Narrative Poems
#narrative
Narrative poetry is a style of poetry which tells a story. Narrative poems aim to draw the reader into the imagination of the author, to immerse them in the story being told. Narrative poems are usually written in metered verse, but do not have to follow any particular rhythmic pattern.

Ma And Me
We started out young,me and Ma, fresh out the joint
We started running up in liquor stores and robbing check cashing points
Hell after a year in juvie we were out to get ours
We would pull surveillance on a target hours upon hours
We had both been down before so we knew what was
The motherfucking risk we were taking if we ever got caught
We had felt a few drizzles and one or two showers for our pain
But now it was time to go balls out and really make it rain
The plan was laid out, we had cased the front and back parking lot
We waited...

Labor can be exhausting, yet restraint has to come.
Things we thought we should do
- And doing other things
but those weird businesses
Never started
We thought to land -
Speculation to run
given to the son -
Heaven in which we hoped to stop
when discipline was done.
Unable to reason
but maybe to find one day.
It reminds you of meadow grass.
It's Forrest Fiction.

Portals
It started with me shaving the hair on the back of my hands
First in small patches and then to meet demand
I could hear and feel every strand as it met blade
But I don't remember the cuts or when they were made
But I can tell by the length that they started out small
But they became longer, more vicious, more deeper and all
I see the mirror and the mirror sees me
It draws me with promises that this is where I need to be
It shows me things, things that can't be ignored
Of the pleasures of hell and what's in store
Of the...

Untitled Story (Part VIII)
In a snappy manner, Yves took the bag of money and ran for the door. The dwarf was after him but he tripped and fell.
“Run!” He said to Xavier with a smirk on his face and they had vanished.
The day had finally turned into night. It was quite a long road before they had reached an auberge. They had a feast and rested like never before.

The Retail Store, part 4
As I walked in, I saw Samantha against the wall. Her legs were wrapped around Bens torso and boy was he 'taking' her.
Her arms were wrapped around his head, with her hands over her mouth as she was trying to contain the sound of her moans.
If earlier it was tense, right now things were very intense.
She noticed me standing there in with my eyes practically popping out of their socket. She made sure to make eye contact. As Ben continued to thrust into her.
I don't know if Ben even noticed me in the room, all his attention was on Samantha and I...

The Retail Store, part 3
Monday morning had come
The routine staff meeting was taking place
Today everyone seemed serious
The cheery energy from the last time
Seemed to have doubled down
Now this place felt like coming to work
Everyone gone assigned the area where they would be working
And that is when I realized
I didn't actually get a full tour of the store
I basically just stood with Ben in the same position towards the front end
"So Newbie you will be working in the Discreet section" - BossLady remarked
'uhm Discreet section?'

The Retail Store, part 2
That weekend, I was still replaying what had happened. It must've been some initiation joke. I also hadn't spoken to Claire since then. I mean she was also about to laugh at me.
I met up with her on Sunday. I needed explanations. So we met up for lunch.
Things were a little awkward at first but she broke the ice:
"you're really going to enjoy yourself working with us"
'I see you guys really do enjoy yourself, at the expense of others it seems' I snarkily responded.
She giggled, no way man. We've known each other for a while now and you...

The Retail Store, part 1
A degree in hand and
debt chasing me down
This is my life now
Job hunting wasn't favorable on me
The market is closed off right now
Just when I was about to give up
Something did come up
A friend of mine recommended
I join her workplace
It was at a retail store
The pay wasn't that good
Yet for some reason
she was really happy to work there
So I thought what the heck
The store wasn't that huge
It was just in the vicinity of the mall
Yet it was almost hard to notice
When driving past ...

Interrupted
So I woke up in the mood
It was just one of those mornings
I finally got a day off
And I guess my body had tension to release
Well I ignored it
I'm usually an early bird
Yet today I just wanted to
stay in the covers.
Despite this
I willed myself out of bed,
you'd swear I had somewhere to go
Now the late morning had rolled over
And boy did I really feel it this time
My mind was seriously pacing
I just couldn't ignore it any more
I guess today was service day and
You can guess what...

White Wrappers
I’ve already condemned
myself
how could I go any
further?
you further the
narrative by
committing
murder and
getting away
with it
at what point do you
stop sabotaging
yourself?
at what point do you
see a pathway
forward?
at what point do I
leave this life to
live below the
Venice Blvd.
underpass?
talk is not art
your head was just
something else I
wanted to
punch
booze was fighting against
the guards and...
myself
