POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
When I was younger I thought that poetry had rules and what I was writing was rubbish. In time I learned that there are no rules in poetry, no fouls to commit, there is only your naked soul, laid down there. Exposed, but more secure than ever.
Chasing the dragon
chasing a dragon you never catch
chasing that first time you met him
you always chase that first time
but it never comes
it will never come
but you keep chasing that first time
day in day out with zeal you try to find him
you take one step forward and two steps back
day in day out feeling dead and inside black
chasing that first time you met him
you always chase that first time
but it never comes
it will never come
but you keep chasing that first time
day in day out with zeal you try to find him
you take one step forward and two steps back
day in day out feeling dead and inside black

A life worth living
sometimes life can seem difficult and in vein
but don’t give up
the only thing that won’t betray you is your efforts
live life
love life
no matter how hard
or painful
it seems at the moment
the time will come eventually
that you will be able to lie on your bed
and think that your day really was worth it
and when that day finally comes the feeling will be so amazing
that will get you hooked for life
a life not in vein anymore but a true life with meaning
...

Hope
There are nights darker than others
And you are still here in my mind
Giving light to my dark thoughts
And even if that light is faint
It fills me with hope
To make it to the sunrise
And you are still here in my mind
Giving light to my dark thoughts
And even if that light is faint
It fills me with hope
To make it to the sunrise

Mirror
You wake up in the morning
feeling like a shave
and a bath
will make you human again
shivering with your nose running
you
look in the mirror
with pain rushing throught
every
nerve
you have
what you see?
a faded image of your
past
self
but i have been there
too many times
i must say
so
listen to me
you might be lost
you might be broken
you might be in pieces
but you are
alive
and bit by bit you gonna
live
some pieces of that life might be good
some might be bad
some...

Morning Sun
Life is not fair
But you should not care
Time has passed
You are not who you were
You been through so much
You got pretty hurt
When the pain left
Your heart still bled
But now after dark
A new sun has rise
To warm your soul
To make you feel nice
No strings attached
He won’t ask a fee
The only payment he wants
Is to see you free
Do you feel it too?
That warmth in your chest
That sun needs you
To shine it’s best
But you should not care
Time has passed
You are not who you were
You been through so much
You got pretty hurt
When the pain left
Your heart still bled
But now after dark
A new sun has rise
To warm your soul

No strings attached
He won’t ask a fee
The only payment he wants
Is to see you free
Do you feel it too?
That warmth in your chest
That sun needs you
To shine it’s best

One Shot
one shot
one fix
one more
just in case
sleep deprived
counting time
remembering that
bitter taste
what you want
what you need
you stop
and count in haste
a pre-spent life
of hurt and fear
too real just
to fade away

Live dont survive
Constantly told
how to act
how to think
how to behave
how to fuck
how to eat
how to shit
how to survive
who to be
we forget
that
all we have to do
is
LIVE
