POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write on many topics, but my favorite topics are Love (particularly age-gap, and age-gap between human and humanoid mythical creatures), high seas piracy, Paganism, morbidity, and my emotions.
Brazen Penny Stealing (NaPo #23/30)
Why is it "a penny for your thoughts", when you need to "put you two cents in"? Someone's making a penny.
One of the lowliest off all coins,
Filling of the purse, the deep coigns.
Found on the floor, and in the street,
Copper in color, they really are neat,
Epically when taking one every now and then,
Makes it not noticeable when
People go back to look at their money,
It's amazingly crazy!
Makes your mind hazy,
How they add up so fast,
Even when they are not taken so fast.
And no one will notice...

Meaning of Life (NaPo #22/30)
I've been trying to kick a dead horse,
Milking a dead cow, during the course
Of my life, trying to guess what's on the other side,
The meaning of life, why were we brought along for the ride?
But I've been doing nothing but rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic,
This has all seemed rather dramatic,
But in reality, it's just been a storm in a teacup.
We are not humans, trying to have a spiritual experience,
But rather, spirits trying to have a human experience.
We know not, what lies in wait for us, when our time comes,
But we were...
Milking a dead cow, during the course
Of my life, trying to guess what's on the other side,
The meaning of life, why were we brought along for the ride?

Sodium Lyghts and Fresh Cardboard Boxes (NaPo #21/30)
On the street,
In the city, that it does blanket,
With its vivid, glowing, orange-amber lyght,
Bathing the city in it's glow of ethereal, surreal, lyght,
Is an old scuffed up post.
Not just any post,
But the post...of a sodium streetlight,
Bathing the street corner, underneath the dim starlight.
Slightly better days, this post has seen,
Now its paint has chipped, and its lost its sheen.
Moths dance in the amber lyght,
Eyes aglow with the lyght,
Blinding their sight.
And just down the sidewalk is an apartment...

Smiles (NaPo #20/30)
Happy little children, playing in the park,
Makes me happy as a lark.
Holding onto their balloons, and swinging on the swings,
Brings to me, such joyful feelings.
Hearing their giggles and whispers, that go on and on for miles,
Seeing their bright, smiles,
Seeing their wide eyes,
Brings tears of joy to my eyes.
Happy little children, playing in the park,
Behind the trees, after dark.
Holding onto their rusty neck shackles, allowed occasionally on the swings,
Brings to me, such joyful feelings. ...

Things I Hate_003 (NaPo #19/30)
Every material must have a way to be created again,
Soil is made when animals die and when stones and other materials are withered into dust and then into terrain.
Most plants spread pollen through bees, butterflies, moths, wasps, and more,
Other animals mate, but then it gets rather obscure
And convoluted, complex, and confusing when it comes to humans.
Who's what gender? Who's what orientation? How many genders and orientations are there?
Does a deep bond of love, trust, and respect have to be formed before intercourse can take place? Some would disagree...

Things I Hate_002 (NaPo #18/30)
I hate to judge but I must say,
If I were ever to purposely listen to one of these bands or watch one of these movies, it would be the Earth's doomsday.
Twenty One Pilots' only good song,
Is "Heathens", sorry if you think I am wrong,
I can't stand Adelle, Taylor Swift, My Chemical Romance, Justin Bieber, Five Seconds of Summer, Miley Cyrus, or Imagine Dragons,
I can't stand the word pronunciations of The Black Keys, and the boredom and pronunciations of Ed Sheeran, which I also would not listen to on any occasions.
I hate BTS and their "army", ...

Things I Hate_001 (NaPo #17/30)
I'll never be an empty nester,
I've decided already, when I meet him or her
Or they or xi or it or faer,
I promise that though I'll love and miss any children I may have
(If nothing stops me from the children I want to have),
And they'll be my whole world,
I'll still have my personality to show the world.
I'll have a weekly date night with my future partner
(If I ever decide I want a partner),
And I'll have a weekly or biweekly day to see my friends (even if it's just for a few hours),
I won't lose sight of who I am, not even for a...

Molten (NaPo #16/30)
The ethereal stars of fish and ram
Move though the velvet sky, with their celestial diagram,
Both, ends of the twelve month cycle they are,
Right next to each other, never far.
Moving through the cloak
Of the swirling smoke
Of the Yin-Fire Ox, as she melts the strong, solid, metal of Yang-Metal Tiger,
Melting, and melding the drips together
With the wax from Yin-Fire Ox's candle,
Forming a new being, as forseen by the oracle.
A being of beauty, love, kindness, honesty, bravery, integrity, humility, empathy, creativity, good fortune...

Private (NaPo #15/30)
To love another is one of the greatest joys of life,
But not everyone needs that, to make full, their life.
Loving another is just as important emotionally,
As it is physically
(Though some people don't need that either),
Though love should not be given after taking liquor,
Wouldn't you want to be in full control of your body autonomy?
And wouldn't you want to feel everything properly, and of the events, have a good memory?
If one is drunk, how can they say that it was fully consensual?
Regardless if the connection is spiritual and/or...

Syncope (NaPo #14/30)
Fading out of consciousness
Should be taken with all seriousness,
Especially when it happens multiple times,
Closer to death the person climbs.
For each time one fades out of consciousness other than going to sleep,
They have a chance to make their families weep.
Everytime you loose blood flow to your brain, and with proper upkeep,
Will eventually go to permanent sleep.
Maybe it's good if it's your thing,
They could eventually kill you and everything,
Then they would go to jail for manslaughter,
And then another wife, mother,...

Can't Die? That's a Lie (NaPo #13/30)
A mask of black and red,
Yammering, and blabbering, from his empty head,
(Even before the experiment) an ugly face,
That in me, introduces hatred and malaise,
"Creative" curse words that have nothing to do with plot,
Thinks he's better than everyone else, but he's not.
Arrogant,
Has a "brilliant" comeback to win every argument,
Everything seems to conveniently work out for him,
Survives all the stupid stuff he does on a whim.
With this guy, everything is about sex,
Obviously his mind is not very complex.
Thinks he knows...

The Beautician (NaPo #12/30)
(Before we start, just a little bit
Of gambit)
Glad you were able to make it tonight,
(Well, not like you had any choice, am I right?)
How's your family?
Good, good...did you hear about Gladys' melancholy?
It was all over the news, it was rather gory...
Her "friend" was once again telling her stupid bad beat story,
And she had already had enough, I mean, her long-time boyfriend had just left her for someone else,
This would be the least of her struggles,
And so she grabbed her by the hair,
Dragged her down a dark alleyway (in...
