POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm just here to write. You like great you don't still don't care
Wild Irish rose
War a man made devise
Depending wich side if tyrant or merciful
Hate a onslaught emotion caused by differences
Something the world cant look pass
If the world knew what i know it could be different
Ive been to many continents
Seen many different creed religions races
No one is left out of the pain
You dont know the burdens of others til you clear your mind set
Lies are a sign of hate they are a way to guile a belief
Some are small some are catastrophic but all damage in the end
We all want to be loved we all want exceptance but...

The towel
When you have fought your whole life.
You know little of anything else.
Nothing like when they take it away.
Everyone says you have nothing left.
I have no more to prove.
Ive nothing to gain.
Ive known one woman who can always heal my mood.
The damage my body has sustained now it plagues me harsh.
Ive survived wars and nightmares and terrors.
Ive been shot stabbed bombed burned and left for dead.
Yet i still remain.
Only when she touches me does there come an end to my pain.
I was born with a gift from god.
Or was it a pact with...

Thank you
As I think about my life I realize I was pretty lucky.
I have been able to survive controversy most will never understand or see.
I know they say time will wait for no man.
Yet I'm not ready to go so death you will just have to wait for me.
I fight my fights, I ask no man for a lending hand.
Sooner or later you have to learn to stand on your own two feet.
Fear wasn't an option for me.
I refuse to lay down til I feel my job is complete.
Born under the hatered of a woman who despised my birth.
She had tried to beat all will out of my...

Live to die
Everyone is born with peace in their minds.
Not realizing soon everyone pays for their crimes.
I stand to my feet, I never break a sweat.
Fear is not an option for me, step up, place your bet.
I won't back down, I have too much riding on me.
I have to clear my mind to keep it from drifting to a place it shouldn't be.
I can remember when I was a young kid growing up.
Even then it didn't take long before I would start blowing up.
I guess everyone should have known then something was wrong with my mind.
But everyone ignored the signs.

Field of the yellow rose
I went to the woods and sat near a brook today.
I wondered what it would be like to watch you run and play.
As I drifted into thought I drifted into dream.
I awoke in a field of yellow roses standing near a stream.
As I looked around, I saw children running here and there.
I asked them where are your parents or the one for whom you are under care.
All of them smiled and pointed towards a small boy sitting with his feet drifting in the water.
I asked him who was watching over the children he said me, it's the will of my father.

Wolf's Den
He sits alone watching on high upon his pack. The loving nature of the cubs and mothers. Closing investigating for an attack. Longy the desire of his lover.
Rarely does he ever leave his den. Its not his place to be in the crowd. Remebering his childhood he wasnt permitted then. To be amonst others just wasnt allowed.
Smell strikes his nose a very different scent. Flames engulfing around as he scrambles to save them all. He runs the mothers and children to cover energy is almost spent. He sees his beloved knocks her from the top to thr rivers below forgive me lover. ...

These 4 beasts
Hate when my mind gets to this level
Another dance with the devil
Outside no expression to show
Inside the rage is taking its toll
A lamb with seven horns
His face has seven eyes it adorns
You belong to me warrior remain in peace
Upon my shoulders he layed fleece
The next beast a red dragon with seven horns and seven crowns
Swearing to place me in the death mounds
He will drag my soul into the firey seas
To rid the world of such a disease
A giant cat like beast then stands before me

teachtaireacht ó athair
I mo mhúscailt le mo pháistí ag gáire
Is breá liom féachaint ar an dráma
Croí beag lómhar
Éist go cúramach leis an méid a deir siad
Brionglóidíonn siad saolta a theastaíonn uathu
A ndóchas agus a n-aislingí grámhara
Is breá liom gach nóiméad go daor
Is breá an rud é a ngrá ghlan
is mise mo domhan
Mo gach rud beag
Coinneoidh mé iad i mo chroí go deo agus i gcónaí
ón nóiméad a rugadh iad chuala mé na haingil ag canadh.
agus tú ag fás tá a fhios agam go bhfuil im anseo i gcónaí

Simple truth
Beauty of a woman resides in her eyes. Yours have over flowed and created a masterpiece on an amazing canvas

Old gladiator
The stakes are high
The lights are bright
Beginning of a battle
Its more than just might
Each battles demons
They are cocky as hell
The bell rings at each other they go
Like a shark when blood they smell
Bones have cracked
Neither willing to bend for the other
Pure luck and will
They attempt to destroy one another
When its all over
One stands tall
The other in shame
Took a toll on his body before he did fall
My hands raised high
But did i just win
Is this worth ...

The struggle is real
I lay in the dark cold sand
Look at the curses done with my hands
I cant erase all that ive done
Find inner peace i dont believe there is none.
You want to see a tear
Hope ill have feeling of peace or of fear
Rage building up somewhere deep with in
Nothing destroys me then when memories flood me again
Why should i fear anything i see
Nothing can do more damage to i than me
Pyschatrist says its ok take this pill
Doesnt stop it just cant react to how i feel
I watch you sway. Hanging some loose
Around my kneck again old noose ...

Random thoughts of a madman
Steadfast at my demon as he comes out at me
Im not afraid, or are you to blind to see
Ive stood and faced death at my door
Wrapped in burns with shrapnel to my core
I do not fear death calling
I bow to no one, to my knees im not falling
Were you can hurt me isnt where you want to go
Thats something id rip out the devils soul
Ive been to war and many place i shouldnt have been
Went home and came back again
How far are you willing to push it your bound to rules
To test my limits is to proclaim your a fool
Ill be the first to admit...
