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...
What that dust did
I come from the north side
Then I kept that east known
But I been on my big boy
I call the whole city home
I been trying to guide the kids
Trying to call my city home
Used to feel so lonely but
This ain't a thing I did alone
Universe been proud of me
Like, look at what that dust did
I don't know my own worth
Guess I have to trust it
know that it's a process
Trying not to rush steps
Trying to learn about love
I used to think it suspect
I know you know I walked here
I learned how to fly tho
Look up at the...

Illusions
I got my music
And my new chick
I'm in the movement
Not about to lose it
I found some new shit
In my delusions
And all the bruises
From all my choosings
Light up my muses
So imma use them
I see the brew, sip
It's a solution
I stand salute them
Daidreaming nuisance
Don't need a blueprint
Don't feed illusions
The real's illusive
So I feed the truth with
Everything I do since
I washed, and you rinsed
Now we're leaving footprints
And my new chick
I'm in the movement
Not about to lose it
I found some new shit
In my delusions
And all the bruises
From all my choosings
Light up my muses
So imma use them
I see the brew, sip
It's a solution
I stand salute them
Daidreaming nuisance
Don't need a blueprint
Don't feed illusions
The real's illusive
So I feed the truth with
Everything I do since
I washed, and you rinsed
Now we're leaving footprints

New grates
You're gonna feel a way
When the wind whips at you
In the whirlwind of change
And you're loosening and losing all the things that can't stay
And the wind around the bend begins to howl and bay
And everything unbound loses ground dismayed
Here's something not so secret…
You might feel some pain
That's a symptom of your schisms
You should feel each, they
Show what you really care about,
the realist way,
But anything unreal can't be fake,
And sometimes what's been sealed forsaken,
No heal if no break,
No deal but your...

Soy real
Yo era de la calle, bebé
Y te juro que soy real
Pero cuando nomas te pienso
Quiero preguntar a ti que tal
fumando bombas, tomando bien,
las cosas de vivir,
y del amor yo siento más
y me pongo a sufrir,
a ver tu cara
tocar tu piel
o quizás
nomas escuchar tu voz,
a mi no quiero nada más
pero de conocernos dos
Y te juro que soy real
Pero cuando nomas te pienso
Quiero preguntar a ti que tal
fumando bombas, tomando bien,
las cosas de vivir,
y del amor yo siento más
y me pongo a sufrir,
a ver tu cara
tocar tu piel
o quizás
nomas escuchar tu voz,
a mi no quiero nada más
pero de conocernos dos

Vampire
I don't need somebody who just gon say that they would die for me
I just need somebody who pull that trigger baby don't lie to me
I don't need no one to tell me they love me because I desire me
I just need someone who don't turn their eyes up at the sight of the light of me
I don't need the one maybe there's been a dark flock that been eyein me
I just need someone who walks in that darkness with the goal of finding me
I don't need anyone to come and hold me, don't need that nightly thing
I just need someone who maybe just ask me what my all nights...
I just need somebody who pull that trigger baby don't lie to me
I don't need no one to tell me they love me because I desire me
I just need someone who don't turn their eyes up at the sight of the light of me
I don't need the one maybe there's been a dark flock that been eyein me
I just need someone who walks in that darkness with the goal of finding me
I don't need anyone to come and hold me, don't need that nightly thing
I just need someone who maybe just ask me what my all nights...

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...

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
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
