POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Twisted and unusual, frequently called weird and awkward.
Sea of voices (the unhuddled masses)
A thousand faces, each with a story
most will fade into the void, without glory
the cry of pain and troubles go unseen
by so many as we power the machine
churning out so much, no time to stop
and possibly see each and every teardrop
because despite our differences
we are brothers and sisters with significance
but as we are pushed and prodded
to pursue more, become applauded
we fail to maintain our candle
burning deep in our heart's mantle
until we realized far too late,
the flame is gone and death is our date
most will fade into the void, without glory
the cry of pain and troubles go unseen
by so many as we power the machine
churning out so much, no time to stop
and possibly see each and every teardrop
because despite our differences
we are brothers and sisters with significance
but as we are pushed and prodded
to pursue more, become applauded
we fail to maintain our candle
burning deep in our heart's mantle
until we realized far too late,
the flame is gone and death is our date

Sometimes(The walls) Hurt
Verse 1
Even if I could, I don't think I should
make you feel something for me
it's just another sunset in history
take it how you want, don't worry, I won't
no more need to lie
tomorrow has already said goodbye
Chorus
Alone at last, just us two, fading fast
afraid to say what we both know
that today was tomorrow that we let go
maybe it's my fault or yours
but this disease has no cures
I'm not a man you need, so godspeed
and adios my friend
tell them hello for me, I got a wound to tend
...

Mother
To the one who keeps us all
from the great to the small
Thank you for your love
and beauty below and above
we don't always do the right thing
but to your amazing Nature we sing

Rest
One more day, that's it
but I know I can't quit
I have to keep going just a bit longer
the promise of a safe haven getting stronger
my eyes feel so heavy and sad
but I know home is coming for this lad
so with a heavy sigh I pick up my soul
and push forward, time for a stroll
but I know I can't quit
I have to keep going just a bit longer
the promise of a safe haven getting stronger
my eyes feel so heavy and sad
but I know home is coming for this lad
so with a heavy sigh I pick up my soul
and push forward, time for a stroll

Cue ball
So today I did a thing, an odd thing indeed
my hair became freed
and I became a glorious cue ball
but the best part of it all
I look rather dashing
with my smooth skin flashing
maybe not the most appropriate style
but it's here for a while.
Rack em' up.

Schedule
Longing in my loins
to see you in escasty purloined
as I lean in and breathe in your ear
fuck you and your schedule dear

Castle of thorns
I climb thy walls made of thorns
to get to the chalice of love borne
the pain and aches it may bring
will be worth it to hear heavenly angels sing
but alas I have reached your climax
to find I have nary a moment to relax
before thy trophy like lips devour mine
as you enter this contract so devine

That's why
Your smile, your warmth
your love, your desire
your fire, your drive
that's why

The man I'm not can't compare to the one I am
I'll never be perfect I've accepted that
medical issues abound and I am a tad too fat
my smile isn't photoshopped or plastic
but it still makes me feel fantastic
I'll never be immune to shame sadly
sometimes I do mess up pretty badly
I do mispeak and say things that are wrong
but I'm still in love with this song
sometimes my manners fail me
but in the end my demons cannot avail me
because I have found, to my surprise
the beautiful man who has survived the lies
and self doubt and destruction
only to rise without hesitation or...

Cheeks
If you see me scurrying away
it's not your fault, I just don't want to play
although most would describe me as cute
usually my mouth is filled with my winter loot
ignore the stripe down my back if you please
it's part of my beauty that comes with ease
and my mating call sounds like clicking
but I'm always the one who's playing chicken
as I scramble about looking for food
hoping I don't put a hawk in the mood
some call me a monk with chips
other say I have the cutest lips
but mostly I am just a tiny critter
hoping to not become...

Car Ride
I picked you up today
after getting off work on this beautiful day
I drove you to our spot
your tongue hanging out like you were hot
I looked over and a tear came to my eye
you looked at me as if to ask why
I wanted to tell you our last ride was soon
maybe September maybe the end of June
I had so much I wanted to say
but all I could manage was "I love you, okay?"
you sat there enjoying the incoming breeze
as my pain began to ease
I know you love me too
I'm your papa and you're my Jenny roo
so I know...

King of the cave
Long is my lust for sleep
when winter does creep
hibernation is the name of the game
but not everyone plays it the same
in the spring you can find me at the river
using my sharp claws to deliver
a tasty meal of salmon or other fish
when it comes to food I'll take any dish
campers usually prefer I stay away
but sometimes their food brings me their way
it's silly the reputation I have received
if you believe me evil you've been deceived
although I will protect my cubs with my life
usually I do not look for strife
so if you...
