POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
a shadow of what once was, preserved by caffeine and spite, i turmoil the days in order to give shape to words
potraying a shadow
I know at times
My peculiarities strike as odd
For a mystery i remain
To these inner working called I
Constant struggle to pursue
Nevertheless i contour this
Fragile state of being
Unto which i show you my soul
Bared with no excuse
I am who i am
Be patient with my weary mind
For i continue to battle a fight
One which has no clear tunes
Or structured lines, i merely use
What i can to be alive
Poetic disembarkment for you
I etch in simple lines
Hoping to be for you
I do not choose to struggle
But i do...

steps to begin
I try to pursue change
Disguised to encapsulate what
I cannot yet understand but
Time will slowly reveal that which lay
Hid before sight growing ever
So slightly as horizons grow
These mortal eyes do well
To heed the beauty of physical
Guise, but do not be afraid
For the worst is yet to come
So rise to meet fate
If ever so cruel then banish it
Make your own roar of
Stardust crashing to become
Matter and form consolidating that
Which we cannot name or label
For it is not in our place
To demystify that which...

be
No more names and labels to
Disguise who we really are
Anatomical fashioned organisms
Operating physical bodies made
Of stardust and celestial matter
Once roaming about Universe
Operated by a fleshy pink brain
With the engine being that which
We apply various symbolism to try
And capture its essence what it is
Does not matter but what is
So we go forth now with no more
Disguises or mask to hide behind
We are beautiful in our creation
For we each imprint on existance
To gaze at ourselves every night
For every star...

can't really say
i cant help it
these words pass by
critically acclaimed
for disuse between
white strained spaces
of blue and red
etching in a road
of linguistic code
dancing to a rhythm
bellowing out free cause
inducing neural synapsis
to fire within the brain
comprehending ones and zeros
translated the visual representation
still
all lays hidden before
the meaning

dance with your thoughts
beseeched by soulless wanderings
in the eve of night filled
excursions toward self fulfilling
destinies betraying thoughts of
higher forms of existence
but we merely dance away
beautifully scripted to fall
down this path of illusions
pilled high unto our
minds will they explode
charismatic colors vibrating
a tune unheard in ages
long forgotten by man
yet remember the sounds
don't you forget
words will only convey
half of what we speak
the rest is up to you

i must conquer these
cataclysmic explosions
of emotional turbulence
when my eyes rest
upon your face
beauty in disguise
my heart can't help
but beat once more
yet i fear this
closeness, i've been hurt
i know the pangs of
losing that which
we hold dear
but my mind does
not listen to reason
wanting to hold you
close
so i dive heart first
into the unknown
hoping to make it
last i have but one
request for this tired
soul
be gentle and fierce

sitting worried how you
might feel towards this
jumbled mind of thoughts
pursuing a height of energy
focused enlightenment
we work around our
emotions carefully shaping
our destinies intertwined
to encapsulate the stress
of not really knowing
who we are
when we see each other
smiling at our presence
near yet not really
at hand job taking
our attention
so we merely talk
and flirt around each
of our thoughts

jumbled mind of thoughts
pursuing a height of energy

emotions carefully shaping

A dream I once had
I.
walking alone
shivering from the cold
but i alienated myself
took to the streets
to release my distortions
thoughts i cannot remedy
tools used to abuse
taken from struggles
of earlier inductions made
choosing whats next
sleepless night
struggle to fufill
the hollow ache i
cannot reach, so move over
tonight i walk alone
inside this dream
a dream i have made
with my own two hands
theres nothing you can do
so please let me be abused
by raving madness construed
into these tunes i’ve shaped...

Sounding off Gibberish
I.
carefully misshapen creations
inducing endeavors intentions
to believe in different causations
producing these mental distortions
i cant wait for distractions
building up inside me
taking precious moments
designed intricacy set
into motion by disillusioned
proportional instructions
so these words are but
mere symbols, created to existence
brought to realistic dreaming
these societal prescriptions
of what we should do
but flying between thoughts
being more creative
introduce more stability...

simply made
where is my mind?
somewhere far away beyond
parallel dimensions of concrete
distributed reality made of
emotions playing around my head
concluding my insanity in
a world made for the living
yet im still here pushing them away
these words crowding in my
life, slowly pushing me beyond
the brink of no return
but ive lost them all once
concluded i was better without
displays of attachments towards
physical constructions of sanity
fell before the truth that
it was all i had to keep me sane
at least that's what i thought...

this is not an explination
words are clashing by
towards self repentance
aimed to keep this fragile mind
at bay, with rhetoric used in
debates about environmental policy
concluding that we destroy
more than we build
is this how its meant to be?
i cannot continue playing
this game, for it has no winners
in its mist of denial towards
the single contribution in
our final phase before extinction
is this all we can do?
build hatred into schools
poisoning the minds of children
whose dreams are about love
uniting common goals that ...

thoughts unravel faster
than speeding lights
of cascading significance
believing to be on a journey
light years from home
to produce that quality of
life, unlike any other
organism quantified by
mathematical formulations given
into quantum mechanical
inspiration of creating
inductive power of love
pursuing hope by thousand
suns of radiant light
betraying realms of physical
thought inscribed by gods
long forgotten in their
pursuit to shape the
fabric of living matter
to create a sight unlike
others,...
