POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write from the heart, the head, and the soul. Not perfect but I enjoy doing it.
Thought
The day starts
My life begins
The sun falls
The day it ends
The night sky
The stars above
The moon shines
I dream of love
The man sleeps
He rests his mind
His stress gone
His clock and time
He wakes up
The sun will rise
The light hits
His open eyes
He walks out
And looks around
The birds sing
A lovely sound
The cows graze
The horses ride
The rabbits jump
The chickens hide
The heat hits
But rain will come
The storm's gates ...
My life begins
The sun falls
The day it ends
The night sky
The stars above
The moon shines
I dream of love
The man sleeps
He rests his mind
His stress gone
His clock and time
He wakes up
The sun will rise
The light hits
His open eyes
He walks out
And looks around
The birds sing
A lovely sound
The cows graze
The horses ride
The rabbits jump
The chickens hide
The heat hits
But rain will come
The storm's gates ...

Life
A wolf howls at the moon
A lion roars at the sun
A bird sings in the sky
A warrior bangs on his drum
The day will begin
The truth will be known
A dream will be realized
Excalibur pulled from the stone
The ants march to the beat
The light shines through the dark
The dogs run in the yard
Your life ready to start
A trial for your soul
A journey to the end
A hero finding purpose
Finding his hope from within
The rain starts a downpour
The storm creates your fear

Inner Light
I was dreaming about a little peace
I was hoping for my pain to cease
I was looking out across the sky
I was thinking about my time gone by
I was running towards a life for me
I was wishing that I could believe
I was trying hard to win the fight
I was searching for my inner light
I open my eyes and still I'm blind
I'm moving forward but I fall behind
I fell apart and now I'm gone
It's the start of night and the start of dawn
I am alone with no one near
I am now trapped by my own fear
I am afraid and I...

I am now trapped by my own fear

Believe
I wish I could believe
But my eyes, they never see
In chains, I'm never free
No way to disagree
I fall and never land
I cry, you won't understand
No light, you won't give a hand
I refuse and you reprimand
I search but I never find
I follow but I fall behind
I think and then I lose my mind
I blink and now I'm out of time
No way for me to find a home
I sit and now I'm all alone
I give but now you won't condone
I walk but yet no path was shown
But my eyes, they never see
In chains, I'm never free
No way to disagree
I fall and never land
I cry, you won't understand
No light, you won't give a hand
I refuse and you reprimand
I search but I never find
I follow but I fall behind
I think and then I lose my mind
I blink and now I'm out of time
No way for me to find a home
I sit and now I'm all alone
I give but now you won't condone
I walk but yet no path was shown

Words and thoughts
A word
A thought
Unheard
A lot
A dream
A hope
Between
I cope
The night
The day
My fight
I pray
My heart
Will yearn
My art
Downturn
My voice
Will go
No choice
I know
A link
Connect
I think
Object
No time
The clock
Your crime
They knock
You run
They chase
Not done
You race
You hide
They seek
Inside
So weak
They leave
A gift
Agree
Outwit
Your greed
Now found
You fleed

Dream and nightmare
Dreams of a name that people remember
Crossing the Delaware midst of December
Only one stall for the traveling vendor
Heat so hot it burns coal into ember
A snowy trek with no way back
A footstep seen but not the track
The moon is here, the sky is black
I set the fire, I light the match
I lay to rest my head
Mark my way for up ahead
Close my eyes but I do dread
One mistake and then I'm dead
The sounds of men that are in pain
The constant thumping in my brain
The constant clanking of souls in...

Okay
The more I think I'm okay, the worse I feel
I can't live my life or be a man
Nothing helps me feel like cheering
I tell stories of who I am
I tell ways to understand me
But not even I think I can
I rhyme to help me connect
I say words to help communicate
I dream to make a loving world
But love and anger may seal my fate
I wish for a light to shine through my shadows
But of beauty, it's destruction I create
Even when I am happy
Even with some hope inside of my heart
Even with a family that cares about me ...
I can't live my life or be a man

But of beauty, it's destruction I create

Even with some hope inside of my heart

I dream about
I dream about
A life for me
But filled with doubt
I can't believe
I dream about
A place to go
But filled with doubt
I never know
So here I pray
A way to heal
To feel okay
No answer real
I wish I could
Have hope inside
A hollow wood
A carcass dried
I dream about
A home of mine
I give a shout
I cross the line
I dream about
A simple land
I live without
I make a stand
I am alone
Afraid to fall
Now never known
They never...

Nightmare
An inescapable room
A locked metal iron door
An exit lost, never found
No hatch beneath the wooden floor
Nowhere to run or get away
Stuck right here trapped in a cage
No way through this so you cry
Another lost forgotten page
In silence, you dream of hope
In life, the journey is long
Traveling by as demons swarm
Put on trial for you were wrong
No way through to leave this place
Fear of all that comes so near
Anger at how scared you are
Sad you cry, no...

In life, the journey is long
Traveling by as demons swarm
Put on trial for you were wrong

Fear of all that comes so near
Anger at how scared you are
Sad you cry, no...

A knight
A step toward hope
A lunge toward light
A fall from grace
A fallen knight
A dream of peace
A search for life
A hopeless man
The darkest night
A thought unheard
A sound unknown
A voice or scare
A path unshown
A lost hurt soul
A sorry cry
The nightmare fought
The heart it dies
A truth of mine
A story told
A broken mind
No more to hold
An ending sought
A road of all
A fight against
A falling wall
My words are here
But few will see ...

The world
I think of the world
Our dreams and our hopes
All want contentment
But instead end with woes
This creates resentment
Turns friends into foes
Brother against brother
A fight over greed
Death and destruction
An anger to feed
A woman and seduction
A drunkard and his mead
We fight to be free
But lose the ones we love
The things we all want
A warm winter glove
For a meal we will hunt
A bear and his cub
Darkness is inside of all
But some will let it roam ...

Lost and alone
No words are said
No stories told
I slept in bed
The night is cold
The chance so bleak
The mirror appears
Truth I seek
But nothing is near
I think of love
But never expect
Not much above
Not much even left
A hero to none
A devil to all
Hidden from the sun
Lost behind a wall
No reason to be
No place to go
Never to be free
For that I know
Thoughts of hope
Future to come
A story was wrote
The damage was done ...
