POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I have been writing poetry and song lyrics since I was 14, but I don't consider myself as anything but a novice, as I simply express my feelings, or intuitive insights as they arise. Poetry is an outlet for self-expression that I otherwise wouldn't have.

I will have mine
I dip my hand into this tar
I dip my hand into this jar
I dip my hand into this paint
I dip my hand into this lake
I smear the tar across my face
I steal the cookies from the jar
Adorn my body with the paint
Then dive into the lake
You don’t want me to speak
When I have so much you say
You don’t want me to breathe
When my breath is the way
You don’t want me to fuck
When fucking is a game
You don’t want me to run
When running keeps me sane
So, my hand is dipped in this tar
My hand forages around this jar
My...

You don’t want me to breathe

You don’t want me to run

This body crucifies my spirit
These marks show persecution well
I want you to fuck me so hard I cry
But when you do I feel curtailed
When freedom knows my name
Perhaps I’ll write a happy story
But I’m not getting what I need
And I just want you to adore me
The rain patters on my roof
But it sounds so obtrusive
And truth is nothing to behold
When lies are not mutually exclusive
But my body takes a pounding
And my heart takes every knife
And I weep tears of human blood
Though my soul is still alive
Would you...

Lost
I was waiting for something beautiful
Staring at the sun
But instead it hurt my eyes
All I could do was run
Into the distance, into the fog
That stole my clarity
I became tired of lost souls
And endless acts of charity
So I'm sitting in a fire
It consumes me whole
And you think me a liar
And I think myself dull
But I couldn't stand the waiting
The suffering, the grief
And no moments on this planet
Offered any relief
You turn to me for an answer
Waiting for riposte
But in truth I am just a chancer
As finite as I am...
Staring at the sun

Buy me
This body splits in two
The tree with no soul
Is completely hollow
And I don’t know if I can feel you
But I don’t care
And my love is completely shallow
I hold onto this heart
Like I want it to stop
Squeezing out every breath
And I want to be bought
So buy me, won’t you buy me
Won’t you pay for me in gold?
I’m so hollow, lonely, barren
So lacking, empty, cold
I paid the price for this love
And it hurt, too much to bear
And every arrow shoots each dove
Like no human ever cared
So what’s the point?
I see no life
No...
The tree with no soul
Is completely hollow
And I don’t know if I can feel you
But I don’t care
And my love is completely shallow
I hold onto this heart
Like I want it to stop
Squeezing out every breath
And I want to be bought
So buy me, won’t you buy me
Won’t you pay for me in gold?
I’m so hollow, lonely, barren
So lacking, empty, cold
I paid the price for this love
And it hurt, too much to bear
And every arrow shoots each dove
Like no human ever cared
So what’s the point?
I see no life

This light I blew out
This light I blew out before I left the house
You see this shadow in front of you
She is more exposed than you could ever imagine
So take what you can before I change my mind
Fuck me now, while there is still time
Sure, I’m open to suggestion, I was never fainthearted
Quelling this inexorable lust was unavailing
Aching in the most inconvenient of places
The blazing sun could not deny this transgression
I’m not looking for the truth or for any confession
Do I have value? Does it matter?
Tonight I’m bound and assenting
Let me crawl here...

I should care but I don't
I should care but I don’t care and you seem to have a problem
With everything I choose, though you offer no solution
So I don’t give a fuck and I’ll push this button harder
I will push until my fingers are sore, until the voice grows louder
I should care but I don’t care, so why the fuck do you?
Why are you so concerned with everything I do?
I will rattle these bars in my hours of despair
I will pull on these chains as if I could go somewhere
I should care but I don’t care, I just want to be free
I don’t give a fuck about what there is to see...
With everything I choose, though you offer no solution
So I don’t give a fuck and I’ll push this button harder
I will push until my fingers are sore, until the voice grows louder
I should care but I don’t care, so why the fuck do you?
Why are you so concerned with everything I do?
I will rattle these bars in my hours of despair
I will pull on these chains as if I could go somewhere
I should care but I don’t care, I just want to be free
I don’t give a fuck about what there is to see...

Because I am curious
You see that line over there, I will cross it
Because it was drawn and so I am curious
You see that boundary, that wall, I will traverse it
Because I am always wondering, though it may be a curse
You see that demon that blocks my path
I will burn him to the ground because he asks
Me to do things that I don’t want to do
But I do them anyway because I’m obtuse
You see that rock that stands in my way
I will just walk around it, I will just walk away
Because I am tired and this shell is so hard
To crack, like a nut, without a tool to start
You see...

If you knew
If you knew what I’d done
You would run, run away
You wouldn’t listen to these words
Wouldn’t meet this wounded gaze
Wouldn’t touch this tainted body
These rags that I’ve undone
You would surely run away
If you knew what I had done
You would run, run away
You wouldn’t listen to these words
Wouldn’t meet this wounded gaze
Wouldn’t touch this tainted body
These rags that I’ve undone
You would surely run away

Freedom is my goal
And in this hour of need you left me wanting in the rain
I ached for the sun but the sunlight never came
Blisters formed upon each sole encumbered by this gravity
And I asked not to be consoled or for incumbent charity
I never wanted to come here and face this castigation
The truth remains a burden not to usurp procrastination
Levity? Are you serious, I don’t know what it means
I’m shaken to the core, falling apart at the seams
Do you know anyone who fixes the unfixable?
Oxymorons are absurd when the future’s unpredictable
This desert leaves...

Utter desperation
I thought I would never feel this way again
But you, you, YOU, are driving me insane
Sleep transient, the day persists too long
I don’t care if this is crazy, I don’t care if this is wrong
Fuck I love you, I am yours, take me now, it’s ok
I will never leave your side, I will never run away
I will curl up like a weary child on your lap
Speak however you wish to me, I will never look back
What can I do? What do you want? How can I make this ok?
Should I strip and just wait here, embrace every word you say?
God, what is wrong with me, why am I being so...
But you, you, YOU, are driving me insane
Sleep transient, the day persists too long
I don’t care if this is crazy, I don’t care if this is wrong
Fuck I love you, I am yours, take me now, it’s ok
I will never leave your side, I will never run away
I will curl up like a weary child on your lap
Speak however you wish to me, I will never look back
What can I do? What do you want? How can I make this ok?
Should I strip and just wait here, embrace every word you say?
God, what is wrong with me, why am I being so...
