POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
My outlook reflects my writing; make haste but don't hurry. I don't think of myself as a poet. Some day I may actually deserve the moniker of "poet" but that day won't be anytime soon.
We Men Have Some Things To Figure Out
There are things a woman can do
subtle until she is gone
Reminds a fellow
that you are really not that strong
Making you rest when your
resistance is weak
Softening a pillow
when you are feeling quite meek
For we all know a woman can
catch a cold and soldier through
But us men can be really wimpy
we really haven't got a clue
What it takes to endure real pain
I dare any man to say
That ever giving birth
is a part they would like to play
And when it comes to sex
takes so little to get us...

Enough Is Enough
I have declared my independence
not sure if anyone cares
But my conscience is relieved
my soul no longer bare
If took the partying in Charlotte
to make me face my fears
I wonder if my parents felt the same
years back were they in tears
Ignored has been the fight against poverty
almost since that night in June 1968
A night my dad was jetting to the Ambassador Hotel
fate has it he got there too late
The current president loves his nukes
I just hope that for his family's sake
They are nowhere...

Politics Out, Sex In!
This would be a night when
I want to give you all I have got
Premium sexing is that what you sought?
When the injustices of the world
seem to have no cure
I yearn for an adventure
your body and a tour
Like today when I gave up on a party's lame tries
while in a foreign village a mother does cry
Tears for a love one in a war that never should have been
do we even care for the cause of this sin
Here at home poverty buried in Robert and Martin's graves
Glimmer in one John's short primary bid that couldn't be saved
I listen...

I am Mess
A mess of a human I freely admit
holes so many that rubber cement may do no good
Be easy to point to a mental imbalance
like it is all about my current mood
I do know that sex is on my brain
a lot just a darker skinned freak
I am hoping that is a function of having none
a woman walks by and I squirm in my seat
After teaching for years and even getting a award
it seems my pocket book has gone the wrong way
If not for hanging with daycare kids
little I would have in terms of pay
My solace is found in attempts at poetry or guitar...

DNC+RNC= Still need to change the channel!
Watched two shows, puppet masters in force
have to admit I started off favoring one
But in the end I have to say
from my party I may have to run
For with all talk about the middle class
not much for those below
Do we have to wait for a ghost of the sixties
for politicians that want us to know?
We still export bloodshed, so proud of a killing
don't care that as honorable as it might be
Something decent is lost in us all
when war is all we see
have to admit I started off favoring one
But in the end I have to say
from my party I may have to run
For with all talk about the middle class
not much for those below

Can't sleep
It's 4 A.M. and I have this need
come here sexy let me give you my seed
Let's grind till the sun comes up
I hardly bothered to fully unrobe
for I know what is going down
Not concerned with the rumor mill
the talk that may go around town
In the midst of the gratifier
consumed with the quest
Like a leech
can't get rid of the pest
Run in the stockings like I even care
when exploring your curves in intimacy's lair
The words parceled between sighs and moans
much greater relief then if all alone
Lips...

Are You Aware Of Your Power?
I think perhaps you are unaware of what you do
a condition which may be universal
As a flower supreme you are second to none
when in bloom nothing Webster's contains can do justice
Your petals so vibrant yet mask a joyful journey
to the stigma, the pleasure zone
It is here that I may offer my contribution
and drown my self in the bliss at the end of the trip
Conditioned as we are to replicate this process
has been described as so mechanical
And yet we know that emotions are well represented
mechanical my be the deed but the effects are not...

Down in Tampa there was a party
seemed like an exercise in dreams
Left me still wondering
about those that fall in the seams
One goal was to cast the president
as not being up to the task
Suggest that four more years would be horrible
to be avoided like a growing rash
Well the vp nominee crooned and hummed
from being in congress nothing new
But even Fox News was astonished
for his claims were simply not true
Which strikes me as odd for like any president
you can mark problems with some things he has done ...

Who For?
As a turner of words you might face this plight
interpretation of words that aren't always right
A purveyor of literature assumes all wisdom pure
but how can that knowing be so sure?
For not in presence when you crafted them so
yet act like your meaning is what they know
So many works have been misinterpreted bad
think about Manson who really was quite mad
The reality is you don't write for another
not normally another's praise do you want to be smothered
Maybe the true reason will come from the shelf
the first reason in writing is to say...
