Be a published poet

in a real book, not a literary magazine that no one in their right mind reads.

Constructing an image….... a trance of Wonder,
Feeling ….crazy with heart all Asunder,

My eyes, yes they’re closed, but in ways they are open,
Thoughts and emotions my mind, a commotion!

Through night, through day, through love, through hate,
I’m here, I’m there, to agree and relate,

I feel close yet your far,
Heart feels full of tar,
Its beat in a rhythm,
A tympanic euphony,
Silent….
Almost Violent

Controlling my heart, my life, my soul….....

blessed is a choice
and by his power i stand
born as an innocent boy
but quickly conformed to this world made by man
heard many cries of “yes i can”
followed by the ignorant cries of no he aint
but my dream was to be a poet not an artist
so i let paper be my canvas while words be my paint
im not da same but extremely different
and i determine if i can or if i cant
cause i blessed with da ability to write
so watch my words be come paint

Put down the clip
let down my hair
here’s a new
theme of a truth or dare
make me feel laughter
make it feel cold
i wanna play this
until i get old

knowing its fishy
knowin its wrong
i’ll break the rules
and youll go along

make you feel guilty
make you feel sprung
how long we do this
as long as were young

my bodys
sweating
my bodys hot
next thing its raining
your hitting the spot
once I start kissing
once my arms hold
I turn your anger
and you get the gold

waiting for pleasure
waiting for scenes
I wanna do this
you like in between

make me feel better
make it last long
knowing its right
even knwoing its wrong

Put down the smokers
feel my heart beat
give me impressions
an you take a seat
i wanna teach you
i wanna know
give me a reason
to not let you go

Make it last longer
make me worth why
I wanna know you
im not that shy
i can do all this
jus show me how
you no you want me
i want you now

Put down the bottle
give me a glare
here’s a new theme
for a truth or dare
Show me whats really
show me whats right
like when its over
now its fight

show me your feelings
show me you care
ill do a dance
if you sit in my chair

Love me just right
do like you should
tell me a secret
just like you would

Blow me some kisses
touch me so soft
once I get on you
i wont get off

Do it so slowly
make me feel glow
all that I’m seeing
all that I show

Please don’t be gentle
don’t be so rough
make it feel easy
dont make it tough
my bodys weaker
sensitve too
all of my body’s
depending on you

make me feel laughter
make me feel care
all that I’m needing
you know you are there

Put down the clippers
take off the glare
here’s a new theme
of a truth or dare

Back in August of 2007 I finally decided I was going to get serious about my writing and started producing new material for the first time in three years. I began submitting to print and online literary journals in February of this year, and since then five of my poems have been picked up by four different magazines.

All I’ve wanted since I was ten years old was to see my work in print. And now I have :-D

does anyone else that wants to be published want to make a career out of this?

just out of curiousity.

yeah im not in the whole write poetry mood anymore hell i gave that up years ago god i suck

I cannot promise you a lifetime or even a day,
What I can offer is simply… ME
For whatever amount of time we can steal.
I offer you laughter… for laughter is beauty.
I offer you honesty… Hor honesty is pure.
I offer you Patience… For patience is needed to gain trust.
I offer sincerity… For through my sincerity I will show you my inner desires.
All I ask for in return is that you do the same for me.
Then we will both be sharing equal amountsa of love.
