POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I've been writing since I was a kid. It's a release for things that tend to get trapped in my head.
One Droplet At A Time
Your laughter seeds my soul and your smiles shades my pain.
Your hugs fill me with warmth and at those moments I feel a change.
We dated as kids but now as grown up this doesn't seem the same.
You said let's start this over from the beginning and that everything will be okay.
You reassured me that your not going anywhere, no matter whose to blame.
One droplet at a time, as you guide me through the rain.
Your hugs fill me with warmth and at those moments I feel a change.
We dated as kids but now as grown up this doesn't seem the same.
You said let's start this over from the beginning and that everything will be okay.
You reassured me that your not going anywhere, no matter whose to blame.
One droplet at a time, as you guide me through the rain.

I Still Remember Clearly The First Day We Met
Those were the days of happiness and sorrows.
When we had each other and we dreamt of tomorrow.
Ten years have passed since the last time we kissed.
But there are still days that I reflect and reminisce.
I think of your laughter and how you spoke with your eyes.
I loved how you'd be cooking when I'd walk inside.
Sex was incredible because you tended to me.
And at the same time I fulfilled your every need.
When you moved in you felt so sick. So at lunch time I'd rush home just to show you how much you meant.
We'd stay up at night and talk for...

Queen Marie Laveau
Marie Laveau I hear your name.
They praise you in the streets and have no shame.
You hexed the good and gave love to the wicked.
You even healed the sick and conjured one way tickets.
Spells and chants still that last.
And voodoo dolls that shaped men's past.
There's no other like you, even the devil took notes.
The honor would have been mine just to hear the words that you spoke.

A Man Like Me
I wake up kicking the wall.
Who can love a man like me?
A Marine who is still violent, even in his dreams.
What I turned myself into wasn't just for me.
It was for my three children and a wife I no longer see.
They never had to bear the burden of losing their Marine.
But I still carry the scars of hearing people scream.
I can see now clearly that the battle is still in me.
War can change many things but never back to who one used to be.

Witching
The witch's hour is long and weary.
But I've got a thought or at best a theory.
Your hexes, spells, and even love potions don't work on me like your Bath and Body Works lotions.
You straddle me like a broom stick ready to take flight.
There is no doubt in me that tonight's that night.
I may not be versed in all your subductions
Or how you got me hooked with your hips in motion.
Now I see what that crystal ball meant about me being broken.
As you scream in tongues, only half words being spoken.

Time In Jail Placed Us Apart
I told you I'd miss your breakfast, eggs over medium, bacon and grape jelly on buttered toasted bread.
But I could never imagine how it would make me feel waking up without you lying next to me in bed.
I miss the joy it brought you when you would tell the cows good morning, everyday.
I can still smell you blow drying your hair and remember watching you applying makeup to your face.
These are the memories I hold on to and pray will never fade.
Like "Suck it up, Buttercup", the term you use to always say.

Calloused
I've prayed on my knees until my callouses turned into stone. Prayers unheard, Lord am I alone?
I've flooded this earth with my very tears and pounded the dirt until it shook with fear.
I pleaded for you to lend me your ear.
I've scavenged my soul to make it whole.
Surviving wars did take it's toll.
Lord I just want to know.
Why do you let the Devil temp me so?

Watermelon Moonshine
Watermelon Moonshine......
Fuck everything.
The hell with your lies.
And how you use to say you loved me.
You fucked with my mind.
Behind bars you never replied.
So this how I get by,
Writing songs and sippin on Watermelon Moonshine.....
It's been months since I've felt your touch.
I try to hold on but there ain't much.
I've been to war and that's better than this.
Fuck you, you heartless damn bitch.
Fuck how we met that night.
To the last time you yelled and tried to start a fight.
I tip this manson jar up to the moon...
Fuck everything.
The hell with your lies.
And how you use to say you loved me.
You fucked with my mind.
Behind bars you never replied.

Praise The Spoken
Pray a prayer, that God can hear.
Listen Lord, for I know I'm near.
Understand, the troubled bound.
Unshackle the chains, that keep men down.
Hearts of old, and new alike.
Embrace our words, and give us flight.
Bless the wicked, and forgive our sins.
So we may know, your love knows no end.
Lift the weak, and heal the broken.
We praise the words, our Savior has spoken.
Allow the deceased, to rest in peace.
For in our hearts, there is no disbelief.

Imposter
Evil lurks, with God's disgrace.
Heaven weeps, as tears lead chase.
Under moon lite nights, and days unbound.
The Devil yearns, hear his wailing howls.
Understand, the prays unturned.
Like summer breeze, on skin that burns.
Find the bliss, from foreign gates.
Miss led trails, and venomous snakes.
Half bitten apples, that knowledge taints.
Robbed by Eve, where Time forsakes.
Notes of lies, that mortals make.
Tunes of tongues, for life will ache.
