POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I like to write about any and everything I've experienced or come accross. I started writing poetry at age fifteen, got a few poems published but stopped after a year or so. Then a few years ago I started writing a poem per day. Now I write when I g
Pretend to know me
Your image in God
Is still speaking to me
On these maze like streets
Men that look like you on every street corner
Seeming to pose as you, pretending to still have something to do with me
It's as if you have told some kind of devil your secrets
But then I remember...
God created so many like you, he multiplied the earth
With your genetics
To share your expressions
Your angry spells
To capture your smile
To steal your laughter,
But like you
They are all deceiving faces, I lose
They pretend to have known me
Cause...

Nightingale Guard Me
Sing to me
Show me your new moon
Raise your wings high above me
Show me your midnight flights
Black blankets of clouds follow
May your flight raise you above, beyond
The misty haze of yesterday
Let me feel the air lifting
Beneath your wings of serenity
Guard me
With your watchful gaze
Shield me, great one
Don't let me fall
From the cruel skies
Of winter
Show me your new moon
Raise your wings high above me
Show me your midnight flights
Black blankets of clouds follow
May your flight raise you above, beyond
The misty haze of yesterday
Let me feel the air lifting
Beneath your wings of serenity
Guard me
With your watchful gaze
Shield me, great one
Don't let me fall
From the cruel skies
Of winter

Crying out
I'm just a child
Crying out for your love
I have a worry doll
I throw out all kinds of worries
To a giant sized world
I'm just a child crying for
A angel to come hold me
To show me the meaning of love
I'm just full of crys
For every single day
I don't feel a Angel's love,
Reigning down upon me
I have a long satin blanket
That soaks up my every tear
But tears can't stop
Until I feel a blessed one
Reign warm light
Upon me
Crying out for your love
I have a worry doll
I throw out all kinds of worries
To a giant sized world
I'm just a child crying for
A angel to come hold me
To show me the meaning of love
I'm just full of crys
For every single day
I don't feel a Angel's love,
Reigning down upon me
I have a long satin blanket
That soaks up my every tear
But tears can't stop
Until I feel a blessed one
Reign warm light
Upon me

Trying to
Trying to
Capture mystical elephants again
Following their random forms
All around me
Staring, squinting, blinking again
In an effort to follow their psychedelic paths that lead to sundials in the sky
Sundials that expand and retract
Sparkle away from my view
I'm wondering where
the sun is hidden to
Perhaps a different time of day
That escaped me, when I was younger
I search for a lotus flowers
many shapes, smells,
Contemplating being in the moment
Being in this very moment
Capture mystical elephants again
Following their random forms
All around me
Staring, squinting, blinking again
In an effort to follow their psychedelic paths that lead to sundials in the sky
Sundials that expand and retract
Sparkle away from my view
I'm wondering where
the sun is hidden to
Perhaps a different time of day
That escaped me, when I was younger
I search for a lotus flowers
many shapes, smells,
Contemplating being in the moment
Being in this very moment

Baby moon cloud
I got a dream
A dream of you and me
Relaxed and comfortably drifting
Without a care
On the high, puffy,
white baby moon cloud number 12
Drifting in s soft blissful state
As other puffy heavenly clouds
Swim by
Forming smiling baby faces
Whispering soft lullabies to us
Winking and smiling
Happy go lucky smiles
Lovely as a baby's soft happy smile
I got a dream
We're out vacationing
Up in the puffy, baby, powdery,
Soft clouds
Where Casper the Friendly Ghost
Smokes the purest cigar poofs
Onto me...
A dream of you and me
Relaxed and comfortably drifting
Without a care
On the high, puffy,
white baby moon cloud number 12
Drifting in s soft blissful state
As other puffy heavenly clouds
Swim by

Whispering soft lullabies to us
Winking and smiling
Happy go lucky smiles
Lovely as a baby's soft happy smile

We're out vacationing
Up in the puffy, baby, powdery,
Soft clouds
Where Casper the Friendly Ghost
Smokes the purest cigar poofs

Temporary material substance
Your fighting to survive
Living with half an angel wing and a knife to fight
You pray that your soul gets saved if you see a arch angel is out
You pray hard that your soul gets saved
While you deceive the poor
Letting them take shelter under your half ripped wing
Have them begging for mercy
At the cost of your selfish addictions, spawning your selfish hate
You smear it onto anyone like
army paste
Who
Will latch on long enough
To get your temporary substance?
The substance
That you can't even rely...

Bully calling out to me
Under the glowing moon that's refusing
To shine for me
Melting it's rays at me
Capturing my glimmer somehow
Here I'm trying to somehow
spend time by myself
Around these angel kids somehow
Where the misplaced ones are calling
Out to me, in distorted ways
With the rough misshapen
Words of a bully
That's picking on them somehow
To shine for me
Melting it's rays at me
Capturing my glimmer somehow
Here I'm trying to somehow
spend time by myself
Around these angel kids somehow
Where the misplaced ones are calling
Out to me, in distorted ways
With the rough misshapen
Words of a bully
That's picking on them somehow

Angel feathers
Caught in this troubling moment
That wants to burn me with regret
I reach out hoping to catch
Angel feathers,
Pouring like rain,
From on high
Angel feathers that soothe
A worried mind
They dispell confusion that
Wants to dive into me
Splashed circumstances
That changes minds
Sinking despair
That takes you to morphed places
Angel feathers
I shuffle inbetween
Worried fingers
I wish
For
Serenity
That wants to burn me with regret
I reach out hoping to catch
Angel feathers,
Pouring like rain,
From on high
Angel feathers that soothe
A worried mind
They dispell confusion that
Wants to dive into me
Splashed circumstances
That changes minds
Sinking despair
That takes you to morphed places
Angel feathers
I shuffle inbetween
Worried fingers
I wish
For
Serenity

Your love is Demon
Your love is Demon
Not attainable
You got some illegal activity to do
Your love is Demon
You want to tell me what to do

You're really full of hidden hatred

You're secretly out of my reach
I can never get a hold of you

Your Dysfunctional Command of this Ship
Your command of this ship
It's dysfunctional
Throw all your crew overboard
Duck and cover
Your crooked motion
Gets everybody lost
And seasick
The steering wheel reverberating
Wheels the ship along
Cause
you've jumped over in
Disolutionment

Duck and cover
Your crooked motion
Gets everybody lost
And seasick
The steering wheel reverberating
Wheels the ship along
Cause

Jealous
Call me up jealous
I'm your abstract illusion to get even
When there is no hidden alley
For me to turn down
Run down to escape
You throw a party near me
Got to grab my attention like a fool and get down
Blow up the music like a blimp
You blast around your player music like a toy
Have fun with any girl
Who doesn't know how to say no
Lust on Rivery River
You got to show off to me
Your scarlet red car
The one that leaves scars on my expression
As you pass in your red- flamed devilish car
You ride up and down my...

Robot Of You
S is for the star in your name
You took on a deal
Signed your name away
To the business game industry
You signed away your style,
Your look,
The way you walked
The way you talked
So your manager pushed you into the deal?
What was the appeal?
You signed away your originality,
Your conscious choice,
A robot would be made of you,
To replicate you,
An encrypted seal on it,
Sold you,
Stole you,
Your muscle size evaluated,
Your height taken,
Your measurements aren't mistaken
A image,
Code...
