POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Cognitive style, love lost, pain & redemption
Conscience, Death, Irrationality
Suicide, a pill hard to swallow
Shifting heads, wayward sparrow
Despair, demise take a look around
Perception of faith, stop motion film
Libations, tears, drown in a pond
Drain, drain, emotional fear
Escape that tunnel with no exit light
To an open space, nothing but white
Abnormality, abomination you say
Incomprehensible this standard way
Self explanitory nightmare, never wake
World irrational, I am but sane
Shifting heads, wayward sparrow
Despair, demise take a look around
Perception of faith, stop motion film
Libations, tears, drown in a pond
Drain, drain, emotional fear
Escape that tunnel with no exit light
To an open space, nothing but white
Abnormality, abomination you say
Incomprehensible this standard way
Self explanitory nightmare, never wake
World irrational, I am but sane

They say action speak louder than words
Write me back...
Your inaction deafens me
Write me back...
Your inaction deafens me

To Feel Again
I once was down
Laissez faire, smiling clown
No matter all the thrills
The time to kill
Cannot deny self contempt
Destruction I attempt
Make new friends
Chip away frozen heart
Excitement herein... null
No tumultuous fellings of joy
Being toyed, void, avoid
Emotional impotence remain...
You make me feel again
Trivial conversation regain meaning
Thoughts of your voice, your touch, your breath, your kiss..
Lonliness when alone no more
Pulse..
A simple beat
Philo..
Uplifting sounds
I...

Takane
Beautiful flower on a lofty peak
A level higher is what you seek
Where the sparrows soar up high
My basal presence is just benign
I extend my hands as if I were close
A mirage, a selfish, delusional prose
Still, I gaze up above
Inspired by the presence that deeply touch me
The path you took up I cannot comprehend
Bring forward my desire to ascend
Never knew life was amiss
Fairweathered, blown by wind
As I am a dandilion, just a weed
Growing slowly, a sprouting seed
Still, your exposure calls forth
A wind that...

Breaking the Habit
Clouding of thoughts rewind
Ignition clarity benign
Gasping for breath unkind
Asinine bipolar fit
Reactional blockage of shit
Romantisizing after meals
Energy drain we feel
Tenacious habit to best
Tumultuous minds we rest
End of withdrawl
Fuck You! I quit

Thoughts of Boredum_(Underscore)
No matter how much time you kill
The soul doesn’t seem to fill
Pleasure and lust, lost to one’s will
Weighing down beneath, the coldness instill
Hazy memories, lucid dreams
Shadows of darkness, nothing remains
Ambient lights, the only sight
To what extent do we deny such right?
Thoughts swirl, intermixing love and hate
Confusion, supression, apathy, fate
With unity thoughts collide
A singular notion, one must abide
What is life? What is nigh? What is blind?
Why is it weakness to be so kind?
Questions we ask ourselves...

Wonderland /(over)Oz
Walk on down the yellow brick road
The path is clear, so I’m told
Get a job, a career, a family too
Do as others would normally do....
But I rather fall down the Rabbit hole!
Life will be strange, not in a mold
Simple path, cannot be sold
You can call it my disfunction...
Oooooh
But at least my heart isn’t so....cold
Find your spouse, finance a house
Build your credit, get out of debt
With brains your decisions.....
Your life will be set....
But I rather fall down the Rabbit hole! ...

Eternal Brotherhood
You are my brother, my dear kindred soul
Always there with no hesitation to spare
No matter how far or how much time has passed
We fit back in place same time as last
Love and loyalty I always receive
Bringing up each other, our sadness will pass
You can replace an army of ten thousand men
But never will be another
My true friend
Always there with no hesitation to spare
No matter how far or how much time has passed
We fit back in place same time as last
Love and loyalty I always receive
Bringing up each other, our sadness will pass
You can replace an army of ten thousand men
But never will be another
My true friend

The Lock
Close the heart
Bellowing soul within
Drying the sultry stains from rain
Lonliness remains
A moment is truth
A period is fact
Eternity is Satire
Grasp beneath the surface
A mask of gleeful contentment
Behind is a cup which needs refill
As time has stopped and spilled
Break away from the bondage of doubt
The chains that bar from another
To enter ones meaning, purpose, or simply a connection
As no one holds a key that exactly match
But only pry a space
The hand can reach again to grasp a new...

To the One I Lost
There are no words to say
As memories of togetherness only stay
Deeply cashed in the inner sanctum
Physical being may be lost
Goodness still remains
It’s a bittersweet end as life begins again
You are intelligent, beautiful, compassionate, and true
Do not ever lose yourself
The world needs more beings like you
As memories of togetherness only stay
Deeply cashed in the inner sanctum
Physical being may be lost
Goodness still remains
It’s a bittersweet end as life begins again
You are intelligent, beautiful, compassionate, and true
Do not ever lose yourself
The world needs more beings like you

The Hourglass
Never ye stop sands of time
Anxiety deepens, world unkind
Drowning in thoughts that nevever cease
Desperately breathing... breathing.. breathing...
Grains so coarse, grinding within
Scratching..scratching...
The surface...
Scratching..scratching...
Beneath the skin...
Scratching...scratching...
Bleeding...
Scratching...scratching...
Needing...
Scratching...Scratching...
Ceasing...
Scratching...
To exist...

Cardio Philosophy
Inspiration rise
Love’s in the mind
Don’t know what it is, but it’s definitely mine
What are these tendancies
Beyond my capacity
Hellacious, contagious, Carpe-dium just damn agracious
Wear your heart on your sleeve, do as you need, get on your knees, “one more please!”
Abstinence, continence, indilligence
Why do we heed?
Follow your lust, isn’t that free?
Indulge in snacks, go break your back
Howl to the moon! Big heart attack!
Mind and soul, thoughts intertwine
I think so I feel
I feel therefore I am
Love’s in the mind
Don’t know what it is, but it’s definitely mine
What are these tendancies
Beyond my capacity
Hellacious, contagious, Carpe-dium just damn agracious
Wear your heart on your sleeve, do as you need, get on your knees, “one more please!”
Abstinence, continence, indilligence
Why do we heed?
Follow your lust, isn’t that free?
Indulge in snacks, go break your back
Howl to the moon! Big heart attack!
Mind and soul, thoughts intertwine
I think so I feel
I feel therefore I am
