Twas the Duel Before Xmas 2Twas The Rematch Before ChristmasTwas the Duel Before Xmas 25 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Twas a few days 'fore Christmas
And all through this year
Things had calmed down
Or so it appeared
My dueling had slowed
My deck was all dusty
I hadn’t played in months
So I felt a bit rusty.
But that was ok
It was going to be fine
For all those illusions
Were all in my mind
The Santa, the bunny
The midget and all
Were all taken care of
With a single phone call
Three months of therapy
My mother did order
Borderlined she called me
Then crossing the border
I tried to explain
I had tried to protest
I tried to rationalize
My dueling contests
I had saved Christmas
Saved for us all

Twas the Duel Before EasterTwas the Duel Before EasterTwas the Duel Before Easter5 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Twas the Sunday of Easter
And all through the city
All the girls and the boys
Were dressed up all pretty.
All dapper and handsome
All pampered and pressed
I too was pimped out
In the clothes which I dressed
Shiney shoes, shiney buttons
Shiney cufflinks and more
I was blinging all over
From head to the floor.
When all of a sudden
I heard a loud thump
It was outside the door
It made my heart jump
A tapping came after
A knocking most persistant
I hurried to the door
I couldn’t resist it.
When just as I thought
And this may sound funny
But there in my door
Stood the Easter Bunny

I wanna tell you what I'm feeling,
But I don't know how to start,
I’ve would tell everything, but
I'm afraid that you might break my heart.
I practice all the things that I would say,
I tell myself today would be the day,
But every time, I lose my nerve.
Why should this ever,
Be so hard to do!
I look at you, you look away.
Why?
Why do you turn away?
Are you afraid like me?
Can't you see…
I love you!
Superhero One Shot The sound of an explosion caught Zack’s attention as he was leaving his apartment for a stroll. Narrowing his eyes, Zack quickly bolted towards the sound’s origin. He was no speedster, but he was far faster than any normal human. A rather large crowd of people came running Zack’s way, ushered by the police away from the danger. “What the hell’s goin’ on?” Zack tried to ask an officer. “Not now son, get away from here. We’ve got a rather harsh situation to deal with, and you’ll just get hurt!” Another earth rocking explosion ensued, and Zack pushed past the police officer and tSuperhero One Shot4 years ago in General Fiction More Like This

Twas the duel on the fourth
and all through the burbs
whistles and snaps and pops
could be heard.
The night air was warm
and smelled of gun powder
The smoke billowed up
It grew by the hour
I stood there that day
all decked out with ammo
Fire crackers galore
And painted in camo.
My friends all hid
and ran for the door
no one wanted to fight
in my firecracker war
So I stood there alone
in my GI Joe look
When I heard a loud BOOM!
So loud the ground shook.
I turned real fast
to the sound’s source
And came face to face
With Uncle Sam of course.
Fireworks erupted
from behind the old goat

Twas the weekend of St. Patrick’s
And all through the town
All the men and the women
Were gettin to’ down
All were enjoying
Their lagers and wine
All, that is, save three
Me, myself, and I
I was too busy
Wondering how things had occured
And thinking last Christmas
Was truly absurd.
I figured it was something
Maybe something I ate
To make me see the things
That I know truly ain’t.
So there I was playing
Just minding my own
When suddenly I heard
A knock and a groan.
“Please Hurry” a voice said
“AND OPEN THE DOOR!”
I did as instructed
And nearly was floore
BackI wonder if sorrow ever truly defeats usBack6 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
(or leaves).
We push through our circumstances, ever mindful
of that back door,
yet heedless and headstrong and impulsive in our
stamping out the time, our ignorance of the melody.
Blistered bits of memory cling like burnt clothing,
which we do not strip off for fear of nakedness.
A thousand watchful eyes and even more clacking tongues
perceive the weakness in our anguish;
and nothing but the forward thrust of time
can move us,
can thread us among them.
I wonder if sorrow ever truly defeats us.
Or if we simply walk on,
weaving in and out of those foreign faces,
ever mindful of
I Wanted To Be The Soundits raining as i write as i listen toI Wanted To Be The Sound8 years ago in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
a song and my life is consumed by
perfection whilst i ignore its
faults and the moment weighs
upon my eyes and overtaken i
begin i want to cry but its
my nature to soak up the outer
layer of every small and lonely pain
just as im not tired
I COULD STAY HERE
BECOME SOMEONE DIFFERENT
BECOME SOMEONE BETTER
i want nothing more than to drown
what i am in my love
for the drops of rain down and

because i cant remember the last
moment i felt whole all
encompassing grip of night

Melting Into My Sighttoday it rained, hard and cold and making puddles everywhereMelting Into My Sight8 years ago in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
the concrete glistened maybe shone with the
wet sparkle of small pools left here
and there-- with ripples sounding
through windows, hiding in the sky
i stood on the cool set of grey
beneath frozen toes in broken shoes
and watched through curtains
of small and shiny bullets
falling from air
my eyes wandered through the scope of staircases
how they differentiate
cracks and bruises of something
supposed to be unbreakable
when i lay underneath and hope
i do not die
before fully realizing the extent
of self-imposed importance through streams of misery
but everything

laid outside and talked about
those moments
lying to his face, poor boy
right and perfect imitation
held myself at my sides
and feigned my own mutilation
found this perfect situation
dont know how to
fuck it up
but thats talking-yet
letting in my influence
would crawl into me
swirl in circles
keeping any soul
i had at bay
its all blue eyes
and those stuttered glances
i wont hold you
flit away
so perhaps
im searching desperately
for some patched net to catch me
as i fall from this
into oblivion id theorized into itself
reading books
and i dont understand the titles
staring into the sunset

UNTITLEDWhen leaning over the cool metal of a barrier, into dark trees and darker water, things seem dismal.UNTITLED8 years ago in Teen More Like This
In looking down an expanse of disconnection, being stranded, everything seems hopeful.
People standing in their groups while I stood in isolation.
Cool air nipping at my naked heels, up my exposed legs. Shivering slightly in a well-fitting sweater and perfectly worn down skirt.
My face bright yet downtrodden by fatigue.
With warm ears and a cold nose.
Something I never cared to take note of before.
Sounds like being alone, over an ocean, walking out to sea or such.
And singing througn the darkness.
Wandering under street lamps and wai

for no particular reason
just needing to

well preserved
engrained to tell

sky flowers reaching down
wilting petals to eager eyes
decadence in darkness
sitting in the dirt
surrounded by such small attempts

swinging into tried partnerships
throwing fire to the sky

drawing lines in the sand
with everything illuminated
such trifling words to a page
i laid once in the pavement
my eyes hidden under blanket
and viewed a blossom
stifled awe

ascending futility

I remember angry words
And harsh surprises
Putting up a guard
Instead of breaking down
And I remember
Losing my best friend
I remember the sound
And looking up
Seeing that message
That word that broke my heart
And I remember
Losing my best friend
I remember what you said
And what I did
Both of us stubborn
Defensive and pissed
And I remember
Losing my best friend
I remember talking after
And saying we both care
Talking pretty words
But not doing pretty things
And I remember
Losing my best friend
I remember being friends
And thinking it was over
But things aren't always what they seem
It was never quite the same

Just to know you that you are mine.
It's good times,
Just to know I'm at the end of your rhyme.
It's good times,
That my anxious heart is a part of your design.

Just to know that I am enough;
It's good stuff.
It's good times,
When you make me smile wide without trying.
It's good times,
To taste the salt on your neck when I'm crying.
It's good times,
That you hold my hand when my happiness is dying.
It's good times,
When I know we'll get to play a little rough;
It's good stuff.
Nobody else,
Will ever succeed,
In giving me everything that I need.
Always believe,
And know that it's true,

You fucked with my soul and filled me with shame.
Now I don't know myself and I have you to blame.
And I didn't even stop you.
You used me.
You know what you did, but do you even know why?
Did you even think about me? No, it was all about you.
You fucked with my mind and you didn't think I knew.
Now I'm somebody else and I don't even know who.
And I didn't even stop you.
I hate you.
If you don't realize it yet, you're gonna find out.
Not sure what I'll do, but I guess we'll both see.

A big one, you and me.
And we will have a room,
Where we can watch TV.
And we might have some kids,
And we might have a cat,
And we'll come home from work,
To cuddle while we chat.
And we can lay around,
On lazy afternoons.
And you might leave to get a drink,
But I'd hope you'd be back soon.
And I'll be writing words,
And you'll be drawing Pon,
And you'd miss me if I went to pee,
And I'd miss you while I was gone.
One day, I promise you,
We'll do everything that couples do.

Forever's getting pretty near.
We'll go out Saturdays,
To shop in all the stores.
