POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I just enjoy writing if my mind allows me to. Nothing serious.
Writer's Block
I sit tired, lack of sleep
Head bowed down to my feet
Trying hard but cannot think
Pass through the day
Writer's block i cannot stop
Tick tock, click of the clock
There is no rest to my mind rot
What can i say?
Energy is needing me
But i feel distant
Wide awake i sit and dream
Is this existence?
Shall i shade myself from muse?
What words should i use?
Why brain is so confused.
Refused expression
I pour nothing forth
No lightning in the storm
This headache might contort
Unused...

Deemed
The plastic sole of my shoe
Steps upon the spider
Because i deem i don't want it here
Pest
I watch as its leg twitches
I wonder if it's nerves
Or it's last feelings of living
Stare
Life is so precious
It scares me to death
Breathe in deep
One last breath
There are others out there
Species survives, kill a bloodline
Spray the poison into the face
Deemed the cockroaches must die
The cell of Earth
Deemed humans, cancer
Cancer cell
Deemed planet's savior
Agile...

Your beauty is something no one can measure.
Your mind, is my greatest treasure.
Your smile brings me the greatest pleasure.
As i am infinitely in debt to whatever brought us together.

Ritualistic Smoke
Ritualistic Smoke
Water fills my lungs like clouds
To snuff out the air
My mind runs wild, my heart lay bare
Sinister mentions of folks
Water feels like the ones run down
Closed minds like to stare
Mine is not one to stop and care
What has this world become?
The same as it's always been
Eventual nonexistence
As it may when sentience ends
Continuous broken patterns
Not that any of it matters
We'll split the tide like the atom
Blast of waves I cannot fathom
Addicted to breathing ...

Blind Words
I cannot see my words
Blind to what I've heard
Get carried in the wind
They're gone again
Deaf to my reflection
Myself throughout the day
Myself threw out the day
Same, unchanged
Untouched comprehension
Myself throughout the day
Through all our lives
How can we stay?
Nothing left behind
Wish of rewind
Not how it works
I sit beside myself, I'm blind to hurt
Deaf to all this pain
It's just the day, it's all the same
Where did i place my brain
Throughout decay
I'm...

Get carried in the wind

Nothing left behind

Deaf to all this pain

Wildflower
You're a wildflower-
And no one can lord you-
Standing out-
Wishing to hold you-
Close and tight-
Both inhaling deeply-
Perfect eyes-
A flower worth keeping-
Unplucked in the meadow-
Wind flowing through your hair-
Your lips, they form that smile-
In which I love to stare-
Flower under the stars-
Smells as if perfume-
And while you are so far-
We both watch the same moon
And no one can lord you-
Standing out-
Wishing to hold you-
Close and tight-
Both inhaling deeply-
Perfect eyes-
A flower worth keeping-
Unplucked in the meadow-
Wind flowing through your hair-
Your lips, they form that smile-
In which I love to stare-
Flower under the stars-
Smells as if perfume-
And while you are so far-
We both watch the same moon

Less than slash three
Something like 15 years.
Finally got my chance.
My pain, I cannot exude romance.
The way I feel I can.
Over in a flash.
I'd say the same thing if it were lifetimes.
One night was not enough.
My smile holds no one to really blame.
I wish for her the best.
Always knew it wasn't me.
So now I spew all this bullshit.
Just in my head stuck wondering.
Over analyzing. Of all my miniscule details.
Perfect wouldn't be good enough but i fear I'll never get there.
I have no real reason, to share this all aloud.

Squandering
I've squandered so many hours staring at these lights, that they've shined into years.-
I've longed for fortified towers to hold back the fight, that they've encased me in fear.-
Walls built too tall, leaning in from lack of foundation.-
The stones finally come crumbling down after so much hesitation.-
My bones ache from the myriad of humbling devastation.-
Cold and empty eyed, as I glance up (from the ground) searching for restoration.-
Clawing from the inside, the stones come crashing down upon me.-
I do not know my strength, as I lift...

Exposed Sinew
Here I stand-
Before kneeling in the sand-
Skin peeled back from hands-
As they embed themselves,
I feel nothing-
I've lost my nerve-
Can't help feeling what's deserved-
Sitting back on heels,
just to observe-
I am unwanting-
The sun touches my face-
It burns my eyes,
My stare in place-
Radiant without a trace-
Tears come out dry-
Regretful I am not-
For my heart holds in alot-
Bleeding all as if were shot-
This honest beach,
In where I lie-
Prison cellular walls of...

This
Envy this
A suit made of gold
The owner must be bold
Forever bought and sold
Picture this
Fire touches lips
Burning of the lists
In which the fire rips
Envious
Time itself grows old
Telling of what you're told
Scolding of the cold
Picturesque
The curse itself is blessed
The test of taking steps
Tired limbs that seek the rest
A suit made of gold
The owner must be bold
Forever bought and sold
Picture this
Fire touches lips
Burning of the lists
In which the fire rips
Envious
Time itself grows old
Telling of what you're told
Scolding of the cold
Picturesque
The curse itself is blessed
The test of taking steps
Tired limbs that seek the rest

-Let me undress your mind, instead of your clothes
-Let me kiss your thoughts, instead of your lips
-Let me make love to your brain, instead of your body
-Let me hold your pain, (unfinished)
-Let me kiss your thoughts, instead of your lips
