POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
a town in america
the summer came and soon left
the winter this year made a theft
the deer followed the river bed
leading to warm air up ahead
the people all lived just the same
their fireplaces had fake flames
their walls had paintings with golden frames
accentuating their self esteems
the children played out in the snow
the weather aint like years ago
the oceans beds have overflowed
but the news don't cover it so no one knows
the sun burned down hotter and hotter
the snow at night melted into water ...

tarot reading
some tarot cards told me its time to move on
least that's how i interpreted their omen
first card was an upside down hang man
second a magician, telling me new love was coming
...I been looking, waiting, waiting
third was the hierophant, who said I need an adviser
a friend, or teacher, or father, or mother, or brother, or sister
..basically someone I trust
talked to all of them, I forget what we discussed
fourth pulled was a wheel of fortune
said my so called run of good luck was my fate/destiny
but I don't take favors from no one ...

like a cat that kneads
i need your smile like Egyptians
need the Nile to cleanse their grounds
i need that look(in your eyes) like a fish needs
that worm, on a hook, and no matter how many hundreds
of times it falls for it that never gets old
kinda like how a moist wall always grows mold
i need your touch like a baby needs milk
babe your hair feels softer than silk
i need your voice like a fruit gives juice
when i bite its so refreshing and nice
and i doubt it'll ever get old
like how people always fight over gold
i need your thoughts...

lame-guage
we're the same you and I
a soul lives beneath our eyes
a soul of timeless age
but I don't know your language
i know we both just want to talk
you played me music(I played you Bach)
to cover the damage
caused by language
i think its good that we crossed paths
if we meet again we'll talk with math
scrambled letters and decimal numbers on a page
make more sense than the sounds of language
I hope we meet again some day
on a playground where we play
and talk/joke with mental images
instead...

ehhhhh
memories come and go like black flies
living for 3 weeks then peacefully dying
a blue sky turns black without even trying
at dawn a mother feeds her baby that wont stop crying
age doesnt stop because you burned some sage
and that dont help if you got no courage
a books page never takes center stage
it relies on words like an appendage
time dont exist its merely space that twists
to the people who say everything preexists
if time was an image i'd say its mist
over water where a row boat floats

mess
wearing cloths since
the day i was born
if you go to hell
dont say you weren't warned
i got money in the bank
i barely spend
i got a letter for you
i still need to send
i just want to leave
but dont want to leave you
if i want to get somewhere
i just need to go
stuck in a trance
i didn't agree to
born with a face
with more than two eyes
i cover one up
without even trying
just want to sing
but you say i'm off key ...

some incite into an old man's wake
that man with a heachache
bonded over politics
at his grandfathers wake
with his step sister
he always longed for
they completely disagreed
with everything from keeping parties
to if we should legalize weed
he turned his opinions into jokes
so he'd seem smarter than he really is
and i dont know who he thought he was
but she's smarter than he thinks
she knows he doesnt love her
and she'd never do that to her father
the dead man in the casket
looked better than before he died
with flesh toned makeup and his favorite...

plastic wooden horse
when i was a child
i had a plastic wood horse
and it always made me smile
as i road it for countless hours
one day it snapped
down the spine
and as that happened
i swear i heard it cry
when i told my mother
she just laughed
and said she'd buy another
but i just wanted the one i had

just wrote it for the message boards.......
Judas was used
By Jesus in order to be killed
Try and understand
To do what he did
You’d need a lot of virtue
Two thousand years later
Judas still has some haters
Who can’t even make wine from water
Like Jesus they’ll forgive all
Sooner or later
When I think of him
I’m reminded of me
And my guilt overflows the deepest of seas
Flooding the shores
And drowning the trees
By Jesus in order to be killed
Try and understand
To do what he did
You’d need a lot of virtue
Two thousand years later
Judas still has some haters
Who can’t even make wine from water
Like Jesus they’ll forgive all
Sooner or later
When I think of him
I’m reminded of me
And my guilt overflows the deepest of seas
Flooding the shores
And drowning the trees

my dying son
My dying son,
Have you seen the people's worn down faces?
Always waiting, they can't escape
Son,
You refuse to see or hear them
You gaze over the stone wall
To the city
But you wont go in
Son,
Are you afraid
Of screams that resonate in our veins?
I know it's not comforting
Son,
Try to touch the sky
If that'll make you happy
But don't be sad when you see
You cannot claim the world
It belongs to many others
Dear, dear, son,
Why are your pockets always full
But your wallets always empty?
Desire often leads to...

brown eyes
well she didn't always treat me right
but I kissed her goodnight every night
i knew her for most of my life
and loved her like she was my wife
she gave her love to everyone
but i always knew i was her man
then like us all one day she died
i cant forget her brown eyes
well i'm not the best man all the time
but when I am the time is mine
i try to live life like a child
but I always feel like i'm on trial ...

living in the moment
green hills with goats feeding out my window
standing in the shade of trees to avoid the heat
they're lucky if they only know
its time for them to eat
i can hear my neighbors fighting
for ten minutes before they just make love
they fought about their future wedding
over if they should or shouldn't release doves
in time my copper kettle whistled
afterwards i poured a glass of hot water
placed a tea bag in that slowly brued
as i read a story by my favorite author
