POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write from the heart, the head, and the soul. Not perfect but I enjoy doing it.
Lost and found
I walk outside
I look around
See nothing here
Not ever found
I search and yearn
I strive to be
I try to live
The chains not free
My heart apart
My mind in two
My soul in dust
I question who
My time may end
My journey lost
My hopes are smashed
My feelings tossed
No place to go
No meaning seen
No love is near
No way to dream
A card was shown
The hand was dropped
My final chance
The cage unlocked
A moment gone
A life untold
A man...

Dawn of fate
A soul is special
A heart is pure
A mind is clockwork
A voice is yours
A dream is beautiful
A thought is amazing
An idea is a hope
A day of full phasing
A light is a sword
A demon is inside
A hero is within you
A fight for your pride
Alone in a forest
But together in a field
A march to the ending
Your words make a shield
A destiny is awoken
A fate to forecome
A life of adventure
A person of peace to become
A guitar plays the last song
A piano plays the last...
A heart is pure
A mind is clockwork
A voice is yours
A dream is beautiful
A thought is amazing
An idea is a hope
A day of full phasing
A light is a sword
A demon is inside
A hero is within you
A fight for your pride
Alone in a forest
But together in a field
A march to the ending
Your words make a shield
A destiny is awoken
A fate to forecome
A life of adventure
A person of peace to become
A guitar plays the last song
A piano plays the last...

What I see
I walk outside and hear the laughter
I look at all and hate my life
I see the beauty without my destruction
I hear the voices but can't make it right
I see the purity and the endless love
I hear the wind and the storm surrounding me
I feel the chill and the ice cold water beneath my feet
I close my eyes; it's so hard to breathe
The night casts a shadow upon the mountains peak
The moon's shiny glow and the brightest light
The wolves sudden growl or the lion's silent roar
The start of day or the dawn of night ...

I close my eyes; it's so hard to breathe
The night casts a shadow upon the mountains peak

The start of day or the dawn of night ...

Told
I was questioned from the beginning
Questions of my purpose
Questions of my destiny
The answers below the surface
I was questioned about my heart
Questions about my courage
Questions of my future
The lies they all would look to forage
Told i was just nothing
Told I was a failure
Told I wouldn't make it
To all, I'm stuck behind the barrier
Told I was a loser
Told I was a disgrace
Told that I was a waste of life
No light for me to ever chase
Told i was a broken man
Told I was a broken soul

What am I waiting for?
What am I waiting for?
Who am I running from?
What am I waiting for?
I got 6 bullets in a loaded gun
What am I waiting for?
When is my story done?
What am I waiting for?
Rain to fall from the dancing sun
What am I waiting for?
Who have I become?
What am I waiting for?
I know I'm not the only one
What am I waiting for?
My hell has now begun
What am I waiting for?
A table set, a place for none
What am I waiting for?
A game I never won
What am I waiting for?
I guess I'm waiting...

Moment
I solemnly swear
To honor, prepare
For honor, one stair
One knife, I will spare
Lost in battle
Snake without a rattle
Boat without the paddle
The mirror and a shadow
One face, 2 choices
One room, 2 voices
One dead, 2 noises
One lives, rejoices
A king, a peasant
A duck, a pheasant
A Picture and present
Lost forever or omnipresent

The truth of life
A thought creates an idea
An idea creates a story
A story creates one's life
One's life creates a moment
One's moment creates one's fall or self glory
One's results creates one's component
One path may lead to the darkness
One road may lead to the light
One star may lead to a home
One cloud may lead to a sign
One lesson, what's wrong and what's right?
One mission, a treasure to find
One time may end a beginning
One ride may end someone's suffering
One tunnel may end at a paradise
One exit may...

My brush with death
I almost died at 5. I was vomiting and I started choking on my own vomit. My face got blue. My dad was crying and scared as he called my mother. She gets home and sees me and immediately tells him to call 911. I'm throwing up in a full trash can. I'm running I'm into walls. I'm dying in other words. The emergency workers heard my face had turned blue, one of them took one look at me. Picked me up and threw me over his shoulder. And rushed to get me to the hospital. Most don't stay but they stayed all night. Even a stranger was scared to death for me. They didn't leave my side either. That's...

Magic Trick
My soul bathed in fire
My heart burnt to dust
My mind, falling ashes
No light is enough
My love and my hatred
My dream and my goal
My fight and my effort
No place I can go
My truth is a lie
My life is a blur
My story concealed
No message is heard
My pain rests inside
My time leaves beneath
My start won't begin
No man on his feet
My home is my mind
My head is my cage
My thoughts are my trap
No turning the page
My words will be spoken

Have you ever forgot your name?
Are you ever going insane?
From the sky do you see rain?
From your heart do you feel pain?
The storm came
You were to blame
You were the starter flame
The beginning of the game
Your soul you gave
You were brave
Dark cave
Hopes gave
Forgotten slave
No save
Instant grave
Beneath the wave
Fighting back against it
But will has a limit
You could plummet to the pit
Your story could be writ
But the pages can be flipped ...

Bellow of the beast
Bellow of the beast
Roundtable, a knights feast
Never more, nor the least
Fallen hero, one deceased
My introduction
Black widow and true seduction
Cornfield, an utter mass abduction
A dormant volcano, a massive eruption

Understanding
Understanding comes from perspective
Our knowledge comes from the past
We learn as we live for the future
The memories may never last
A dream can become a nightmare
The angel may become the demon
A rainbow comes after the storm
Your message heard, your heart's greeting
A clock may be struck between realms
Your journey may come to a stop
A kingdom may fall into despair
One seer may show you a lot
In a story, there is one beginning
In the middle, there is your inner conflict
At the end, a resolution is made ...
