POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
My cat could beat up your cat
Seize the day
Take my hand, and go with me.
To a world, of sound and trees
To help my mind become unglued.
To fill with feelings, of joy and of you.
Light my fire, bite my tongue.
You know the trip has just begun.
Take my hand, we’ll go and see.
A realm of pure infinity.
And such is this reality.
That a wealthy heart is a rarity.
And in searching for my clarity,
I’ve given up so merrily.
I see now what I couldn’t see.
What was always right in front of me. “Cherish thy friends, and slay thy enemies”
Like sands on...

A different way
I’ve got these things piling in my head
Built up like a powder keg
You’d best step off, before you end up dead
But this is life, it’s a struggle
You’ve gotta grind, gotta hustle
No one said this shit’d be easy
Just shove it out the door with a shovel
People say I’m depressed but what I see is real
A blessed curse, yes it hurts
I don’t sugar coat my meals
I just go spin my wheels, because life goes on
I see the best in everything
Tho I sing a sad song
It’s just the way I see the world, learn to live with the bad ...

the rabbit hole
How far are you willing to go?
Are you prepared to feel yourself dissolve?
To face demons head on, conquer and solve
Open your mouth and lift your tongue
This is how the religions begun
Different perceptions, branch off like vines
Take a walk with me and watch them intertwine
I’ll shatter your old morals, and make way for new
I show there’s more to life than “you”
It may be scary, insight can come at a price
I’ll make you see things that can change your life
Whether in a cap, or on a tab
Packed in a bowl, or taken with...

Moonlight blue
Aimlessly
Still we seek
Moonlight, that shines, just for two
Effects, in tune
Alone, me and you
Lets take this chance, while the air is blue
And as we, gently move
Assuring thoughts of you
Flood my world, lifting up my mood
Touch, me smoothe
Calming, gently soothe
Wonder to, the fire Burning blue
Starcrossed, forbidden
Across the sands of time
Content, consenting
Forever youll be mine
Still we seek
Moonlight, that shines, just for two
Effects, in tune
Alone, me and you
Lets take this chance, while the air is blue
And as we, gently move

Flood my world, lifting up my mood
Touch, me smoothe
Calming, gently soothe
Wonder to, the fire Burning blue
Starcrossed, forbidden
Across the sands of time
Content, consenting
Forever youll be mine

Can't let the pain win
I look at you and I see stars
A million or billion miles apart
In between are my thoughts of you
Forever wondering, pondering you
You may see me as a misfit
But I promised to treat you right
And through my works
We never saw eye to eye
They say love heals and destroys
But in the moment we're lost in the ploy
The world fades away
Troubles seem to fade
So why did you trade?
That for a cheap thrill?
Did I matter?
Was I just another phase?
These questions, run through my head
Day by day
And each day I realize...

Modern times
I don't get much sleep
I don't like to eat
I don't take advice
let me live my life
Land of the free?
It's just a metaphor now
And home of the brave?
People just like the sound
He sits on his couch
Watching CNN
He'll complain about the world
But he'll never chime in
Welcome to the modern times!
Where we have social skills like mimes
We live our life on a phone
And we complain about feeling alone
Denounce morals!
And promote sass
It seems our only concern
Is about "dat ass!"
Religions and...

Talking about "her"
She's got hair like a gentle stream.
Flowing down her back and rippling.
Hair stands on end when she speaks.
A wave of cold chills when she sings
A kiss from her lips to ease the strain.
From here to there and back to her again.
I hope she understands when I say.
She's the light in my life that never goes away.
Flowing down her back and rippling.
Hair stands on end when she speaks.
A wave of cold chills when she sings
A kiss from her lips to ease the strain.
From here to there and back to her again.
I hope she understands when I say.
She's the light in my life that never goes away.

Dramamine
Slurred speech
A numb sense of reality
This is me
Hearing voices that aren't there
Conversations with thin air
Dry heaves and deep hallucinations
Delirium and no sense of reason
Shaking vision and streaks of light
Is this it?
Is this my time?
I'm only coming up
Will I ever come down?
How long will will it be until I blackout?
All this and more must mean
I'm on Dramamine
A numb sense of reality
This is me
Hearing voices that aren't there
Conversations with thin air
Dry heaves and deep hallucinations
Delirium and no sense of reason
Shaking vision and streaks of light
Is this it?
Is this my time?
I'm only coming up
Will I ever come down?
How long will will it be until I blackout?
All this and more must mean
I'm on Dramamine

Not me, certainly
Tell me to follow rules like a fool!
Become a nobody just like you!
The world is full of lies and deceit!
If I'm gonna die, I'll die on my feet!
You're not right!
Who is right?
Well not me
Certainly
Do what I tell you just like a slave!
You made this mess and I'm not your maid!
Scratch and claw my own way out!
Good or bad, I'm insane no doubt!
You're not right
Well who is right?
Not me, certainly
Abandonment is a thing in life.
And pain is fabric of the mind!
My world is full of addicts and liars!...

Temper- tribute to Hunter S Thompson
What's a temper?
A temper is like an earthquake
Just a small shift to turn buildings to rubble
To send society into panic
The list is endless to the last statement
From an energy crisis
To a prank call planning to blow up a school
People take things too rationally...
Never thinking of a better opinion than that which is planted right in front of their gullible faces
People are always scared that they'd be too far out of line
That's the problem with society I believe
Nobody wants to truly challenge any form of authority
I'm not speaking of...

The fear(introduction)
There we were! A typical day in the grind. Just trying to subjugate what reality we were in, what our names were, what's our purpose in the world was....
We'd just gotten back(my partner and I) from hitting fresh nugs out of a not so fresh soda can. And there we were still, the masters of our universe, traveling by foot through the matrix of peoples faces at the mall, not knowing where we were going, but not giving a shit about when we got there.
We were free, we were confused....
So as we strode past jc penny's I noticed something a bit strange out of my line of work....

Loathing
Taking shape across the sky
Just don't look up, try and hide
Here lonesome is where I sit
Waiting for it to take me again
No one ever sees it coming
Till it's too late
No one, ever takes a the time to breathe.
Sit around waiting for some kind of relief.
But this big black cloud hangs over everything....
Hear me from beneath the ground.
Searching for what can't be found.
Solemn grace distills the air
Breathe it in, going down it tears.
Just don't look up, try and hide
Here lonesome is where I sit
Waiting for it to take me again
No one ever sees it coming
Till it's too late
No one, ever takes a the time to breathe.
Sit around waiting for some kind of relief.
But this big black cloud hangs over everything....
Hear me from beneath the ground.
Searching for what can't be found.
Solemn grace distills the air
Breathe it in, going down it tears.
