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.
My love
Sometimes I get high and unamused
then come down below solo betwixt confused and enthused
Since birth my heart's been broken, bruised and misused
it's being held captive in a dark cold place with no escape where I abuse
I'm the loser and abuser with a beautiful woman that never even once used
Yeah she smokes a little pot
well maybe sometimes a lot
but never no speed her drug of choice sounds crazy it's me
A love like this my whole life I'd been missing
salvation in her touch and her cuddles and...

It's my own fault
that I got higher than Jack did up the beanstalk
Hindsight is 20/20 even if you've been blind for years
it's easier to see far and away than it is to see near and right here
and I've had a few too many beers so to those I hold dear I say cheers
I've been consumed by the fear that consumes me and it's clear that I have consumed it
I've shedded blood tears and sweat and it ain't over yet bet
How much more can I take when enough is never enough and enough I never seem to get
Unpaid overdue dues the penalties don't offset

Hanky Noodle Dandy
Yankee doodled on lockdown just sat there on his pony
with a frown said fuq this town I'm getting stonedy to the boney
Hanky Noodle got a quarter pound and blazed up with his homies
Stuck his finger in the air and called it
Rice-A-Roni...... Save a potato
Rice-A-Roni a San Francisco treat

Where There's a Will There's a Way
Until the sun rises in the north and sets in the south
I will
Until the pounding of my hearts final beat
I will
Until my lungs can no longer grasp The breath passing in my last gasp The exhaling with out failing like a whisper
Will find her and kiss her
And even then
Still I will
All day long and every endless night From dark to dark my home is in her heart even seasons pass away
Until my dying day as this feeling never fades
I will
I will always
I will always love her ...
I will
Until the pounding of my hearts final beat
I will
Until my lungs can no longer grasp The breath passing in my last gasp The exhaling with out failing like a whisper
Will find her and kiss her
And even then
Still I will
All day long and every endless night From dark to dark my home is in her heart even seasons pass away
Until my dying day as this feeling never fades
I will
I will always
I will always love her ...

Cumbersome
Disgusting discussions ricocheting repercussions
Distrusting desperate times call for untrusting desperate measures
This ignorance is bliss so I buried the treasure
Perpetual evolution in black and white resolution
Here practically without solution is an embalming state of confusion
This pollution breeds poverty and destitution
The contribution is retaliation with retribution
Abusing the using profusely morality and scruples used loosely
Whoa is me whoa what a doozy
Everything's absolutely absurd
Mark my words
Running from the herds ...

Win, Lose Or Draw
Win some lose some every shot you can't make
But you miss 100% of the time for every shot you do not take
Even when I lose I only aim to win
I'll try and die dying to try
To die trying unhigh again
Flip flop on the tip top
Shoot from the hip with a tip shot
A leopard cannot change its spots
Hot to trot until it drops and rots
Dunk shots on the potshots
Picking locks and slipping knots
Kicking rocks and flocking stock
Ticking shots clocked outlined in chalk
Shooting the breeze
Shooting stars shot

Splendidly ZINN
Once upon a time
as this paragraph begins
The first sentence
leads impeccably
to the end
My intentions intending
these words that I'm sending
To you as a friend I extend
If you have an ear
that you can hear with
right here then would you lend
As for me
an ear of corn I will send
You can not ascend
from descending
and descend
from ascending
At the same point and time
then transcend from pretending Over the deep end is where I'm blind and blend in
With the blended blendingly unblending
To defend...

It ends how it starts
I end each day the same way I start
Every day that I start I got a lot on my heart
My mind fell apart from my failure to depart
I see the scars and the marks from the sparks in the dark
Like the bites from a dog that fights with no bark
Standing still on this spinning sphere
Looking back in retrospect as the cloudiness clears
All the years and the tears and the beers got me here
God's my only fear he's the maker I'm the made
In my cave I'm a slave to the shade it comes in waves

Scribblez From Scratch
Lane changer proceeding with danger
Don't talk to strangers that are quick to anger
I'm the one but not the only stoned lonely lone ranger
Illicit illusions
Conflicting delusions
Epically proportioned
Perplexing confusions
Contradicting afflictions can be so amusing
A picture is worth ten brain contusions
Flying higher than a fly
Failure to comply
Distracted and combative
Why ask why just do it or die
Hold tight with all your might
You can't ride off the rails
If you don't fly out of sight...

Subconsciously awake UNCONSCIOUSLY AWARE
My easy does it
Done over did it again
Rusted and busted
Eat up with sin
Discontent with the nonsense
Splendidly blended to end
My endless transcendence not yet to begin
Ashes to ashes
Rusting to dust
Cloaked in consequences
Smothered in lust
Stoked the coals fanned the flames
Chocked down with smoke
Swallowed the lame
Dismembering embers float like flickers of blame
Stifling the light
While fueling the shame
Unable to refrain
From this pain I can't explain
My heart strings strained
My broken...

I went to a house which was not a house
I opened a door that was not a door
And what I saw I saw
Broken mirrors in the attic
Addict reflecting addict
Each one staring back emphatic
While bouncing off the wall
Let sleeping dogs lie if they can't tell the truth
Turn a lazy blind eye and taste a rotten tooth
Perhaps the one eyed cat
has an untold story to tell
About the hitchhikers puffing pipe dreams
With horrific fairy tales to tell
Once upon times
Ending tragically ever after

Below The Beneath The Deep Underground
I'm a lost thinker
It gets me hooked lined and sinker
Oh well I forgot to hit my blinker
If I get stopped by the cops I'll probably get thrown in the clinker
One thing's for sure the right path is narrow
You can own it lock stock and barrel
Cleanse off the filth and become sterile
Behind my blue eyes can you see the basket case
The misplaced displaced casket waste the face of disgrace
Perfectly put in my place
Six years ago today I joined the deep underground
Looking for sight and sound
No where to be found bound like...
