Inside The Poem
Sometimes i get lost in other poet's work
That i forget where i am in the current time frame
Am i inside the poem?
I think so
Don't tell Houston, i have enough problems as it is
Let's pull out a lawn chair and watch the beauty unfold
This is the best moment never told
Until now.

Bookshelves So Small
Why is the poetry section at the bookstore
So small?
We're the misfits of the artistic spectrum
Why do they leave such a small hole for us?
Out of all the five star hotels, we're the only only art form that got a one star instead
We're going to need an umbrella, it's going to rain soon
Not because it's symbolic, but because the humidity is high
There needs to be a change in the literary frontier
I'm going to trick or treat, but i don't need no costume
I'm coming as myself
Ready to break through the barricades
And increase the size of these poetry shelfs for the future to embrace
More dreams and more elation than ever thought of before.
We may be the minority now, but it can change for the future
Don't buy a different crystal ball on me just yet
We're the eighth place team that will contend for the playoff
Just watch the curtains come undone
And the kids run
For that golden dream.

Tramples And Screws
I'm so tired of getting trampled on and ******* by Life
Unless it was a woman, than we can alter that statement
Cause what guy wouldn't want that?
Not to be crude or tacky, but if somebody named their daughter Life
Then this poem has a reason to exist.
But as of right now, my ignorance and struggle persist.
I hope you can understand at-least the gist
Of what i'm trying to say.
I feel like this is a very out of character poem for it's content, but it's one of my favorites so far. I think growing as a poet even after writing over two thousand poems is a good thing.

Netflix
Netflix and Chill
Netflix and Chilli
Netflix and Cuddle
Netflix and that’s your pillow and not a real human being
Netflix and you’re going to be late for work
You don’t look for love at the Bar
You look for love at a Library
Or something more pleasant
Anything that has a ravaging environment is not a recommended setting to find your other half
Unless your definition for love is lust
Then you might as well put commitment in the dust
Do what you want, but know what to expect.

Sweep You Off Your Feet
I'd sweep you off your feet
But i don't want to drop you
So let's just pretend i just did.
As long as we know it's genuine, it shouldn't be too big of a deal, right?

A Poet Who Means His Words
I may be a poet but those words aren't something that loses substance after a while
Or right after i say them
I actually mean what i say
I'm not the boy that says sweet words to you for a disgusting personal reward and to use you
Everything i say is genuine, i live by my words
I hate wasting them

Marry-Go-Round
Let's forget this whole meltdown and start over
Reincarnation in the flames
Starting the whole show to Set 1
I plan on changing this course
So my voice doesn't grow terribly hoarse
And i don't become delusional with constant remorse
It's okay to feel bad about the past
But i'm not holding onto it anymore
Let's reenact the day we met
And start this rusted and abandoned marry-go-round once again

College Degree Dream 2
She's looking for a guy
Who doesn't want to party every day in his life
And actually studies his tests
She's started her own since she's put High School to rest
Finding a decent guy is like listening to an ongoing pest
For hours and hours on end
She's stared down at the floor
Always wanting more
Than what's she's gotten
Every Apple she picked off the tree
Is rotten.
These China plates remind me of you
So i'm a little more cautious than normal
Because i don't want to break them
And i never want to destroy what should of never been broken
I only amend the fallen parts
And make them new
My body trembles
At the thought of you making a rash decision out of desperation
You've been throwing those words around and i get extra nervous
Because this isn't something i take lightly
It seems like i'm the only one in this imaginary small town that lends a hand
While everyone glares at us like they have a right to treat us like dirt
I want to save your life, regardless of how many people turn their back on you
I see backs all the time
People love walking away when it gets hard
I just keep going- it's what must be done
These China Plates get prettier by the year
I think it's the same for your soul
It just looks rusty because you've taken quit a few tolls
That also want extra fees
And i'm here to tell them that you already paid
Because you don't deserve any more wounds
Don't worry about me
You're the focus
The art on the China Plate
That gets unnoticed
Way too often.
But i'm the Man that takes interest in the non-perfect
And seeks to make it new again
The Misfits just lost their way
And i'm here to point the way.

Passionate Rain
Your voice holds more harmony than the passionate rain
It's more than a crime when someone uses your name in vain
It would be a pleasure to be with you when we both have canes
But not everything works out like they're planned out to
Life likes to prove us wrong on many occasions
My heart lifts up when my ears pick up the slightest sense of vocalization of you
You're the broth in the warmest soup sold in the supermarkets
And i'm just trying to understand it all.

Vinyl Words
I hear the voices of all the good things people say about me
When i'm at my lowest and not sure if i can keep going
I think that's the main driving force it all.
I cherish those words like a retired vet cherishes his country's flag.
That is the biggest thing me and an retired vet have in common.
We both love our flag and our people.
If i could capture those good statements on a vinyl, i'd never stop playing it.
I would go through several record players within a few years
To only stop my unneeded tears and my most needed confrontation.

Sinners With Golden Hearts
Part I

Dan was a great example and a Christian
He went to Church every Sunday and uplifted the community with a great personality
But he had a secret he never wished he had to hide
He liked guys
No matter how much he tried to like Women
He went back to his old habits
He tried everything in the book to turn
But nothing had ever worked
So his future was a growing concern
After months and months on end without an answer
He decided he'd amount enough courage to come out to everyone
But he soon found out that the people hes known for years that always welcomed him with a wide smile were not turning their backs with an intense stare
And the people who were there for him before didn't really care
His parents refused to talk to him until he became straight
He couldn't handle all of this emotional weight
So he decided he'd do the world a favor and  end it late
At night
When they found out he'd killed himself
The community erupted with freight
They weeped and cried
They prayed and prayed
But nothing could bring him back.
Their minds not had the image of him in it everywhere they'd go
And now they know
Not to reject anyone in the future
As they realized they were the ones who committed the Sin.

Part II

Christina was the sweetest Christian girl to ever grace the earth
She never said a bad thing to say about anyone
And always stayed true to her word
She loved reading forewords
And was a great student in all of her classes.
She was loved by the masses
But as she grew up into a teenager
She realized that Boys didn't ignite her hart like Girls did
And she wanted to know if something was wrong with her
Worrying that she'd be sent to Hell despite all her goodness
For thinking about holding hands with another woman
She was constantly distraught
She couldn't keep her lovers away from her parents
Because she'd be caught
Red-handed.
She was trying to avoid being reprimanded
For being who she was
As the weeks dragged on
She couldn't take it anymore
Her all bad behavior in school greatly concerned hr parents
And they had no clue on what to do with her
She then admitted to her parents one night
After an intense argument
That she liked Girls instead of Boys
And she didn't feel ashamed of it
With her held up high and the confidence of a large statue
Her parents grew silent and stood there blankly for a moment
And up-roared in anger, insisting that she leaves the House
Screaming at her that she is going against God's will
And that she will be sent to Hell until she comes back
Admitting she was wrong and liked Boys
But that never moment never came.
Christina pursued her own life after many years of hard struggle and drugs, she finally found someone who was looking out for her the whole time.
After all the lost jobs, unpaid bills, and hospitalizations from binge drinking and drugs
She decided to end her frantic ways
When she realized her only friend's dismay
As she cried when she woke up from the Hospital bed the last time
Being hugged by the fact she was alive from it all
At that point, her heart grew tall
Registering the concept for the very first time
After that moment, Christina knew.
She asked her best friend to date her
And not too long afterwards, they were married.
Just like what Christina dreamed of in her teenage years, it was with a Girl.
This is not meant to offend Christians in any way. This poem was written to point out a common problem and to showcase the poor choices people can make. I'm not attacking Christians in any manner, just to clarify. I respect all Religions equally when they do things right. All good things have their flaws. I wrote this to help fix a common problem among Christians, so they can become better people for God and progress as people. Like i said, no hatred, just love! If you're Christian and you understand, you have my deepest thanks. I'm just a Deist with Christain beliefs incorporated who wants happiness for all. :)

Being Knighted
I'm at my best
When i'm surrounded with people who love and respect me
When i never asked for such an honor
But i thank God every day for this to be granted to me
It's like i'm being knighted by the Queen of England daily
And i hold that same sheepish smile inside every time
But it's a signature of who i am
I'm so proud of the things I've done right
Because those words that tell me the opposite like to swim around my ears like a fairy who turned to the dark side
And has been engulfed with hate and bitterness
I'm putting an end to the lack of oxygen
And allowing the world to breath again.
Because some people are losing oxygen and things they think they deserve.

Dirt On My Shoes
Stop throwing dirt onto my shoes
I hate this feeling of anger
I'm the Sailor who preferred not to have an Anchor
You pushed me onto the ground
I shook my head repeatedly
But i'm not going to be angry anymore
You live your life without me and face your mistakes
Then we'll talk.
We're human beings, not Gorillas

It May Be Dying
The galaxy may be dying
But we won't be alive to witness that
As long as your galaxy doesn't die, i'm wholeheartedly content
Seeing you completely ravaged is what i deeply resent
I want to be there for your past, future and present.

Free Body, Free Spirit
A relationship is not a form of control
No woman is obligated to stay with me
They can leave me anytime at their own expense
Free body, free spirit
I'm just here for what a man should want
A connection with great care and respect, the other things aren't as important
I'm a huge supporter of women's rights and i felt like this should be iterated in a poem. I'm a babbiling monkey at times so it's nice to know a girl would want to be around me :P But i can't stand guys trying to control their girlfriends and treating them like they own them. I think i'm getting mad just typing it. Lol, you get the point.

Bad Cursive
When you asked me to sign your contract
I accidentally wrote with bad handwriting
And you thought of me as a Doctor,once.
I've been trying to improve it ever since then
But cursive is a dying art now
I Wish it was all different between us.

She's Too Expensive To Lose
She's too expensive to lose
But i'm not comparing her to money

But she's too rare to lose

Murals To Moons
Here is a beautiful mural
But I think I shouldn’t add any more to it
It might get overdone or ruined
I’m all about not ruining a good thing
Just like when people ask me to sing
I’m not like the rest
People look for batteries while I look for the North to my South
Maybe I’m too serious about some things
But I also doubt myself too much
Trying to cut that habit out of my system

Taking A Potion
If there was a potion that could make me a better man
I'd take it
Because i don't want to make even more mistakes
I just want to be that person you would be honored to know
I have the best of intentions
But i can be stubborn
And i have no problem admitting that

We Were Designed
We were designed for seemingly unknown reasons
But the thought of not knowing is held as spiritual treason
I can hear the change of seasons
Calling my name
Wanting the Beast to be tame
Most of us will never be the same
Due to the nature of evolution
We are the pawns of greatness
A chess game that ceases to end
And a nightmare that doesn't stop playing pretend
I pretended for too long, and i deeply regret it.
I look to the future and hop to score an Ace with the Universe
As it lads me to something I've always wanted.
We must be patient in our endeavors  
To be the Nucleus of Purpose.

Sports Cars and Women
The only time Women and Sports Cars should be mentioned in the same sentence is when i get nervous with ruining it
And i get paranoid about damaging them when everything is fine
Obviously i get more nervous with Women
But Sports Cars is the closest thing to that i could think of.

Date Going South
When the Date is going South
Compliment her in 18th century vocabulary
Maybe she'll resonate with it
If she doesn't then the worst that can happen is her leaving
At least you tried
Some poor souls don't even get that far
Cause they forgot how to break the ice
You should be able to distinguish Men from Mice
But sometimes it gets kind of tough

Coat Hangars and Doorknobs
You want a woman that will go out of her way to unlock your Door **** with a coat hangar
And not second guess herself
Because she has full faith in what she feels
Cause she doesn't play mind games with herself

There's a Ripple in the Sky
Because you never even tried
To impress those who belittled you.
I'm a Japanese Cherry Blossom
Without the Cherries
And a slower rate of blossoming
What does that make me?
Does that make me the tea you drink in the morning?
But all i wanted to be inside
Is inside your head
Not in the horror film type of inside your head
But the emotion of fondness and high regard
Will you raise your picket fences for m if you had to?
Because i would definitely do the same

Satan's Daughter
Some of those polite faces that ask if your daughter is here at the door
would take Satan's daughter to the back room if they could
Even Satan is at his limits there
There are lines that shouldn't be crossed and these people cross them
That's why us men are welcomed poorly from fathers at this age
It only makes sense.

Isolation
Isolation should be a crime to the Brain
Seen as a predicament against the Grain,
But it's simplest definition is feeling lower than the Rain,
And i never want to feel this way ever again,
But I've lied to myself before
It's inevitable at one point so there's zero reason to ignore it
But i want to keep it out of my vision,
Where did my shield go?

Love Your Enemies
Apologize when you did wrong
And when somebody hates you for no reason
Be happy for their successes
And learn to love your enemies
This poem is out of pure frustration with somebody i was good friends with for years decided to ignore me after all this time and disclude me from everything, even though i was there for him. This isn't plotting for revenge, this is just my disappointment to something that i didn't deserve because i did nothing and i don't think of him negatively. With all his successes since he started to ignore me, i've been nothing but happy and proud. I just wish he confronted me on what's bothering him so that we can fix the problem and not create tension among our group. I just want it to be like the old days where we supported each other. I'm just praying he comes around, because honestly, he's missing out. We had our fights before the shunning but he always apologized and so did i. It's not about me. It's about communication and transparency. I have zero problem admitting my wrongs, i just want to make things right. I hope you carry this advice in your life. I feel better not thinking ill of someone whose wrongfully casted me out. It's poison. Pray for them and if you're not universally religious like i am, have hope that they'll come to their senses.
