POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Its just dictation from the graffiti inside the outside walls of my head that changes like the weather- lost socks with a keyboard.

Truman on the beach
Fear
The great life decider
Kept in a can on the shelf of the discontented
waiting to be used
What kept us?
Rivers the sky cascading mirrors of itself, its seems peaceful.as art on the wall safe as a portrait gathering dust,
Is the art nothing more than a lame attempt to remind us of our missed givings?
Like stuffing a shark in a fish bowl, a cartoon in the mind but designed to keep us safe from fear
black glass breaks
Even that big fat guy dances the ballet of fear as he walks through the scards under his feet...

Bookmatched
I close my eyes
Matching colors collide
Dreams are awake
Instantly staring then gone
The wind whispers calm
Staggered breath
My faults become clear
Don't rely on me,
Tired guilt wins again
I sit and listen
They take comfort in redundancy
It makes me deeply sad
I realize I'm the same
Wandering for an excuse
Trying patience for fun
Here we go again.
Matching colors collide
Dreams are awake
Instantly staring then gone
The wind whispers calm
Staggered breath
My faults become clear
Don't rely on me,
Tired guilt wins again
I sit and listen
They take comfort in redundancy
It makes me deeply sad
I realize I'm the same
Wandering for an excuse
Trying patience for fun
Here we go again.

manic curse
My eyes drink colors
Art becomes one
Stop no waiting
Consume without thought
Fear & doubt cry
Walk away
Self made definitions change the clock
Friends see, not the same
6 feet center my heart beats my eyes until pain sleeps
I choose light but can't see
Today & yesterday, tomorrow for sure
Meaning escapes & grows old
I can't close my eyes, darkness has no beauty.
Rest your ok.
I am your friend
I am your friend.
Art becomes one
Stop no waiting
Consume without thought
Fear & doubt cry
Walk away
Self made definitions change the clock
Friends see, not the same
6 feet center my heart beats my eyes until pain sleeps
I choose light but can't see
Today & yesterday, tomorrow for sure
Meaning escapes & grows old
I can't close my eyes, darkness has no beauty.
Rest your ok.
I am your friend
I am your friend.

The black dog follows
Cold gray sky surrounds my soul
blanket of warmth no more
still I sit frozen with my companion, depression
guilt consumes me
my work ethic screams from what little is left
Black and blue fight blue no more
I sit and stare at the past, mourning it's death.
drugs try and try, but they swim and swim like oil in an ocean of water
21 fail they mean no harm
My father watches me, he's gone but his energy is present
oh how I wish I could spend just a day
father please forgive me, I couldn't watch you die
how selfish of me, I'm so sorry.
