POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I used to be a good writer in my own mind I guess. Something died inside me when I lost my whole family and I tried to commit suicide. If you can love, love hard.
Figuring it out
I stare at this empty page;
Not one single thought of rage.
Flowing lines consume this processed wood;
Trying to write down everything that I could.
I hate it when I have to think;
Staring at the mirror; hands placed on the sink.
Just wondering why I feel so empty inside;
Why do I recluse when there is so much world outside?
Still filling this page with inkish blood from of a pen;
To ease my pain; it what I try to pretend.
He mixes truth with lies;
Like stars in daylight in our skies.
I must follow what is there...
Not one single thought of rage.
Flowing lines consume this processed wood;
Trying to write down everything that I could.
I hate it when I have to think;
Staring at the mirror; hands placed on the sink.
Just wondering why I feel so empty inside;
Why do I recluse when there is so much world outside?
Still filling this page with inkish blood from of a pen;
To ease my pain; it what I try to pretend.
He mixes truth with lies;
Like stars in daylight in our skies.

Not just yet
I've decided to say after yesterday;
For some reason I still have alot to say.
It may be kind; it may be wise;
It may be heaven or hell; maybe between her thoughts.
I will not give in to my own loss
It would be to valuable at some others cost.
I really don't know what has changed in my view;
For I have feel in love with words from all of you.
You have picked me up when I have falling down;
You have spoke to me when I had no sound.
I will stay here has long has I haven friends;
For it is your words of kindness that mends.
Thank you my...

Their should be ELEVEN!!!
There was ten commandments in the beginning;
This were put in place to stop us from sinning.
Then their was the deadly seven;
Commandments: their should be eleven.
ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.'
TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.'
THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.'
FOUR: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.'
FIVE: 'Honor your...

Maybe my last
I might be leaving I don't know no where I going;
I'm just going.
I'm not running away from my problems;
It's just problems.
I will only be who I am;
I am what I am.
I have no destination where to go;
I will just go;
I'm not afraid to have nothing;
For its nothing;
I may never return; for I am lost;
It's me that's lost.
Don't bother looking for me;
I will even lose me.
I guess I do know what I want to say;
Why would it mater what I say.
I write lines all of the time;
It's only time.
I came into this world bare;...
I'm just going.

A want for a need ( Reposted )
I had a question on my mind
Is love a need or a want?
This angel came along and answered kind
Love is a need, a desire, the greatest to be blunt
It made me think of the past
Making love and warm kisses
Never to understand why they never last
The holding hands, and hugs are great misses
It made me feel what she had to say
It's not completely hopeless nomore
You have to welcome love from day to day
Instead of walking away and shutting the door
It made me cry for a broken heart
A heart that cried for help, a sign, a...

Not what you think
I have been shattered into pieces of a mirror;
I destiny now as only been made clearer.
Never to be whole with myself again;
Strangely not knowing when.
It will happen at my highest point;
Then it will go; only to disappoint.
I might be happy as my world comes undone;
Knowingly I will still be waiting for that one.
A million shards reflect up to me;
One mirror with thousands of me.
They all feel the same as they look back;
My once whole soul has now turned black.
Hands from the mirror pull me down;
They just want me to...

Recriprocal
I'm a reciprocal of nothing;
For I can never be anything.
Being never never to exist;
No life will I ever miss.
I will never have a plan of action;
For you need two parts of a fraction.
Never to be known nothing ever;
We will never be able to discover.
For if I am not a place in your mind;
You will never be able to look what you can't find.
Starting in the sleep of your abstract;
You hinder for you only subtract.
I can never be that "thing" your looking for;
If you choose to lock the door.

Just plain why?
Why?
Why do we still care when our hearts are broke?
The words that they have said; we choke;
Is it the feeling that we are now left alone;
Even though from all the hurt that they have shown.
The lies and days wondering when will they call;
Wondering if they remember us at all.
We wait for them like a dog wants z treat;
Just to know the next time; when will we meet.
Why?
Why do we wish them to come back to us?
Even though they will stick us under the bus.
Is it because it's all that we have learned?
Do we like the...

A DAD
I'm have been a provider for years;
All it has cost me grief and tears.
I have sacrificed my time with my family;
To make sure they can have everything better than me.
I see my kids everyday;
I try to do everything they want to play.
I do my best that I can be;
But... she uses them ammo towards me.
I can not help but call her a bitch;
Satans spawn, Satan with tits.
I gave when I don't even nothing to give;
Its really sad when I don't have a place to live.
I have stayed in hotels to get some sleep;
I hate to do this...

My resting place
I know I'm lost; no way out;
Their is nothing I'm going to fuss about.
I can only see red as it flows;
I know when you feel me that my room grows.
I move back and forth just like your life;
Inside of this room: I see no strife.
I am bounced around like a little ball;
I am floating so I will never fall.
I can not be pulled from this enclave;
I am forever your begging slave.
To be here as long as you need me;
But soon as you want I will be free.
I know you don't understand now;
You couldn't even comprehend how.
Never...

MOTHER
I do not look at a rainbow and think of precision;
I think of light that passes thru waters prism.
Many beautiful colors that we see with a gazing mind;
Thank GOD that has gave us so kind.
Yes, MOTHER can destroy us in glance;
No different in war; it's the same amount of chance.
Both maybe a form to control our race;
We both can continue; procreation we replace.
She comes without warning as we do to you;
We are not as devastated as we are by human kind;
For when MOTHER strikes... Their is little left behind.
She knows when it's...

Certain time of the day
When you are all alone, and can not see;
You are just as blind as me.
You can't see your hand in front of your face;
For we both have the same hiding place.
You can't take a step and be free;
I think not: you are connected to me.
You go where ever I may roam;
A single life that we both own.
Their is only one time that we can not be;
Is when the sun don't shine on me.
You are my follower as I lead the way;
Only to have you; certain parts of the days.
I make a game, and try to enlarge you;
I can position...
