POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm just a wonderer... I tell stories from both personal experiences as well as from those around me. Everyone has a story to tell...I just so happen to be the one to tell them at times.

A Sober Man’s Heart
“The triangular theory of love holds that love can be understood in terms of three components that together can be viewed as forming the vertices of a triangle. The triangle is used as a metaphor rather than as a strict geometric model. These three components are intimacy, passion, and decision/commitment. Each component manifests a different aspect of love.” – Robert J. Sternberg

Grief
I almost forgot that you were gone until I woke up and realized that I was now grown.
Your face, smile, all of your features were there.
I would’ve bet my life on that.
And there I was nothin but a child again racing to give you the biggest hug that I could make.
I would have never imagined that I would be sitting here dumbfounded.
Lead not to our own understanding, those are the words those men wrote in the Bible as they went about their day, reciting potential scriptures that they wanted to include in the Bible.
God doesn’t make any mistakes are the words...

The Archives - One Night Stand
After that night I felt like a champ
I finally had a chance to get with this girl that I’ve been trying to get with ever since the 12th grade.
And even though my friends and family told me about her.
I just wanted to get with her since all I wanted was to take a chance…
I choose not to believe everyone’s gossip.
So, I played a game of chance.
Every time I lay down with this girl named Claire.
She made me feel good…like a real man should.
And I choose not to use protection every time we decided to do our deeds…
Dreams keep hunting me as I sleep at...

Unmuted
All eyes placed, focusing on the missing words that could not escape my lips.
Everything seemed so close,
You seemed so distant.
So far; if I were to call to you, the chances of you hearing me would possibly be…
I wished for forever, my thoughts and dreams I had pinned them up upon this white board and this script that I had written was meant to showcase my ability to grow.
My words were chosen for specific reasons, they were meant to touch and feel the vessels that are racing within your veins.
My monotone voice was supposed to be as smooth as bourbon, as...

Liquor
We don’t see eye to eye when I am under the control of “I-I”.
And as much as I would like to justify my actions and provide an understanding for my actions.
I do not believe that anything that I currently have hanging on my drawing board will provide enough cover to patch the hole that I created within your heart.
Does it really matter what’s being said once I take this shot?
Maybe…maybe we’ll find a resolution and come to a place of agreement.
Maybe these words that’s leaning over within my head will lean into something more meaningful.
Or...

The Best Mistake
I jumped headfirst into this situation with very little faith.
Carried hurt in my front left pocket and my wallet in my right.
If I had known what I was going to encounter, I probably would have still walked into the situation blindly.
There were no signs, just symptoms writings with no stories to tell a tale that had an ending that could not be deciphered.
This is the reason why I could not recognize love.
I gave you no room to plant your seeds.
Made up my mind that you too would build me up high enough just so you could let me fall.
You proved to me that...

Doorsteps
Let me not assume as though I know the person that you are now.
That the love that we once shared still burned in the furnace that reside within the heart that I once called mine.
Has the cup that we used to drank from finally run dry?
Are there no more sequels to this story that we had been writing throughout time?
Or have you found someone else that has offered you more then what I have been able to provide?
There was a time when I was enough,
We would look down upon the earth and reminisce about the lives that we once lived.
Placed bets on who would find...

Strange Fruit
It laid within the palms of my hands like precious jewels.
Allowing me to feel its weight, tempting my senses with its essence.
Encouraging me to take a closer look, a small taste.
Softly whispering my wants in the most beautiful way possible
You would have thought it were birds singing on an early spring morning.
How is it possible to want something so bad it breaks you down to tears?
To crave the unimaginable without ever experiencing it, maybe it is like watching snow fall for the first time.
And not being able to experience it fall upon your skin, to...

I is somebody
I is somebody
Although I may not do right all the time
The times I do right still count
I ain’t neva had much
Can’t count the times I had to go without
But don’t think I’m round here complainin
Don’t got time to do that
You see I work
These calluses on my hands are all the proof I need
And even though at times I want to quit
Somethin inside me just won’t
Because as long as that there ground is above me
I still got time to be somebody
Because…
Somebody’s body is achin
Somebody’s body is tired ...
Although I may not do right all the time
The times I do right still count
I ain’t neva had much
Can’t count the times I had to go without
But don’t think I’m round here complainin
Don’t got time to do that
You see I work
These calluses on my hands are all the proof I need
And even though at times I want to quit
Somethin inside me just won’t
Because as long as that there ground is above me
I still got time to be somebody
Because…
Somebody’s body is achin
