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
Numbing remorses
You spend all your time in bars
Down my street
Selling arguments to every stranger
You want to have the last word
Have the last say...
Your quick to buy a lonely girl
a drink
Tag her with a sick joke
I look inside your brew
There is a hate
Oh the twisted words
You will create
Tornadoes of slurs
You rap them out for me
Like your in some kind of game show
Got to win evil points
For the demons?
I wonder does your consciousness work anymore?

Foggy Day
Foggy Day,
The kind that some call
Coffee days
Becon s me to get lost in myself
Around a black hole kind of moon
Covered up by larger than dense clouds.
The color that the sun gives to life
Is gone
All I seem to see is a black
And white disconnected world
The sun is nothing but
A candle flicker
In a cup on my table with lunch
The sun's energizing rays are lost
My energy is easily drained
By anykind of rudeness
Especially the kind a random person
Subjects me to.
I feel like a walking Zombie...

I want to claim your heavenly body
You chased me around like lightening
I'm a blazing flame
You blew brighter
You alighted my senses
In hidden places, with your stares
You smoked my hazy mist at midnight
You memorize me
I'm blurring with passions
I can't tame
Even if I tried
Won't want to tame
These passions alighted In your glow
Under hidden heavens in the sky
Your a grace I want to claim
Want to claim a grace
From your heavenly body
I'm a blazing flame
You blew brighter
You alighted my senses
In hidden places, with your stares
You smoked my hazy mist at midnight
You memorize me
I'm blurring with passions
I can't tame
Even if I tried
Won't want to tame
These passions alighted In your glow
Under hidden heavens in the sky
Your a grace I want to claim
Want to claim a grace
From your heavenly body

Your Distorted Ways
You guide me forward
By chances and rickety boats that crash
Your endless knot is tied with
Tempting reasons that slide away
You always call out at me
From behind your back
Hoping I notice you
In large crowds
Where your distorted face
Performs for me
You melt away from the stage
If I face you too quickly
My shouts on stage get jumbled
Behind your lost reasons
Of yesterday
By chances and rickety boats that crash
Your endless knot is tied with
Tempting reasons that slide away
You always call out at me
From behind your back
Hoping I notice you
In large crowds
Where your distorted face
Performs for me
You melt away from the stage
If I face you too quickly
My shouts on stage get jumbled
Behind your lost reasons
Of yesterday

Negative Entity
One day after Halloween
I feel like a broken down drunk person
Attracting crooked dark shadows
The kind that attracted to the weak
They're persistent that they casted their forbidden shadows onto me
All around me I see unsaved people wandering, hurried with evil intent
All their energy is negative
They all appear in darkness
I look around for the saved ones
Who carry the white light
None are near me
I worry I've fallen to a dark place
I worry that I've fallen from God's grace
Riding around I begin to see a parade
Of...

Don't ever let me come down
Off of all your hope for me.
Angel, Angel
Don't let me come down off of your horse of grace
That gallops forward,
Full of determination
In motion for eternity.
Angel,
Don't ever let me stop spinning around and around
In the dance of your glory.
Don't ever let me stop hearing
Your voice from on high,
The one...
That I keep singing along to
Not knowing the words very well.
Don't ever let me come down
Off of all your hope for me.

Negative consciousness how do I
Negative consciousness...
How do I play
This losing game of mine in life?
All my fears
Wishing to come true
My nightmares beginning me near
Trying to live through me
Breathe through me
Trying to warp me into
Some kind of "on mode" of sequence
Undone
However robotic and repetitive
Negative consciousness...
Let me experience
My consciousness higher
A consciousness that keeps me
Evolving
Towards my angel of light and glory
Who draws me towards
Her silhouette of change
And regrowth ...

Demons, demons
DEMONS!
demons!
What are you good for?
What are you hear to learn
From me?
You demean me
Secretly
But I have ears to know
You pay someone to take away
My man.
You even try to control guardian angels
In the streets
With your racist money, evil deeds
You pay off
With racist money, evil deeds
You pay off
Call me a fool
Like I'm a stupid soul
You all racists
You demons!
One day it will go down in History

Your prejudiced color
You judge my race, can't see my face
You drive your cursed attitude
all the way around town and back again
You ignore my face,
except to make one at me
You in rushing haste, call me a disgrace
I'm a unwelcome guest
You didn't invite into your scene
It's all about your fiene
You say your bad neighborhood
Is too dangerous for me
I'm too naive in your community
I'll never be more than a outsider
Who will be called awkward names,
Won't know the game
I don't belong facing you head on
You sit sideways,...

Guardian Angel man
I'm so into you...
A million times more in love, all the time
Love how you whisper soft sweet nothing's in my ear at night
It's the way your wings caress and embrace my back lovingly
Your love whispers words, don't hold back, hold me like a baby in your grasp
You are worth gold to me, a million years, I'll live for you
You help free my lonely broken heart
I keep reaching out to find your wings
Wings that fit into my heart that's been shot with so many confusing demon arrows
Demon laughs, moches, instilled fears
Guardian Angel man, I long...

Blue figure eight
You are like a bunch
of forbidden figure eights
No matter how I try,
I can never quite turn them into
A king of hearts
You are attractive like a blazing fire,
Casting fiery sparks into the frozen winter air's chill
Your ray of light is addictive, I'm addicted
Got to collect your rays, your fire flies, like Christmas lights,
When I most need to decorate the space
Space that counts, keeps track of how far away I am from you, tugging me like a rope that I can't seem to grip
A segmented chess board stares me in the face from every corner ...

Without Trust
From the beginning,
you splashed too many grand promises out at me
Promises
that you didn't have time to prove,
if they were for me,
Or meant for another
that you were hiding secretly
I remember your innocent smiles,
a lying disguise you wore well
Your wondering personality,
I was foolish to dance with you
You couldn't hold onto strong emotions
Your moves acted interrupted
You were self absorbed,
you were a fish caught in your own net
Drowning in my sea,
with no respect for the water
I couldn't sort...
