POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Mutter
Conditional love
That's what settles the fear
Deep in my gut
Here
Since you birthed me mother
Such hate exists
Deep in you
But it is I
The viper
The serpent
Who learned to live without love
Knowing it was to be snatched away
At the sign of any mistake
And if you truly believe
I am a bad person
Then look in the mirror
At her creator
That's what settles the fear
Deep in my gut
Here
Since you birthed me mother
Such hate exists
Deep in you
But it is I
The viper
The serpent
Who learned to live without love
Knowing it was to be snatched away
At the sign of any mistake
And if you truly believe
I am a bad person
Then look in the mirror
At her creator

Leaving.
It's not that you would bleed for me
Sell your soul for me
I mean
You would give up every moral for me
Twist your view
So you can hold onto me
No
You know
Id bleed you dry
I'd take every offering
Spill it on a lie
Till all that's left us an empty hide
Nothing left to give
...Years spent since you died
No
I won't suck the life out of you
I'm leaving
It's not bitterness
It's a sacrifice
So I don't regret what I did to you.

Little G.
I love the child in your laugh
How security around me has fallen a bit lax
I love how you explain things
Even when you're tired you write a song and try to sing
Perhaps it is the guarded past
Matching mine with a twisted path
Cause you did it all by yourself
No help
There was just you
Nobody else
And as much as you like to credit her
For becoming someone you think is better
You've settled as badly as I have
Loving someone you can never truly have
And I'm sorry the mirror looks so damn black ...

Always Believe the Man.
He played the a soulful piano
Every song about her
His sorrow came through and its sympathy he incurred
He spoke of a heartless woman
Then of a goddess in human
His heartbreak spoke louder
Than any truth that might imbue him
So one day all the villagers
Led by the women who felt his plight
All gathered under the street lights
To meet at her house round midnight
They dragged her whore ass out
Right into the street
Stripped her naked and staked her to a pole like so much meat
After taking turns plunging then...

Willing Blood Under My Nails
You take to heart what I say
Listen so my malice doesn't go astray
When you come out to play
It is because Innocence is shed
You want to stay
You want to be there
You want to see
What is me
Us
Want to share in what we ran from entirely
With us there is a chance for a new life
New urpise for you to find new light
So tonight when you see me in my pretty dress
Dont say I held your love under duress
When you lean in to kiss my ruby red lips
Do not feign that my beauty was a trick
Know that the...

Untainted Love
I saw my love in a cup...
Such a small limited space
The more I gave
The less I had to give
Can you imagine?
Feeling the pain I do
Even as I empty
What has been given
I find there is a glimmer
But I have to ignite
To grow
More of what
You wished I had left of me
I do not know the recipe
I am alone
... Yes, alone
Even if I found you
My true love
Would I recognize myself
Reflected in your eyes?

American Ignorance
How can you call em spicks
Mexican illegal pieces of shit
While you NAFTA 75 percent
Of what was previously an eleven split
Now more die of obesity
While you claim judicial amnesty
Treat them like pariah seeds
If the cross our borders
Blame their brown greed
The US takes more than they give
If they ask you to trade
Your third status makes it easy to invade
Soon your health will look just like ours
We dont export our slaves
We keep them in financial bars
Take their country

A little brown
Ready
To get the fuck down
And if you down
Depressed
Not allowed
To get some sleep
Just seep
Some smoke
Take it in deep
And if you in pain
Toke all damn day
It really does plague this man
To think
Alcohol federal
But not ol cush
Taming what they say ain't tameable
Shiiit
Save your lies
For those fifties kinda guys
Scared of what lies
Beyond their ignorant cries
Ill be with my old young

Teaching a Monster... Like Me
God
He loves you
I envy
As I cannot see you
Most say You are dumb
Gullible
To succomb
But You answer to a higher calling
I cannot reach You
Cannot help but falling
Cannot help but be true
Cause a real woman you are
Loyal
Real until the end
A woman I can love
Still call a friend
I wish for your strength
I wish for your love
I am unworthy
Please gift me
Patience from above
And when you leave
Wings full and worthy
I pray you forgive me
A human...

Houdini
Belief
Is a reach
For those who seek
Disappointment
Follows
When magic is meek
But magic
Is all around
I feel it
Dream it
The crowd oversees it
If only I can see it
I'll bust anyone
Faking and calling claim
With skepticism
To see truth versus game
I want the other side to be real
Here
A message I leave to reveal
All I try in the after life to conceal
I have yet found one of you to be real
Magic
I seek it with childish mirth...

The Art of Worrying.
I feared the fire so I lit my body red
I sat there and let it burn toe to head
I realized I had looked for the match
Perhaps I could have avoided the mishap
But the possibility just wouldn't leave me alone
If I was to burn why do it tomorrow
I held a letter as I realized I was alive
The signature at the bottom demanding that I die
By the time I woke and charred my flesh beyond repair
Too late was it to get back the time before the flare
I looked for the accelerant
I sought that which...

Hidden Figures
Lonely angel
Wings spanning over the city
As she watches alone
Atop her dark perch
Mothers children are protected
By those invisible to the eye
Signs given at breaking points
Warmth where there's no light
Lonely angel
Wings invisible to the naked eye
Dont cry in your solace
Or resign to purgatorys lie
For father has left
Though he flows through your veins
All the others have rebelled
The only ones left are those who stayed
Humans disappoint
It is the only...
