POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I wrote a lot and said many things. I think for my final days here I'd like to relive it by posting some of my favorites.
Fighting for a Goddess (Posted 4/20/2017)
you found me shattered and alone
so much hope you give to me
take my life and take my soul
I don’t need them when they’re broke
heal me with those words you speak
you’re no devil, a god damn angel
ah body of a goddess
and the mind of the world
everyone wants you
but I’m just a mortal man
I have nothing to give
only my heart
maybe with a hug I can win you over
or just a kiss to show how much I care
feeling like I’m looking desperate
a damn fool in front of a flawless being
...

Cuddle Me Blue (9/18/2021)
I hear people talking
asking who the fuck do I think I am?
I'm the one who digs deep
when the task seems steep
I'm the man with the plan
getting it done when no one else can
I reach for the stars
not giving a fuck who you are
just in case you're wondering
who the fuck I think I am
I look around the room
seems I just dampened the mood
all these haters staring
has got me confused
never knew they cared
it's like they wanna cuddle me blue
I'm the man you talk crap about
but never to...

2D World (Posted 7/18/2021)
some days I feel so far away
because no one hears silent screams
so detached from my mind
i’ll accept with time
there's no place for me
I feel so real yet so fake
no one finds the time to think
about my feelings about my past
but then again that's how I am
one day I’ll be so all alone
and I’ll be happy in my 2D world
no one to help me or save me
just an empty space to call my own
I'm worried when I’m happy
and I am open when I’m mad
the things that build me also break me
something that I don’t...

i see YOU (Posted 3/29/2019)
they sunk into you their snide remarks
attacking relentlessly
damaging the person you are
at one time they were monsters
now they aren't even that
they moved on into their clicks
forgetting the shit things they've said
but you never forgot
no, it's like yesterday those feelings
diving into your hobbies
you still long for some kind of purpose
too afraid to even move forward
to do so my leave you vulnerable
and vulnerability is painful
even though I can't change your view
or make right the past
I want you...

Some Whore (On the Internet)
I logged on to read some poetry
that's when I came across your page
skimming through your comments
I can see you still run that game
the same one you played on me
makes me wonder
why you got so mad
when I said
I wasn't who you thought I was
guess I'll never be that alpha man
little miss 30 year old virgin
or whatever the fuck you said
because let's be real
you were the queen of liars
I knew things you didn't think I knew
it's cool
at least I got your nudes
thanks for all the times you sexed me ...

Stupid Motherf**ker Apocalypse
everyone walks around like a zombie
but it is me screaming brains! brains!
where the fuck are the brains!?
seems one day became today
thinking we're too late
it's the stupid motherfucker apocalypse!
we've heard about them
even seen them around
the stupid and hateful
we didn't think much of them
laughed them off as a joke
little did we know
the stupidity was spreading
the headline read Hillary lost
a reality TV star won
oh well
what's the worst that could happen?
a few years passed
now we have a...

With Each Day
I wonder
as I sit up late
only got a couple hours sleep
and I have work in the morning
maybe this week has just been rough
the last thing I needed
was some self righteous prick
talking to me about how great they are
yet, when it's time to prove it
it's almost laughable how badly you fail
but it goes right over your head
standing there so proud of yourself
looking at me for some kind of approval
and maybe I should just force a grin
would of been easier
if I didn't deal with this shit
time and time again ...

Veil
pressure
we felt the pressure
it was something
we never even thought about
easy
it seemed so easy
just work, come home
and love each other
sick
we grew sick
with all of life's problems weighing
yet it still feels like it'll last forever
but I see though the veil
everyday that passes
more and more the reality sets in
this journey will one day come to an end
but I'm so glad we ventured together
I know with each year
it's just gonna be more and more issues
with the halfway point...

Trump can eat a dick (and so can you)
cowards hide their tails
guess it's best to lay your head low
might buy you some time
before they lead you to the gallows
hope is a strong word
in a country that lost its soul
forgiveness can be given
with admitted fault
at least that's how it used to be
history is dark, just tell it like it is
you ravish in your luxuries
while denying reality
that murders got you that
rapist and drug dealers got you that
and innocent people suffered
so I guess it's no surprise
that descendance of the KKK
would put all...

Heartbeat
I have money
I'll throw it up to the sky
have blisters on my hands
but I'll keep working
on my knees
if it keeps you satisfied
yes, we mingle
with all the cool people
not my thing
but I see how it makes you feel
just give me this
the time I get
to hold you tight
drifting off into paradise
I'm not too wild
just a little fucked in mind
a kiss on the cheek
sends my demons home
I know you say you're not sexy
but if that's true
then why does my heart keep beating?
hell,...

Pyromaniac
they say
it's not cool to have empathy
watching human beings
being targeted and dehumanized
like Nazi Germany
hope is so last season
and equality is seen as unfair
to who?
the very suppressors
I burn bridges
like a pyromaniac
don't need no Mr. "I listen to both sides"
tell that to the families ripped apart
life is hard enough without that shit
bring me your sick?
sorry liberty
you've been tied up and gagged
and left for dead
yeah, mercy is just not cool
sorry Jesus ...

The One
our time plays like a movie
when I first saw your face
and when we first kissed
the restaurant we went
on our first date
meeting the family
spending our first holiday
our first pet
we took care of them
in our first place
going to my job at the factory
not my first
but felt like my first big responsibility
got a little older, got married
had hardships
lost family, friends, pets
how I miss them
that time flew again
got even older
hobbies changed
we changed, the world changed
yet we...
