POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
A short and sweet crash
Empires will crash
Either you do it
Or it'll do it to
Itself
Either way
It will be
Out of love
Either you do it
Or it'll do it to
Itself
Either way
It will be
Out of love

PSA
this is a
public service announcement
brought to you by
a piece of paper
and a few spots
of ink
open both eyes
take that first deep
breath
and get your joints
moving
circle the head around
and tell yourself "fuck,
another day"
why are you bitching?
I'm just a piece of
paper being
stained on
i don't have a heartbeat
but it seems like i have a
better outlook than you
then again
I'm just a piece
of paper
once i was a tree
i had a heartbeat there
my last day as a tree

do?
this notebook stayed blank
for a second
but then i hear a loud bark
my dog ran out from the room
and barked 3 times
the started wagging her tail
the i got her attention and she
rested her head on my knee
i caressed her head for about
20 minutes
telling her to stop barking
i pointed towards the room an she
went back into it
then it was quiet again
this notebook is no longer blank
do dogs have nightmares too???

and she came from seattle
my head is heavy, so much thought
can i rest on your chest
your heartbeat will lighten it
from box car races to little white lies
that grew.
i wish i was transparent
almost a ghost
we'll haunt the past
till it dies
because it doesn't matter
anymore
let it die on its own as a
matter of fact
i will never look back
i will look forward
forward into your eyes
and breathe you in
until my last breath
i will draw circles on your
back with my fingertips
until they cramp
it'll be worth the pain
then...

everybody sit, there passing the hallway
when the powder clears
and the room is
no longer LA air
and you see figures
you say to yourself
"its back to the drawing board"

and I don't want anything
Im surrounded by light
and tunes
The only attention I'm getting
is from the ceiling
yeah they don't talk back
but I don't want that
I'm scared to sleep
because I know I'm gonna dream
about you
I'm thinking about giving sheeps
the night off
I most likely won't
I want to count you
sure it doesn't make sense
but it's as clear as
shattered glass in the ocean
It's crystal
I'll sleep on one side tonight
thinking of you
hoping I don't fall into the groove
that's...

Track star
The soles of my shoes are on fire
I came along way
At one point I was 320lb
a mouth watering
but then I ran
and ran and ran and ran
To the point where I
couldn't run anymore
days of passing out
and my stomach upper cutting
me in the face
wasn't fun
Then I got comfortable
went down to 175lb
I'm 5'10 and that doesn't look
good
now I'm 230lb
I'm good where I'm at
But there's a difference
I love running
I will run anywhere
From the track to the pavements
but one thing I need to remember
Is...

the art of letting go
set across the broken way
taunting every single say
it all came from underneath
it became more than brief
everything heard
then it has occurred
feeling what i feel
will i ever heal
painted on the wall
falling as i fall
everything that i know
the art of letting go
i take a look around
a pretty vague crowd
everything came down
i heard more than just a sound
everything heard
then it has occurred
feeling what i feel

More short pieces
It amazes me how a bed can feel like the middle of winter
and not all the blankets and jackets can cover me like you can
and summers coming up
........
A body pillow doesnt have a heart beat, my body pillow doesnt have
your heart beat whats the point?
..........
I walk around with my heart on my sleeve, unfortunetly i wear sleeve
less shirts, im a rusted play ground that gets noticed once in a while
and thats ok....

the bottom line
there are trillions of poems
written about someone you
love....
this is actually another one
probably not the best one
but it'll do....for now
i can bathe this page with metaphors
but i won't...
i can write a song about you
but i won't
maybe later though
i can send you flowers
everyday till you grow old
but i won't right now
i don't get paid till friday
but right now
at this moment
and this moment will last
forever
i love you....
please keep me
its a short period...

my tomorrow
i would fall
everywhere
no one at
would even stare
i was blind
this can't be
now i find
you help me see
i want you to see
these sides and corners
look whats on these walls
breaking through
bad memories
i know you'll tear them down....
all my tears
day by day
all my fears
you wiped away
i was blind
i couldn't see
ill build a shrine
of you and me...
in a field of these times
what is sorrow?
for the sake i will say
your my tomorrow
your the key to my door
come in and see...
