POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Leash
The snows never been so white
And what I feel has never been so real
I used to have to close my eyes because it was too bright
But now I look on fine
Like after eating a light meal
I can't stop hearing that ticking from
The dining rooms clock
And I sure as hell can't turn time back
Yet still somehow my mind does that
On the dining room table the cat
Sleeps
Astral projects
In the warm heat
That rises
From the white vent
And in the trees
He surely plays with the birds
In the snow covered branches
Because even these blue...

Int. his mind as it projects his reality based on every thought colliding
Man
Smoking a ciggarette
Knows he needs help
As menthol smoke soothes his throat
Secretly smoking
Outside his parents house
Worrying little bout the neighbors
Then something slides
Off the red tin roof
From above a low flying bird
Will see a sheet of ice just miss him
The ice sheet shatters then into countless pieces at this mans feet
His eyes should get so wide as he jumps aside
And with his heart beating fast
He'll toss his cigg in the grass
And breath a sigh of relief
...

Friends
I'm happy with where we are
But mentally we've both been scarred
And even though sometimes it feels
Like what we have is falling apart
All i do is mentally press restart
Then I love who you are again
Because your my best friend
And the only one
Who gets me
Although
"I dont know"
sometimes
I feel like your lying
And even though deep down I know your trying
I can stand the bones in the closet rattling any longer!
In the past nothing kept me from crying
But mentally we've both been scarred
And even though sometimes it feels
Like what we have is falling apart
All i do is mentally press restart
Then I love who you are again
Because your my best friend
And the only one
Who gets me
Although
"I dont know"
sometimes
I feel like your lying
And even though deep down I know your trying
I can stand the bones in the closet rattling any longer!
In the past nothing kept me from crying

cant <---
i cant believe you packed up all your things
at least return my grandmother's ring
i laid awake until'bout five this mornin
falling asleep to the sound of birds singin
can't stop reflecting on what we did
i'm sorry i wished you were dead
it seems so suddenly we reached our end
but it was destined like ink running out of a pen
at least return my grandmother's ring
i laid awake until'bout five this mornin
falling asleep to the sound of birds singin
can't stop reflecting on what we did
i'm sorry i wished you were dead
it seems so suddenly we reached our end
but it was destined like ink running out of a pen

ill move you
Get cross with you,
Work you,
Anything babe but tell you I love you
It's just too soon for that
So sorry if i made you feel bad
But at least I'm being honest
I'm just trying my best
To live on my own
Without my parents
The moon
Is red
And I need to run
Below the bridge
To dance
And think of you like you were never his
Get cross with you,
Work you,
Anything babe but tell you I love you
It's just too soon for that
So sorry if i made you feel bad
But at least I'm being honest
I'm just trying my best
To live on my own
Without my parents
The moon
Is red
And I need to run
Below the bridge
To dance
And think of you like you were never his

Rough Lyrics for a friend
Tree leaves
Hang from branches
wind moves them
like being tickled
I'm walking slowly
Through a forest
Thinking of those
I hold dearest
The birds are
Singing
The fish are
Swimming
And deer are
Running
From hunters
Shooting
While I'm just
Trying
To take
Everything
Around me in
Listening
To shots ring
Out in the distance
Now I'm looking
At the veins in my wrist
And the 18 mile creek just
Flows
Like it always does
Until the winter comes
And...
Hang from branches

While I'm just
Trying
To take
Everything
Around me in
Listening
To shots ring

Now I'm looking
At the veins in my wrist

Flows
Like it always does
Until the winter comes

i wont name this
this pain in my pinky needs to end
i try to pretend it is my close friend
in effort to make it a pleasant sensation
but this pain just returns, again and again
the well's gone dry, for the time being
until some rain comes to feed our stream
a build up of thoughts causes a down pour
but some of the best writing comes in a storm
this tongue of mine is feeling so dry
perhaps it relates to my recent stint crying
this skin of mine is covered in oil and looks pale ...

I remember her hips resting on mine
just long enough to leave a fossil in time
its buried deep in my brain, resurrected by my mind
try to make a plaster cast of that
you'll only loose the details

I couldn't stay for more than a few minutes in that bar
The stools are falling apart, and so are their regulars
I feel bad for them(i really do), because they seem so lonely
They just want someone to talk to, thats usually what I say
Whenever someone complains to me of those "alcoholics"
But now that I think on it
Almost always when I have talked to a regular
They seem turned off when the conversation
Isn't about them
I know this because they look away
And sometimes even walk away to some other person
Then I wonder if I'm really that...

I just need a moment
To collect my thoughts
Scattered on the floor
Like pieces of string
tied in knots
I really wish you'd call me
I didn't give you my number
Just so you could stare at it
And it really hurts my feelings
I don't care
If I don't seem like a man
For sharing
That I'm feeling
Lets get real
The only difference is
Our body parts
It's not hard science
It's not some art
I got some money
And if you want me to
I'll give it to you
Just because
I know your running low on gas...

The grass growed green even after bein stepped on
My skin baked in the light of the morning sun
She wore a red hat and carried a gun
Strapped to her belt in case she had to use it for somethin
Elizabeth
Your breath smells like meth
And I fear your only days away from death
Elizabeth
Please come with me
Your health's long gone
Everyone can see
She called out to me and said she would shoot
If I didn't give her double what she said was her cut
I decided I had more...

Think air, think.
You looked at me and lied, but at least I know we tried.
And as we said our last goodbye, I hoped you saw my better side.
Not symbolically, literally- physically-.
I think my face looks best when viewed from my left.
And later as I drank a beer with friends we sat and talked as I slowly disappeared.
Talking about the past and future- as in that moment- we were one- like air.
That night
I dreamt
Grandma fell down a flight of stairs
And her bone broke skin
Snapped like wood
On the leg of her old kitchen chair
