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.
Bank Tower
A sunny Southern day,
Where will I stay today?
As a child, no love was my friend,
I'll climb the tower,
A game of target, I'll pretend,
And here comes the car,
I owe this to you, Mother,
And, you left me on the streets,
When I didn't have anything to eat.
Tension is heating up,
And, I'm almost at the top,
Six shells, a rifle and a scope,
Being loosened, and lowered,
By a rusty rope.
Where do I turn to now?
The shelters, where are they?
Beg for a meal, I wouldn't know how,
So I'll make the front page news,
I'll...

Sad Man Epitaph
He didn't bode any broads in his life,
Nor lived up to his full capacity,
A sad man, plagued by sore oneitises,
And his crushes, never reciprocate,
His social disability blocking,
Him being in the driver's seat of life,
He was a kind man, but sometimes the fool,
Too generous, was not always welcome,
And he died alone, with no next of kin,
No woman to call his own, lonely life.
Oh! But he wanted to be accepted,
But sometimes they just laughed, and mocked his gait,
He took it upon himself, all the blame,
For his not fitting...

Commuter Man
Seven in the morning
And he walks
To the bus stop
To his government job, he's going.
To feed his family
And he holds
His briefcase and his suit is fold
To earn a salary.
Chorus/Bridge -
In the ranks of a thousand
especial people
make sure things run smoothly
and that the life quality
across the world, is envied.
Living in Orleans
Where homes are extra large
A big back yard
And two cars
In the garage
Cottage a reward ...
And he walks
To the bus stop
To his government job, he's going.
To feed his family
And he holds
His briefcase and his suit is fold
To earn a salary.

Why don't we both get naked?
And spread our legs on the couch
In spring we are both twitterpated
You don't mind my hunchback, my slouch.
In fact you find it sexy,
You have a disability fetish,
And now we're both naked and horny,
You don't care about my blemish.
Just like, I like your eyes,
And your loose-muscled body,
Stroke my pelvis, take me by surprise,
You don't care about my involuntary celibacy.
In fact you want to take it,
And you will be my first,
Making a duck face, your lips so pouty,
Remove...

Trials of Love and Lust
Venus, Mars and Moon, trouble in romance,
Pluto signifies trouble with Femmes,
Aquarius in partnerships - no chance,
And Hades Moon power struggles with them,
And Neptune making sure, fantasy comes,
Reigning supreme in sex just fantasy,
Tortured by all the proud social memes,
Only in fantasy have I ecstasy,
Afflicted Venus, affected socially!
Square the moon, seen as an eccentric,
Thanks to Moon in Aquarius, shyly!
More platonic and less electric,
Idealizing love, so unhealthy,
Neptune in fantasy, so not wealthy!

I walk inside for dinner,
I survey the scene,
Then out comes the most beautiful creature,
That my eyes have ever seen.
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo,
Ooo, yea, yea, yea,
Two people brought together by the hand of fate,
And in the heat of spring, they mate,
The Scorpion and the bull unite,
Two souls bound by fate together forever,
Living on in the night!
She offers me her body,
She says to me, 'Do not be afraid,'
Then she whispers, 'I know you like me,'
As we walk over to the bed she made.
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo,
Ooo,...

Ottawa - Where Have You Been All My Life?
Shall I start with the long anxiety?
Thou now is gone, leaving me to explore,
So many restaurants, love in the city,
And fine museums, fear haunting me, no more!
Toured parliament, smart and funky shops,
East Indian buffet, I often tip,
And a huge bookstore, shopping 'till I drop,
By chance, in Starbucks, on Mocha I sip!
But each trip there, starting off from the last,
Nor shall anxiety again plague me,
Nor shall I tire of life, die is cast,
When eating foods of all ethnicity.
So long as Ottawa is there to see, ...

Shall she buy that love-shy guy a spirit?
Thou art so timid as he sits alone,
Never had a woman, she may be it,
And in his mind, he is suicide prone.
Down in his pants she sees a tent pitching,
And she now goes over to approach him,
And in the room everyone be watching,
So shocked, a woman going approaching him.
But he clams up and acting so love-shy,
Nor can he read interest indicators,
She is perplexed at him and wonders why,
When a union is lost, then forever.
So long as there is sexy bold women,
So...

Gidget
A large part of,
Her forehead missing,
And just two weeks ago,
They were kissing.
Paralyzed from the neck down,
And he never gave her mercy,
His energy is dark,
Now she's a sideshow clown,
And her mother loses count of her surgeries.
Gazing and looking at,
Her deformed head,
Her son growing up
and wondering,
Why is it shaped like that?
And why didn't they just leave her for dead?
But the deepest part of the tragedy,
Wasn't on the screen that day, what you didn't see,
How does she piss?
And how many pillows...
