Hand-Selected Slam Poems & Performance Poetry

Words are Weapons
...cuz a bully isn’t always the biggest kid on the playground.
War
...So now they grow up with guns / not realizing they had a voice...
I Am The Me You See...Now
...average is only flesh deep / the real tattoo is beneath the outer sheath...
Ashkenazi
...Dancing around suicide fires like / their only ticket to freedom / was a toe tag...
I Am (a poem about life)
...I am the swollen shiner from life's sucker punches / bloodied noses from left field jabs...
I See You There
...Bringing you to a cataclysmic climax / that will realign the juxtaposition / of the entire solar system...
Fuck You
..​.Can't shake the shakes / Knuckles crack, sweat breaks / And all I have to say is FUCK YOU...
Love Blossomed
...When you came through / everything I thought I knew / was interrupted / like Trojan air by arrows...
He
...Inside rib cages of organs raped of courage / wept hidden tears / of persevered / guilt...
Tornado
...it feels like they ripped liberty right from the statue / a rusty shank carved a dark hue tattoo / in my heart...
The Letter Never Delivered
...just because your attitude shattered chandeliers / into blizzards of glass tears...
Sick
...so sick of wandering deserts with a broken compass / I've done this / far too long...
Cricket Calls
...if men learn to respect the ground / under a woman's hard working heels... 
Strength
...I deserve immunity / from those / one-sided / close-minded opinions / divided and misguided decisions...
Shit & Rainbows
...even if I'm boring now / getting fatter, slower, older now / I'll always be a storyteller...

Poem for Holiday E-Card (Business, Friend, etc.)

Most of my poetry was lost through years of running, using and abusing - it was burned up, snorted up or shot up.

I probably had a verse for every hit I took at some point. With addiction, it doesn't matter what or how much you have when you get clean - it can all disappear in an instant. Flat screen TV's, fancy cars, tropical vacations - I can cook each one of those material things up in a spoon and shoot it in heroin form.
​
Poetry, however, can't be replaced if its lost - poems are not as trivial as a vacation. I can't revive the rhythmic order or linguistic flow of each piece.

Some things were meant to run their course and not be replaced or recreated, I suppose.

But everything happens for a reason, so I give what I have and I'll keep adding more.

This is a list of the slam poetry I have digitally published so far. I didn't want to play favorites so these poems are in completely random order. Have fun checking them out, and if you have any questions you can always email me or hit me on Twitter. I'll constantly be publishing more work here, so please come visit again!
