POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write about issues that concern me and I think that is why my works are so emotional. In high school I entered and was published in three anthologies. I love when my poems can ignite conversations and others to want to write as well.

These concentration camps takin’ lives
Before they even begin/
Young kids cryin’
Not asking for anything but liveable conditions/
While you just smile and turn a blind eye
Watching innocent people die/
Do you even realize you’re responsible for murder/?
No, probably not,
Too busy invading...

Sorry, I Can't Lie 2
Sorry, we can’t lie,
But the pain is just too fresh
In our minds/
When everyday it seems
Another sister or mother disappears or dies/
Now I ain’t saying
Its tied to the sins of old,
But the numbers take a toll
When all we’re told is
“We’re doing our bestest/”
But is it your best,
Or just comparable to the rest/?
Because what the statistics suggests
Is a raging virus racing
To capture and eliminate our women and girls/
Hurl us back to uncertainty
Without a sense of security/
I just want my...

Freefall
This I write to you, to you
whom i was not in search of.
not in search of, but found in
a place so unlikely some would
make mockery of online world
but which we connected.
Fearless and breathless/ thoughtless
we descended into blissful freefall
laughing, cheering
in love we were diving.
Morning texts, night time sexts,
"I love you's" vexed feelings of loneliness,
vexes feelings of loneliness replaced
with complete admiration and completion
at the taste of your kiss I am
brightened in mood,
lost in eyes...
whom i was not in search of.
not in search of, but found in
a place so unlikely some would

Fearless and breathless/ thoughtless

at the taste of your kiss I am

Shadows
From the woods of quiet independence -
on the corner of awkwardness and self-appointed solidarity
a wolf without a pack emerges.
Guided by a golden heart
ablaze with flame insatiable
tiptoeing ever so careful until
the sun's light blinds
adjusting eyes
searching for what lies ahead
in the clearing's field.
Darwn like a portal over
bridges in Porto
he crests the precipice -
the first step taken
timid yet effortless
with butterflies fluttering
in stomach he feels the
protection of the shadows...
on the corner of awkwardness and self-appointed solidarity
a wolf without a pack emerges.
Guided by a golden heart
ablaze with flame insatiable
tiptoeing ever so careful until
the sun's light blinds
adjusting eyes
searching for what lies ahead
in the clearing's field.
Darwn like a portal over
bridges in Porto
he crests the precipice -
the first step taken
timid yet effortless
with butterflies fluttering
in stomach he feels the
protection of the shadows...

inter-VENT-ion
search light in the park at night
news glorifying dog fights
no sight of double-edge life
drowning in strife, no wife
smiling in a bed alone
cold shivers, lies I told fuck
lives yee saves, graves thou doth made
into the ocean they wade
due been repaid ten times hence
break a jaw in self defense
love me or hate me or stand
on the fence, band together
banish me forever from
the graces of disbelievers
thou dos insist I grieve her
or severe the head of your
"holy" fictitious homestead ...

Deity
Here it is, the day you thought would never come but a year ago. Enveloped by the clutches of addiction - compliant to every demand and role. On your knees, struggling to breathe, you fought to shatter its control. Ascending the mountain of heroin to discover the heroine within. Each day a step toward mending fences born in scorched earth. Each stumble and fall a reminder of life's precious worth. Though this is a mountain with no summit, you are standing tall, never again will you submit to that tainted call.
As I watch you lying next to me resting peacefully - Sleeping Beauty....

At The Edge
Sitting alone up in my room
As darkness descends but it’s mid-day/
Feeling useless and powerless consumed by these demons
Thinkin’ death is the only means
To an exorcism/
Because I’m fucking sick of this racism
And the mental health system
Is a joke in this province/
Not the kind that’s light-hearted and funny
It’s the kind that’ll take a life in a hurry/
Its got my mind in a furry
As my vision goes blurry
From the pills I popped/
The pain in my wrists I can’t resist
Like Slim Shady I get such a rush ...
As darkness descends but it’s mid-day/
Feeling useless and powerless consumed by these demons
Thinkin’ death is the only means
To an exorcism/
Because I’m fucking sick of this racism
And the mental health system
Is a joke in this province/
Not the kind that’s light-hearted and funny
It’s the kind that’ll take a life in a hurry/

Hi-Stories
Hi-stories kept and lost by moon and sun
the quiet of nature's calming magic tones.
vibrations and pulses,
spirits and voices.
residual rejuvination. this a process of time long elapsed yet relapsing through the night
in the silence of dark-lit light I feel their suffered plight.
Hi-stories carved upon outside stone recorded on un-playbale tape. a theory just, but a theory proven many times more than lust.
with eyes closed, thy heart open listening close to those.

Broncos Strong
Skates on ice furious and fast
Playing with the spirit of their crest
Wild and free - sixty-minute games
Young guns light the lamp.
Fans in stands six thousand strong
Cheering, roaring
Uniting with stampede thunder.
Young adults and teenagers
Sixteen to twenty-one
Playing Canada's game
Living the dream having fun.
A blink of eye everything stands still
The world feels a numbing chill.
But even though fifteen
Humboldt Broncos
Will never take the ice,
They continue to play in Heaven's rink. ...

"Pride & Guilt"
PRIDE
Head held high when all others ostrasize and criticize. Shadows shade scandals of success. Head held high when pride shines through illuminating dark depressed demons. Destroying esteem and confidence bringing death to tenacious traditional traits taught through teachings in nurturing nature. Nowhere near modern malevolent mead-masked murderers.
GUILT
Regret regressing remembered wrong-doings. Deplorable degradationes dependent on hellacious hallucinations of faith. Regret re-writing remembered tragedies. Fighting fantastical feigned foes conjuring Christian...

Por Siempre, Mi Amore
A smile of a thousand lanterns burning
A heart of Egyptian gold in eyes dance
The cloudiest of days by you turning
A dangerous past, wild heart, take a chance
Demons excorized now you stand anew
Wearing your scars, no secrets to be kept
Sober and clean the lover I once knew
Thy heart and desire distance fades not slept
Some time long before we fought in this war
The battle then like a spark lost in air
Years past and now in present we thirst for more
Stronger built, better thou shall fair
Faith, trust tearing strings from...
