POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I just write stories that may or may not rhyme. They mostly rhyme. Some of it is sexy, some of it sweet. A lot of it angry. Most are experiences turned ink blot, some just repurposed junk in my head. I write because sometimes, I need the room.

Push
I can't have been the only one
That grew up without my mother
Gettin smacked around by Life so young
Using humor as a cover
Emotions skinned to brittle bone
They escape into my face
Can't hide a fuckin thing with Tone
It's in my eyes, not what I say
Ripped apart, stitched back up
Bad decisions set aside
I should be a bit more unbalanced
With an addictive axe to grind
This world owes me nothing
For the choices others made
To leave me bleeding, Love receding
My heart aches for them the same

The Beautiful
When necessary
Dissolve the political bands
Assume the powers of the Earth
The laws of Nature
That they are endowed with unalienable rights
Deriving their powers from consent
Destructive of these ends
Abolish it's foundation
To affect their Safety and Happiness
Prudence, established accordingly
Experience mankind disposed
While evils are sufferable
Abuses and usurpations
Reduce them absolute
Their duty to throw off such Guards
security
patient
necessity ...

Steps
How can it be
Still tethered to me
Unable to pull it close
Want to reach it within
Unsure where to begin
My apologies deaf of tone
Deep cavernous divide
I cannot abide
If only I knew the way
Cutting out stone
Tools of my bones
Steps to the right words to say
Deserted vision
Cut surgical precision
The cruelty leaves a scar
Blade double sided
Two wrongs collided
Still, Salvation isn't far
Wildfire emotion
Follows deep rooted devotion
That alone remains unseen
Invisible...
Still tethered to me
Unable to pull it close
Want to reach it within
Unsure where to begin
My apologies deaf of tone
Deep cavernous divide
I cannot abide
If only I knew the way
Cutting out stone
Tools of my bones
Steps to the right words to say
Deserted vision
Cut surgical precision
The cruelty leaves a scar
Blade double sided
Two wrongs collided
Still, Salvation isn't far
Wildfire emotion
Follows deep rooted devotion
That alone remains unseen
Invisible...

S.o.S. (Spoonfuls of Sugar) 2012
Spoonfuls of Sugar to absorb the taste of soot
To soothe the gentle saunter of deceit underfoot
Like a dancing clam full of Willing & Wonder
No way to prepare for the Earth shattering Thunder
No storms to compare to, no Safety, nor cover
No rope to cling onto. Not even each other...
Lest we not forget promises? Whilst we break them & hide?
Away from the Shame of lookin Me in the eye?
Perhaps a whisper of Fury shall bring you your Peace?
Nurse you with Venom, put your Black heart at ease...
Your throat must be bruised...
To soothe the gentle saunter of deceit underfoot
Like a dancing clam full of Willing & Wonder
No way to prepare for the Earth shattering Thunder
No storms to compare to, no Safety, nor cover
No rope to cling onto. Not even each other...
Lest we not forget promises? Whilst we break them & hide?
Away from the Shame of lookin Me in the eye?
Perhaps a whisper of Fury shall bring you your Peace?
Nurse you with Venom, put your Black heart at ease...
Your throat must be bruised...

Paper Hearts
I wanted to put words to paper.
A thought. Maybe more?
Elegance of poetry exalting delicate admiration
A story, perhaps with predetermined destination
Eloquent enough to visualize the color of enunciation
That bursts and overwhelms in disorganized succession
When embers spark a spoken thought...
Perhaps not.
Best not to force it, you say.

In Chains
I die
Just... a little more. with each tempered thought
Knowing you don't mourn for anything we've lost
There must be someone knows that feeling...
It's the one that catches in your throat and explodes into your chest
Replaces Love with an empty void cuz the Queen of Hearts was not impressed
But
I accepted her blind fury. Ravaged yet, sublime
A masochistic wish for stars whose lights will never shine
So agitated with confusion, I fought to find a way
To deal with staying here. just suspended in a way
Just hanging on...

Treble Smoke
Pure dope. Liquid domain.
Lyrical high slippin into your vein
A melody of souls. A Chorus of pain
The sounds of our Silence chirping away
Wishes that unravel a tongue tied in Knots
Speaking beauty and strength into long suffered thoughts
Travel one single note. A vessel unseen
Your world in a thimble. Humility redeemed
Guilty pleasures lit. Treble Smoke in my lungs
The strings of a guitar and a Voiceless strum
Addicted and alone to fall into the beat,
Kick the world out, Purge your demons and breathe
Lyrical high slippin into your vein
A melody of souls. A Chorus of pain
The sounds of our Silence chirping away
Wishes that unravel a tongue tied in Knots
Speaking beauty and strength into long suffered thoughts
Travel one single note. A vessel unseen
Your world in a thimble. Humility redeemed
Guilty pleasures lit. Treble Smoke in my lungs
The strings of a guitar and a Voiceless strum
Addicted and alone to fall into the beat,
Kick the world out, Purge your demons and breathe

Flipping Coins
Afraid to speak a single thought, lest the rest come tumbling in its wake...
The worries you've sworn to have fought, have come for Judgement Day
Living in a mist.
Every action automatic.
Daily woes unfounded.
Narrowed panoramic.
The next step was There, no turning back around
My foundation somehow slipped, and all that's left... is Now.
How painful it is to have your vision Cut to tailor such narrow tragedy.
Reality forced upon you with the stink of your own Mortality.
The journey I aspired to, I can't even see it ...
The worries you've sworn to have fought, have come for Judgement Day
Living in a mist.
Every action automatic.
Daily woes unfounded.
Narrowed panoramic.
The next step was There, no turning back around
My foundation somehow slipped, and all that's left... is Now.
How painful it is to have your vision Cut to tailor such narrow tragedy.
Reality forced upon you with the stink of your own Mortality.
The journey I aspired to, I can't even see it ...

Dirty Fingers
I can't even remember the last time I felt
Safe
With someone.
Safe giving every bit of me without hesitation
A gift
Perceived as low hanging fruit
A smile
That must equal Easily Impressed
But I was not built within the flesh
Of a bruised apple
You can't squeeze my quieted worth between your fingers like an overripe plum dangling from a weighted branch
My gift
Is not a thick skinned citrus bittersweet going rancid…
But thank goodness for thick skins
No. My gift ...
Safe
With someone.
Safe giving every bit of me without hesitation
A gift
Perceived as low hanging fruit

That must equal Easily Impressed
But I was not built within the flesh

Tracing Stars
Careful distance tarnished
Embraced inhibition
Single moment lost
Blissful comprehension
Sharpened a reaction
Dragged across the chest
Explore a tender thread
Pull it loose, whisper, "Yes"
Just… yes.
Stay
Breathless moment.
Pull it tighter.
Trace the stars of my own desire
Score the backs of stolen glances
Feeding into slow advances.
Danger. Absolute.
Stay anyway
Find you under moonlight
Warm and ever strong
Bring you closer to me
Lines blurred everlong
