POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Bricks
You bathed me in misery
washing me with insults
words I won't soon forget
you dressed me in pain
pretty black and blue designs
up and down my arms and legs
you fed me lies
salt sprinkled bullshit
I swallowed it all, without chewing
you held me down
drowning me in your sin
blaming me for all you lack
you kissed me good bye
ripping my heart out from behind
I bled nothing but love
you have buried me
under a thousand mental bricks
I miss you, now who's sick?

Ephemeral Thoughts
Spilling coffee in my car
the radio kicks out a memory
"how's it gonna be when you don't know me"
a smile, well a smirk
graces my face
I try and think of the band
Third Eye Blind
we were in his car
a blue sable
we drove around Detroit
smoking joints
and laughing
the song came on
we just looked at each other
then two fingers went to his lips
his cheeks bubbled out
puke was then spewed all over the car
and his black corduroy pants
I laughed
he looked horrified
we pulled over
...

The Early Bird Gets Nothing
Birds eating from trash bags,
the most visually depressing scene
no worms for them
cigarette butts instead
take the trees in the name of paper
the birds have been evicted
lifted, from their rightful place
nature sees this atrocity
wiping us out slowly
disease is what we all deserve
blind eyes, twisted tongues
fuck the moon, kill the sun
dieing is for the living
the rest of us shall reap
what someone else sewed

This Dude
He isn't good at Scrabble,
at all....he sucks
if we play trivial pursuit
he only answers the sports questions correctly
he hasn't read a book since like ever
he would rather watch the movie
he hates the museum
but he will go with me and talk shit the whole time
he doesn't really smoke weed
I smoke all day everyday, he hates the smell, I don't care
he wont hangout with my friends
he thinks they're all stoners,they are.....
he loves T.V.,he has to watch sports all the time
I refuse to purchase one or have one in...

That One Time Life Punched Me in The Face
I had lost everything
my life turned into a really bad country song
Greek tragedies had been made from moments like this
anger was flowing through my blood
revenge was singing in my head
my fist were clenched
I was praying....
not to God
everything in me was boiling
I couldn't go home
well it was more like I shouldn't go home
but her I trusted, I thought of her like my sister
I knew I could never trust him and I didn't
but her...she was different
here's the lowdown.......
when we were 21 she had broken up with her...

The Lady of Smoke and Tears
Tired of her face
its haunting me
everywhere I go
every time I dream
she is there
like smoke
blackish
a faded
dirty white
hazy,
but she is there
I can smell her
rotten eggs
sulfuric
disgusting
the nostrils burn
her presence is felt
I cannot ignore her
not anymore
she has amassed energy
she has crossed over
her sights are set
on me
a past life transgression
something I did
several life times ago
drew her to me
my old being
who I was
a piece of it
still lives...

Boredom
exercising demons on treadmills
they like the burn
Jesus is in the rose garden
genetically modified, no thrones
Eve's famous apple pie
dusted with arsenic
Adams rib has been removed
so he can suck his own dick
Cain killed his brother
he was able to, it was easy like 1-2-3
Batman slipped in some guano
he claimed it was not his
Robin wants bacon, well done
no eggs unless they are fertilized
the owl went to sea with the pussycat
in something pee green
the pussycat pushed the owl over...

When The Silence Creeps
Bring the chaos
I need it
desperately
without it
I am lost,
in the silence
deafened
by the sound
of nothing
blaring loudly
in my ear
oh voices
scream for me
please
yell,talk
chat anything
the quiet
creeps
and freaks
molesting my soul
feelings are out of control
begging for pandemonium,
needing it
like water
to survive
to write
dead air
is
dead air
devoid,
vacant.

Climbing Trees While Birds Take the Sidewalk
The sky is empty
God has moved on
clouds quickly follow
the sun sets
wallow in the sins of your father
your mother sold your soul
the family tree is rotting
time to chop it down
a rift in the material called existence
has caused my rose colored glasses to fog up
looking at the world for what it is,
not for what it could be
inflicting my own pain
upon my own being
just because I can
and just because you cant, anymore
laughing like a maniac
I burn your pictures
and my fingers ...

Stealing Pens
The first time my pen was silenced
was seventh grade
someone had reported me for smokes
said I had a pack in my locker
total bullshit, locker raid time
they didn't find any smokes
what they found was a big bag of gumballs
and my five subject notebook
the notebook was my masterpiece
The Rise and Fall of The High School Elite
it was all about the so called popular people
their trials and tribulations in life
nothing good happened to any of them
took me a whole year to write
it was not finished, it was never finished
nor will it...

Kicking Down Sandcastles In My Head
My fairytale expired
instantaneously
nothing left to kick around
its gone
twisted dreams
a fated prince
the fabric of destiny has been ironed out
no more wrinkles
a weight lifted, sort of
but a strange loneliness has crept in
I will miss the fantasy,
it lived a long life inside of me
poisoned apples from a fruitless bitch
a glass slipper that no longer fits
the hundred year sleep is over
seven league boots were made for walking
the birth of something new
the death of something old
what will be.....will...
