POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
My poetry speaks for itself
Acts of Love
The intoxication phase
When attraction blossoms
And we vow with hearts filled with joy
To do what caring does
Is the hidden bottom in Us
"I love you because
I needed the care"
It was in your eyes,that the present tense wasn't there
Perfection wasn't the promise
Neither was concealing reality
In the name of commitment
We fall short.
I blame loneliness
That blinding light
That stuns you're eyes
And tunnels you're vision.
U arrived
As rain in the desert
Cleaning the dust from my skin ...
When attraction blossoms

And tunnels you're vision.

Covert Opperations Officer
The desperate love bites,
of a dying romance.
No amount of intervention,
can revive a woman's mind
who's made up.
Sex is a deathbed,
we toss and turn in,
where we never learn our lessons.
Our heads don't rest,
with minds running on one track.
The horror of being an afterthought.
As she delays,
a response that arrives way too late.
I'm barking up the wrong tree,
of her self obsessed me,me,me's
and their supposed pedigree.
Subliminally,let's me know
I'm not as important,
as I thought I was.

Midnight streets
Flashbacks and blackouts
Arriving at places,where u cant back out
Avoidance has pushed u into a corner
With the unpredictability
Of mental instability
A red light warning.
Of teeth clenched into a smile
I know your kind.
I've decided the cut out the exposed nerve
To remove the feeling from what I've observed.
White knuckle it
Thighten and buckle it
Honesty makes u attractive
Eventhou ure trying to forget
And I'm trying to not regret
Meeting you

Envy
I wanted to be a "MacGyver" type of man
That when placed in a tough situation,
from nothing I'd make a plan.
I wanted to be as resourceful as I can.
Now you understand these hands.
Relax
Your father deny's you
Lies against the truth
he's old school
And your a creature
A monster rising from a swamp
U might as well freefall
They assasinated marvin gay
Throw your cares away
Look what sort of implications,
they attached to your name.
I Stayed
What a dissapointment it would be
If I ran

A Boy Named Sue
I'm man enough for you
Raise that brow the other way
Don't judge the cover
Before you read a page
I'm more then wht u think,eitherway.
Its not my place to say
but if I may
You are where I want to be
Mind
Insight
Lips
Neck
Nape
Chest
Waist
Cake
Sensasions beond taste
Is where I want to be
Moonwalking on galaxys
You should come find me.

Yet
Woman,understand me
As you know yourself.
Its not about the face I see,
but the current of the truth in me.
I don't want to fight for what is mine
I want mine to know where she belongs.
For if you don't know
what is the point.
I'd Pursue you,no more.
Lord,have dominion over me
Lord,guide my foot,keep my soul steady.
There is something in the air,
that charges the breeze.
Like a shiver braking free,
It has a hold of me .
I'm running on an empty field
bracing myself for the ball,

Where have all the good ones gone
She wasn't coming back,anyway
I knew it,before I knew what to say.
They don't care at all,everyday
The pressure broke them,
so heartless is what they became.
Ill give u the benefit of doubt,everytime.
I have so much faith in human goodness,
that I'd let u rob me blind.
I've been denying the signs,
of a world is so unkind.
Been crossing my fingers too long,
to see some proof
of unselfishness in you.
I was wrong all along.
Wrong,to not keep my broundries in place
Wrong,to allow so much,to enter my space.

Sunny side up
She rolled down the car window,
and glided her hand through the air.
carefree calm,was always the most attractive part of her outlook.
Let's make light of our inadequacies,
Bumble bee.
Let's not scare each other to death,with everything we need.
I blame all these commercials,
for your rainbow colored hair,
and your fixated stair,
bent on magnifying me out of proportion.
I point the finger,
at these relentless assaults,
on our common sense.
Telling us what we want,and what were not.
In simpler times
I would have...

Hermit
I kept forcing the knot in my throught down with seer wil.
I kept tongueing the words
Until there urge to be hurd
Was nothing more than a puddle to be swallowed.
It worked,
and the day stayed on course
Later
I would asses the damages
And patch the slashes
Tell myself a little joke
And move on.
I hated the coldness I felt
When my warmth was challenged
I hated the cost of having it all
How it felt like a self imposed rape
A maiming of a vital organ,needed for existance.
I hated the suffocation involved ...

Looking out over nothing
There is always one last thing to say
Memories are nightmares
That wish you back here
In a Fog,where none walks
Will there ever be more
I miss how we were before.
Heart be quiet
Its time we move on.
She not around anymore
Its time we let go.
Forget everything u remebered to keep you strong
Forget your part in what went wrong
She's far away and long gone
Too afraid to drop a tear
Cos who wil stop these floodgates
Once u let those drops flow
There is no empty.
Turn the other cheek
Burn papers to ash ...

A life worth living
I could not live,
with the disappointment.
Of a woman wanting more,
than I could give.
On sunlit mornings,
she'd devoutly prepare breakfast.
She'd search my eyes,
to find that place where she lives.
Holding close every memory,
that brought her here.
I could not live,
with the disappointment.
Of admiration drying on lips.
I could not live,
like this...
The picture frame fell,
and broke.
She cried,
silently...
The tears streamed,
as if they had been waiting,
for this...
with the disappointment.
Of a woman wanting more,
than I could give.
On sunlit mornings,
she'd devoutly prepare breakfast.
