POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I dont know a damn thing, but in books and in life, I chase wisdom, go where curiosity leads, and save who I can save in my way. I love music and its various forms of expression. That's it guys. Live within your means and play more than you work.
Elitist Supreme
In the simplest man
May I find complexity
May I not be bored
With seemingly subdued
Complexity
May I not be a bore
Who claims to have seen the world
To find monotony's score
In others
And therefore
Myself
A lonely anomaly
Unto the common
All
May I not become a snob
Literary and pedantic
May I not be that knob
Who cannot sit with the party chick
... To think so small of it
May I see the shrinking
Humbling thoughts
Where many can find prey ...

Jealousy Does Not Belong
We are extraordinary
We are beyond
Humble
Wise
Beautiful
One they would lay down a life
Or a hundred
To absolve
They fall easily
We are easy to love
Most unworthy for our touch
Will feel the loss
So I will give you advice
Love yourself
Love them all
Be not saddened
When they leave
When they stage their own fall
They have no choice but to love
And with that sentiment
Comes two
Either forever they consume
Upon rejection
Will hate you ...

Will and Testament
When I die
I don't want a funeral
That's all I ever saw of my family
Just burn my body
Split the ashes
So all
Can have
And every
Time they see a new city
Spill those bitches
And think of me.

To You
Saying goodbye gave me a second chance with you and tata and tio and all whom I wish to grow with. I am truly not angry as I was previously
Yet
As sorrow may linger, I vow to cover that pit with smothering memories of love and happiness.
As I merge with the child, the ever present mother, and the blind person that is me, anticipate mistakes that I will own and correct if I can.
My second chance, my love, my other, necessary half; I cannot even say that you and I can split like that. For one moment I feel the gravity centers in me, then the pull of you...

Cultivators Rule This Place
I want to live
To walk along your streets as if a beggar
No story of upcoming ventures
No past to endlessly endeavor
Provide for those who will not pay a Thing back
I walk this place with change in pockets
Blessings to spread if I can
I have sought not
I ask for not
All I want
Has been provided
And as I sit
In sanctuary
Watching nearby
As peace is divided
I help my neighbor
Living in close quarters
Generations under one roof
The elderly
Wanting for healthy
Days only...

I Am Light But Wake in Darkness
We don't dream cause we don't sleep
I peep into him briefly
And see
Yeah
He's like me
Rolling the sheets late at night
Hot
Cold
Sweat adds a spice
Old and ripe
Usually I hop in the shower
Sit and think in the bath
Hours
Beckon the sun
Eyelids lag as I cower
But I start my day with a jog and some jabs
The bag ripped
Some more tape I gotta add
Slip out of more sweat
Take another bath
Get a couple calls and texts
Before nine AM
Eat some leftover...

Depression: Us Unto Self
Clean the cupboards
Clean the floors
Clean the surfaces
Clean the boards
Old school scalding
A pinch of bleach
Clean my love
Clean sanctuary
Clean the tub
Where old skin meet
With new sun rising
So
Clean where you sleep
Where old struggles delve
New
Adventures dwell
Clean cobwebbed
Spaces
Overwhelmed
Tumbleweeds
Venture
Nowhere
You see
So
Clean this space
Your sanctuary.
Clean the floors
Clean the surfaces
Clean the boards
Old school scalding
A pinch of bleach
Clean my love

New
Adventures dwell
Clean cobwebbed
Spaces
Overwhelmed
Tumbleweeds

Beauty As I Know You Will Be
Where I search
You will find
Where I die
Life unto mine
Forgotten not
Line of my life
Feel man's plight
Devour their strife
My daughter
Or son
Take from me
For youth
Forgoes decay
In your
Beauty.

The Presuption of Ownership
Like a child
I made you my life
Now you will know life
Without me.
I made you my life
Now you will know life
Without me.

Not divine. Just Human
We all escaped from somewhere else...
Logic and heart
Have always the same
Vision
Both positions
Stately
Needed at their posts
In the end of all this life
The balance lays barren to the host
Yet
here we wait
Ready for suffering
To merge with which that would deny
An alchemy that can never forge
A hive without the ancient scribes
Simple men to sing the foretold
And when the incalculable
Was always solvable
By mortal men
In God like disguise
Will he come as...

Godly Men
We are the monsters
We don't hide underneath your bed
We who dictate
What's allowed in your head
If an idea
Was so easily disputed
Why do we kill
Those who speak the truth and
The true
Sin of man
Coveted
By religious libraries
Exhausted
In their horror
Never to exult mythological ideologies
Though they push this
Absolution the only way
Do what I say
Not as I do
If it is ever on display
And when we speak the truth
To save your unworthy soul
When you recoil ...

Why Not
How this place
And peers
Have taught you to fear repercussions
Symptoms
Of their scorching
Identifications
Whore
Yet you take insult
In my creed
For
I want not your mind
Soul
Nor excessive time
Wasting about sorting sentimental pantomimes
Philosophies
Childhood stories
Traumas
Trivialities
Why take offense
When I profess
I will not love you
Nor lure
Through false pretense
Why hide intent
When you want me
To satiate
