POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write from the heart, the head, and the soul. Not perfect but I enjoy doing it.
6 days in a hospital
6 days in a hospital
I stare at the wall
Tick tick goes the clock
Not much to it all
6 days in a hospital
My nights all alone
Sadness and misery
Was all that I'd known
6 days in a hospital
Can't sit or stand
My head in pain
Nothing to give a hand
6 days in a hospital
Can't sleep or even rest
My hopes they crumbled
I'd tried my best
6 days in a hospital
No moment of peace
Just sadness and depression
I lay there and weep
...

Dad(Description gives you info that sheds more on the poem)
I can read, dad
Pictures aren't books
I made a friend, dad
How did that happen?
I can walk, dad
Now you learn to run
I can speak, dad
Now you get your degree
We won, dad
You struck out once
I can score, dad
$100 never will
I'm good, dad
Too small to be great
I learned to write, dad
Next, the typewriter
I got an A, dad
If you didn't then I would be ashamed
I want to talk, dad
Well, I want a clean house
I want to achieve, dad
Got a long way to go
I think I tied my shoes,...

Setback
I am having issues again and I was just trying to find my way back into it. I don't know if I will post much. Hopefully, I can get better so I can enjoy the site again. Thanks for all those who read my stuff and the ones I follow. I don't have anything to say but I hope you keep writing and I hope that soon, it will be over.

A secret no more part 1 of many
This isn't a poem. It isn't a song. It's my words and my thoughts. I am exhausted but yet wide awake. No peace and no bliss because I'm fighting my own self inside. I can't break my reality. I can't change what is true. The past it affects me. The future I can barely even see. See smiles create love but pain is just like rain. When it rains, it pours. And when you cry, you can not stop. We all have our demons. Some were defeated. Some are stronger. And yet some are the same. Because I am my demon. My issues are unfortunate but my mind won't let me out. I'm not depressed nor miserable. I just...

Luctus Aeternus ( A collab with NewBeginnings)
No one wants to die
But who really wants to live forever?
In theory, it seems nice
But in reality, is it any better?
Living without an ending...
Like a play without a final scene
A bleeding heart, never mending
In a neverending dream.
When everyone you ever loved
Begins to die before your eyes
You'll cry out to the skies above
And wish for your demise
A lone and forgotten life,
But a faded memory on the page
Where dreary days...
But who really wants to live forever?
In theory, it seems nice
But in reality, is it any better?
Living without an ending...
Like a play without a final scene
A bleeding heart, never mending
In a neverending dream.
When everyone you ever loved
Begins to die before your eyes
You'll cry out to the skies above
And wish for your demise
A lone and forgotten life,
But a faded memory on the page
Where dreary days...

A rap/poem
Never heard and never seen
Never there but in between
Hate arrives, I hold a dream
Ride my train till I'm out of steam
Hear a sound, the song serene
Hey detective, I'm on the scene
Mop the floor, I'm mr clean
Start my movie and start a theme
Sunlight shines and rainbow beam
Good and evil, a different team
A story told, what does it mean
Seeing colors like red and green
The ground quakes beneath my feet
All the lies and the deceit
Broken mirror from the molten heat
Grab my heart, we got a thief
...

Road
The sun sets on a windy night
No idea if I'm even alive
I got a road I can take or hide
But reality it comes from behind
A battle won for a broken heart
A king of spade or your ultimate card
Fixed or sewn you were ripped apart
Never knowing where you could start
The mountain roads and the grassy hills
The wagons and then their fancy quilts
The locks and keys, and the iron wills
I grab a seat until it fills
The fire burns and I'm the flame
Mentally I may drive you insane
You look in the mirror...
No idea if I'm even alive

The mountain roads and the grassy hills
The wagons and then their fancy quilts
The locks and keys, and the iron wills
I grab a seat until it fills
The fire burns and I'm the flame
Mentally I may drive you insane
You look in the mirror...

A part
What is pure
What is love?
Crying tear
Golden dove
Nothing clear
Cloulds above
Heaven near
Metal glove
Angel fights
Demons hide
Lasting nights
Lost inside
Hit the lights
Fight for pride
Televised
Side by side
Darkest days
Bright endings
Writer's cage
Beginnings
Filled with rage
Mindbending
Page by page
Defending
Story told
People know
Copper gold
Fast and slow
Risk is bold

More to hold
Less to grow

Imagine ( a poem)
Imagine the moon
Imagine the night
Imagine a room
Imagine the light
Imagine the warmth
Imagine the stars
Imagine the storms
Imagine the scars
Imagine the fire
Imagine the soul
Painful desire
Need to be whole
Imagine then do you see
Imagine you see everything
Imagine for who to be
Imagine you can do anything
Imagine a road to heaven above
Imagine a highway to hell
Imagine an angel and loving dove
And imagine the ring of the bell
Imagine the monsters
Imagine the heroes
Imagine...
Imagine the night
Imagine a room
Imagine the light
Imagine the warmth
Imagine the stars
Imagine the storms
Imagine the scars
Imagine the fire
Imagine the soul
Painful desire
Need to be whole
Imagine then do you see
Imagine you see everything
Imagine for who to be
Imagine you can do anything
Imagine a road to heaven above
Imagine a highway to hell
Imagine an angel and loving dove
And imagine the ring of the bell
Imagine the monsters
Imagine the heroes
Imagine...

Sleep
I think to myself it'll be alright
Close my eyes and I won't cry
Flip the switch, turn on the light
Fight the monster that may hide
Go to sleep and dream of peace
Think and smile as you sleep
Wake tomorrow and feel release
Live your life as you believe
Close my eyes and I won't cry
Flip the switch, turn on the light
Fight the monster that may hide
Go to sleep and dream of peace
Think and smile as you sleep
Wake tomorrow and feel release
Live your life as you believe

One man
A man tells a story
A man lives his life
A man looks for glory
A man becomes a knight
A man tells a secret
A man never known
A man is defeated
A man lost his soul
On a train to his fortune
On a ride to the gold
The mission is important
So he starts to grow
Darkness will reign
Light begins to die
Nothing the same
No matter what he tried
A man in the mirror
Darkness vs light
Battle getting nearer
Nowhere to run or hide
Angels fly above
Demons down below ...

Alone I will ride
Alone, forgotten
Fallen and afraid
No one can save me
For the dues I paid
Begins my misery
A chapter will end
My story will cease
Nothing I had changed
Infected by disease
From loved ones estranged
Told myself a lie
Believed it's true
Decided my fate
Deception I knew
Mind is filled with hate
Soul shattered by pride
Heart full of regret
I think redemption
But my path is set
No more to mention
Gone is my notice
Surprised I will fall
Never...
Fallen and afraid

Decided my fate

Mind is filled with hate
Soul shattered by pride
Heart full of regret
I think redemption
But my path is set
No more to mention
Gone is my notice
Surprised I will fall
