POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I am what you see. For all you will ever know is what you can see.
True Love Forgives...
Here I speak of a truncated we
A description of your amputation of me
And here I stand on bloodied stumps
Still holding out my hand to thee
A description of your amputation of me
And here I stand on bloodied stumps
Still holding out my hand to thee

Humming softly
You turned the volume up
I became deaf
Used to the decibels
Until the fuse blew
We couldn't afford to replace it
You left
And the silence sang a lullaby
The quiet of my love
And here I hum it softly
As I heal the we of me
I became deaf
Used to the decibels
Until the fuse blew
We couldn't afford to replace it
You left
And the silence sang a lullaby
The quiet of my love
And here I hum it softly
As I heal the we of me

Five O'clock News (RealITY)
Everywhere I looked
Were tightly locked prisms
Shackled and blinded heros
Within arms reach of their keys
And each and every one
Was sure they were at home
In front of their TV
Were tightly locked prisms
Shackled and blinded heros
Within arms reach of their keys
And each and every one
Was sure they were at home
In front of their TV

Soil is New Possibilities
In the garden of my heart
I uproot and plant
A new kind:
Peace of mind
Forgiveness of mankind
Joy of being

This sharp you send
This stab I see
This city we be
All products of our mentality

Inside Out Mind
Inside I find
The we in me
As I seek
The me of thee
An inside out
Of this reality
The we in me
As I seek
The me of thee
An inside out
Of this reality

The Mirror of We
Please don't forget
The illness within you
You see within me
The illness within you
You see within me

Normality (30+ observations)
Etch and burn
Watch the flame
As the pain subsides
Another day turns
Balance is a chemical term
Watch the flame
As the pain subsides
Another day turns
Balance is a chemical term

For You Are Me Too
Isn't it funny
How you can only be free
When I'm free too?
That my safety
Is yours as well?
For I am truly you
The way that you are me too
How you can only be free
When I'm free too?
That my safety
Is yours as well?
For I am truly you
The way that you are me too

Suicide/Beached Dolphin
In the dark
I found you
Intelligent, sensitive
Eyes of blue
As the light winked out
I sang to you
A song of love
Comfort
Hope
For me and you
I found you
Intelligent, sensitive
Eyes of blue
As the light winked out
I sang to you
A song of love
Comfort
Hope
For me and you

Where We Are
And in this shell,
This receiver,
This transmitter,
This hologram of coordination
I find
The location of my mind
Within the you of me
This receiver,
This transmitter,
This hologram of coordination
I find
The location of my mind
Within the you of me

Here I find
In the machinery of my mind
Morality is the glue
That sticks together
Me and you
In the machinery of my mind
Morality is the glue
That sticks together
Me and you
