POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Been writing since i was a kid. i use different styles and enjoy playing with form and rhythm.
Rip The Sky
Rip the sky
Don't ask why
Stick your head through
Just look at you
Paint a cloud
Shake your ass about
Stomp the ground
All around
Praise a Lord
Swing the rusty cord
Chew the fat
Know where you're at
Blaspheme the moon
That mangy coon
Crush the ice
You're feeling nice
Swallow a star
You're going far
Tear a heart out
Let's hear you shout
Rip the sky
Now you know why
You're through you're through
We look at you
Don't ask why
Stick your head through
Just look at you
Paint a cloud
Shake your ass about
Stomp the ground
All around
Praise a Lord
Swing the rusty cord
Chew the fat
Know where you're at
Blaspheme the moon
That mangy coon
Crush the ice
You're feeling nice
Swallow a star
You're going far
Tear a heart out
Let's hear you shout
Rip the sky
Now you know why
You're through you're through
We look at you

Equilibrium
Listen up
Talk to me
Everyone
Will be free
Sense me now
I sense you
Everywhere
Will do it too
Think about it
I contemplate
Every time
Will not be late
I am yours
You are mine
Everything
Will turn out fine

Tonight
There's a green blue halo around the half moon
We know what that means
We will be with it soon
There's a great big awesome promise to keep
We have heard it before
It is time to run deep
There's a small moment inside our light orbs
We feel it for sure
And what it absorbs
There's a low growling howl in the mid night
It has been foreseen
Our wings near the flight
We know what that means
We will be with it soon
There's a great big awesome promise to keep
We have heard it before
It is time to run deep
There's a small moment inside our light orbs
We feel it for sure
And what it absorbs
There's a low growling howl in the mid night
It has been foreseen
Our wings near the flight

Deus?
It cannot be created it cannot be destroyed
Without it less than nothing not even a void
It is the origin of every conceivable synergy
Is an outside force a hidden root of energy?

Give It Over One More Time Baby + Kinski
For "It ain't easy" competition
An exercise in bad poetry
Tell me how bad it is or I will have another fit
Give It Over One More Time Baby
I miss you so much rancid darling
Every time I am sipping a Carling
Yes my eyes get wet and sparkling
While tearing the head off a starling
And mixing it in with my Darjeeling
And the wind is howling and gnarling
So I know you won't find it startling
That what I miss most is
Your belching farting and snarling
Kinski
This is...

Sore e
So enticing in your tight jeans
i had resolve and the means
i should have just let it pass
i am sorry i grabbed your ass
You kicked me well and true
My legs were swollen and blue
And boyfriend punched my face
So as to reiterate my disgrace
Saw stars my head was humming
While i knew i had it all coming
This bittersweet memory lingers
i confess but i blame my fingers
i had resolve and the means
i should have just let it pass
i am sorry i grabbed your ass
You kicked me well and true
My legs were swollen and blue
And boyfriend punched my face
So as to reiterate my disgrace
Saw stars my head was humming
While i knew i had it all coming
This bittersweet memory lingers
i confess but i blame my fingers

Like
Like a native hut with no thatch
Like a gate in gale that won't latch
Like a cigarette without a match
Like a warm egg that won't hatch
Like a lady aroused with no snatch
Like a burning itch I can't scratch
Like a clever joke I can't catch
Like a gate in gale that won't latch
Like a cigarette without a match
Like a warm egg that won't hatch
Like a lady aroused with no snatch
Like a burning itch I can't scratch
Like a clever joke I can't catch

Quite
The unblemished will worst suffer a blight
To know the depth is to appreciate a height
The earthbound most acutely long for flight
There must be an ease to fully grasp a plight
Pathetic weakness inspires awesome might
It is the fearless who can best instill a fright
A man must be dull for another to be bright
To be a gentle soul is to comprehend spite
There has to be wrong for there to be right
It is through blindness that we receive sight
We earn a day's blessing enduring the night
We need darkness that we...

Circle
There is no wall there is no gate
There is no time while we wait
There is no you there is no me
There is no singular eternity
A circle starts where it will end
A new beginning around the bend
And so it went and so it goes
And what it's for no one knows
So on we walk so on we run
Have it all as we have none
A dream of life a life of dream
Maybe more than it may seem
Round it goes round is all
And we rise to see us fall
As we plead why oh when
Then we start it all again
There is no time while we wait
There is no you there is no me
There is no singular eternity
A circle starts where it will end
A new beginning around the bend
And so it went and so it goes
And what it's for no one knows
So on we walk so on we run
Have it all as we have none
A dream of life a life of dream
Maybe more than it may seem
Round it goes round is all
And we rise to see us fall
As we plead why oh when
Then we start it all again

Cash Out
Late night and chips are down
Man in middle wears a frown
Roulette player of no renown
Cleaning table going to town
All he needs is one more spin
Pushing the pile goes all in
Eyes a spectator with a grin
Can't be beat is going to win
Feet planted firm on ground
In for a penny in for a pound
Wheel spins round and round
Ball clicking it's a lucky sound
To pay back rent bet on black
Plans on getting girlfriend back
Red is the winner ack ack ack
Poor guy has a heart attack
Man in middle wears a frown
Roulette player of no renown
Cleaning table going to town
All he needs is one more spin
Pushing the pile goes all in
Eyes a spectator with a grin
Can't be beat is going to win
Feet planted firm on ground
In for a penny in for a pound
Wheel spins round and round
Ball clicking it's a lucky sound
To pay back rent bet on black
Plans on getting girlfriend back
Red is the winner ack ack ack
Poor guy has a heart attack
