POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
A spaceman , it's what they call me ... uh , earth to kid .
Reminsce
We spend so many moments
Thinking of times hard to forget
Afternoons or dull lolling
Nights of grim star gazing
Cloudy mornings of regret
How tirelessly we wonder ,
Where old lovers take shelter
When our anthems start playing
Do they turn the dial louder ;
Or ignore it all together
We spend so many moments
Thinking of times hard to forget
And cast away the chances
To create something to remember
Thinking of times hard to forget
Afternoons or dull lolling
Nights of grim star gazing
Cloudy mornings of regret
How tirelessly we wonder ,
Where old lovers take shelter
When our anthems start playing
Do they turn the dial louder ;
Or ignore it all together
We spend so many moments
Thinking of times hard to forget
And cast away the chances
To create something to remember

From Walter
We watch the man , on high horse ride
Through peasant street , he trots on by
Adorned with prize , he flaunts his pride
The men all cheer , the woman sigh
Yet , both look on with jealous eyes
The fame he holds , we all despise
I wonder though , is it just luck ?
He found the path , success is about
Or the common man , be forever stuck
Impoverished by, the hand of doubt
It might be that , it's just gods plan
He knows it is , he thinks he can
Through peasant street , he trots on by
Adorned with prize , he flaunts his pride
The men all cheer , the woman sigh
Yet , both look on with jealous eyes
The fame he holds , we all despise
I wonder though , is it just luck ?
He found the path , success is about
Or the common man , be forever stuck
Impoverished by, the hand of doubt
It might be that , it's just gods plan
He knows it is , he thinks he can

Age
We Keep pulling at our hands
Pressing on the dirt
Sowing dreams that were never meant to thrive
In the confines of our guilt
The whims of sin giving birth
To offspring so convinced , consumed with notions so contrived
I peer up at the youth
Looking down with entitled eyes
It's not enough for them to know
That you created their blight
A Worthless stint of ignorance
Arduous climbs constantly yearning , searching for you to turn an open eye
They're still gnawing on their limbs
abscess marrow giving way

Snowy Summers
A pale little smile
Sitting by the water
In love for a while
The sly guys fodder
Eyes speak in serenades
Falling short of words
Truth starts to fade
The deceit goes unheard
Lips touch willingly
Kissing through silence
Lust lives nightly
The morn kills allegiance
What do we have by day ?
Our connections erased
Strangers only play
In the dreams they chase
That's what I meant to say
Won't you be my lover today ?

Sleeping With Shadows
A perfect expedient for a lonely boy
Mind full of ice and the thoughts to enjoy
Sleepwalk for days alone in this head
No speech atonement with the shadows instead
Compensated fulfillment of destructions company
Ensnaring a sensation devoid of sincerity
Like a method acting on itself unknowingly
Day long trips to the convenience proctor
Second spent hours at the Ill head doctor
Conversing with stutter as if I'm a linguist
A joke in a riddle or a bow on a cyst
Apparent to the cast that I've kissed her lips
Synthetic...

Just Because You're Paranoid
Braving the frigid city air once again
It's felt like a while or more
Since I've been subjected to the gawking eyes
Gleaming tirelessly at my miserable posture
And My weak shaken steps shaping a non linear path
So queer and benign
I only made it a block or two
Before my pathetic repose began to run out of steam
And the limited motivation I carried
Dwindled into an unrecognizable amount of withered vigilance
A shattered bastion fallen to the merciless hordes around me
So Harsh and unsympathetic
I just wanted to...

Fragmented Segments
This heart is a symbolic semblance
Of the constitution that we pretend
To know that we feel and apprehend
A literal presentation of emotion
Is this an excuse for our lack of confirmation?
Could we portray what we mean without what's relative?
Is this all that you've come to see?
Or am I just a try hard with an over blown ego?
Have I just stated what is already prevalent ?
An egotist mind within your own assumptions
would be just as forbidding as it's own relativity
To claim that this love is so endlessly brilliant

Pathetic
My stomach is fucking rotting
The slithering entrails of self destruction
Creep a little closer to their own grotesqueness
As I break the fast with smoke inhalation and a caustic re-flux
May I allude to something with a little more kick-back ?
A subtle blast to an already mangled awareness
The cessation of a bodily decay that I can acknowledge
Comes as contrived as the fake persona I've come to adorn
Swallowing the pretensions I've hesitated to admit
The underlying denial of our own ignorance
How quickly we come to deny such a carnal rule...

Drink It up, Fo' Rum
Loathing in an avoidant inadequacy
Sympathizing with the lack of inhibition
To create a quote without a pixelated facade
A puppet in this artificial illumination
Stains the rows of these delayed conversations
With sarcastic replies and profile picture alibis
... we could never say what hasn't been said
An unfulfilled existence recycled from the dead
Sympathizing with the lack of inhibition
To create a quote without a pixelated facade
A puppet in this artificial illumination
Stains the rows of these delayed conversations
With sarcastic replies and profile picture alibis
... we could never say what hasn't been said

I Tried To Make Conversation.....
The gift of observance comes rushing back
As half-lit skies circumvent in upheaval
Seeing the hidden guise for what we all lack
I quick deduction spawns an intent retrieval
Grasping the whole of what my peers are concealing
A half-ass attempt to make sense of these feelings
All of these words are so hollow and insignificant
Pleading a case as if they have a sense of morality
A conceded hope that ends up as a wasted expedient
The building block pieces to a straight willed society
Fixated mortification's that serves as our propriety
Keeping our...

Un-dead Poetry
Rebellious minds wander through enlightenment
With new found insight into a deeper understanding
An illuminated sense of self - disguised in complexity
Stroking our ego's with a persuasive fascination
Gutless contrarians thriving off schematic exceptions
Objecting to proposals is all that seems formidable
Double edged intellect embracing it's own prevarication
Claiming supremacy as the better half of the equation
One more plagiarized thought to dwell on
Re-occurrence of Ideals in plain lucidity
Come crawling forth from the genetic sea
To...

Nothings In The Way
Somewhere near the tree
a decadence of mangled limbs
Watching as the roots undo
Into skeletal remains of growth
Exhaling all that air
Just to crash and burn
A poignant point to state
As this graveyard planet resumes
Waste away all the days
On this rock up in the sky
No resistance can be met
When you're merely here to die
What we call our problems-
Are just self centered complaints
Excuses to find meaning
In this worthless empty place
a decadence of mangled limbs
Watching as the roots undo
Into skeletal remains of growth
Exhaling all that air
Just to crash and burn
A poignant point to state
As this graveyard planet resumes
Waste away all the days
On this rock up in the sky
No resistance can be met
When you're merely here to die
What we call our problems-
Are just self centered complaints
Excuses to find meaning
In this worthless empty place
