POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I listen well and read even better =)
Milo
Words have not been created in which
anyone could describe
the love I'll miss from you.
Today I could have died.
I could not keep you looking
and they could not tell me why.
Today I had no choice my love.
I had to say goodbye.
I have never loved as I loved you.
I will never be the same.
No animal could ever be like you.
I will forever say your name.
Love You , Milo. R.I.P.

Money
We are the people.
People that have declared to be
the superior of all existing species.
The world depends on us.
We are a disappointment.
We mask our shortcomings by celebrating
miniscule triumphs in comparison
to the scheme of things.
We have reproduced at such a rapid speed
that we don't die fast enough
for our planet to breathe.
We cover every possible natural shape and texture
with our own man made material.
We people, ignore the questions
that someone should ask:
What fills the space in the earth
from where...

No
I heard you knocking on the door
and I thought about it briefly.
As I started to the window
the sun shone on my face.
I stopped and thought about it more
and I know it is completely
such a big mistake
if I allow you in my space.
So, understand my day
just cant begin with you.
Not next week or next year,
we are forever, through.
And , this is just a way
to avoid some useless word exchange.
Go on, and hurry now.
Find something else to do.

Has Been....
/font]
The wait outside the nightclub grew
to the cross street down a block somewhere.
Among the natives , we just stood by
happy, laughing, no sense of time.
Unaware of memories being written in the mind,
this is where we blended in:
anticipating ,
dancing,
drinking to the light.
If we didn't make enough noise,
those boys would make it right.
Anxious,
yearning,
luring every male near...
Hormones pressed in a minute space,
tearing at the seams to taste,
the sweat,
the scent, ...

Writer...........
No fame will I find the feeling for.
I do not know it and prefer it to remain
as a stranger throughout life.
So few will ever see what it is that I do write.
Surely not studied at any academic level,
nor follower of any single person by name,
I have chosen to not pursue anything formal,
as I am undecided as to what I want to claim.
I just enjoy my pen and paper
for whatever thoughts I might need out.
Silence becomes, a path to be creative
when I have something I want to write out loud!

Dog of the night
The dog of the night
dark as black in the light
bit you to pieces
when you broke up her fight.
One finger and both hands
when they don't work
you'll be left as
useless to what you use to know,
searching,
a new way to go.
She wouldn't hear you
yelling her name
again and again.
Down,
she bit harder.
It burns now
teeth farther,
into your skin
like you taught her.
You need to take her away.
A few screws from her escaped.
The risk of her biting again
on the rise if she thinks she can win-...

A legend spanning decades known,
You are the warrior.
Embracing the unseen, lets Go!
You're crowd awaits!
Deserving more than all awards,
you are an icon!
That beautiful music we have all sung to....
we celebrate!
Timeless in this fast forward world,
the road becomes, because of you,
a golden isle, of rich inspiration,
the future will only wish they knew.
Be at ease dear friend.
The joy was your great life!
Music could never see you coming
to sweep us off our feet.
Let this be...

An Ending
Traces, hitching whispers , on the limbs of hollow trees,
giggle from distraction
you have caused
to live in me.
Plainly, as is possible,
your scent is scarecely known.
Anymore, not like before,
you have become, from us,
alone.
Your presence, brings with it, a chill,
an emptiness I feel still.
On sultry nights I used to treasure,
anxiety consumes forever.
Droplets of rain collect in my hand.
Be gone! dark pain,
option-less - restrained-
Exhausting, my love for you invades,
my every moment from dawn till dusk....

Mistake
Fire always filled those veins
with a tiny taste of violence.
Fear would creep upon my face
when all logic had escaped you.
Unannounced, into mighty blows,
a screaming so unmistaken,
for what not, I knew then of,
my happiness you'd taken.
Governing some sense of hope,
was merely a hollow door.
A witness existed in my mind
but kept me insecure.
On days of rain, the pain was whole,
always sick and lost and cold.
Reason never need exist.
Explanation forever missed.
Allowing forgiveness to comfort me...

Time to kiss last year goodbye -
ring in a new year the way we like.
Lets party in the streets tonight...
until the break of dawn.
We cant wait now, the heat is on,
dancing like we know each song.
No one is looking, at us, wrong!
Just smile, you can play it off.
Did you keep your resolution-
you know, the one you made last year!?
I do confess, my one solution
kept my dedication clear.
I succeeded at keeping mine.
Keep on dancing til it comes to you.
Now I need a bigger challenge...
Take that any way you...
ring in a new year the way we like.

O.K.
Let not the suggestion of your artificial friends
guide you to admission.
They only want to exploit the end
to allow for you to need them.
Do not give in to those good graces
from those that sit with smiling faces-
looking at you, upside down,
while picking the locks off ...
the drama that you've got.
Swiftly moving through the moonlight,
hiding hours behind strange doors,
If you invite it all in,
good luck to you-
I can't help you anymore.
From the center of my ocean,
a heart floats far away.
You will struggle...
guide you to admission.

to allow for you to need them.

Goodbye
A beautiful passion for perfection in words,
she fought off temptation to engage in his verse.
He held her at bay , isolating her trust.
Everything he could say, was never enough.
Wasting the future on whimsical dreams,
taking the past and pretending to see,
his glow is all-bright as he kneels down,
taking her hand with a pull to the ground...
Falling to a grey mist and a blanket of hope,
all thoughts are dismissed as he quickly lets go.
Her eyes depart from the gaze she was seeking.
He turns to catch what he hoped she was...
