POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I guess I’m a poet. It’s hard for me to think of myself as anything at all. Aside from maybe a complete and utter disaster.
Groundhog Day.
My unbeating heart makes not one
Single gesture
The sores on my arms are infected and festered
Blood runs cold, stopping in its tracks
What was once full of life, now lacks
Lay still, silent
Though not quiet, no not very quiet
Searing red, strife and violence.
I wake up, in a hospital bed
Only to find that it’s happened again.
What could possibly have gone wrong?
As I wake from the dead,
Entire life infront of me
Hanging by a thread
There’s No light at the end of my tunnel ...

You.
Dear you,
Hey you. I can't talk to you. I call out your name, but you can't hear me. I miss you so bad that some days I don't think too clearly. You made me who i am today. And for that, ill tilt my hat, cause you taught me more than you will ever know. I just wish you were here with me to help teach and watch our daughter grow.
Life the way it is now, just doesn't seem real to me.. It’s almost like none of this is real, and i made up all these memories. Almost as if you died, or maybe it was me that died.. And if thats the case, hell is where I’ll be, until the day I can touch...

Shooting for the scars
Discusted by my self
Mirrors make me cringe
Cant stand my own reflection
So I left on a binge.
Suspended in a void
breaking all the rules
Yet I just keep pushing
Disappearing from view
I’ve been foolish this far.
Deceit creeping among shadows,
bitterness and toxicity
Leading my way aimlessly through the shallows
Now completely alone.
Trapped by myself in this place I’m alone
The longer I’m here, despair finds me faster. As if from nowhere, stopping abruptly in place.
A Sitting duck,...

Israel
His Israel has become the underside of beauty
Everything is toppled over, bleached out and gritty
Ruins, the fatherless are screaming.
Haunting Echos clang off the walls of Her city.
Israel, why are you afraid?
Israel, my dear, you've fallen, stricken by plague ..
Our nights are lengthened, your days are full of sadness and shame.
There are no more blessing’s,
Even if you were to pray.
There is no more wine, no more medicine at which to numb out your pain.
You’re arms weakened and tired
you have blown out
Every vein.. ...

Leaving Las Vegas
Its times like this, that I remember you ..
Like the time I finally figured out what the hell
You were talking about when you said I was
you're Elizabeth Shue.
Everything has become tangled, trashed, and
mangled.
Our love has been choked up, snuffed out
and strangled.
These emotions have become some what
Of a danger... a little evil anger From a familiar stranger .
The memories play on repeat, again and
again
Songs of our distant laughter
Are now deafening echos of a love long lost
in my head
Snatched away from me, ...
