POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I don’t view myself as a poet. I have always enjoyed writing. I’m good with words and articulating my feelings and experiences. However, I’m not poetically inclined. I write what I feel. I like to cut open my vein and let it bleed out on the paper

The Drive
There he was with his left hand on the steering wheel and his right hand intertwined with her delicate fingers, doing his best to keep his gaze on the open road in front of him. But it was hard to focus on the road ahead when his entire world was to his right, sitting shot gun, bouncing along to the music and playfully capturing his attention.
There was something magical about this dynamic between them. There was this magnetic pull that neither one of them understood or could explain, but neither of them wanted to resist. Somehow, no matter what was happening in their little world...

Before The Magic Died
All these years where you weren’t there
And now I can’t imagine a day without you here
You’ve opened my eyes to parts of myself
I thought were forever lost
And you’ve awakened feelings within me,
I was certain I would never
allow myself to feel,
at any cost
There’s a duality to you
that captures my attention
This ruggedness and rough around the edges that covers this surprising softness
I know better than to mention
I find myself comforted by an ...

Wages of Sin
Revenge isn’t my style.
I’ll patiently sit back,
leaving the dirty work to Karma.
Clean hands, clear conscience
Word on the street is
life on the run, ain’t so fun.
And despite all the bitches
keeping you warm at night,
You’re still broken and alone.
Mistakes have a way of
catching up to us.
And the consequences
of your actions,
will soon collect their debt.
The earthly wage of your sins Is,
years of your life wasted
in a cell.
The spiritual debt, is
yours to...

Neutered
Any man
who lays hands
on a woman,
Doesn’t deserve to be called
a man,
At all
The judge calls you a
matter of public safety.
Society calls you a
repeat offender.
I call you a
dick with no balls.
Cut up your man card,
And please exit to the left.
And trust me,
I know all that comes with this,
when I say it...But,
you really are
just a little
BITCH
What are you going to do?
hit me?
Been there,
Done that.

Cinderrella’s Ball
You gotta have a decent sized pair of balls, if you desire to hang.
I’m pretty content with my pussy,
I don’t need another one
Im a strong personality,
Not everyone can keep pace.
A complicated mess,
spherical collection of contradictions.
Rendering you on your toes,
always guessing.
That’s what keeps life interesting,
or so it goes.
A whirlwind, if you will.
Dance with me,
and you’ll come out
drenched in intrigue.
Stunned, scratching your head.

An Insatiable Hunger
It starts like this...
She’s standing in her room,
looking at her
reflection
in the full length
mirror.
Putting herself
together,
Making sure everything
is just right.
In the reflection of the mirror,
She sees
you
enter the room.
She stands
frozen.
The silence,
ear piercing.
I’m watching her,
watch you
through the mirror.
Her gaze,...

Lost Boy
Guess it’s true,
Lost boys, never grow up...
But...
Doesn’t it get old?
Living life as a
proverbial teenage boy?
Physically maturing,
yet emotionally and experientially,
depraved...
Maybe it’s just me, but
I don’t understand the appeal.
then again...
I always viewed the story
of Peter Pan,
as a tragedy....
To never grow up...
escaping death,
avoiding responsibility,
and the pains
of adulthood.
Just pure childlike...

Roots and Wings
My mind demands to be rooted
My heart lusts for wings
Timelessly, bewilderingly,
mediating their differences of opinion.
Mind said,
don’t do it.
You know his type,
heartbreak is inevitable.
You’re smarter than that.
He’s not the one
Heart said,
Come on
Love is risk.
Take a chance.
Your heart is stronger than you realize.
He could be the one...
Mind said,
You’ve wasted enough energy in unhealthy,
dead end relationships. ...

Unravelled
A subtle
gentle tightness.
Barely the hint of a little tug.
Just enough to make me
stop
and
ponder...
A slight glance around
Hmm, peculiar...
Freeze, just a second.
Wondering,
what was that?
shrug it off,
Honestly, barely noticeable.
Tightness increasing,
feel a tiny pull.
It’s nothing, I think
Definitely nothing, I assure
Get it together, I demand
But,
Lingering...
Just a seed of doubt.

Thanks Mom: Part II
To understand me,
You must understand her.
Two opposing paths, fatefully intertwined.
For so much of who I am,
Is based on what she wasn’t.
Grandpa’s favorite,
his baby girl.
What better way to show favor,
than teach your daughter to
shoot heroin into her veins, at 13?
Sign of love in that world, I guess.
Who am I kidding?
He sealed both our fates that day.
Sending her down a dark and dreary path to her own demise.
Leaving me, navigating life without a mother’s love and...

Empty Words
As a master with words,
It is my expert opinion,
You are an idiot with yours.
Fumbling around,
Thoughts barely connect.
Do you hear yourself when you speak?
Nothing makes any sense.
Do you believe these fables?
Without truth, lifeless
Barren words spoken by a heartless human being
Words owe sincerity,
driven by respectful motives,
To express feelings, foster understanding, generate open communication.
Yours aim to illicit reactions, stir emotions,...
