POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
No experience whatsoever. Just have a need to express myself at times. Sometimes an idea or word stick in my head until I explore with it on paper.

A Dream
Dream with me that we will grow old together
And forever fight the monsters living in darkness
On the other side of our door
And forever fight the monsters living in darkness
On the other side of our door

Caress
I sit by the waters edge
and feel the many winds caress my face
where is your touch
to add to my thoughts

Ow
Ow, that hurts
It should be a little uncomfortable
That’s not a little, that’s a lot
Are you sure?
Do you want me to try it on you?
No thanks
I thought you said you knew how to do this
Well, I do
Apparently not
I think the mood is gone
Some mood
It should be a little uncomfortable
That’s not a little, that’s a lot
Are you sure?
Do you want me to try it on you?
No thanks
I thought you said you knew how to do this
Well, I do
Apparently not
I think the mood is gone
Some mood

Really
I heard that you should not use abstract nouns when writing poetry.
How disappointing.
How disappointing.

Words
I chase the words all over the page,
but when I finally catch them,
they always do this,
when I want them to do that!

they always do this,
when I want them to do that!

Ocean
Was a time when the ocean rushed through my veins,
and my blood surged with the ebb and flow of the tides.
Softer now, like a quiet wave breaking on the sand at night,
I follow the gentle currents where they may lead.

Opinions
Cats are cool,
but nothing comes close to a kiss from a dog.
Love the mountains,
but the ocean has the edge.
There is no such thing as a bi-sexual man,
he may not want to admit it, but come on now, he’s gay.
No human being is a waste,
and no one deserves to be thrown away.
Most people in prison don’t belong there,
but some do.
Rainy days are great for writing,
but only if the sunshine is coming up behind.
Getting old is not better,
it just plain hurts.
Women are smarter than men,
but everyone knows that.

Puddles
Before the world as we know ended
He always tried to speak the truth
But now the words turn to mush in his mouth
And end up in a puddle on the ground
He always tried to speak the truth
But now the words turn to mush in his mouth
And end up in a puddle on the ground

Wrestlemania
Three hundred pounds of unmovable Down Syndrome.
A lot of it may be fat, but let’s be honest here, 300 pounds is 300 pounds.
He communicates through wrestling.
So, if you want to get to know him, or if you want him to know you, you have to enter his ring.
If you want him to open up, you need to earn his respect on the mat.
Undefeated of course.
But I’ve been watching closely.
And I believe I’ve found a chink in the armor.
Moves like a dancer.
Who’d have thought?
A three -hundred- pound ballerina.
He smiles.
Victory is certain. ...

Colors
faded blues, reds, and greens gently bleed
who are the faces forever transfixed in wonder?
tell me about their journey and how they arrived
do you grieve or celebrate?
embrace me in the colors you embody

Twists and Turns
He’s been lucky so far.
Twists and turns, even some detours,
but no dead ends.

Wrong Address
I’d like to have a conversation with God,
but I’m worried that once I arrived for my appointment
she’d take one look at me and say I had the wrong address.
