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.

where do you seek justice from
when you wrong yourself?
forgiveness

On Writing
in writing,
nothing is ever complete.
you just got to know when
to quit. and to walk.

don’t climb mountains for fun;
that’s just one way of getting a high—
er perspective.

when you get good at something,
the world doesn't become an oyster.
it becomes an ocean.

Writing for Kicks Sucks Dicks
writing for fun
is no fun
writing for money
feels so cheap
I write for thunder
I write for rain
I want to make
the clouds weep
writing for kicks
sucks dicks
writing for approval
moves no shit
I write for a cause
lost in the fog
but still a cause
worth writing for
is no fun
writing for money
feels so cheap
I write for thunder
I write for rain
I want to make
the clouds weep
writing for kicks
sucks dicks
writing for approval

I write for a cause
lost in the fog
but still a cause
worth writing for

Fantasy O Sanity
when you pour water in a cup
do you drink the cup?
or do you drink the water?
go run and tell your father,
run and tell your daughter.
drink the water if you’re happy with sanity
drink the cup if you want a fantasy
go run and tell your mother
run and tell your uncle’s brother.
do you drink the cup?
or do you drink the water?
go run and tell your father,
run and tell your daughter.
drink the water if you’re happy with sanity
drink the cup if you want a fantasy
go run and tell your mother
run and tell your uncle’s brother.

The f**k-Ups
I don’t want
to follow fuck-ups
I want to
pound my fist
to my chest.
hammer hope
into my heart
make the know-it-alls
know
what I’m about.
because when I raise
my fist
I want
the world
to know
I exist.

The Killer Was A Poet
I often wonder why on DU poetry site, the worst poets have the most trophies. And the best poets had the least, or none. If you have more than 11 trophies, you’re a joke. There were new members signing up every day. And new trophies given away. It was a machine. Hidden behind a photo could have been a maniac with method. Those are the worst kinds of maniacs.
Be careful who you meet online. They could be the Devil in disguise. But I never paid the Devil no never mind. He wouldn’t be a writer, or she wouldn’t be a poet. I mean the Devil don’t have literary talent. He don’t...

A Love You Can't Scratch
what hurts most
is not hammers to hands
or razor blades to wrists
it’s the suspicion
that true love does not exist.
it is these itches
that make men
jump off cliffs.
it is these itches
that make women
leap before locomotives.
this dying off
of good men and women
is what allows
false love to persist.

Hide And Seek
I made her a promise
that I could find her
anywhere.
she made me promise
to look for her
everywhere.
but time was killing us.
she died unfound
and I cried because
I lost,
everything.
I made a promise
I could not keep.
I lost what I loved,
I could not hide from the grief.
