POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Been writing for years on and off. Its great to look back on my old work. Good poetry captures emotion and the moment. Looking back i can read a life story. I am new to reading other poetry, and i am enjoying it thoroughly.
WHEN
When smile replace frowns
when wide bright eyes take the place of drooping dark bags
when skin tightens instead of sags
when teeth stay white unfazed by years of chewing
when hair stays long and never gets tired of growing
when bones stay strong and joints never break down
when youth stays ahead of time

Racist
Young and influential
misplaced hate
it wasn't fate
taught to think that way
Judge and hate
eliminate
demolish them
we create
Prejudice preached and taught
a brain washed mind - owned
though never sold or bought

irritable Bitches
From time to time
there is no reason
just an irritable bitch
not just me, you too
we ask each other why
demand to know whats wrong
but we are reasonless!
We are just irritable bitches
try and reason, find an excuse
we are forced to ride each others roller coasters
ups and downs we hold each other tight
for we are happy people who only become bitches from time to time

Gentle baby
I try not to hurt as I insert
this viscous bone
I feen your moan
recreation not procreation
don't need a clone
smile and be
ill let you see
show you the way
roam and play
trust and believe
no need to grieve
for I am not going anywhere

Not afraid of My own Death
I’m not afraid of my own death
In fact, I welcome it
I taunt it and test the limits of life
Subconsciously I must have a death wish
Consciously I want to stay healthy and live forever
But why than do I do the things i do
I have done a lot of things that physically I should have died from
And since I’m still not home
I continue to confront and to some degree aim toward the timeless eternity where I sooner or later will rest forever

You decide
Fully saturated
Gorged
Over fed
Swollen, beaten, battered, and bruised
Provocative, seductive, slutty, and used
Dripping, puking filled to the top
Twisted, curdled, coagulated, faded
Over worked
Under paid
A fucked up joke they have played
Explosive
Convulsive
Twitching and shaking
The world is mine for the taking
Eyes closed
Silent
Cold and still
Never to rise again
Crouching, crawling, limping, and dragging
A fight to inhale
A bitch to make bail
A struggle to win
When theres so many ways to...

Shes taking a trip
She's taking a trip today
flying across the country
she's gonna be gone for a few days
im gonna miss my girl
she's become my world
she taken a trip today
hope she has a great time
im already awaiting her return
she belongs in my arms
im missing my baby girl
she hasn't even left yet

The sound of silence
The sound of silence
There something about the silence
It really gets to you
It frightens the mind and comforts the body
The hollowness in the air
Leaves room to think about things you never think about
They say too much silence will make a man go made
They also say too much noise will drive a man insane
People just don’t know when there satisfied
There not sure if they have had too much or not enough
By the time they finally find out there dead
This is why mankind cannot get ahead
For every half step we take we get pushed back another
For...

Relapse
I hate the system
Fuck society
Screw sobriety
Relapse
Aka three time loser
Fuckin lies a big discise
A fucked up place when all I know is suddenly nothing
They do their best to mold be
I can’t conform
I hate the system
Fuck society
Screw sobriety
Relapse
Once again im along for the ride

Aged love
Truth be told
Our love has grown old
Yours has aged and died
Mine continues to decay
There still a whole lot to say
If I could find the words and the time
I would write a clever, meaningful rhyme
But my pen is down
My lips are sealed
My time is up
I am a rotting grape
Waiting to fall off the vine
Our love has grown old
Yours has aged and died
Mine continues to decay
There still a whole lot to say
If I could find the words and the time
I would write a clever, meaningful rhyme
But my pen is down
My lips are sealed
My time is up
I am a rotting grape
Waiting to fall off the vine
