POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
My work is a matter of opinion. I just know with every rhyme I find a reason and without reason I'd have no ryhme. I'm far less complicated than you'd ever know if only you knew me at all.
Reckless
Reckless
I lived my life reckless
I was careless and afraid
I couldn't fix the brokenness
I couldn't stop the pain.
The only way to feel...
I found it in a pill.
I thought that it could heal me
Now I know it never will.
Each day I lose a little more
I'm trying not to fall
I've slammed a couple thousand doors...
And built as many walls.
All I really need is you right now
Or perhaps, the absence of...
Cus' like all things addicting
You're about to use me up.
I lived my life reckless
I was careless and afraid
I couldn't fix the brokenness
I couldn't stop the pain.
The only way to feel...
I found it in a pill.
I thought that it could heal me
Now I know it never will.
Each day I lose a little more
I'm trying not to fall
I've slammed a couple thousand doors...
And built as many walls.
All I really need is you right now
Or perhaps, the absence of...
Cus' like all things addicting
You're about to use me up.

Reinvent Heaven
Spiraled around your chaotic blue
I've never seen summer as cloudy as you
I move towards tenacious and out of the haze
Your clarion call showed me the way
Its not without love that I'm stranded here
Adrift in a seastorm harboring fears
I'm restless and reason runs just out of tune
But baby for you I'd lasso the moon
I'd reinvent heaven if God let it be
No one knows you better
At least not like me.
I've never seen summer as cloudy as you
I move towards tenacious and out of the haze
Your clarion call showed me the way
Its not without love that I'm stranded here
Adrift in a seastorm harboring fears
I'm restless and reason runs just out of tune
But baby for you I'd lasso the moon
I'd reinvent heaven if God let it be
No one knows you better
At least not like me.

ANYTHING FOR AIR
Images of what you did sleep in my shattered mind...
As permanent and damaging as the most horrific crimes.
I trusted you with all the things I now no longer have...
And nothing you can offer me will ever give them back!
In shadowed strands this broken man is begging you to leave...
but you can't sense the urgency that's caused this all to be.
You exist in daylight...
disguised awaiting night...
In every breathing moment you attempt to take my life!
This warrior that you've labeled
me is weakened...
He's afraid!...
You've...

MR. NEGATIVE
You are like water holding me down... Its not nice to do this!...Don't you know I could drown? You enter my conscience like a nuclear bomb... There's no darker cloud than the one that you're on. You turn the dial from zero to ten. I'd rise above it but you make it sink it. Why do you do this to me? Why are you pulling me down? You know that's not what I need, but you keep dishing it out. You're the giver of bad vibes.. There's no keeping it in!...You send shivers down my spine...Mr. Negative!

I've been there too
I feel like I'm seeing myself in a mirror...
talking to him when he's not even here...
All of his struggles...
and all of his pain...
remind me of my life...
in so many ways.
He doesn't see it...
and neither did I...
but having survived it...
I can show him the signs.
He has potential...
He's got what it takes...
He's just tired from holding a thousand mistakes.
He's a diamond in the rough..
A boy and a man...
At war with himself...
In need of a hand.
I'll offer my shoulder...
It's all I can do...
I'll give him...

SINFUL GAMES
I'm the beast inside you
I tell you pretty things
I make believe I love you
That you're the only one I need.
I'm the beast inside you
Come join me in my lair
Its not the mind and body
Its the sinful games we share.
I'm the beast inside you
I'll own you in the end
I'll recreate the outside
To match the hell within.
I'm the beast inside you
You will surely feel
All the ripened splendor
Of all that cannot heal
Oh I'm the beast inside you
I've robbed you of a life
Now I need a vessel...
I tell you pretty things
I make believe I love you
That you're the only one I need.

Come join me in my lair

I've robbed you of a life

chanel and camel 99's
She smelt of antique channel and moth balls and old forgotten things...
Her smile thick with deep crevasses...wisdom written on Her face.
In her hand a wet white cloth she waves back and forth as though surrendering...
though she's been here for 78 years there's a freshness about Her...
Vulgar and sweet...lipstick smeared and vodka kisses can't explain her...they define her in the vaguest sense I suppose.
Is she afraid of the limelight it seems so obvious she's hiding or is she waiting...waiting for him like a princess...forgotten in the highest tower...chanel and camel...

and saw me naked
Your Windows just across from mine
I saw you watching...
trembling...shaking...
You stroked then smoked
And saw me naked.
Just for show I screamed and moaned...up and down a rock hard bone...
I'm surprised I didn't break it...
Aren't you glad you saw me naked.

Bright light oblivion
Say that you need it
Let it take hold
It swallows your world
It's out of control
It's just an addiction
It's just what you crave
You can stop if you want to
But just not today.
This sandstorm you're feeling
Its not just inside
Others can see you
As you peer through the blinds
I'm not that way
I'm not like the rest
What the hell have I done?
I've caused such a mess
I wanna go back now
Let me off of this ride.
I just wanna go home
Please...just open my eyes
But its not a nightmare
Its...
Let it take hold
It swallows your world
It's out of control
It's just an addiction
It's just what you crave
You can stop if you want to
But just not today.
This sandstorm you're feeling
Its not just inside
Others can see you
As you peer through the blinds
I'm not that way
I'm not like the rest
