POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I just wander through my mind and pick up what's lying around on any given day. I'm not a trained poet but I enjoy writing nonetheless. It seems like a good way to drain the demons in my head in a constructive manner.
This Life
I’ve known a lot of people in my time
Loved and been loved by my fair share
Or maybe more than my fair share
And though I was not loved by all
And hated by some
There were enough who cared for me
To bring me happiness in this life
And that is more than enough
To make it special
Loved and been loved by my fair share
Or maybe more than my fair share
And though I was not loved by all
And hated by some
There were enough who cared for me
To bring me happiness in this life
And that is more than enough
To make it special

The FIres Of War
Shadows burned on the ground by the flash so bright
Ashes blown away on wind so strong
Fire cooks the ground to an icy sheen
Where the warheads burst everything’s gone
The time for fear of what might come to pass
Has passed with the radioactive blast
And those who have died never knew they had
It all happens oh so fast
It’s never happened before on American soil
And it won't happen this time either
The Koreans all will burn and boil
The fires of death come to meet them all
On a wind of hell bound fury
Each poke they take at the...

A Long Time Spent Long Ago
My body shaking alight with dancing fire
Filled with excitement feel about to burst
Oh what she did to me
And I can hear her with her moans and shrieks
As I flayed her body with fingers, tongue and cock
I gave it right on back
Hours and hours of electric pleasure
Days spent without leaving that room
Stopping only to smoke and drink some cool, cool water
Before we’d start again
Days and nights of carnal delight
Oh what we’d do in that sweaty room
I miss those things that she did to me
And all the days riding round the town ...
Filled with excitement feel about to burst
Oh what she did to me
And I can hear her with her moans and shrieks
As I flayed her body with fingers, tongue and cock
I gave it right on back
Hours and hours of electric pleasure
Days spent without leaving that room
Stopping only to smoke and drink some cool, cool water
Before we’d start again
Days and nights of carnal delight
Oh what we’d do in that sweaty room
I miss those things that she did to me
And all the days riding round the town ...

Shut Up And DIe
This is Canadian medicine
So just take a number
And try to bleed quietly
Nobody will talk to you
Since you most likely won’t die
So just sit and wait your damn turn
Thank god I couldn’t breathe
I got to bump the queue and be close to the front
But close is not treated
So just pass out like a good boy
And if you die they just say to go home
This is Canadian medicine
And you don’t have to pay so don’t you dare complain
You’re lucky they’ll see you at all
So just take a number
And try to bleed quietly
Nobody will talk to you
Since you most likely won’t die
So just sit and wait your damn turn
Thank god I couldn’t breathe
I got to bump the queue and be close to the front
But close is not treated
So just pass out like a good boy
And if you die they just say to go home
This is Canadian medicine
And you don’t have to pay so don’t you dare complain
You’re lucky they’ll see you at all

Just A Girl Who Needs Love
I need love she thought
Something deeper than what I’ve got
A love where secrets are shared and kept
Something so deep that I’ve never known yet
And I need it today or I’ll go mad
I need something deep and lyrical
Where the song is the love we make
And the words are full of what my lover loves
About me and my love for him
And I need it soon or I’ll lose my mind
I haven’t known real love yet
That much I know for sure
I’ve had faint copies that are only pieces and parts of the whole
Nowhere near what I need but all I’ve found with...

A Fool In Love
Broken skin and a broken heart
Blood drips in time with the tears
While they’re off at the bar you should pack up and go
But you’ll stay there and take it some more
I just don’t understand
How you can stay there
Expecting something different to happen this time
Than has happened in the past
When you should know it just won’t be so
Only a fool stays for another beating
So I’ll call you a fool
As you pick up the pieces of broken furniture
And clean up so he won’t be mad when he gets home
Adding more makeup
To a face too...

The Watercolor
The clouds rolled in full of hellfire and fury
And the rain began to fall right away
Rolling down my painting and mixing the colors
Killing my masterpiece
And breaking my heart
After spending so long to make it just so
It was gone in an instant
And I swear I heard Mother Nature laugh
The bitch
She had lent me the sun for days on end
While I painted my still life
And brought it to real life
Just to watch it be washed away
And the rain began to fall right away
Rolling down my painting and mixing the colors
Killing my masterpiece
And breaking my heart
After spending so long to make it just so
It was gone in an instant
And I swear I heard Mother Nature laugh
The bitch
She had lent me the sun for days on end
While I painted my still life
And brought it to real life
Just to watch it be washed away

The Never-Ending Need
She’s the one that he needs and he feels it deep within his bones
She’s the one that makes him complete and it’s something he just knows
They were together for a long time until she chose to break his heart
But he waits for her with open arms
He’s ready for a brand new start
Hasn’t seen her for months
She’s with somebody else
Hasn’t touched her for years
But he’s ready nonetheless
Ready to start again
Ready to forget that pain
Hopes beyond hope in his heart
He’s ready for that brand new start
He still lives in...

The Pull
The bright lights of the city
Are enough to pull me in
The feeling of a magnets pull
To feel the city’s sin
Jump on the train to pass the miles
From bore into excite
In the steaming summer night
Beating heart begins to pound the rhythm of the night
Well into the spinning light show
The dancing people with the drugs and alcohol
Or onto the strip with all the jostling folks
With no real place to go they just want to meet and get to know
The others in the night
Pulled here by the city lights
Passing numbers...

The Way It Goes
You follow her down to the riverside
And lays you down in the grass so high
A kiss is as good as a glass of wine
She smiles in the sunlight in her dancing eyes
And she holds onto you tightly in that afternoon sun
And she tells you that you are the only one
And you find yourself believing every word she says
Just a fool in the sun that’s in love
And she’ll make love to you there in the afternoon
Don’t be fooled she’s the one in charge
And what she wants you’ll happily give
Because you’ll be thinking that she loves you too

The New Is Old
She’s been running so long
And yet she’s got nowhere
Just a simple look around
Can show her that
It’s just a new town
Just like the one she’s running from
The people may be different
But they’ve got the same problems
And they say the same old things
There’s nothing different than the town she’s from
Because they’re really all the same
And now a storm from the west
Has brought a howling wind
And she has nowhere left to hide
It’s just the same as the storm
Inside her beating heart
No matter where she is
It...

The Way Of The Worlds
When you’re young and wondering
What on earth will become of you
Something about the world will always
Reach out and grab you
And open your eyes to its wonder and grace
Until that is all you can think of
And so you practice and fight to get better
At whatever it is that you’ve chosen to be
And at some point you become what that is
And then you find
It just isn’t enough
That’s the way of the mind
Once you’ve mastered something and made it yours
It no longer will hold a mighty grip on you
And so you wonder what on earth...
What on earth will become of you
Something about the world will always
Reach out and grab you
And open your eyes to its wonder and grace
Until that is all you can think of
And so you practice and fight to get better
At whatever it is that you’ve chosen to be
And at some point you become what that is
And then you find
It just isn’t enough
That’s the way of the mind
Once you’ve mastered something and made it yours
It no longer will hold a mighty grip on you
And so you wonder what on earth...
