POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Tight Ropes and Over-stayed Welcomes
Aches and pains
That come and go
Usualy over stay their welcome
When its time to go
Happiness hanging on
Balancing on the fine line of a tightrope
If I could wear any necklace
I would wear a tight rope
I feel as if I've over stayed my welcome
And it's time to go
That come and go
Usualy over stay their welcome
When its time to go
Happiness hanging on
Balancing on the fine line of a tightrope
If I could wear any necklace
I would wear a tight rope
I feel as if I've over stayed my welcome
And it's time to go

Sometimes I Wish Instead Of
Sometimes I wish I were simple
Sometimes I wish I saw the moon as something far away
Instead of a division between the darkness I know and the light that lies beyond this point, which is ever so close but seems to be unattainable
Sometimes I wish I saw puddles as bodies of water
Instead of a sad reflection which reveals the deepest parts of me that are all too shallow
Sometimes I wish I saw a happy face
Instead of a sad one
Sometimes I wish I saw the moon as something far away
Instead of a division between the darkness I know and the light that lies beyond this point, which is ever so close but seems to be unattainable
Sometimes I wish I saw puddles as bodies of water
Instead of a sad reflection which reveals the deepest parts of me that are all too shallow
Sometimes I wish I saw a happy face
Instead of a sad one

Black Clothes
I wear black clothes
Because ,
Everyday is a funeral
I wake up in the morning
From my cozy coffin
And march right back into my grave
At the end of the day

For forever
This cigarette won’t last forever
But the damage will
The high won’t last forever
But the experience will
The sun won’t last forever
But the darkness will
We won’t last forever
But the memories will
But the damage will
The high won’t last forever
But the experience will
The sun won’t last forever
But the darkness will
We won’t last forever
But the memories will

Take my Order
How would you like your sky today?
Sunny side up
How would you like your brain tonight?
Scrambled
What would you like to drink?
Myself to sleep
One bottle
Two sugars please

Plants and Ray Guns
Water my ray guns
Kill people with plants
Food for thought
Starve the night of light and anything bright
Thinking in the dark
Where my ray guns will never grow

Cigarettes and Sunsets are bad for my Health
Lovely hues
Lovely views
As the day evolves dim
Clouds become incrusted within golden trim
Twenty-four karrot
Keeps my eyes healthy
in 20/20 vision
However,
I am not nearly as healthy enough to see you
And I
Together
Under these lovely hues
Watching these lovely views,
Sunset

Under these lovely hues

I live where birds swim and fish fly
I live where trees grow from the sky
I live where the clouds aren’t so high
I live where we cry blood and bleed tears
I live
I live
I live
Where ?
I live where trees grow from the sky
I live where the clouds aren’t so high
I live where we cry blood and bleed tears
I live
I live

OBLIVION
Oblivious to obvious oblivion
Evidence were evident everywhere
But
I did it anyway
Because
Poison can be lovely,
Labeled or not
