POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Deeply disturbed by the world
The silence is deafening... and deadly
This silence
It's pounding against my ears!
It doesn't make sense!
Your silence has frozen my tears
Before they even leave my eyes
And it isn't even cold in here
This silence!
It's filling my head with lies!
But I'm not sure
If the truth is the cure
To my affliction
All my dreams are pure fiction
If I don't have you
This silence...
It's killing me
I'm ready to kill me too.
I'm gonna see
Whether death is silent or
Just like me
And the silence will be no more
Though much too late I'm sure...
It's pounding against my ears!
It doesn't make sense!
Your silence has frozen my tears
Before they even leave my eyes
And it isn't even cold in here
This silence!
It's filling my head with lies!
But I'm not sure
If the truth is the cure
To my affliction
All my dreams are pure fiction
If I don't have you
This silence...
It's killing me
I'm ready to kill me too.
I'm gonna see
Whether death is silent or
Just like me
And the silence will be no more
Though much too late I'm sure...

The f**k!???
The fuck!?
Not this shit again!
Damn there's the pain...
What the fuck?!
It's more...
So much more than before!
I'm losing my mind!
With no more hope to find
My life just pulled a one-eighty on a dime!
In fifteen minutes lost the only person I've ever loved
And I didn't even see it come
Until 8:59
I may still seem almost fine
But I'm dying inside!
I can hear my heart cracking
Wait I think it's almost done crumbling
I feel nothing but pain now
I can't even remember how
How to be happy
I'm not even sure what it feels...
Not this shit again!

Morning again...
It's morning again...
I was having a wonderful dream about us
And then...
It was morning again.
It drives me nuts!
Every night I hear you call my name
But every day is the same
It was just a dream...
And now it's morning again.
I was having a wonderful dream about us
And then...
It was morning again.
It drives me nuts!
Every night I hear you call my name
But every day is the same
It was just a dream...
And now it's morning again.

Dreams of you that never come true...
My dreams of you
They never come true
I awaken to despair
It just isn't fair
I dream of the day
That I will hear you say
"I love you too!"
And every time the way it happens is new
But it always ends the same
Every night I call your name
But I never hear you call mine
Not one time
Except in dreams that never come true...
They never come true
I awaken to despair
It just isn't fair
I dream of the day
That I will hear you say
"I love you too!"
And every time the way it happens is new
But it always ends the same
Every night I call your name
But I never hear you call mine
Not one time
Except in dreams that never come true...

"Don't f**king text me again!"
"Don't fucking text me again!"
The words that broke my heart... again.
The words that will spell my end.
Goodbye
Forever
My life was a lie
I'll get over you, never.
The words that broke my heart... again.
The words that will spell my end.
Goodbye
Forever
My life was a lie
I'll get over you, never.

Train-wrecked Brain
Look at me, I'm a wreck!
Sleep deprivation,
Love starvation,
Forgetting to take fresh inhalations
What the Heck!
I wanna grab myself by the neck
And squeeze
Or is that just another side effect
Of loving you? Please!
Fix my train!
Or was it my brain?
Either way
Don't go away!
I'm a wreck!
And I would like to check
Out of this mess...

I get my strength from cold places
One is only as weak as they allow themselves to be, one is only as strong as they force themselves to be
But from what I can see
One can't become strong just by trying to act strong
One can only heat steel for so long
After a while it will simply melt
To be strong, like steel, one must be constantly be dealt alternating and changing amounts of heat in the fire of. Love and positive thoughts
then quenched and hardened in the cold icy water of pain and loss
The world's strongest people are the ones who face the average highs of life and then face the worst possible...

Hope is lost but my heart doesn't know
Hope is now lost.
But my heart doesn't know.
It continues to love you no matter the cost.
My mind wants to go
It knows the deal
But it won't change how I feel
Because my mind has long since lost control
Of it's own thoughts
Sometimes I wish I could scrape my thoughts into a bowl
And pick out the unwanted ones and leave them to rot
You love him not me
My heart just can't see
Why yours won't stay beside it
My mind wonders what happens in yours
Bit by bit
Board by board
I build my own coffin
All hope is lost.
But my heart...
But my heart doesn't know.

Marijuana and Me
Marijuana
Call it what you will
Weed, Bud, Pot, Ganja…
Tree…
Whatever you call it, when you smoke Marijuana with me
Things are real chill
One time I was smoking with my cat, Bootsie
And I taught her how to roll a Doobie
When I smoked it she barked so I called her Scooby
Marijuana is my best friend forever
Mary Jane, I love her
Marijuana and me…
We’ll be together for eternity
Call it what you will
Weed, Bud, Pot, Ganja…
Tree…

Smoke some more
Smoke some more
Smoke some more
It ain’t like we’re poor
We got all the things we need
And I’ve got plenty of weed
Life is like a giant bud
And every living thing is a little speck of amazing
Everything from a cow chewing cud
To the flapping
Of butterfly wings
In the right situation
Can cause the world to change
Damn, I think this weed is starting to affect my brain
I guess that’s why it’s called the train wreck strain
So if a cow and a butterfly can make the world change
What can one stoner do?
I don’t have a...

More WEED, LessGREED
More WEED, Less GREED
“This world could use a little more weed, and a lot less greed.”
Said my stoner friend, as he picked a seed
From his yet to be rolled joint
I agreed
And said “you have a point”
As I sat on my ass
In the unkempt grass
Behind his shed
He finished rolling and said
“Here, you take the first hit…”
……………………………………………….
As we smoked, and talked about stoner things, it came to me, but got lost for a bit
That at least when it came to real shit
My friend was a man who would practice that which he would preach
A week...

WHY?
WHY?
Can anyone tell me?
Is it possible to know?
I just don’t see,
Why won’t you love me?
Even though,
I love you so.
It just doesn't seem fair,
How much pain do I have to bear,
To gain hold of your heart,
To ensure we’ll never be apart?
Can anyone tell me?
How good must I be,
To make you see me?
Does anyone know?
