POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
HI! I'm Michael and I'm a poet!
The Champion
The Champion
Through the cold, dark nights of many moons.
Through the days of the harsh, angry sun
he travels the lands where he is needed
to face the horrors from which others run.
He has faced demons,
slain monsters,
dragons and giants
bringing the innocent such pain, often death.
His mission, the champion to all in need of his aid
shall he provide until his very last breath.
Oh the princesses he has loved throughout all of his trials!
The damsels he has rescued as he has traveled these ways.
But...

Hammered
Hammered
John wanted to get hammered for his twenty-first birthday.
His friends wanted to make it come true.
They went first to one bar and then to another
as friends partying so often do.
Throughout the evening they drank having the time of their lives.
John sang karaoke as he never had before.
By now he was hammered but feeling confident.
He even danced, showing his moves on the floor.
His friends felt it was time to call it a night
as good friends always want what is best
when it comes to looking out and...

Let Me Know
Let Me Know
Here you stand beside me and I do not know what to do.
I have tried everything I know of to show you how I feel for you.
It breaks me up inside because I do not know how you feel for me.
If you would only tell me how you feel it would solve my mystery.
At times you smile at me and I feel so good inside.
While other times you seem annoyed and I want to run and hide.
All I am wanting you to understand is how very much I care
and that if you ever need somebody I will always be there.
I will be there when...

Walk
Walk
I would have walked to the end
of the earth and I would have jumped
had I thought that the Earth was then flat.
Sometimes in life we do not know our way
home anymore and we have no idea where
the answers are at.
I will still walk for there must be a purpose
and it will reveal again to my eyes.
It is here that I am without a name.
I walk this walk.
I am free of shame,
only welcomed without a disguise.
I will listen to the mighty trees' counsel.
If I am sane it is because of they. ...

Sweet Angel
Sweet Angel
Sunshine,
how it dances within your lovely hair!
The beauty you exhibit is beyond any compare.
Looking at you now, love's most angelic face.
Will you allow this simple fool the sweetest kiss to taste?
This love I feel for you is impossible to measure.
Holding you to me now,
I have never felt this kind of pleasure.
Just let me stay in your embrace for just a while longer.
When I think I know my love for you it only becomes stronger.
What did I do to deserve you?
I am the luckiest man alive!
I...

Liberator
Liberator
He will rise where the shadows have meaning.
In his hand he will grip the throat of the empire.
Two will become many as the skies trail
a heavenly tear.
Years will pass as days
and some will trespass
into the wrong direction.
Freedom will know another face.
Laws will crumble underneath
a massive weight.
There will be hope
in the eyes of the just.
What once was can never be again.
Under new rule a time will come
to prosper.
Poets will write of history
and the dawn...

Constellation
CONSTELLATION
For a time I existed as a god.
Her being the sweetest of ambrosia.
Her being the goddess in my eyes,
my heart and soul, her temple
of which I sang by her immortal song.
A gentle and eternal hand.
The raging storms would cease.
The tumultuousness of the seas
would ease into a peaceful sleep.
She.....energy.
The lightning, beautiful,
forking across an endless sky,
lighting up the night,
night to day,
let us revel in her splendor!
In the palm of my hand I once...

Shepherd Moons
Shepherd Moons
You with your eyes that study me,
read me only to receive a scrambled signal.
Static on an old television screen.
The beginning of the “Big Bang” or so they say.
There is no sense here.
There is no logic.
You watch.
You look but I am out of focus.
I am “away.”
A moment of time in repetition.
You keep stillborn puppies in a glass jar
yet I am the one on medication.
But is that not what makes you notice?
I notice you.
You with your top shirt buttons undone. ...

"Clubs"
Clubs”
I saw the King of Clubs today.
He asked me where you are.
I told him journey to the west
where he would find you are not far.
Last night I listened to the jets
go flying overhead.
On one of those was the good King
demanding to be fed.
And might I ask where is his Queen?
Has she been left behind?
Wherever she is she is somewhere
with static in her mind.
It is said the Queen of Diamonds comes
to play her games at two.
If ever anybody told
they would see their life be...

Undead Heart
Undead Heart
You stole my heart and left me dead inside.
You took my heart while laughing all the while
and now my days are grey.
Everything I see is black and white.
Life has no color for me anymore.
There is no warmth.
I am so cold.
I walk.
I live
without heart.
You stole my heart.
I am dead inside.
My blood runs cold.
I was still young but now look so old.
My skin is cracked.
My hair now white and falling out.
I show signs of decay.
You stole my heart.
You plunged...

Would You Notice?
Would You Notice?
Sometimes I look up at the night sky
and I wonder what may be going on up there.
I wonder if somewhere up there someone or some thing
may be looking at their night sky pondering the same things.
A meteor streaks by as if to say that maybe it is so.
Sometimes I look at those far away mountains
and think that maybe I should go their way.
Get away or go away,
somewhere where I might be useful somehow
if I can be useful somehow.
I suppose I am like that last bit of sunshine
shining down on you as if I am...

Perfect Poem
Perfect Poem”
What do you want from me?
You want me to write you down
so you can be free eternally?
I will write you down
as you come to mind
and I will experience your power
in so doing I will find.
But it seems I am never quite satisfied.
It is never enough.
In writing you down
I am lacking that “stuff.”
The perfect poem.
I will never reach that goal.
Though you and I try
on many occasions
it is futile
and we both know it.
We have written some good ones ...
