Poetry:
Creativity on a Roll
Preface
My book, “Creativity on a Roll”, is all about using your creativity and imagination. Let it run wild, let it be free. What I like about poetry is that you can use metaphors to express your true feelings. It is amazing how you can communicate through emotions. I hope you readers enjoy, and can relate to these poems.
My Thoughts
I like to write about whatever that’s on my mind
Life’s not a videotape, you can’t just fast forward and rewind
It takes time, it’s fine
Just try not to think about it
How can I sleep at night? My mind is throwing a fit
So please sit, and let me introduce you to my mind
I promise something is on it all the time
Even the little-less bit of stress gets to me
It creeps up on me when I’m not looking
Look at all this time that it took me
Earthquake, it shook me wide awake
Can’t close my eyes, can’t take a break
It always takes the best of me
Oh and where’s the rest of me?
Everyday, I day dream
It’s a part of me that gives me natural creativity
If I could control it, just roll it, up
And tuck it away
I wouldn’t be writing the poems I write today
Please get out of my face
I really do need my space
I gave you my trust
You blew it like a lit candle
Guess it was too hot to handle
Sit it on the mantle
Before you get burned, and turn, the table
And I start to Fable
Yes, I am able
I’d hook it up, but I don’t have the cable
Let’s make it a lawsuit, a case
Found guilty?
Let’s ditch this place
My thoughts are taking over
A star, a supernova
Up in the sky, looking down at me
Telling me who, and what to be
My thoughts, they run through my mind
Everyday, every single time
My mind is racing with beautiful rhymes
All of it’s priceless
It’s not the money
But simply the time that was spent
It’s my true passion, lights flashin
Heart racin’, I’m pacin
All the words like a dictionary
Only if I had a canary
To sing every word I spoke
Every word I wrote
All my thoughts being put on paper with ink
I’m drowning in the pool of words, of poetry
I can’t swim, but the words are helping me float
No needs for a boat
I’m truly inspired, with love and desire
I can’t put this fire out
It’s heaping higher and higher
Words flowin through my head
A boat on a lake of vocab
That I must have
I’d pay, but I purposely lost the tab
In the lake, when I was fishin
For a word that rhymes with flock
Well, I guess a flock is a mockery of a gentleman’s insecurities
I must not have dollars, cause that does not make sense
But the time that was spent
Is priceless, it will get you verbally rich
My thoughts are made of inspiration and creativity
What has gotten into me?
What could it be?
A mystery?
Call Sherlock Holmes, get him on the phone
My thoughts are ticking like a clock
A bomb, tick tock
There’s a knock, on the door
Next to the window, on the fifth floor
Did you have enough, or do you want more?
Like an apple, eat it to the core

Cold Friday Night
I throw my hands up, and surrender
Too many fakes, too many pretenders
Too many fender benders, on the road
Cars slamming into poles
Where does the story go? I don’t know
It’s a cold Friday night
The moon, so bright, shining with delight
Higher than a kite, the stars take flight
You will never quiet understand
Till someone takes your hand
And shows you, have the cold wind blow through
No name tag, no one even knows you
It’s a cold Friday night
I’d sue but I don’t have a lawyer
You must work here cause you’re dressed as an employer
He has the power, he is the destroyer
She’s fallin, cause she has no hands to hold her
She forgot all the words you ever told her
So what can I do? Pretend all this time that I was never teaching you?
And lie? And to my surprise, that is exactly what you want me to do
What’s gotten into you?
It’s a cold Friday night
I wanna make you understand, so take me hand
We’re leaving, you need me
It’s a cold friday night

Can you relate?
Is there anyone out there that I can relate to?
I want to be just like you
I just want to feel human again
Can we relate? If not please pretend
So I can feel okay, in a positive way
Just for a day, say you understand
And comprehend
So tell me do you get me?
On a scale of 1 to 10
Let’s take this ride for a spin
Like a text message press send
I want to be in the right state of mind
But sometimes I find myself on the left side in a bind
I am, from time to time
I get a rhyme, and eventually
Something has gotten into me
And if you can’t see
Then I guess I am hiding them too well
That’s not me, and if you knew me well you would know
You never know how high you can feel till you just got too low
Can you relate?
Can you feel the pain rushing through you body?
Making it ache?

Deadly Traveler
You’re lost, you want to take a different path?
If you do, it’s gonna cost
And before you leave the office, I ma have to phone your boss
Oh, and by the way all of the maps have been tossed
So how will you get home?
You better hitch hike a piggy back ride
Like surfing in the ocean, you riding high tide
Why do you think birds fly?
Yes, they too, wonder what lays the other side
So before you go all Christopher Columbus
You need to learn where the road is
Because this is a strange town
No one like you around
How funny does that sound?
Like a bullet to the head, chest to the ground
Yes, he’s the best around
As we burry your body in the forest, where you’ll never be found
Why yes, you are the best
Getting caught just like the rest
What a crap, a mess
On your knees, in the mud, in a wedding dress
Your ticket, my arrest
Who’s the deadly traveler?
Can you take a guess?
