POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Pages
My pen bleeds,
And this page catches it's stains.
The stains set in
A dark red color
That my page can't seem
To differentiate
Like my page is color blind
Like it doesn't see
Or doesn't wish to see.
Maybe it fears
The cold, tearing vocabulary
My words demonstrate,
My page has been there before..
Dripping words form
A rain of ideas,
An ocean of thoughts,
My next page can't comprehend.
It isn't able to handle my diction,
My tone,
My emotion,
Too much for one page to handle
For me to handle...
So a third...
And this page catches it's stains.
The stains set in
A dark red color
That my page can't seem

Like my page is color blind
Like it doesn't see

6 Strings
Symbolic things they are
Or appear to be
My six strings
Each of it's own
Character
Individual in it's
Simplicity
My six strings
String E
Everybody loves it
A beautiful sound
Deceptive sound
Made from echos
You can't quite escape
My E string
Irresistible
String A
Accurate and accepted
Widely renowned
Sounding peace
Through its vibe
And different perspectives
My A string
Glorified
String D
Dampened but powered
By a misconceived sound
Misunderstood sound
Quite chilling...

Eyes Closed
I try to keep my eyes open
But stress
makes them heavy
The stress of life,
Of love,
Of education,
Pulls them down
Slowly but surely,
And my eyes will close
They will close.
But when?
There's no warning
Nothing to let me know
But the heaviness.
A beautifully distraught life
That brings me down
With every aspect
Of live through scrutiny
But the eyes I see through
Though saturated,
And highly exposed,
Give me a peculiar
And glorified vision
Of what I live in.
The life I invented...

Pulls them down
Slowly but surely,
And my eyes will close

Give me a peculiar

The Love is Here
The love is here
But where are you?
I want you
Need you
But you're nowhere
To be found
I only see you
In the depths of
My dreams
I need to find you
So the love I have for you
Can exist
I want it to exist.
My heart cries out
When you touch it
Come back to it
Hear it's cries
Once more
You have to be close
I can feel you
Sense you..
Your heart beats
The same as mine does.
I close my eyes
And think of you
Hoping you will
Soon be there
Just call my name
Shout to my...

Writers Block
I have a feeling
Of disregard
That there's nothing to say,
No thoughts to think,
Emptiness through my mind.
What I feel doesn't exist.
And my lines are drained.
Power in my words
Have died off
Nothing clever to write
No metaphors,
No similes
No rhythm
Just words on a page.
Practically blank
With these lifeless words
On this empty page.
I could give them life
With some form of expression
That could bless me
with thought
But that's the point..
I can't give my words thought
Because,...

Mind And Heart
My mind and heart tend to clash sometimes
Like a shooting star and distinct planet
My mind keeps quiet like the silent mime
My heart makes moves taking none for granted
My mind cracks ideas through thoughts and logic
My heart is reckless and goes by instinct
My mind only sees through common knowledge
My heart takes chances with no thoughts to think
My mind breaks down by the slightest of thoughts
My heart keeps cool like there's nothing to lose
My mind bleeds words it could never be taught
My heart takes the bad and makes it good news
...

Deep Sea Love
You and me
Under the sea
Like deep sea divers
Submarine drivers
Eyeballing fishes that pass by
Like plane flyers
Observe underwater life..
Happy at last..
We'll be here forever
Always together
Roaming coral reefs
Exploring the sea
Under water beast
Would love to meet
And greet us...
Grace our presence...
The sharks find us
And they seem to mind us
We hide and we lurk
Because sharks can hurt
Pray they stop their search
Because it's hard to work
The inevitable sea...
How will we escape?

Grass Is Greener
I've been there once
But only once
It was a meeting of the minds
A cleansing of the soul
Rebirth of the heart
I remember this place
Like it was yesterday...
such fond memories
and such great times
burn my emotion
like matches
never dying out...
i would call this place utopia
but to bad utopia dosent exist...
i wish i could find it
just once
but looking is inevitable...
so my search is complete
and my flashlights laid down
so tonight i rest
wondering about
such a place
But only once
It was a meeting of the minds
A cleansing of the soul
Rebirth of the heart
I remember this place
Like it was yesterday...
such fond memories
and such great times
burn my emotion
like matches
never dying out...

but to bad utopia dosent exist...

just once
but looking is inevitable...

and my flashlights laid down

Call It Schizophrenic
My way of life
And your way of life
Are two different ways
Of living.
Where my dreams
Are reality
And yours
are solely nonfiction,
Imagination forms a line
That borders this idea
My state of mind
And your state of mind
Are two different states
Off mind.
Things I think of
Appear right before my eyes
But only my eyes
For some reason.
Your mind won't allow you
To see them
The things I see
And the things you see
Are two different versions
Of the same thing.
To you, a trash can
Is merely...

You Were Gone
You stayed for some time
To comfort my being,
To make me feel at home,
To silence the voice
Of loneliness,
And to kill the pain
Of incredulity
I enjoyed your company
It helped to fill
The void between
Humanity, sanity, and I.
But then you were gone
And broke the walls of
My existence once again
Your leave was unbearable
You took away
My very life and soul
When you left.
My thoughts returned
To that same
Cloudy state.
Together,
We rebuilt the bridge
Of trust. ...

Then There Where Two
I was alone.
And desperation had
Taken over my meaning of existence.
That is until you showed up
To brighten my days,
Exile my loneliness,
And light my foreboding
Path
Were hate and pain
Had taken over,
You came along
And wiped it away
So swiftly and
With such ease
That It seemed like
These things never existed
Somehow,
Youfound a way
To abolish my insanity.
To lock it away in
It's own ominous tomb
To were it could Never
Or possibly ever
Be reborn
No longer am I left
To guard...
