POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Taking an unorthodox road to enlightenment and hoping others feel inspired to make their own way, too.
Night 'Life'
The sun still rests
If only I could
There's work to be done
Will I see tomorrow break before I do?
The clock resets
If only I could
There's work to be done
Will the hour conclude before I do?
My weakened immunity
My hormones disturbed
But money makes the world go round
If only I could
There's work to be done
Will I see tomorrow break before I do?
The clock resets
If only I could
There's work to be done
Will the hour conclude before I do?
My weakened immunity
My hormones disturbed
But money makes the world go round

Symbolism
Unspoken
Fallen upon deaf ears
Or do we pretend they aren't there?
The cause
The solution
Or something to fill the air?
Misplaced
Wasted
Or failure to find the right ones?
All I know
When you have mine
My actions will convey them sincerely

Which way the ember fall
Glass to the soles of my feet when I step
Smoke fills my lungs when no lighter can be found
The crush of gravity pulls my shoulders forward
Where did all the light go?
Pencils by the window where my artistry once bloomed
Water in the air but not a cloud
The burst of eardrums, ringing
What sense does it make to live this way?
I won't be here forever
I won't be here for long
I wish I loved you never
I wish I loved you strong
For all the sense we made and yet we had to work it out
A battle we lose before we begin...

I Want
I want to know what love is
I deserve love, but don't feel I will earn the love of someone I long for
I feel weak
I feel useless, unloved and depressed
My body aches to be held
I wish to look her in the eyes, see her soul, and know I have a home there
I want to feel welcomed, appreciated, and loved
I don't want to turn cold, but fear I must, to keep myself safe from the pain
I can't write love songs
I don't experience love in a recognisable way
I long to hold someone at night that knows my...

Flames of the Fire
Written to 'Not Available' by Vici
Hook (version 1*)-
Smart, wise, kind (x8)
Verse 1-
I see your weakness
victim to evilness, slave to your demons, you can defeat them
Trust in your reasoning
Praying for status and greatness
Right before laying
But hatefulness seeping in
Confidence leaving you late in the evening
You can create your own fate
And make what your meaning is
*You* are the captain
*You* make it happen
*You* are who fashions the future from passion
*You*...

Still in Love
Haven't seen her face for like 86 days
Still it change the pace of what's in my rib cage
Effortless grace with impeccable taste
Eyes could switch place with gems of fit shape
Slender little body rocking trackies looking baggy
Or glamming up in denim look like the cover of a maggy
Truth be told she had me from the moment she distracted me
Back when we were working at the cardboard cut-out factory
Sat together smoking on our rollies, joking
Poking fun at anything before we had to go in
Not the type to pray, but me and Jesus spoken ...

The March
Written to "MILO" by Prodby MEANDI
-To be completed in due time-
When I rip simplistic linguistics
Every neat trick gets missed, so peep this
Deep shit
Take a big leap in the deepest
Region beneath your feet bitch
You need this
Weed couldn't breed cerebral peakness
Or ease my feeble weakness
Breathing the cleanest breeze completes my evil genius, sheesh
Look at, ME
I'm the, KING
I'm a, BEAST
On these, BEATS
Got no, TEAM
It's just, ME
So I'm, FREE
I'm so, FREE
I'm so, CLEAN ...
