POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
In a half dead state, maybe comatose, I sorta chose this type of life over an overdose, and notice ghosts of a past that almost no one knows, except for maybe through a poets prose...
The princess and the fool
These rocks are smooth
He recognized their every single move
The path he’s treading after
Filled with laughter
Nothing new
Insists it’s just a casual
Less than average afternoon
No trouble with his words
since he cast them at the moon
Completing lists of things
he’s been procrastinating…
Soon
But he’s smitten
And he’s with it
Always traveling toward
His doom
Her clocks...

And he’s with it
Always traveling toward

Oceans
I never said my love was all that
Just all that I had knew
And if I fall again, I'd be a better man
And probably point that fall toward you
So let me feel all that I feel
And you can feel how you will
Cause though I want you next to me I know that can't be real
You've got my words flowing
So I jot them all down
But my emotions are oceans
For you how could I not drown
I don't expect you to believe
Every drop in my sea
In fact I think it'll leave you salty
Like, "Why'd you pour this for me?"

Sad
Yes, I'll be sad
When it's all said and done
When the feelings stay stirring
But the words have been spun
When I've said everything but the thing on the tip of my tongue
And I leave you back to the one who's the one
And yeah, I'll be hurt
But I won't let it show
After all I'm the fool
Who thought those thinks all alone
And I've never been one
To hold back what I know
And all I know is thoughts of you
Simply glow
And yes I'm embarrassed
I'm kinda selfish, a dick
To paint you my feelings
On a...

I've seen you
I've seen you
Before
in the times
They tell as lore
We gathered crystals in the mists
To the rumble of dragons roars,
We've danced in ballrooms stolen
from Emirs, Czars, and Kings,
We were even peasants once
Real gritty ones too
And turned our noses up at gold things
Timeless in a lovely little forest
Filled with spiders web and gloom
I wrote you spells and incantations
And you sang them to the moon
Another moonless night
we both were thieves
In an Arabian cave
We were caught but we fought
And...

That book
An I ain't even like that book
Fuck that cover, that first page
Fuck that line that pulled me in
Made me grin and made me stay
Fuck that storyline
The one that weirdly mirrored mine
Fuck them words that made me
Want to hold it by the spine
And read, and read, and read
And trace my fingers across my favorite lines
Made me think of new things,
Countless times, and question myself
And made me never want to
Put it back on the shelf
Fuck feeling heaven in all the pages that I snagged for my wealth
A differently described...

Lips and curves
Lips and curls and curves
and nose and clothes and smile
making me think them thinks again
the kind I ain't thought in a while
hands and nails and wrists and
ankles, feets, and legs
and things that I won't ask about
because I'd probably beg
forehead, face, and eyes that shine
shoulders, neck, and arms
picture perfect inside my mind
you and all your charms
mind and spirit, aura too
your vibes and all you say
out of respect we'll never connect
so in my heart you'll stay
and nose and clothes and smile

Young one
Everyone's a person
Young one
Everybody feels
Each of them breathe
In and out
All of them are real
They might not be
Who they say they are
But who they are
Shines through
I know sometimes people
Don't do as they say
But sometimes
Young one...
They do
Young one
Everybody feels
Each of them breathe
In and out
All of them are real
They might not be
Who they say they are
But who they are
Shines through
I know sometimes people
Don't do as they say
But sometimes
Young one...
They do

Daisha vu
I had a feeling I would love you
Call it deja vu
But I never knew
That the little feeling
would ever feel this way
Never loved like this before
Call it vuja de
Call it deja vu
But I never knew
That the little feeling
would ever feel this way
Never loved like this before

Thinking
Lemmie know that your thinking of me
Trying to figure out what I'm thinking of and
Baby I'm not thinking love
So maybe I'm not the one you might think I was but
I'm dumb with thinking stuff
All I really know's we on the brink of us my
Heartbeat keeps leaping up
Forcing all these words up out my gut why
Is all I speak is trust you
Find me and you find frequent hugs
No way I could ever need enough
You filling up my plate and I can't eat enough so
No need to rush
Loving til all that's left of me is dust know
You and me's a...

Inventions
Playing with my heart like a tinker toy
Putting shit together pull apart destroy
You're showing me your plan and your grand design
And damn you're fine
But everything out your mouth is a damnded lie
Look ma'am you tried
But it's like I'm fighting every plan that you can devise
An I brought you a bottle of coke you went and called it two cans of sprite
And when you call me you just fantasize
Thinking I'm the man you like
When in the night you treat me dirtier than the pans of life
Showing me emotions that you brand new made
Making up...

Half Hearted
I got a half-hearted poem in my full little heart
I’ve never been a half ass, so I’ll be damned if I’mma start
Half a love, half a fling, I’m never half of anything
I’ll try and write a whole song off half that melody you sing
Half an ear when you hear me, half the words that I just said
Half a home that I’ll come back to after full days getting bread
Half my time that you’ll savor, the other half I’ll spend sad
Half the time thinking its my fault, my problem,
damn I’m sorry, my bad…
I think I started this too quickly, these words were all I had, ...
