POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write poetry for fun. It is one of my many graces. I like poetry because it is a great way to express emotions and ideas. Thank you.
Boring Ass Poets
why are you such boring ass poets? asked the poet master.
is it your words? your subject matter?
No.
it’s your misunderstanding of poetry.
you’ve failed to grasp the grasshopper.
you let the purpose get away.
you tried to hide your crime and failure with words.
but the poet master is an astute detective—
he sees where you went away.
and that’s where you went wrong,
you went away.
you chose the path that was safe because it was paved
by footsteps.
you didn’t venture, you didn’t hunt.
you scavenged. and that’s why you’re a boring ass...

devils open doors
God locks doors.
devils open them.
and you enter
with the kettle on
and God watches
you drink his tea
without His permission
you look around
all the devils gone
and God watches
you drink His tea
and He
locks the door.

When A Vision Has A Plan
I have a vision.
And God has the plan.
Put it together:
God damn, God damn.

Reach For The Stars
when life gets in your way. like a giant tsunami wave.
you drown under its influence. an underwater grave.
you are thwarted. your plans slapped out of your hands.
aborted. sinking. you don't understand.
it hits you hard. it keeps you away. from what you want.
what you've been working for. it keeps your
reach out of your grasp. you're always reaching. and
life is always stretching the space between you and
what you're reaching for. in time, the distance would
be as great as the difference between stars.

When In Darkness. When In Doubt.
some people are disturbed by evil.
you're different.
you disturb evil.
some people are tormented when darkness falls.
you're different.
you grow stronger in darkness. when darkness calls.
some people surrender. when they fail.
but you,
you're different.
you find strength from failure.
you surrender on your own terms.
you were made to succeed
in the dark.

Dig Into That Spark
when the time comes. and you run out of sand.
dig into your fear.
there is no way out. but through.
dig into your anger.
don't go out feeling like you've failed.
feeling like you've lost.
feeling like you've settled.
go out-- without doubt.
go out knowing--
that there was a fire in you
that they had to put out.

Religion Really
no religion is based on God.
all religion is based on love.
any religion based on God,
is not a religion.
any religion based on love,
is blessed by God.
