POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
A lot of my poetry has to do with alienation, rejection, loneliness, suicide, mercy fucks, shyness and social justice.

Reminiscence
I've chose my battles
I've won my fights
These scars I straddle
Speak of my plight.
Contentment in me
The storms have passed
No more it seems
I'm free at last.
Oh, I've went with strippers
I've laughed with bums
Hobnobbed with rich
Been called a bitch
But would I trade it
Not for a minute
Life lessons learned
Everyone won!
All to find myself
Some lessons learned
But in peacefulness
It's finally earned.
Yes, I've went with strippers
I've laughed with bums ...
I've won my fights
These scars I straddle
Speak of my plight.
Contentment in me
The storms have passed
No more it seems
I'm free at last.
Oh, I've went with strippers
I've laughed with bums
Hobnobbed with rich
Been called a bitch
But would I trade it
Not for a minute
Life lessons learned
Everyone won!
All to find myself
Some lessons learned
But in peacefulness
It's finally earned.
Yes, I've went with strippers
I've laughed with bums ...

Poor Man's Travel
font=Times New Roman]Was at the store today
Picked up some Belgian beer
In Brugge I think I'll stay
When my screen is very near.
Called up my pizza place
Just for the Grecian taste
Stopped by my corner store
Never short of Hellas beer.
YouTube, Google and Wikipedia
Poor man's travel, no need for a Visa
Dreaming of places I've never been
Guess I'll just travel in my mind again.
In my own neighbourhood
There's a great take-a-way
Chinese is really good
In Beijing I'm...

Inadvertently
Dinner parties were held
Family gathered there well
Parents made the home
The center of social life
From miles they'd come
They would always end up there
The root reason?
Son.
His brother's friends
Came there to jam
Sort of like I Am Sam, or Sam I Am
Air band to no end
Got on like mustard on ham
The root reason?
Brother.
Good parents
And good people
Because of family fellowship
And helping others
With jobs.
But alas, what was the root reason?
Son.
...

'Garnet's World '
Smaller is getting by the day, is Garnet's world
Adjusting to the old folks home routine
A life that was well-lived, now in autumn
Smaller is getting by the day, is Garnet's world
That wretched dementia, it caught him
Just so glad he still knows me, when him I see
Smaller is getting by the day, is Garnet's world
Adjusting to the old folks home routine ....

Inevitable
Some people live in gold-plated lobby mansions
Others live in the projects on a pension
Even if you're poor you'll get to die
No matter how rich, you won't get out alive
And no matter our home while living
The Reaper is the gift that keeps on giving
Comes whether you're a saint or sinning
The cycle of life must go on
Helped much by the cycle of death
It is your job while you are here
To find pleasure next time you yawn
We are all dancers and players at the masked ball
Everyone's midnight will come and then we'll...

Helped much by the cycle of death

Validated
It was in summer, I caught your eye
I was in pants and you asked why
You came over and told me your name
And then we suddenly seemed the same
Even though I looked different you said it's cool
For once a girl didn't think me a fool
I must admit, you made me twitterpated
Bust most of all, you left me validated
You brought me to your home and all the freaks were there
I didn't look like them but no one cared
When intimacy was more than physical
Simple human touch and reciprocal
I could not believe the world you showed me ...

Hey You
hey you you said
showed that you cared
and wouldn't mock
me in dispair.
hey you you said
brought me into
your loving home
fine dinner too
And after dinner
Your dad took me aside
And said son, you've done well
Awkwardness and gait aside
I know you'll treat her well!
Are you OK
You kept asking
Reassurance
Of your caring
And after dinner
Your dad took me aside
And said son, you've done well
Awkwardness and gait aside
I know you'll treat her well!
(Treat her...
showed that you cared
and wouldn't mock

'Patient 18'
Patient 18' was his name, or the name they gave
not much else was known about him
or where he went since, it only said 'UCLA'
with the 'year of our Lord 1961'
on the tape.
the pseudonym they gave
to protect his family and identity
when he was just trying to keep his sanity.
'UCLA - Psychiatric and Theater Department', filmed in the new wing
of the University
the year was 1961.
this was a dated video and study
could have been filmed for a bad early seventies suspense movie
but it wasn't. ...

The Easter Bunny
Dressed up in lingerie and lace
Will come to your home.
She will leave in your basket
Wine, chocolate and regret. 😥💔

Bay Days
Bay Days
Bringing out the
Best of community
All ages engaging in fun
So great.
Bay Days
Unity and
Keeping our kids busy
But still within the realm of 'cool'
Off drugs.
Bay Days
Everyone is
On an equal footing
Different types of outdoor sports played
Are fun.
Bay Days
Everyone wins
Disabled and abled
Young and old, all genders come forth
In glee.
Fun is
Universal
Language that is, as here
Something to it, so spiritual
The Law.

The Photo On the Wall
That poor woman', sobs her man of sixty years
Remaining strong, although she cannot breathe
The photos on the wall show past years of cheer
And, what did such a beautiful woman do for such a horrid disease?
Nothing - Life is like that. Random.
For unfortunately both the good AND the bad
But she never complained, or lost her humor
And the young photo on the wall, could've suggested stardom
No one knows, 'tis why so sad
When and how we leave here.
Grasping her few last breaths
In her last few hours of life
For theirs was a...
