POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm not sure you could say I'm a poet or a writer but I am able to reveal the poetic presence within tragedy and convey it through my vocabulary poetically. My ability to extract a colorful poetic spin out of darkness Is my poem. It is poetry.
A provoking precursor
KUSH HAD ME LIKE ????????
I wonder am I the only person that still has that one clock that still has yet to be set back an hour since past fall? Beside the fact I've had numerous occasions to spring forward, still falling back becoming pleasantly pleased then surprisingly surprised because I had an extra hour to play with to preside over and reside, So I thought. Not remembering that I forgot or was it forgetting to remember, either way I failed to recall that I hadn't set the hands back? However it appears that my...

Can't kill Bill
It's too long to be a limerick so perhaps a ditty if you will
If you will just be still like trying to catch a fish with a rod and the reel
And if you're ever in a pickle that isn't sweet then think dill
Which is what you'll surely get if you ever mess with Bill
There lives an old man and his name is Bill
he's got a big damn boy and that man's name is Will
And if bringing them some trouble is really how you feel
You better pack a sack lunch and sharpen up your skills
but first sit down and write yourself out of will
Cause you think that you can and...

Blissful ignorance burdened by truth
Incomplete and broken all to pieces without peace
Lost in this crease with no release
Increasingly living predeceased
Will this beast that feasts on my decrease ever cease
Will I ever really rest in peace complete at least
To be awoken and unbroken and in one piece
Lumpty chumpty was behind the eight ball with his back to the wall
Stalled to a crawl from all the hardships that enthralled
Lumpty chumpty said fuk it all y'all when he recalled what he saw
Scrawled on the wall written real small
Coming down from a come down ...

True or False Witness
I spitter and sputter
With lust for trust a must or bust as the blades in my back they rust My words they flutter and mutter as I stutter to utter
But believe it or not
From haters to lovers
Still I can't believe it no way
To be one or the other
A dead man walking
Like a blind man in the dark
The final act
In the mundane script
In part with the pointless part of the part to impart as I depart
Half bled to death
From my own bleeding heart winded out of breath
With a flickering spark ...

Preying on a miracle
I ain't a poet and I know it
I harnessed the uncontrollable and I can't control it
Getting down to the brassed fact in the glassed crack
A rider to die for again some more will I ever know it
I ain't a writer and I think I show it
What a hard row it is to hoe but I gotta sew it
A bad day above ground is better than any good day spent below it
Expressionism through colorful euphemisms with multi dimensional words
Can be overthought and under sought as I disclosed to console it
The stagnant bottleneck from the asymmetrical to...

To The Bonez sToned aNd Sticking witH it
Stone to the bone in the rhyme zone Outshone by the cyclone to the well-known from the unknown
Bricks and stones can be made into a home
But words can huff and puff until it's blown
Bones will heal from sticks wielded and stones thrown
But words can hurt for a lifetime
Sticks and stones have come and gone
But angry words leave scars unbeknownst
Better bring a big rock and swing a mighty thick stick
If you got the stones to start a conflict
Be very careful with each and every word you pick
Sticks from a tree may hurt me...

The Sixth Son From The Only Son Of Six
I wonder if his life flashed
before his eyes before he died
My life crashed before my eyes then I sighed
In a mad dash to the ash
Running from the worst hurt
From the last bash smashing
Head on into the first crash Thrashing from the vastness of the amassed past
Outlasting the lashing out cashed out
From the casting out hashing it out as a castaway
Passed away giving in from the passing out
With no doubt about the what
I'm the who when there's nowhere left but right there
With the know how but not the why now
Is it...

From the Depths Of The Fourth Dimension
It exceeds my comprehension
The ill intentions from all this tension
As I've paid in full with my fully divided retention
To the aforementioned uninvited apprehension
Failing to mention with discontentment and condescension
The depths of each lockstep indention
and their dimensions indepth Having no exemptions or extensions
Being stranded In still frame suspension
Over the absurd third intervention
From the disturbed reinvention of the unobserved fourth dimension
It takes a deep sigh to make a breath of fresh air
As I'm waking...

Made In Japan
Please forgive us our heavenly father
God shed his grace on thee
Crown thy hood with brotherhood and Justice for All with Liberty
It was a time that defined our identity
With a date still living on in infamy
The surprise attack from a reliable ally that back in 1941 was our enemy
Monumentally we eventually found serenity
Through divinity and with integrity to forgive attentively
With the peaceful signing of a treaty to diplomatically treat one another with some dignity
Three and a half score and seven years ago
It was terrifically...

What Will Be, Will Be
I've over thought it to the point now it gets to me
I've marveled over the idea of just letting things be
My emotional poverty exceeds my lack of self empathy
Psychologically I guess I like the misery
So illogically yet so marvelously my experience with monogamy
Mental anguish quickly arose
in me
Inappropriately exposed it was proposed
to me
The prose decomposed being predisposed
in me
It was composed to be imposed then dispose
of me
Undisclosed and indisposed It was opposed as it enclosed
on me
Now I...

One Way Or The Other
Do you stop dead in your track to retract or distract to think before you act
Or in fact remain relaxed intact and on impulse react on impact back on the attack
Displeased and at ease as the deep freeze from this disease has crept up on me
Mentally decrepit I tried to appease seizing the day then attempting to seize it all I dropped the ball
Now I've been seized up in my leisure from this seizure
How quickly away morals of the story they flee
The concept of death now overwhelmingly appears crystal clear that perhaps the tragedy of my reality is to go out...
