POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write because it's difficult for me to speak.
Life Comes At You Fast
There once was a man who lived in a pit,
Covered in scabs, who liked to spit.
Begging for your money-
So he could get some honey;
He flipped off a semi and got hit.
Covered in scabs, who liked to spit.
Begging for your money-
So he could get some honey;
He flipped off a semi and got hit.

My Beautiful Lady
Beautiful' and 'Lovely',
Only two of the names I call you.
Whenever you're around I have to
Stop and stare;
A perfectly flawed and pale face
Shrowded on all sides by velvety black.
Sometimes you add a little color
And I notice. Maybe you do it for me,
But I bet all the Birds and Bats feel the same.
The name you gave me is shared
By none I know and I don't mind.
I know you save a face just for me.
Only two of the names I call you.
Whenever you're around I have to
Stop and stare;
A perfectly flawed and pale face
Shrowded on all sides by velvety black.
Sometimes you add a little color
And I notice. Maybe you do it for me,
But I bet all the Birds and Bats feel the same.
The name you gave me is shared
By none I know and I don't mind.
I know you save a face just for me.

I'm Alive
I don't know how to explain the difference;
I'm here and I'm alive are not the same.
I'm here is flat, colorless.
I'm alive is... Is like now.
My eyes are wide and aware.
Even walking this familiar route.
The trees have detail, personality.
The street lamps are bright and welcoming.
I don't want to die.
I imagine this is what everyone else feels.
I want to feel like this forever.
Alive.

I imagine this is what everyone else feels.
I want to feel like this forever.

Haiku Set: Surgery
Fleeting memories,
Only remembering pain.
No painkillers, please.
Fighting against sleep,
But I really shouldn't be.
Healing is costly.
Waken by crying;
He is battering my door,
Not understanding.
Listening to tales
Of Niko revenge puking,
Trying not to laugh.
My friends, beautiful
And hellishly protective.
Fucking restrictions.
Looking at my scars
Everything is imperfect.
Healing takes too long.
Only remembering pain.
No painkillers, please.
Fighting against sleep,
But I really shouldn't be.
Healing is costly.
Waken by crying;
He is battering my door,
Not understanding.
Listening to tales
Of Niko revenge puking,
Trying not to laugh.
My friends, beautiful
And hellishly protective.
Fucking restrictions.
Looking at my scars
Everything is imperfect.
Healing takes too long.

Forgotten Things
A late season butterfly
Has come inside to die.
Dusty, but preserved,
Its body will disappear
Until spring returns.
Has come inside to die.
Dusty, but preserved,
Its body will disappear

Endless Cycles
I thought I thought
In Peridot.
Now Rubyless Sapphire
Is more my ire.
Seeing my end
Just around the bend;
No Gems around
Just cold in the ground.
In Peridot.
Now Rubyless Sapphire
Is more my ire.
Seeing my end
Just around the bend;
No Gems around
Just cold in the ground.

Dwindling Hope
Hello! Can you see me?
I'm new here and I-
Oh, I guess you're busy,
I'll just be over here.
Hello! Can you hear me?
I'm still kinda new here and-
You have headphones in,
That's okay.
Hello. Can you feel me?
I've been here a while and-
I seem to be going numb.
Please come back soon.
Hello. Can you smell me?
It's been ages now and I-
I seem to be rotting.
Looks like this is goodbye.
