POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm just here to write. You like great you don't still don't care
Drifter
Suitable log up on my shoulders, time for a run.
Up this mountain cool morning breeze is on.
Sixteen kilometers legs burn.
Respect and pain something you earn.
Throw the log from my shoulders time to lift
Train battery on a cable, the pain a gift.
Hundred twenty kilo rocks pick up throw.
Cold crisp air good for the soul.
Strap to my suv drag across the field.
Stretch again release the stress I build.
Seventy kilo rocks each hand punch
Nintey kilo rock do a few crunch.
Throw a rope in a tree...

Night vision
Crossing borders Canada never been here before.
Whole drive my mind and heart tore.
I still see you my love tears fill my eyes I still adore
Tree after tree each kilometer pass.
Pull up for petrol back out fast.
I'll break the steering wheel I don't ease my grasp.
Out by a lake British Colombia has peace.
Some lady won't quit speaking, go away please.
You don't know me not in the least.
I dint want to talk or eat with you.
I want to be alone is that wrong to do.
I had to move before my temper blew.

Sandman
Just off of north vine.
Back in California, last I was here I had a fight.
Watching you will appear in time.
God I hate the neon light.
I told yall I'd be around.
In the shadows just out of sight.
Yall wanted this game.
Sandman call say goodnight.

I'm coming
I can smell the burn.
I can hear the screams
Devil comes again.
My sins haunt my dreams.
I see the evil men do.
I know how much we wrong.
Nothing the TV says is true.
They've lied to you all along.
One secret organization or another.
Templar, Mason, illumanati
They despise my existence but created me.
They dare not come They know what will be.
Starters hungry to make a mark.
The elders fear me they know
You could make idle threats then.
With my family gone I have no soul.
I...

.454 the judge
Covered in sweat.
Trying to calm the mindset of a vet.
Somewhere between demon and man.
Looking at my calloused hand.
God decided I wasn't worthy of yall.
Still not over screaming about it all.
Hit the bag others stair.
Go about you buisness none of you care.
Lady why are you staring at me.
Just leave me be.
I know the monster I appear.
Start lifting weights do you watch in fear.
Why are yall watching me.
Go away please.
I'm not covered in sores I've no disease.
Do not touch me...

Drinking night
Two hundred push ups.
Lift weights til my arms can't no more
Stretch til I can't
Upside down work on core.
Bottle of scotch
Heavy bags til glove tore.
Another bottle.
A few bottles more.
Chin up.
Medicine ball bell flick
Jumping Jack's
Calisthenics
Another bottle
Run til sick
Another bottle
Another to fix.
No one will spar
Guess time to go.
I needed to spar.
Release my soul
I need the pain
Help get back control
Taxi to the hotel
Scotch on the rocks
Sweat...

5 dozen roses
I can only go one day at a time.
I refuse to ruin your image and insight.
I was a lost tattered would before you.
Not complete but I'm learning passed my blight.
You was my saving grace.
The queen of all to me.
You and our children was my only happiness.
Through tears is all I can see.
I'm not whole but I'll do my best to get better.
I'll rise to the occasion as I've always done.
I miss you my beloved,
As I lay flowers on the ground for you our daughters and our sons

In america
Sitting on the ports in New York.
Listening to the ones on the court.
I'm left alone.
No one but me to that I must atone.
I've danced with the devil in the burning sea.
Lush green lands no peace for me.
Coffee brown suit and black python shoes.
In my ice white Bentley on a cruise.
My heart buried in four Graves in colombian soil.
Pain still hits without recoil.
Hidden in the streets no one knows who I am.
Where else should I be but the land of the damned

Demon inside
My love for this world is gone.
The dark is all I knew.
You took my light from me.
To the deities, Fuck You
You took my sanity.
You destroyed my peace.
Everything I loved lay deceased.
Now my pain don't cease
Fuck it take me I'm done

The dream is over
My heart is broken.
My light has gone.
You was everything.
I'm left alone.
I loved you Liz.
I'll love you forever and always.
Heaven called you home.
No longer my angel to hear my praise.
I'll forever cling to your memory.
Today I lost my dreams.
I'll stay strong for our children.
Inside devastated screams.
My light has gone.

The damned
I don't make excuses for who I am.
I have seen I'm one that is damned.
I'm no hero.
I don't think I'm a villain.
Or am I anything at all.
Dreams say I'm condemned.
My thoughts say I'm cursed.
My wife says I'm forgiven.
My children's laughter says I can get repentance.
Not sure I deserve it.
World has sent more ways to kill me.
Yet here I stand.
I'm no demon, I'm no angel, am I even a man?
I have seen I'm one that is damned.
I'm no hero.
I don't think I'm a villain.
Or am I anything at all.
Dreams say I'm condemned.
My thoughts say I'm cursed.
My wife says I'm forgiven.
My children's laughter says I can get repentance.
Not sure I deserve it.
World has sent more ways to kill me.
Yet here I stand.
I'm no demon, I'm no angel, am I even a man?

History repeats
Born hated, but unwaivered the man was strength.
Notameohmésêhese father and Congolese mother.
Born 1927, he fought his way in this world.
Unchanged he fought on his way out.
My father was a very proud man.
Military hated him, only a cook negros can't see.
My father pushed through the ignorance.
Made his career where he wasn't even excepted in a country that refused to except him.
Very proud of his accomplishments.
He instilled in me not to allow others to decide who I am.
When I was in prison, only tear I ever seen him cry
