Not Quite Right

I hate myself!
To bad tomorrow
Doesn’t reimburse the moonlight…

Regretting fear
Overcome with truth
Destiny obtained
Big people
Small world
For any youth

Trying to make something shine
Like buffing an old car
Waxing it just right
Coming inside
It’s Jesus Christ!

Sin forgiven
Never forgot
I’m just a pawn
In this wild chess game…

My white knight
Once so clear
Now I talk behind her back
What was once white
Is now black!

So my eyes
Remain red
As nights go by...
She comes over
We have a good time

Green with Red

It’s hard to be one’s self
When one is wrong….
Self indictment
Self Predicament
Still Strong.
Fruitless;
To grasp innocence
When the bowel is gone
Falling like crabapples
The season is done…
To remember;
Sunday donuts
Ode to naïve ignorance
Gone
Time is essence
Time goes on.
Bells ring
Maybe not loud enough
Green and red
The holiday season bleeds;
Forced materialism,
Forced happiness
Alas, be happy…
And break into your own song

Flame

We’re ready to burn
Time to take the leap
It’s all over
But at least we will burn together

The shadow casts
I light the flame
Tossing myself in
To the sinners game

Time to fall
The world is gone
Love lost
Love, What’s Wrong?

The essence of life
Is fire
I’m the sword
The dragon slayer
Cling to my words

Killing to save,
Your killing me
Saving yourself
Careless…

My blade rises
Taking my time
Painting the image
Words to live by

Let me be
On your eager soul
I would invigorate the unknown
Finding the truth
The flame that devours

Calypso

Stars collide
Not you and I
My heart pounds
This is what I realize…

I watch over you
As Christ watches over me,
You ripped my heart out--
Calypso, drowning your sorrows--
cannot set you free.

Expect--
No condolences…
Receive only shame
Look deep inside,
Who’s to blame?

Your words, Your actions
Set yourself apart
Doomed for eternity,
Calypso? Where is my heart?


Forced to accept,
A world so bright!
The sun is radiant
But we are the night.

As I wash to the shore,
The moon looks down,
You wear your skin…
No words, caressing thoughts-
Caressing sounds…

Heart sought,
Never found,
Saturated by you…
I drowned.

Dream(Part II)

The wet sand
Melting in the wake of dawn
The slender breeze
The hesitation
As the tide rolls generously—
The breath of nuance…
As like waves
You come crashing down upon me—
The water rises
Touching toes—
The world has no worries
The sky shimmers
The sun settling in…
Just warming up
The first pitch…
As seaweed entangles
Stopping time
The secluded cove-

Put it down

Lost!
Lost at sea;
Come now,
Put it down,
Put it down with me…

She doesn’t know
Her doing
Her first time
Overboard…
Legally illegitimate,
Still a Crime.

So please;
Put it down.
Face your lows;
My flower,
My rose.

You have no need,
To drowned sorrow
Do you understand the consequence?

To live life…
Full of regrets,
Forfeit emotions,
Use logic,
Your too smart
Use your big head!

I don’t resonate anger,
Because of all people
I understand the game;
I go hard,
So I cut off
The sound of others names…

Just to hear my own
I can walk alone,
So come…
Head out to sea,
And…
Put it down,
Put it down with me.

(Changed Man, First Draft)

Star bright,
Star light,
Which star am I going home with tonight?

Short skirt
Soft lips
Scandalous
Shaking hips…

Innocence lost—
Replaced by a blend so new!
Drunken slut
The whore’s brew…

Given control
Of her situation,
She is taken advantage of,
Let me give you a demonstration…

I lead her away
A grin crossing my chin
I know how to handle
The girl in my face…


Or maybe I’m the better man,
So…
I take her back to her friends
No story for tomorrow
But a good man within…

I am the Poet

Let me begin;
By introducing myself,
No need for materials,
No need for any wealth.

I am the poet
Striving with clause
I am the poet
Understanding human flaws

I am the poet—
Raising my voice to supposedly superior
I am the poet—
Not satisfied with being inferior.

I am the poet—
My words can destroy a heart
I am the poet…
These lines are my art—

To have loved and lost…
To have searched and found…
To understand reality,
Without happiness the world drowns.

You asked what I want
You know what I need
Il give you the answer
Burning inside of me…

My answer is;
And will always be,
You are better off ,
Without me

Without;
No more reason,
Just to rhyme
No more schemes
No more time
No more worries
No more tirades
No more insecurity—
Instead…
Life becomes a daze…

I am the poet—
So you are spellbound to me
I am the poet—
I release you, be free…

Re-born

Butterflies fly;
You drop,
The club melts,
Too hot.

Burning desire…
Desire of sin
Confidence swelling
Bubbling within

We meet in the middle
Chance tellling us why
Immediately holding close
Memorized by your eyes

Not knowing you
Doesn’t really matter
A fresh start
Recovering
A soul shatters

To be reborn again
Lips give life
Holding hope
Clinging to the sight

Blood rush
My chest swells;
Lover’s hearts
Lover’s tales.

Sleep

Sleep, Sleep
I dream of you
Sleep, Sleep
Dream
I do, I do

Bed, Bed
I crash, I crash
Like waves
I crash, I crash

Pillow, pillow
Love, love
Cushiony white
Heaven above

Sheets, Sheets
Comforting touch, comforting touch
Sliding inside
No rush, no rush

Dreams, Dreams
I sleep with you
Dream, Dream
Sleep
I do, I do

Never again

The pain
The sorrow
The remorse
Descisions that led
Off coarse

Falling down,
Standing up
But enough is enough

Never again
Will I forget
My cause
The righteous path
Has rigteous flaws

A knife stabs
Words sting
Protecting her
Memories call,
Memories ring

It’s too late for action
But revenge is mine
Changing the world
One poem at a time

Last Chance

The truth of the night
We will face tomorrow
Enjoy the night love,
No time for sorrow

We were allotted …
Fates precious time
Don’t squander inheritance
We’ve waited too long for this.

I’m man enough
To know the consequence
Strings attached
Emotions mixed

But that doesn’t matter
Not in the blur of the night
I grab your hand
I need to hold you close

I feel overwhelmed
You don’t care enough
I feel underwhelmed
You don’t care enough…

Why do you need the attention?
Is there satisfaction gained?
Your words speak wisdom—
Your actions speak disdain…

So listen to me now;
I wont hold back
Your final chance
You better act…

If you keep going so fast
Your doomed to look back
Finding yourself
All Alone—

You betrayed everyone’s trust
But to what end
The means don’t justify
The actions at the end.

I’m giving you one last chance
So look into my god dam eyes…
Why fear me?
Fear the coward inside

The truth stings…
So everyone else moves on—
Learn from experience!

Unrealistic;
This may seem,
But, at least
Don’t make the same foul
This is your last chance

Look where you are—
Are you happy now?
Time after time,
Breakdown after breakdown.

You know the answer
But this isn’t a quiz;
This isn’t a test,
This is real life…
Finding reality through your mess

I’m giving you my strength
Try leaning on me
I’m your friend
Right where I’m supposed to be.

Sunrise

Sunrise is extravagant,
So is her saddening fall—
A woman without pride
Cannot rise at all.

Once in a time,
So close to our tears,
The young women’s arched, proud shoulders
Stuck out against her darkest fears…

We watched our words;
Like needles they poked, just to stab…
She was the class experiment, science lab.

The rumor was forgotten; except to the girl so bleak.
Not guilty,
Is her claim,
Ignored…
Now she is weak.

Then we watched, as she cowers and cries.
Why does our world listen
To absurd and disparaging lies?

She cannot hold the eye
Of her friends that now hold her captive—
Maybe she will find…

ESCAPE!
As the young girl pulls away from life’s tether,
Sunrise to her will never again come.
Our stabbing words clouded her weather.
