POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
My goal is to inspire someone, even if it's only myself.
Mother
Standing still I feel so free
caught inbetween who I am
and who I want to be
Study your waves
how you move your majesty
My mind ponders
thoughts of we
How are you?
I'll say out loud
but no one can hear me
How are you?
Mother, mother
don't you miss me
How are you?
I've been good
as of lately
But standing still I feel so free
caught inbetween who I was
and who I ought to be
Sending me signs
through these shapes of mystery
...

Distortion
my memories are wiped clean
Distortion
reality is a dream
down
down
down
we go
down
down
down
the rabbit hole
I get high again
same old thoughts
inside my head
my skin dams
my blood
but I am breaking
from this flood
who am I again?
who have I already been?
how did I get here?
what are we doing here?

Broken House
Everyone that looked at her fell in love
her smile was warmer
than the sun above
but a girl like that
you can't hold forever
so we built a house
for the stormy weather
and in the blink of an eye
it was years down the road
we watched our sisters grow up
and the dogs get old
the storm did come
and we fell apart
but our broken house
remained in our hearts
new lovers showed up
and knocked on our doors
but just know that my house
will always be yours
her smile was warmer
than the sun above
but a girl like that
you can't hold forever
so we built a house
for the stormy weather
and in the blink of an eye
it was years down the road
we watched our sisters grow up
and the dogs get old
the storm did come
and we fell apart
but our broken house
remained in our hearts
new lovers showed up
and knocked on our doors
but just know that my house
will always be yours

Taylor Tattoos
I have tarot card tattoos
you have the energy of Autumn leaves
the season's change
and so did we
let's run away in lucid dreams tonight
One and One makes two
and I'm the one that's missing you
like white, blue and red
You're the American Pie
To my Evil Dead
Damn its cold outside
But I would ride my bike
to see you smile
just one more time
Time and time again
My heart tries swimming
into my head
there's not a single letter left unread ...

Unity pt.2
I know you're hungry like me
I know you're starving spiritually
curiosity is the fuel
to this species energy
But when the gas light turns on
the E stands for ecstasy
provocative promises
and induced epiphany
filling the void that wants to be loved
we are freezing cold hands
waiting to be kissed
by motherly gloves
to feel soft dove feathers
rain from the world above
to remember the first deep
breath to ever expand our young lungs
and
the last exhale into the great beyond ...

Unity pt.1
I want to sleep in silence
but screaming sirens
remind me where my mind is
we need light to see
but staring at the sun causes
permanent blindness
books shouldnt be spineless
my bank's in the minus
the cop would be me
if the city was crimeless
I'm a bad influence to you
but what influences me?
There's a pot and a kettle
but only one of us bleeds
The tight rope gets higher
and if I cut the wire
Id hit the news for the week
..so no matter how tired
I pick up the pliers ...

Crimson
Patty cake patty cake
we are on the run
my baby's kind of crazy
and my baby's got a gun
bitch is bad as fuck
you fuck with her
and you are done
she worships Betty White
while eating oranges from the sun
but call my baby crazy
and we'll go head to head
we'll sacrifice you like a virgin
and leave the streets Crimson red

Fire and Rain
Droplets of reality
hit the window of my sanity
I trace each drop carefully
does it pave its own destiny?
I want to
break through the pane
Lay bare in its reign
Become one with the energy
and tune into the frequency
But here I am
In my house, built by society
The black screen flashes
Terror and tragedy
"The rain is actually fire!"
"You will die! Or..worse...."
"If you touch it, the Devil will put you under his curse!"
I cried, but I wasn't afraid
I love fire, I love rain
I opened...

Lost
Childlike demeanour
Alittle coffee with my creamer
I miss writing on the windows
But they all turned into mirrors
Your voice was clear
"I don't want you, we are over!"
It's still ringing in my ears
"Shit I fucked up, let's start over"
Too bad I lost what kept her near
I must have left it
At the bus stop
On our last date to the fair
That lucky boy that found it
Better never hurt you dear
I write this all the fucking time
It's too bad you cannot hear
When I scream into my pillow
I'd rather whisper in your...

Conception
I started young
I stood alone
I had no family
I had no home
I had no eyes
I could not see
I had no lungs
I didn't breathe
I didn't think
I don't know why
I didn't feel
I never tried
Why would I ever change
If I knew no other ways
How would I ever know
If I forever, remained alone
I would have stayed in the dark
But I was a match
And you were the spark
I felt the flame
And I knew then
I would never go back again
Now I am spent
And you live on
I am ash, the flame is gone ...

Light Beam
I want to stomp on the breaks and put this traffic on pause
I want to unwrapped from my body like some expired gauz
I want to become a beam of light and shoot straight up to God
I want to take a peak behind the curtain at the Wizard of Oz
Where there's no laws, or road blocks, or close calls, or bad odds
but is there really such a place with no flaws?
I don't know
I'm feeling high when I'm sober
moon landing like Apollo
my mouth is getting dry
and it's getting hard to swallow
I know I shouldn't spend my time
wallowing in...

Dandelion Flu
I want to listen to your voice
speak me to sleep
deep lines of poetry
over binaural beats
your soft spoken soul
tastes so syrupy sweet
sleep walk seamlessly
into the backless
dress of my dreams
I see us dancing barefoot
through puddles and streams
my hearts a skipping stone
that's surely to sink
before I do
drip drops of dew
into dandelion flu seasons
to be close to you
is better than being sick
for no reason
youre leaving me breathless
like I'm blowin balloons
it's not your Birthday ...
