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.
To A Man, A Woman Is Super Natural
women do not study what is natural
and what is present
they are familiar with the factual
but unfamiliar with the gift of perfection
to a man,
a woman is super natural
she is a telegram
from the mystical and the magical
she is the lesson
he is eager to learn
she teaches him to quest on
the questions that burn
when a man looks on a woman
he does not see imperfections
when a man looks at a woman
he perfectly gets the message
and what is present
they are familiar with the factual
but unfamiliar with the gift of perfection
to a man,
a woman is super natural
she is a telegram
from the mystical and the magical
she is the lesson
he is eager to learn
she teaches him to quest on
the questions that burn
when a man looks on a woman
he does not see imperfections
when a man looks at a woman

Passion Without Purpose
to have passion without purpose
is like a stage without curtains
magic without Merlin
you push your boulder
in circles
you burn wax
build muscle
you learn that
you hustled
in vain
to have passion without purpose
is to have no glory
for your pain
is like a stage without curtains
magic without Merlin
you push your boulder
in circles
you burn wax
build muscle
you learn that
you hustled
in vain
to have passion without purpose
is to have no glory
for your pain

The Devil Has No Bullets
God can't tell you what to do
or how to do it
God can only make sure
it gets done
because God
has a gun
The Devil tells you what to do
and how to do it
but The Devil can't
make you do it
because The Devil
has no bullets
or how to do it
God can only make sure
it gets done
because God
has a gun
The Devil tells you what to do
and how to do it
but The Devil can't
make you do it
because The Devil
has no bullets

Real Love, Burns
I can't write haikus
like I used to
but if wrote anything
that God would bless
it would be ha choo
I write on toilet paper
because nobody wants to read that shit
and I wipe my ass with newspapers
because I've lost all faith in journalists
casual affairs bring no noble heirs
intercourse is for survival
but love is succulent and sublime
you eagerly hope for it's arrival
the weak and the weary have not the virtue
of patience
they speak so endearing but they are not
worthy of waiting
my personal view is never do ...

Victory After Death, Victory Over Pain
there's truth in pain
it hurts at first
it burns, it bursts
we lose our dignity
indulge in our self pity
we wander in despair
and we wallow in spite
but we know pain
doesn't mind a good fight
if your blood growls
underneath your skin
give pain a taste
of it's own
medicine
you either wallow in pity
or you swallow pain
you either charge to victory
or you fall in shame
you can lose your life
but you will gain a name
it hurts at first
it burns, it bursts
we lose our dignity
indulge in our self pity
we wander in despair
and we wallow in spite
but we know pain
doesn't mind a good fight
if your blood growls
underneath your skin
give pain a taste
of it's own
medicine
you either wallow in pity
or you swallow pain
you either charge to victory
or you fall in shame
you can lose your life
but you will gain a name

Don't Apply With The Devil
they say, The Devil never sleeps
I say, he wakes up early
for tea
when dawn breaks
the Devil awakes
and he's looking for me
he showers and he dresses
his powers always impresses
the weak
he almost hired me
when I was unemployed
but something about his teeth
made me feel a little annoyed
his grin was thin
his smirk had girth
I knew it wasn't for me
I walked the streets
with defeat
and searched the sky
for a sign
the only sound that
came around
was a hysterical laugh
and a...

The Devil Cries Quietly
when the wrong man
does the right thing
the Devil cries quietly
a breeze blows over Hell
all demons hold a sigh
when something wrong
suddenly goes right
in your life
wear persistence as deodorant
and walk confidently
knowing you smell like Heaven
even when you're in Hell
raise your hand, raise your fist above
make it rain, make it flood
when the wrong man
does the right thing
there will be lightning
does the right thing
the Devil cries quietly
a breeze blows over Hell
all demons hold a sigh
when something wrong
suddenly goes right
in your life
wear persistence as deodorant
and walk confidently
knowing you smell like Heaven
even when you're in Hell
raise your hand, raise your fist above
make it rain, make it flood
when the wrong man
does the right thing
there will be lightning

The Fury Of A Fallen Angel
when an angel falls
a man rises
one who surpasses all surprises
to compensate for
the ache in Heaven
he readies for war
he readies his brethren
a fallen angel brings
with it formidable fury
angry from losing its wings
it does not sing
so we all should worry

Funny, But Not Funny
you funny
but I'm crazy
you have two arms
but you can't hold me
you laugh at me
on the inside
your insults
never reached my pride
you funny
but I'm crazy
so when you done with the jokes
run, bitch, run
because you may have comedy on your side
but I have
a knife
but I'm crazy
you have two arms
but you can't hold me
you laugh at me
on the inside
your insults
never reached my pride
you funny
but I'm crazy
so when you done with the jokes
run, bitch, run
because you may have comedy on your side
but I have

Picnic With A Machete
find a quiet place for us to picnic
don't look in the basket Bitch
don't cry because I call you a Bitch
I use it in a non gender specific way
I call every body a bitch
here eat this turkey sandwich
and drink this cranberry juice
don't get smart Bitch
I'm Einstein and you not Bitch
I'll be calculating the specifics of these parameters
turn your smartphone off
and shut your mouth
it's a picnic
not an opera
and Don't look in the basket
don't let curiosity get your cat killed
Bitch I'm for real
you see them trees...

Death Is Not A Trophy
be ordinary
play it safe
live a boring life
in a boring place
glory is over rated
and we only have
twenty four hours
in a day

glory is over rated

Limbo
I'm not in the mood to decide
to stay here or come back to Earth
my presence never made a difference
I was only taking up space and breathing good air
and I left so much shit and piss behind
what did I exactly accomplish on planet Earth?
I didn't fall in love, I didn't make any kids
I wasn't involved in the saving of the environment
human rights, animal rights, or any kind of rights
shit, honestly, I didn't do shit when I was alive
yet I'm given the opportunity, by grace, to return
for one more go round the rodeo
I'm tired of riding the bull...
