose my mind
So give me fingers on my hand
‘Cause I’m gonna love you as I can
Please don’t get the wrong idea
I’m gonna go with how I feel
Making games up, I can’t stand
They will never give as much as I can

Camera
Everything in front of me is bold and saturated
Yet I feel my battery running low
The sky is out of focus and hard to look at
It doesn’t help that it rained on my lenses
I no longer wish to be touched by human hands
All I do is stare
Yet I feel my battery running low
The sky is out of focus and hard to look at
It doesn’t help that it rained on my lenses
I no longer wish to be touched by human hands
All I do is stare

Wind
I appreciate the feeling of wind
The sound of wind chimes
And water- carving through steady streams
I can see the moon for the first time,
It blinds me
A good soul lays on my lap, the head of a dog's
Voiceless company, I fall hopelessly in love
My inner thoughts are heard
They speak poetically
The sound of wind chimes
And water- carving through steady streams
I can see the moon for the first time,
It blinds me
A good soul lays on my lap, the head of a dog's
Voiceless company, I fall hopelessly in love
My inner thoughts are heard
They speak poetically

Jerk?
I’ve seen myself in the lowest place
I swore I’d never be that way
Now I stare into her eyes
Disconnected from the heart strings
I swore I’d never be that way
Now I stare into her eyes
Disconnected from the heart strings

Tears of a new mother,
Soreness of a boxer
Hearing of an eagle,
Patience of a cat
Stomach of a needle,
Head of a brick
Feet of a runner,
Nerves of a shock collar
Soreness of a boxer
Hearing of an eagle,
Patience of a cat
Stomach of a needle,
Head of a brick
Feet of a runner,
Nerves of a shock collar

The Many Faces of Aurora Borealis
Protector by day, heathen by night
A breaker of hearts and an advocate for love
She hears all, sees all, tastes all
Not a secret is kept secret from her
Why, the galaxy lies within her hair
Red roots like the rising dawn
The first to wake and the last to sleep
A breaker of hearts and an advocate for love
She hears all, sees all, tastes all
Not a secret is kept secret from her
Why, the galaxy lies within her hair
Red roots like the rising dawn
The first to wake and the last to sleep

What Are You Waiting For?
Millions of people say he’ll return
Satan will be no more
And the Heavens will shine upon the earth
When?
The devil is in our entertainment
We’re surrounded by false gods
Men have killed in the name of Christ
Son of God, biotin from a virgin,
If you were sent to defeat Satan,
What are you waiting for?
Satan will be no more
And the Heavens will shine upon the earth
When?
The devil is in our entertainment
We’re surrounded by false gods
Men have killed in the name of Christ
Son of God, biotin from a virgin,
If you were sent to defeat Satan,
What are you waiting for?

Phone Call
The phone rings…
It’s a telemarketer
My cell dings…
It’s my mother
A notification…
Spam mail
A vibration…
I imagined it
Every time, my breath quickens
I hope it’s you
I never longed so much
For two words:
I’m sorry
It’s a telemarketer
My cell dings…
It’s my mother
A notification…
Spam mail
A vibration…
I imagined it
Every time, my breath quickens
I hope it’s you
I never longed so much
For two words:
I’m sorry

Let Me Go
I miss you
Not the demon taking you hostage
I tried to exorcise you
But it’s done too much damage
You’re a good person
And I love you
The worst thing I could do
Is enable you
Not the demon taking you hostage
I tried to exorcise you
But it’s done too much damage
You’re a good person
And I love you
The worst thing I could do
Is enable you

My dreams feel for me
I’ve nothing but emptiness
You were a dream without sleep
Now you’re a waking nightmare
Mentally fragile,
Didn’t bother me at all
You died out of guilt
And rose above mushroom graves
You’ve become a stranger
My ears cursed with drunken babbling
Lie to me, lie to yourself
You knew I could never be yours
Give me back my time
Turn your clock back to two months
Make the right choice
And leave me alone
I’ve nothing but emptiness
You were a dream without sleep
Now you’re a waking nightmare
Mentally fragile,
Didn’t bother me at all
You died out of guilt
And rose above mushroom graves
You’ve become a stranger
My ears cursed with drunken babbling
Lie to me, lie to yourself
You knew I could never be yours
Give me back my time
Turn your clock back to two months
Make the right choice
And leave me alone

Reach
All this reaching has left me sleepy
Maybe if I dream, I’ll wake up to a new set of arms
Before I knew it, I heard voices
Not from above, but beneath the clouds
Endearing souls of all ages
Reaching out to me
Maybe if I dream, I’ll wake up to a new set of arms
Before I knew it, I heard voices
Not from above, but beneath the clouds
Endearing souls of all ages
Reaching out to me

Nature’s Injury
So weak
This injury from nature
Tires me so
Funny,
How I must nurture
This body when
It's host desires
No life inside of it
Oh, the humanity
This injury from nature
Tires me so
Funny,
How I must nurture
This body when
It's host desires
No life inside of it
Oh, the humanity
