POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
For the protection of the public, the last guy burned the map.
Oh So Pretty
Her gorgeous thoughts
and pretty mind,
a beautiful psyche
and astonishing vernacular.
The attractive way
she deduces reasoning
and seduces you
with her intelligent wit.
If you can't see
past her lovely face,
peering through
her perfect body,
you will miss out
on all that makes her...
well, indescribable.

Saints and Swearing
I know what love is. It's patient and it's kind. It's cooking 3 meals a day for a grieving army. It's a perfectly timed hug, followed by a homemade cocktail. It's an 8am car ride to a funeral when you got off work at 5am. It's blowing throw a stop sign at a construction site to ensure timeliness to a service. It's 100 man hours crafting the most beautiful box the world has ever known. It's a gentle "it's ok" in a cemetery. It's the pep talk of a lifetime when morale is at its lowest. It is balancing babies and heartache gracefully. It's much needed humor in the midst of despair. ...

meet you there
a mattress on your floor
our chamber
this apartment, our lair
the street corner
our solitaire venture for more
be my Sid, I'll show you Nancy
our bodies thin
our drug seduced delusion, thinner
substance induced love
you whisper vacant and numb
"You're what whisky lives for
and food for the bottle you drink,"
like a strung out Shakespeare
and my kinda fairy tale

Flattered
Break my Holy heart?
Don't flatter yourself!
My heart is made of bone
and even the layman
knows, a bone will not break
In the same place twice.

Incarcerated
You're missing her essence,
immersed in your world,
behind the bars you create.
Nothing is more fascinating
than her face.
Your vices hold nothing to her
sleeping form.
What's more luxurious
than her lust
that you glutinously bypass?
She will leave you.
Dead man walking.
I'm only sorry
that she kept you
on death row
as long as she did.
For your last meal,
eat your heart out.

There is no wrong or ugly,
only your just and beautiful
but limited lens.
You are not broken,
just peering at yourself
through your self-tinted window.
Infinity is a nose length away.
You have everything you've ever needed
buried in a place between your ears.
You have access to an all-knowing/
intelligent energy that calls you by name
but you forward it to a full inbox.
Wake up,
roll over
and see me, loving you.

Bringing Life to Death
You make the world
look better than it is.
Even dying, you make desirable.
Everybody dies,
though, few know true love.
Even fewer know love,
the way I know you.
I won't waste a single breath,
vowing to honor and cherish you,
for something as common as a lifetime.
When your last beat hears mine part,
Finally our final exhale and finest hour.
The dawn of eternal matrimony:
til death do we...
look better than it is.
Even dying, you make desirable.
Everybody dies,
though, few know true love.
Even fewer know love,
the way I know you.
I won't waste a single breath,
vowing to honor and cherish you,
for something as common as a lifetime.

Finally our final exhale and finest hour.

Written for Her
She finds beauty in the underneath.
She’s communion to the already dead.
She’s in-between, hope and “pulled the trigger”.
She is the pardon, without giving a shit why you’re guillotined.
She loves you and she hasn’t met you yet.
She’s the mis-crucified means
to an end you still believe in.
She’s the poison that cures. She’s arsenic.
She’s the angel that thanked you, for ostracizing her.
In the presence of the "the weak", is where she calls home.
She needs death, destruction and desolation because that’s her safe...

Movin' on ain't easy
He likes my cooking
but doesn't have a clue
where I've been.
He loves making love to me
but doesn't know how good I feel,
just being his Thursday, piece of ass.
He treats me with respect
but doesn't know what it's like when
I'm crazy enough about him
to break every last dish in his cupboard.
He says he wants to marry me but
doesn't know the infatuation it takes
to put a baby in me.
He cares about me
but doesn't know the luxury
of me lying...
but doesn't have a clue

everything but....
When you're in pain, I feel my entire being, bleed. When I'm the one who disappoints you, it burns like watching Hitler kiss a German child. You say, you "love me" and I ponder for a brief moment, "I am that important?" When you sleep, I sleep. I have survived The Gauntlet of life, 30 years and as I'm left standing, I have you to show for it. I don't deserve you, darling son. You carry me every day and I only carried you, nine months. You brought me an entire world, just because I brought you into this one. How, with your first breath did you give me something worth living for and...

Exist
No one ever told me that love was less of a fairy tale and more of a constant withdrawal from a substance that spawned what addiction is.
No one ever told me that losing yourself to unnerving obsession was par for the course, till Hell, do us part.
No one ever told me that the world would start to appear terrifying from our lips initial encounter because for the first time, I was made finite.
...but no one ever told me because before you and I, those words merely had not existed.
