Poet Introduction
a shadow of what once was, preserved by caffeine and spite, i turmoil the days in order to give shape to words

i love you
holding you near
when i close my eyes
but the dream ends
another day ends
hoped these feelings
would slowly fade
so i pour another shot
pour till I'm numb
light another joint
distractions crawl in
my mind is up there
where no one can reach
didn't consider it all
when i saw your face
those eyes held my heart
and what really hid inside
now you have it all
but i refuse to ask for it back
there's no place for me
now that you've gone
so as i stumble to bed

a book's end
turning the page
landscapes filling my gaze
endless words pass by
intriguing these thoughtsb
i never thought i'd finish
words upon words
of all that i've seen
all that i've felt
now i sit here
turning the page
watching it all change
inflicting this need
scorch these pages
black ink destruction
prophesize the end
with melodic tunes
perhaps build something new
a different look in the stars
i don't want it to end
yet what begins must finish
landscapes filling my gaze
endless words pass by
intriguing these thoughtsb
i never thought i'd finish
words upon words
of all that i've seen
all that i've felt
now i sit here
turning the page
watching it all change
inflicting this need

that one confused look
alone and scared
don't know how long
I can keep up the ruse
broken and used
i'm feeling so blue
inside my soul
inside my heart
nothing left in there
too much
too much
pain
bleeding
instant healing
cannot pursue
all the thoughts in my mind
the words are so mixed
rhyme is abused
bleeding is out
inking it out
tumbling to find
a way outside
this prison i've made
inside these lines
music to soothe
dreams to be used
i'm breaking it down
just.one..more...time....

wondering
curiosity killed the cat
but satisfaction brought it back
i wonder who you are
out there in the world
what you look like
how you pass your day
read under the stars
perhaps enjoy walks
so many questions
a couple of answers
confusing as it seems
i want to learn more
peaking my interest
producing an image
carefully constructed
out of words written
maybe one day
we'll share a drink
pass the day
and talk about life
but satisfaction brought it back
i wonder who you are
out there in the world
what you look like
how you pass your day
read under the stars
perhaps enjoy walks
so many questions
a couple of answers
confusing as it seems
i want to learn more
peaking my interest
producing an image
carefully constructed
out of words written
maybe one day
we'll share a drink
pass the day

the actions they do
tyrant in disguise
foolishly trying to devise
schemes of death
to rob us of our breath
pass your fast track
ensure the TPP and TPIP
send your troops in
block them from leaving
Syria to Ukraine
Germany to Japan
plans of militarized globalization
full frontal discrimination
kill those who oppose
so willing to dispose
leaders bent upon corporate greed
striking away global peace
create your one world government
this foolish new world order
building your bases
Introducing destruction
foolishly trying to devise
schemes of death

wake up to their lies
trust your instincts
don't listen to them
feel the world
breathe out their poison
gmo filled shit
pesticides sprayed
polluted sprinkled water
don't lock yourself in
those walls aren't your friend
that tv is meant
to subjugate your thoughts
cia interrogation
mk ultra instigation
look out for big brother
lies won't keep you warm
or wipe those tears away
fascist neo-colonialism
spread thru "democracy"
government sponsored
mass cleansing operation
switching power figures

look around
radiation spilling forth
counting down the days
mass hysteria anew
death visits those who believe
look what they've done
those disillusioned pricks
you call them world leaders
they bring worldwide genocide
now that's a future coming
if you stand and watch
can't wait anymore
need to push them out
no need for lies
or hypocriatic oaths
sold to corporate greed
military industrial complex
only you can stop
this madness they've insued
create a better road
one we must fight for
or we shall die for...

self power
I've sat here wondering
what makes us who we are
is it pain? is it sorrow?
perhaps an unending need
to pursue excellence
or agree to believe
in which we cannot
whatever the case
some fall down
others keep walking
yet once in a while
a lone voice speaks
pours out faith
for a better day coming
perhaps only dreaming
but people come closer
the voice speaks louder
words flow out
and you start to listen
It can be you speaking
what makes us who we are
is it pain? is it sorrow?
perhaps an unending need
to pursue excellence
or agree to believe
in which we cannot
whatever the case
some fall down
others keep walking
yet once in a while
a lone voice speaks
pours out faith
for a better day coming
perhaps only dreaming
but people come closer
the voice speaks louder
words flow out
and you start to listen
It can be you speaking

dark side inside
breaking apart
tiny little pieces
fragile mind
perpetuating strength
destroying my mind
constructing new insanity
I cannot believe
I fell for this
a lie put forth
my own idea
thought I was healed
but it comes once again
back for revenge
tearing me apart
a monster inside
lurking in the dark
probing my limit
testing its chains
a sadistic smile
plays across my lips
thoughts rushing in
inducing the rush
want to feel again
what it means to be alive
in the eyes of death
the skin of cruelty
tiny little pieces
fragile mind
perpetuating strength
destroying my mind
constructing new insanity
I cannot believe
I fell for this
a lie put forth
my own idea
thought I was healed
but it comes once again
back for revenge
tearing me apart
a monster inside
lurking in the dark
probing my limit
testing its chains
a sadistic smile
plays across my lips
thoughts rushing in
inducing the rush
want to feel again
what it means to be alive
in the eyes of death
the skin of cruelty

honest with yourself
what do you seek
when looking inside
is there an answer
for the question in mind
or do you merely intrude
on what you already know
grasp your creation
put forth what you seek
written down words
transferred into numbers
portrayed on the screen
your immaculate truth
or is it? is it immaculate?
we disguise what we have
in the clothes that we wear
the songs that we sing
soothing to the ear
i may not be perfect
shit I'll never be
but all I truly want
is for you to be
honest...

Death and Life
I've always wondered what would happen after death, after the long journey progressing slowly-or quickly for some-to the eventual demise of body and mind. Not just for humans but for all life forms in existence: birds, sharks, bettles, various shapes and forms of organism throughout the Universe. How different, alien we must seem to these life forms going to war over materialism and ideology, the existance of poverty (the idea of it is even bizzare), how belief in a system made for corruption (i.e. government, banks, school). We can only seem to comprehend the futility in our actions but...

a simple story
didn't really believe
I would make it this far
starting a new life
with something more inside
what is this feeling?
is it hope? is it strength?
whatever it is
seems to have helped
put my demons to bed
and the skeletons to sleep
i don't want perfection
i merely write stories
of what is around
and all there is to see
beauty is inside
and not what you see
hope is a choice
but then so is fear
life is too short
for you to live up
to what others expect
of you to become
