POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
My writings are all about real life events ... Like pieces out of my diary ... Has taken me some courage to share but happy I am :)
$ your value my value
I see no fame In fortune
Money a torture
Deprive and dictate
Ones worth in a handshake
Evil conception being corrupt interception
The rapture of being
With the things you own
Doesn't tickle my feathers
It's not in the material I've sewn
Bitter distaste
For ones strength is misplaced
With $ollars spent in haste
Fortune drives a fancy car
Mine not so expensive
But I'm stoked because
My windows are electric
And I can drive the same places as you
My shitty old care keeps the speed limits pace to ...

Alzheimer's dementia .... The mind boggles
She can't lift her head up
It faces the floor
She is dribbling but can't wipe herself any more
Her body is losing it's every ability
Her mind is crying for she can think
But cannot speak
She hears sound surround her
And light flickers and changes
But for her it's all motion
Volumes and danger
She could not protect herself
Not even from a simple fall
She gave everything to her life
All she wants is a a little more
This is not a peaceful ending
No way to go out
She was once so vibrant
Cheerful and loud
Her...

Her eyes ablaze with blood and grey haze,and I'm not sure she hears me any more.
But I lift her hand, I don't understand why she is lying here on the floor.
I hold open her mouth and feel for breath, even though I'm young I fear her death.
I can feel it faint and warm on my hand so I prop her body and put on the fan, she is heavy for me to undress and lift but somehow I manage, so many times I've done this, I smell the odour she has wet through her clothes, I keep on working and ignore my nose.
I dress her and lay so close in bed put my hand on her heart to make sure the beat...

Beats to hide in
A fleeting pleasantness
An organic light
Crowded the spaces
With luminous sight
Shapeless yet radiant
Unrestrained yet reserved
Buoyant and bubbly
With sculptures so curved
Defining the moments
Separating the grief
Obtaining the atmosphere
And the way it's perceived
An inquisitive confessional
Left her flat and dejected
A cynical testament
Left her impulsive
It intercepted
Confusion runs rapid
Inside her mind
She cowers and covers
Til her plight is blind
The contradictions are humours...

Multiple personalities
I think I have multiple personalities
As every emotion washes over me
One minute I'm smiling a million miles away
The next I am crying
There's no words to say
I think I bit the apple of ever changing tides
Cause just one day in my life
is like a fucking roller coaster ride
When I'm right , I'm wrong
When I'm up
something quickly knocks me down a peg or two
And if I look in control
I'm fooling me as much as you
I open my eyes
The days filled with possibilities
But it ends up the same
Exhausted by the ever changing...

Yesterday's fire
The flames flicker and burn
The heat raises and the smoke churns
Then shit goes haywire
And god help us all
For were about to light it up
Only saved by the invisible
Water that falls
Chaos and noise cover my voice
Frozen, standing still
I watch it with my jaw to the ground
In front of me the craziness swallows the normal sounds
I'm just another person in the crowd
I step forward into stance
I'll fight it pound to pound
I'll live it
Give it a chance
I love it
The chaos is familiar to see
I need it
It's...
