POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
i've been writing since the ninth grade. Started out doing love and pain stuff. Switched to more inspirational and instructive words as i've gotten closer to 50. lots of my work is self therapeutic. Hope to help someone else.
A Brown Sugar Jones
Whichever man said aloud that sweet things cause cavities
Has never had you in his teeth
The poor dear who believes too much sugar is bad for you
Must be hooked on those horrible artificial sweeteners
that just don't quite measure up
No one who has tasted you
(I consider myself to be one of those so blessed)
Would be satisfied by anything,
but the real thing
Any man,
again, my speech is first person specific,
who has had his lips graced by you
Wants only the thickest, darkest, sweetest thing he can find;
To get him started in the...

My Queen (You're the Heart of This Man)
What you do to me is absolutely mind blowing. What you do with me is like magic made real.
But what you do for me requires a category and a class all its own.
When I'm with you, I have faith in myself. I have courage. I stand tall.
Because of your presence, every fiber of my being stands up and roars,
"King Kong...ain't got nothin'...on me!!!"
My lady, you are incredible! You're amazing to the point that I am hard pressed to put into words the effects of what you do to me.
You touch me in ways never imagined.
Beyond the sex,
with your fiery...

Love Rhythms (Dancing After Dark)
There is a drumbeat
In this heartbeat
And
It has me awake
Fast like a racehorse
Sharp as a thunderclap
Steady as the heat of a simmering stew
Coming down slow like a spring "planter's rain"
It's the echo of a lullaby, hummed under her breath as she sleeps
Staccato, and stutterstep.
Hail falling on a rooftop
A whistling snore, with undertones of new Pine meeting a freshly-honed saw
Aggravating in its existence, yet soothingly consistent
A leaky faucet in the sink
that denies me the slumber I seek
Tap. Drip....

I've got a little boy
And he just turned three
energetic as Hell, barely taller than my knee
And every time I make a move towards the door
He asks if can he go with me
If I grab my coat or if I lift my keys
Then he ups and grabs his coat too
He don't care if the coat is turned inside out
'cause by then
he's done grabbed his shoes
He stands by the door frame
All ready to go
Or in front of the knob if he must
He looks up and says to me,
"Daddy, Don' Le'e Me"
It'll damn near make your heart bust
If I'm going...

Love At First Sight (And A Helluva F*#K)
Never saw a woman like her
not in person anyway
But I'd always wanted to
She walked like I wanted Talked like I wanted
Said what I wanted to hear And even liked me
Just like I wanted
Walked her to her car...
and she smelled good
And then I began to wonder
if those beautiful luscious lips really did taste as good as I had hoped and wanted
Didn't plan to get any
Because
We were strangers
though Lord knows that was all on my mind since this dark chocolate divine inspiration had walked her big legged self into the room
I wanted...
not in person anyway
But I'd always wanted to
She walked like I wanted Talked like I wanted
Said what I wanted to hear And even liked me
Just like I wanted
Walked her to her car...

Rewards
I watched a prince become a king
I watched a young bird first take wing
I saw a word become a song
One step became a journey long
I've seen the birth and growth process
Both have their pain and their success
I have watched struggle yield sweet fruit
I have, myself, known age and youth
Work hard, you must, to have progress
Without trials, victory does mean less
To make your choice and see it through
Is how life is made and how life does make you
I watched a young bird first take wing
I saw a word become a song
One step became a journey long
I've seen the birth and growth process
Both have their pain and their success
I have watched struggle yield sweet fruit
I have, myself, known age and youth
Work hard, you must, to have progress
Without trials, victory does mean less
To make your choice and see it through
Is how life is made and how life does make you

Is A Man What You Want?
Is he...
Strong?
Check.
Loyal?
Check.
Sensitive?
Protective?
Check.
Possessive, but not controlling?
Decisive?
Check.
Willing...To listen, To share, To just be there?
Check.
And check again.
Do you really want a man who is driven, and everyday willing, to go all out?
Or, do you want a puppet who will place all he is in your hands and under your control?
Do you want a point and shoot attack dog so you can scare those around you into letting you have your way?
Do you want a loud and visible, but ineffective watch...

If I Were What You See...
When strangers see me
They often react as if afraid
I do not know why
I am slightly bigger than the average man
But I'm neither Manson
Nor Dahmer
Nor Bundy
Yet those who don't know me
respond as if someone has unleashed a monster in the room
Do they see not me
but the potential for destruction that my twenty inch arms could bring?
Do they see not a man capable of protecting the people he loves, but a fifty inch chest of a wrecking ball looking to wreak havoc whilst he walks?
Yes,
I am strong
Yet I'm no villain
No,
I'm...

I Heard A Fly Buzz
I heard a fly Buzz at the moment I died
When you took back your love
And my heart broke inside.
Heard a mouse piss on cotton
Fore being eaten by a snake
Right before the owl killed him
Heard a rabbit's knees quake
Heard unhearable sounds
Of death, pain, and demise
I heard all that matched
The agony in my tortured mind
I heard a fly Buzz
At the moment I died
When you took back your love
And my heart broke inside
When you took back your love
And my heart broke inside.
Heard a mouse piss on cotton
Fore being eaten by a snake
Right before the owl killed him
Heard a rabbit's knees quake
Heard unhearable sounds
Of death, pain, and demise
I heard all that matched
The agony in my tortured mind
I heard a fly Buzz
At the moment I died
When you took back your love
And my heart broke inside

LOYALTY (PART II)
Sometimes, your friends are all you have. You back the people who back you. Sometimes, that takes you off the side of the angels and puts you in league with the devils. Wherever you land, be true to your claims.
Right and wrong are matters of perspective. A lion probably believes it is wrong that he remain hungry when there is food to be had. An antelope most likely believes it is wrong that he die that a lion may eat.
And, perhaps, they are both so busy surviving that philosophy has no room in their minds.
Bear these things in mind. History is written by the victorious. 'Might...
