POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
The Chess Player
You manipulate the pieces
So remarkably well
You are quite practiced
It is clear and we can tell
How long have you been playing,
10 years or three?
You are, in fact, much better
Than I could ever be
I would call you “impressive”
But I would have to say no
For I would never purposely
Try to stroke your ego
Your love for the game
Is rather quite amusing
Especially since you are
So afraid of losing
But you prevail in the end
And it’s never a surprise
The skill is obviously there
We all see it in...

VICIOUS
The goodness within me
Is slowly dying out
And it was once so very pure
That is without a doubt
I wasn’t as mean
Or cruel as I now am
And a heavenly force did bless me
As if I were a lamb
And now I’m sad to say
That I may have damned myself
Because all the demons within me
Are slowly crawling out
Is slowly dying out
And it was once so very pure
That is without a doubt
I wasn’t as mean
Or cruel as I now am
And a heavenly force did bless me
As if I were a lamb
And now I’m sad to say
That I may have damned myself
Because all the demons within me
Are slowly crawling out

Sammy Is...
i wrote this originally as a song inspired by a guy that i met a few years ago. it's been a while since i wrote the song too. i was never in love with him, but i did think that he was an interesting character.
Sammy is a phenomenon
Sammy is a dope
Sammy is a moron
Taking another toke
Sammy is my hero
Sammy's my best friend
But Sammy does the same shit
Again and again
Sammy lost all hope
Sammy got very sick
Sammy liked men,
But he didn't like dick
Sammy has grown
Sammy needed a loan
Now I miss Sammy
Because...

Ode to my Grandmother
You are the sweetest woman
That I have ever met
And even though I live with
All kinds and forms of regret
I can guarantee you one thing,
You I could never forget
I am a simple misfit
As you are well aware
You proposed to me kindness
Sometimes more than I could bare
But occasionally I would wonder:
Why bother to even care?
We are now closer than ever
And even though I think
Of running away with someone else
Who stole me with a wink
The guilt is overwhelming
And it makes my poor heart sink
That I have ever met
And even though I live with
All kinds and forms of regret
I can guarantee you one thing,
You I could never forget
I am a simple misfit
As you are well aware
You proposed to me kindness
Sometimes more than I could bare
But occasionally I would wonder:
Why bother to even care?
We are now closer than ever
And even though I think
Of running away with someone else
Who stole me with a wink
The guilt is overwhelming
And it makes my poor heart sink

Like Petals In the Wind
Nothing is in fact, more tragic than love
But when aligning the stars above
The moon will sing and the clouds will cry
Everything shall mourn within the sky
When the atmosphere parts
And the Earth gives way
The sun will shine and make a brighter day
Eventually it will turn grey
Like Mr. Dorian, we will hide away
But when they take you
And our majesty’s crown
I will be saddened
And I will frown
You will be dead
And I shall be gone
The tragic lose
Of our nursing fawn
Nature’s new groove
Like petal...

Longing
It’s really quite repetitive
Redundant and clichéd
To think of someone so often
That you can’t forget their name
They are always on your mind
Constantly present in your dreams
And you’ve been losing sleep
Because nothing is as it seems
All you want is their hand
Intertwined with yours
But every time you leave each other
You’re empty at the core
You can’t have them now
Absolutely never you stupid fool
Forget his face and his voice
And his eyes that appear as jewels

Blue
I’m a little bit tired
and a tad bit blue
Of looking in your eyes
and not having you
I'm not really patient
as you can probably see
But jealousy and envy
keep eating away at me
I'm not saying anything
that hasn't been said before
but since you held my hand
I've been needing something more
I just want your touch
or your undivided attention
Maybe just a quick kiss,
perhaps a special mention
Do you think of me
as often as i think of you?
Do you also lie in bed, thinking
what am i suppose to do?

Lack
His smile
Her grace
His fear
Her face
The miles
The pace
All without words, keeping them in place
A heart
A sigh
Apart
A cry
She is abandoned, because he never tried
