POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Been writing since i was a kid. i use different styles and enjoy playing with form and rhythm.
Plants
Plants are pretty
Plants just sit there, waiting
Plants never get embarrassed
Plants display their flowers
Plants are sluts
Plants just sit there, waiting
Plants never get embarrassed
Plants display their flowers
Plants are sluts

Mother
And now in my hour of sorrow and grief
I find it entangled with blessed relief
The love in my heart intermixes the two
Sweet gracious surrender I bow to you
I find it entangled with blessed relief
The love in my heart intermixes the two
Sweet gracious surrender I bow to you

Birds
Birds speak a language old and true
Birds know what is what and who is who
Birds see you and what you do
Birds they know a thing or two
Birds know what is what and who is who
Birds see you and what you do
Birds they know a thing or two

Love Is A Weapon
If hate won't bite it
And we can't fight it
Then let us love it
As we rise above it
It can't make sense of it
It has no defense from it
If we lovingly engage it
It will surely enrage it
And we can't fight it
Then let us love it
As we rise above it
It can't make sense of it
It has no defense from it
If we lovingly engage it
It will surely enrage it

The Blue Tube
Some dreams are more than dreams.
Some 25 years ago I 'dreamed' this. It is an exact description, for I remember every detail.
It is a bright chilly day and I am walking in the parking lot of the apartment building where I live and am almost at my car door when a very loud metallic clang rings out, akin to the sound of a sledge crashing into an anvil. I look up and towards the west from where the noise came and see the horizon turn white and then in a flash everything turns white.
I wake up naked in a transparent tube with a bluish hue....

Reflection
I have read all the books I need to read?
I have fed all the mouths I need to feed?
I have bled all the blood I need to bleed?
I have deseeded all the seed I need to deseed?
I have pleaded all the pleas I need to plead?
I have needed all the need I need to need?
I have fed all the mouths I need to feed?
I have bled all the blood I need to bleed?
I have deseeded all the seed I need to deseed?
I have pleaded all the pleas I need to plead?
I have needed all the need I need to need?

ZAP
I became aware. It was a gradual awakening, dimly dimly at first and perhaps best described as slowly becoming aware that I was becoming aware.
Where am I, what is going on, who am I, those were my first coherent thoughts and one came after the other and so I noticed that time was a thing. It was my second discovery,
the first realizing that I was. I saw nothing, I heard nothing, I sensed nothing except the passing of time, a reality which quickly became intolerable to me.
I am in some sort of captivity, I deduced, I have to break free. Something had confined me...

Enemy
Fucking cancer
I hate you with my life
You tried to get me
Nearly got my darling wife
I won't let you
Even view my loving son
Stars forbid you
From having your evil fun
I despise you
You had your go at me
I am your enemy
Your mistakes are costly
I wage war on you
You will know my will
You think you know
What it means to kill
Fuck you into eternity
My fury has zero bounds
I will have you kneel
Before frothing hell hounds
I hate you with my life
You tried to get me
Nearly got my darling wife
I won't let you
Even view my loving son
Stars forbid you
From having your evil fun
I despise you
You had your go at me
I am your enemy
Your mistakes are costly
I wage war on you
You will know my will
You think you know
What it means to kill
Fuck you into eternity
My fury has zero bounds
I will have you kneel
Before frothing hell hounds

Man In Flame
It is how and why it came
Nothing could be same
Without
Man In Flame
Power scores couldn't tame
Time will hide a name
Within
Man In Flame
Sans glory sans shame
Sans infamy sans fame
Inside
Man In Flame
Coming move in a game
Opposed cannot maim
Outside
Man In Flame
The world in a frame
It was ultimate aim
Until
Man In Flame
No one made a claim
All shared in blame
Since
Man in flame
Nothing could be same
Without
Man In Flame
Power scores couldn't tame
Time will hide a name
Within
Man In Flame
Sans glory sans shame
Sans infamy sans fame
Inside
Man In Flame
Coming move in a game
Opposed cannot maim
Outside
Man In Flame
The world in a frame
It was ultimate aim
Until
Man In Flame
No one made a claim
All shared in blame
Since
Man in flame

Owner Of My Heart
I was lost in a nightmare of my own making
I knew I had to find some way through
My heart and soul were there for the taking
I thank the stars that the taker was you
You say
Any less is too little any more is too much
And I say
Only you can heal me with a mere touch
I knew I had to find some way through
My heart and soul were there for the taking
I thank the stars that the taker was you
You say
Any less is too little any more is too much
And I say
Only you can heal me with a mere touch
