POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
What a great way to show how creative you can be. Me being a poet is like being in a different world an escape. It's healthy really one of my many outlets. I look forward to expressing more how I feel through my work. To relate & share also.
Return To Dreams
Tired from days.
A long stretch to reach what we know as home.
Daily battles to then finish a week of war.
More to do.
So much more to do.
No way to hide from life’s terrors.
Visited once in awhile in the darkest of the night.
A see through lady in white.
We’ve both got questions.
Why have you appeared?
Am I disturbing you?
Why are you living here?
Who are you?
Did you ever want to leave?
Only here to live not to disrespect.

The Bad The Good
Bad
Tomorrow is trash day.
Tonight I’m ready to throw away what has haunted me in the past.
Young it’s like things were different.
Surrounded by many but very alone.
Punished for the very sake of the word.
Innocent I pleaded.
Pleaded mostly to myself.
I was the only one that really listened to all my burdens.
That was how life was.
Seemed for a long time that the mental and physical abuse would never end.

Warm Leaves
Found on a lonely Saturday.
I had to slide in with words of hope.
Expectations evacuated all over.
In and out thoughts swim.
How did you stumble upon such a day like that?
Lucky or meant to be?
Something good had to come eventually.
All I ask is that in the fall can you keep the leaves warm for me?
Cause I’m going to miss this summer.
You think it’s ending but it’s just starting.
Days are getting slower.
Embracing all that happens and all that we have caused.
Excited I get to expose the romantic part in me onto you.
Excepted I’m...

I Imagine
Woke up from a nap with you in mind.
It may be time for a new tv.
No problem cause as long as you’re in my thoughts she always entertains.
Unique I’m distracted everytime you’re around.
I don’t know you all that well yet.
I bet there are feelings better then being alone.
Life is full of risk.
Imagine what it would be like; on a perfect summer day?
Aimless spontaneous adventures.

Pleads For Innocence (Letters To Mom)
How many more people are you going to hurt.
Self destructive to yourself.
How Am I supposed to counsel you at such a young age?
Single parent I know.
Too much pride to reach out for help.
Even though your oldest Son survived your beatings.
The feeling tore into me mentally and physically.

Stupid Damsel
Back again after a lot of times.
He cheated you.
You felt lower about yourself.
You reached out to helping hands with no grip.
Don’t tell me you really moved on.
If it hurt you to see him with someone else, you’re really not over him.
Deaf ears to your self caused heart ache.

Black Smog
Remember me for all the good I’ve done.
Tough growing up back then.
Voices were speaking.
Ears had no inner volume.
Stares so distant.
Face looking down.
Rays of judgement burned a hole.
Over there stood company.
Still felt alone.
Seeing the end is wanting out.
Never has a face so curious turned away.
Coldness turns to stone.
The end is over there.

Opinions That Lead To Rain
Obligations become as dark as others assuming opinions.
Would it be worth it to save them.
Those ungrateful to live.
Hidden behind this mask it contains rage of the past.
Doing what is called for causes emotions to flee.
In this stage of life it’s no longer important to have people understand.
Selfish most will not satisfy expectations.
Behind the mask it gets hot and sweaty.
Even moving among the cold rain.
A love pitches it’s chance.
In the way it’s formed a good distraction.

Overloaded Break Time
There are some out there in need of a huge break.
A vacation from the day to day struggles.
Hope becomes a challenge for people that can’t control themselves.
Overloaded with aimless energy.
Life becomes scary to those unable to roam free.
Understand where they are coming from.
Correlation and understanding is an important part of their recovery.
Serving those in need like they were one of yours.

Bagels And Coffee
Not a praise that would force me to become desperate.
Much more then lively status.
Being with you is almost imaginary.
Laying lazy together.
Where to go eat breakfast now?
Let’s crawl together.
Nervous by your beauty I’m always stumbling.
Between us nobody knows.
You make life easy.
You make the hardships a breeze.
Wasn’t waiting for you but you came.
How did you come across such a man as me?
The first sip of coffee enlightens our energy wasted away.
Saddened by the day to day that has to end.

Just Friends
Starting to trend with the same patterns.
One easy route leads you to an inevitable hard path.
Maybe it’s better to meet a difficult path first.
Love the wrong things way too fast.
How are sentimental moments erased so easily?
Dating was never really fun.
A better place to be is on the the treadmill enduring a really hard run.
“I’d like to be friends.”
“We should be friends.”
“I don’t want to lose you in my life.”
She says.
To be honest being friends doesn’t work while there are still active feelings for you.
So no we are...

Risen Above The Old Me
Talking to you.
The one who used to talk for me.
Disciplined against my own chaos.
Can’t understand how some have comfortable limits.
Eliminated is the existence of the old me.
Transformed and learned from those nice guy actions.
Myself today would have been too much to handle back then.
She had her hand above me ready to strike down punishment.
Violence.
What is violence to me as a young boy?
What has shaped me?
To some I’m presentable.
It’s just me sticking to my morals being respectful.
Anger always burns inside to be put...
