POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
One last line, before I go to bed; The words bounce off this vapor as they pour from my head...
Bitz-n-Bitz
Crashing out on the hood
In the middle of traffic
Acting out the tendencies
of a psychopathic
Searching for something
that isn't so graphic
An epiphany of sorts;
Amidst all the havoc
Not so heavy
Not so hard
Carry on with the abuse
I'm already scarred
No infliction too deep
the canvas is clean
Clear of imperfection
& the pull of my gene
So, slowly
break through
the rock walls of my skin
to permanently engrave
Your memory within...

Last Hurrah
A passage traveled
A secret kept
Shared are the triumphs
& tears which we've wept
From fare weather
through knee-deep
I held my breath:
As you lay asleep
Chances are regular
& come to those
who seek
So, climb upon a mountain
& jump from it's peak
Neither dispair nor pain
shall be spent in vein
Creation unfolding;
A legacy remains
Live lyfe as a journey ...

Driver
I'm recieving some static
& don't know why
The situation is clear
but
I cannot get by
Being held up;
while I'm going down hill
Waisting precious moments
Just for the thrill
Buying my time;
I can see that she's waiting
for the next stage
In a ritual of mating
About to take over
& change our perspective
To watch over this World
through something reflective
Look at things in...
& don't know why
The situation is clear
but
I cannot get by
Being held up;

Waisting precious moments

In-between
It's been so long
since my pockets
were empty
Now
I can't remember
what it's like to have it all
I was living
in the clouds
with
nothing to loose
Now
I'm on the ground
without an excuse
Without
the one's around
me
who contribute
to the cause
My lyfe
would be in
shambles
Another victim
who is lost
Though this time is grey
It's not...

friction
Floating feather's
fall from the sky
Forcing my feelings
to freeze up & die
Seeing them slowly
sway in the Sun
Spins me in circles
as I'm coming undone
So,
I'm standing here
speechless
Stranded & scared
Showing these secrets
I've struggled to share
Perpetuating problems
Prolong
the people's pain
Punishing the proud ...

Forced
It's too cold to come out
from under the covers
&
I'm too lonely to let go
of intimate lovers
So can I convince you
to dream a little longer
Just for a moment;
Until I feel a little stronger
CHORUS:
It's all right there
I have to let it out
Got to let go
of the reasonable doubt
If I want to hold on
to what I'm about
I've got to let go
& find another rout
Chasing illusions ...

Sunshine
The Sun is shining
tho not through my window
Four walls the view
Selfish echoes down the hall;
Key's turning
Time is burning
the Sun is shining
tho not through my window
Solitary happiness
Messages;
"Spend time together"
Know when to laugh
Know what you have
the Sun is shining
tho not through my window
Take turns
to return the hate;
Loudness of sympathy ...

Valiant Effort
I send this out
to my fallen foe
One of many
Lined up in a row
Blindly I pointed
& fired my ammunition
With a single shot
I killed your ambition
To Whom it may concern:
I do not know
Just one man down
10,000 to go
A blink of an eye
A tired man's yawn
Your time with us
has come & gone
Come & go
You've already went
The rules of lyfe
cannot be bent
Though,
I did not want to
I felt the need

If you don't make mistakes
You can't make anything
If you don't fall down
You won't feel anything...
The words I speak
Sound so clear to me
but as I look around
It's clear to see
No one really
agrees with me
Maybe no one
wants to be with me
Reach out
& touch some one
Reach out
& have some fun
Don't let a busy signal
keep you from calling
because I'll be there
to keep you from...

Burning vapors
fogging the view
It's a free country
So,
you might as well sue
Collecting what's yours
while completing
your chores
Greasing the palms
as they open their door's
Full to the brim
Still asking for more
Saying: Oh well
as it spills to the floor
No concern for the mess
No lies to confess
Just a fake smile
& need to impress
Torn at the seams
Filled with
American dreams
Races &...

Split-Letter
What is life
but a short ending to a happy tale...
Wondering how
a tattoo I see
Lives internally
forever engraved
Beyond understanding
Torture admires
sentimental havens
Other-wise referred to:
Expect nothing dramatic
I never give thoughts
obvious attention
Hollering allowed
promising prayers
yearning to again
Love eternally...

Stomp Pad
I could kill you right now
but what would that fix
Any way I'm too tiered
to hand out some licks
Test me again
On some other occasion
& I'll cause more drama
than an Alien invasion
Disrespect me;
Calling me names
Speaking in tongues
playing little girl games
Haven't you learned
to think about others
Don't be so self-centered:
What about your brothers?
Calculate the value ...
