POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I do my best to be anything but one note. I've been writing poems for years now. I go through phases. I wonder what i'll be after this phase?
Loving the enemy
What am i to do.
I love you.
But you love hurting me.
Your blind eyes can't see my scars.
Your numb hands can't feel me bleeding.
But i stay, i pray, and i cry.
My sobs fall on deaf ears.
I love you.
But you love hurting me.
Your blind eyes can't see my scars.
Your numb hands can't feel me bleeding.
But i stay, i pray, and i cry.
My sobs fall on deaf ears.

Love of nature.
The dark clouds have come.
They block the beauty of the sun.
Heavy rain slaps across my naked flesh.
As i dance and sing.
I allow my skin to absorb her nutrients.
I feel one with the earth.
The clouds leave.
I wave see you next time to them.
While i wave hello to the moon.
I shiver slightly in the night.
Sinking in the mud.
Oh how i love nature.

Sinking in the mud.

Lost mutt.
I can feel it, slimey, cold and thick against my flesh. The taste, old and stale. I tolerate it. Since so long ago. I would turn and run. Red iron, returning to earth, dimming in its glow. I've been staring at where a soul should be for hours now. I'm searching. But like home, there is none to be found. That's why i do what i do. I want the warmth you have. I dream of what i had, when i look at you. Maybe once, long ago i had a home? Maybe i still do? Maybe I'll find it in someone else?

Special love
Me and you. You and I.
Our love is special, like each and every sunrise.
Or the fall of every tyrant.
So i hold you close.
The most passionate embrace.
I hold you tight enough to break you.
I'll smother you forever, and i'll never let you get away.
Our love is special
You mean the world to me. I bear your love marks like a badge.
All over my flesh they will show for an eternity.
When the world separates us, to you i run. For you i fight. For you i bleed.
Our love is spring and fall.
The cold bitterness of winter. And it's desolate...

Moving on
I push through the dark valley. The moon can't shine through the trees. I hear every scream. See every drop of blood. I feel every tear, and it blinds me so. I push, a shadow in the dark valley. I can feel their stares. Hear their fears. Oh how loud they scream when i fly by. But i push through the pain. Every scar, every bruise, every torn muscle and broken bone. I'm just running home. But a african man running will always be scary?

Just some feelings
I see now, clearly.
My glasses hug my head tight.
I know i am right.
I am here for more than just a fight.
I am the darkness in the light.
Call me the end.
I watched and waited.
Decades of slumber, with bright smiles and sliver tongues.
I twist and turn, until reality was a lie.
That even I couldn't understand.
Now i look in the mirror, and you're all i see.
The webs paint a pretty picture.
It's mesmerizing and deep.
Let it sink into your soul.
I'll hold it and burn it.
Soft to hard to crumble.
I see the yellow tint in...

What's got you down?
You being the focus.
You are free to do what you believe.
You can go as far as you can dream.
Never shoot for the moon.
This is an endless universe.
The moon is a nowhere in a space that touches every where.
So what's got you down?
You being the primary focus.
Because you are number one.
Love yourself more than anyone or anything.
And whatever has got you down shall pass.

Forever a Twisted Dreamer
I am forever in a world of darkness, swallowed hole by fire.
My eyes are blind folded.
My hands are bound.
The swords float around me.
I wait for them to carve into me once more.
I could walk away.
But I love the sorrow.
I love wondering if there will be a tomorrow.
I fight, just to fight.
I surrender, to make it harder.
I love my blood rushing down my arms and on to the floor.
Because my bindings aren't tied.
The swords are blunt from missing so much.
I could leave the dark shadows and fire, and become someone.
But I'm...

Ramblings of an old love.
I remember the day I fell into your arms.
My wings to small to hold me up.
I took a leap of faith, no one but you noticed.
You comforted me in your gentle embrace.
You picked me up, after I crashed. You urged me to pick whatever path I wanted.
You showed yourself to me, bearing your heart.
I followed it.
Deeper and deeper into you.
My arms out strecthed I felt your touch.
I was blinded, but I followed you.
You gave me so much.
Showing me only what I was ready for.
Pushing me only when I was ready to be pushed.
Ba-dump ba-dump....

Abyss Walker
I've traveled the endless abyss for a decade now.
I've seen so many come and go. Age twenty-two.
It never meant anything, not till I knew them.
But I trekked on.
With company, or in solitude.
I've run, fought, taught, learned to laugh and love.
I've seen, been given, and gave power.
I understand the difference between trying and doing.
I am always making sure my actions match what my mouth says.
I've tripped, stumbled, bled, cryed and cared to get where I am.
I will always love the abyss.
Because no matter which way you turn, there is no going...

Haunted
I can still feel it clinging to my flesh.
The smell is so strong and fresh in my nostrils.
The pit is reforming in my stomach.
I know I won't be eating again today.
I see that face when i close my eyes.
I hear that scream in the silence.
I can't stop my pounding heart.
Not like i did theirs.
