POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm home, in school, and at peace! What a wonderful place to be. Thank you all for having me.
Dance with me
Dance with me dear
Dance despite the damage
Dance despite the fear
I see stars in your eyes
Eclipsed by saturnine skies
Dance despite the tears
Close your eyes and dream
Dance with me dear
Two hearts beating as one
To the rhythm of the bass drum
Dance with me dear
In this moment
Right now, right here
Two lost souls, yours and mine
Entwined in endless time
Dance despite the damage
Dance despite the fear
I see stars in your eyes
Eclipsed by saturnine skies
Dance despite the tears
Close your eyes and dream
Dance with me dear
Two hearts beating as one
To the rhythm of the bass drum
Dance with me dear
In this moment
Right now, right here
Two lost souls, yours and mine
Entwined in endless time

Thine own enemy
If thou wish
to ope thine own mind
walketh with me
through the land of the blind
Ope thine eyes
and realize
Thou art thine own enemy

Reality Realignment
Realize...the mind lies
Let me realign your paradigms
Let’s redesign your life!
Help me, help you
To know what's really true.
What do you know?
Do you really know if
Your thoughts are counterfeit?
Is your truth as true as true can be?
Let down your guard,
and open your heart.
Let me in to see,
What you can't see...
I see, objectively
And perhaps, in turn,
You can help me...
But, first,
Follow me,
I know a shortcut
A shortcut...
into an alternative reality. ...

The Man in the Mirror
The man in the mirror pleads
Do your daily deeds
Do them until it bleeds
I looked away.
The monster in the mirror screamed
Silent tears reflect fears so extreme
This can’t be real, must be a dream
I’m on my knees
The monster in the mirror maligns
Reflection unaligned
Undefined designs defy
I’m on my feet
Shattered shards of sharp glass
Reflective reality of the past
Broken and buried in the trash
I’m sprinting
...

The Ugly Truth
His aesthetics catch your eye,
His charm catches your heart
But to him, a thing...
is all that you are.
You see, he's a pretty lie in disguise,
And I'm the ugly truth, and you...
You look away,
While I see beauty outside and in too.
How many times will you let him hurt you?
How much can your heart take?
You see, he can fake all day...
But, how much can you take before you break?
he lights the gas,
But I, I blow out the match,
He widens the wound... ...

Philosophical evolution
As my mind soars to extreme heights,
like a Phoenix taking flight...
I'm grateful.
Ever grateful for the lessons of my mistakes.
Like Churchill, I failed but never applied the brakes.
I replaced hope and expectation with action
using Shakespeare and Nietzsche's maxim's
I discovered motivation
using Maslow's pyramid of education
And effective communication
through Coveys' observation's
I keep my shadow-self to a minimum
with the assistance of Jung's discipline

Beyond the Boundaries
I've traveled the world
trekked the terrain
trudged through mud
and suffered through pain
I've worked,
worked my fingers to the bone
worked until I broke my toes
worked until my mind was broke
I've been with the best,
had my heart ripped from my chest
I took her by the hand
Encouraged her to tear it straight from my breast
Suffered the pain...physical, emotional
analytical and psychological
And it's strengthened me...
Evolved me...beyond the physical
Somewhere along...

Breaking the Paradigm
Coming from an up and comer
An X-rated motherfucker
A lively litterateur
And a psychological connoisseur
Don't be frightened
I'm here to enlighten
But, first, I will break your mind
Only to enliven your horizons
You're living a lie
All your paradigms
All your metaphors
Are nothing more than alibis'
To mask your shame
To protect you from blame
But only when you admit this
Will you be in your lane
I see your red flag
I see you whine and nag
But you don't fool me ...

Your problem
If you have a problem with me
and I am of some value to you
Let me know, it should be discreet
If you have a problem with me
I'm sure it can be handled with maturity
and settled, sincerely
But...
If you have a problem with me
There's a door, use it please
If you have a problem with me
That's your problem you see
If you have a problem with me
I assure you, I won't lose any sleep
If you have a problem with me
and you choose to insult me
I may choose to handle it wisely
or, I may...

Mindful f**kin' madness
You're fuckin' lazy
What? Are you crazy?
...ugh, he's right, you're off your game, lately
What game?
Fuckin' dumb
...Your writing, your mind's in a slump
We! we are one. Work with me! We're bums
I'm losing it because ya'll ain't doing shit
Bitch!! Don't group me in with this
...woah, there, there's no reason to throw a fit
Fuck you too, prick
...Easy, we can enhance our workmanship
How, when we're chained in this dictatorship
Ok, now, ya'll know, your input is valuable
...As long as we stay...

The Vision
I have a vision,
A vision with you in it,
An invisibly visible figment.
And in my vision,
I'm wishing...
Wishing you and I were kissing.
My wishes in this vision are true,
My visions of kissing you...
And of you kissing me too.
In my vision, I'm holding you tight,
Kissing you under the moonlight...
And in this moment, I feel so alive.
And in my visions, I'm gazing into your eyes,
Your eyes, more beautiful than any sunrise.
