Poet Introduction
I'm Kris.. Sometimes I'll scribble down what I'm thinking. Sometimes it rhymes too.

Suited Robots
Actions, 'They' say
Speak louder then words
But you can't hear 'Them'
With a ear full of my verbs
You can't see 'Them'
'They' strap you up with the blinkers
Tunnel visioned population
Produces narrow-minded thinkers.
Yet all the while we'll be
Creeping in your peripherals
Until the day you realize were all
Just a collection of individuals.
That being different is not cause for exile
That being normal dose not mean you lack
Your own substance or style.
That having a shitty job dose not mean
Your just, Part...

Basking in Ellipses
(A longer one I'm preparing for a Spoken Word short film. Tell me if it's any good)
They say
If you have nothing good to say then say nothing at all
Implying that every silence is filled with bad thoughts
Regret and remorse
Yet when you talk, all I hear is your breath escaping
The supposed good things have become flagrantly vacant.
So what we're left with is the space in between
Your noise that flows constantly like a stream
Subconsciously
It's that, Vanilla
All filler, No killer
Same old talk
Recycled...

Life Long Verse
All of these words that fly around my head
It's like you going home and sleeping 7 in your bed
Claustrophobic to the point I want my mind to be vacant
So I go out, Get twisted, Sleep alone on the pavement.
I used to think this urge to rhyme was a curse
Not my life vehicle, A social hearse
Guess that's another contradiction in this life long verse.

You, Girl at the bar.
You don't know me
And before I get a reaction
I've got some words upon my chest
And I'd like to dispatch them.
You are beautiful.
Normally this strong a physical attraction
Proves such a distraction
It scrambles my brain, so my words fall out in fractions
But it's not intimidation I feel from this interaction.
I am humbled by your presence.
So without wasting time on empty sentence
I'd like to avoid all the bullshit pretense.
And deliver you a sincere invitation
To come with me to a quite location
To give each...
