POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
A poet by nature, a stargazer at night.
Why Do I Love Her?
Why do I love her?
Why do I love her? I don't know
We're nothing alike, should that matter?
Opposites attract I've heard them say
Can we do what couldn't be done?
She likes to bathe, I like to shower
She likes hot water, I like it warm
She uses body wash, I use soap
We often take our baths together
She likes pasta, I like a burger
She likes salad, I like soup
She eats slow, I eat fast
We love to go out to dinner
She sleeps early, I stay up late
She rises early, I like to nap
She likes the day,...

All Good Deeds
Authors notes: This is an old story I've heard sometime ago and I wish to share it with you.
All good deeds...
A long time ago in a land far away there used to be a man, a very poor man. He was so poor that at times he didn't even have anything to eat for days and days. But he was a good man, a kind man but more importantly an honest man who didn't harm or bore any ill will to anyone.
One day he was walking in the market place trying to find work or something to eat. Suddenly he stumbled upon a little blue sack that was discarded on the side of...

Back to the Beginning
It is back
The dreaded day
When you
have to pay
your way
into the sack
It is strange
For at night
You think
You’ve seen the light
The next
Your are back
To the beginning
You have already
lost from the start
When you first said
Till death do us part
A sinkhole
Forever black
They call it V-Day
A victory dance
As if you’ve ever
had the chance
to surrender
Or go back
To the beginning
The dreaded day
When you
have to pay
your way
into the sack
It is strange
For at night
You think
You’ve seen the light
The next
Your are back
To the beginning
You have already
lost from the start
When you first said
Till death do us part
A sinkhole
Forever black
They call it V-Day
A victory dance
As if you’ve ever
had the chance
to surrender
Or go back
To the beginning

We Tried
I knew she knew the hurt I felt
It broke my heart the day she left
We tried to mend our lives we spent
And tried to saw the fields we grow
Alas we failed our hearts betrayed
By love and hate we recently made
I thought we had a wonderful life
Time spent so sad as husband and wife
We could have made the world go round
Instead we laid the ground to waist
In our haste we broke the trust
That bound two lovers to sand and dust
I think we knew our lives were lost
The times we grew to hide our lust
As days went by our...

Death
I ran.
Hiding between the sheets.
Between shadows of light,
of words,
of hope,
of fear.
I prayed.
There is no where to run.
There is no where to go.
Not under my Sun.
He finally said.
Let me be.
Let me stay.
For one more day.
Pleeeease.
I cried.
There is no escape.
Not from me.
No place to be,
that I do not see
Can’t you see?
Can’t you hear?
cries of my children,
wails of women,
lies of men so dear?
A sound I heard
time and time...
Hiding between the sheets.
Between shadows of light,
of words,
of hope,
of fear.
I prayed.
There is no where to run.
There is no where to go.
Not under my Sun.
He finally said.
Let me be.
Let me stay.
For one more day.
Pleeeease.
I cried.
There is no escape.
Not from me.
No place to be,
that I do not see
Can’t you see?
Can’t you hear?
cries of my children,
wails of women,
lies of men so dear?
A sound I heard
time and time...
