POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm just here to write. You like great you don't still don't care
Me
I don't know the men trying to kill me.
I don't know these men I kill.
No I'm sitting in the moonlight.
Not even sure how I feel.
Is God ashamed.
Is my faith even real.
The devils not to blame here.
Man has created more evil than he.
So long in hell.
Not sure anyone can save me.
Beautiful family I don't deserve.
Sins I pray yall never see.
I'm a lost cause. Dancing in the shadows of what should be. Can someone please say what the fuck is wrong with me.

Last of the Devils Brigade
The stance in the dark.
Seems different in the light.
Even my shadow seems opaque.
Have I found more clarity.
Have I just found peace in a moment.
Have I finally made my way completely home.
Do I still shed tears in hell peering into heaven.

Barbaric Prayer
Swords clash, frightening times.
Life and death way on both minds.
They fight each other strictly as told.
Small part they feel bonded in soul.
Whom is this one we call enemy.
Leaders have problems but you done none to me
Neither allowed to relinquish
Possible their family will vanquish.
What a foolish game to play.
Not a word to say.
Wounds bleeding out.
Looser falls in a bloody shout.
Victor now stands sickened by the deed.
On to the next battle proceeds.
Where are these brave...

Mo chroí grámhar
Is breá liom ach tú.
Tá mo chroí fíor duit.
Do bhandia mo lae. mo bhanríon go deo.
Ní féidir leat ach mo phaisean a scaoileadh.
Lig dom do liopaí a bhlaiseadh arís dul ar meisce ar do uachtar lavish.
Tá m'anam measctha leat ach is leatsa mo chroí.

My Kelli Elizaheth
When I look into your eyes.
I know what I must do.
To hell with heaven
If I can't have you.
I've danced with the devil.
Fist fought angels.
Just to hold you.
I'd kick open gates in every hell.
You are precious.
No can dispute.
With all that dwells in me.
I will always love you.

The strandhills
I awaken in the vault.
Deep in the heart of the strandhills.
Place brought me heaven and hell.
Standing the cliffs watching sails.
Ireland you'll always be my home of origin.
Also where most of my tears dwells.
I've danced with the devil on rainy nights.
Stood helpless watching witches cast spells.
Colombia is my home now.
I bid you bitter farewells.

Truth as I see it
World full of hypocrisy.
Killing ourselves hidden guillotine.
I came from struggle.
I lived in strife.
World painting pictures of a vartious blight.
Men aren't allowed to be men.
Castrating us brings life to an end.
Or maybe I was right im truly condemned.
Made a few friends but more enemies.
Feeling like maybe I'm just a disease.
Behind closed doors plot genocides.
While they carve artwork from our hide.
More than political, biblical, drenched in blood philosophical.
World gone crazy acting ignorant and wild....

Happy holidays
Merry Christmas to you and yours,
Happy Kwanza, happy Hanukkah, and more.
Is a time to love one another time to adore.
To every single one on every single shore.
Happy holidays from castle del Reedus

Just know when it's time.
Merry Christmas those of DU.
It was nice meeting a few.
I've learned somethings from all of you.
My time here is through.
I write to keep my mind straight.
Lately it's not working anymore.
Anyway short and sweet time is getting late.
So I'll tip my hat show myself the door.

My blight
Lay in wait.
Nothing righteous no debate.
I don't know this man, yet I set his fate.
Adjust for wind, curve, and elevation.
He's playing with his kids damnation.
Tap the trigger, bullet penetration.
Head rocks back everyone screams.
Awake again another ghost in my dreams.
It's never truly over it seems.
Sweat dripping seems every pore.
How I know I am damned to my core.
Yet I can't remember having innocents to restore
Am I a monster, some horrific beast.
Blood stained from head to my feet. ...

Then til now
Born in the troubles Dublin knows.
Cyprus, Greece and East Timorese.
Somali and Lebanon, claimed souls.
Yugoslavia and Chadian always no peace.
Few times UN send us into the sand box.
Convinced myself I was doing right.
Til I was looking at a kid oh this sucks.
Am I different than those that gave me blight.
Vomit oh God what the hell am I
Am I really this monster I just can't see.
Why won't you just let me die.
Why do you keep haunting me.
Drinking becomes my temperate release.
Only a moment of peace.
It...

In the beginning
Quick light so bright its blinding.
Takes a few days for sight.
Nurtured and loved no worries binding.
Three years old begins the blight.
Can't forget the first they say.
I slipped hit my head on the wall.
She kicked me in my ribs.
Punched me in my jaw.
Grabbed my hair lifting my head.
Slammed it to the floor.
Said if I tell any ill be dead.
Informed me I was the child of a whore.
Woke up next day sore still feel.
Her old family Bible she slams in back my head
She was destroying all my will
Smiled...
