I feel the need to give a little more information. Most of the poems I've posted so far are about something that takes up a third of my volumes of poetry. The three topics I use most often in poetry are romantic love, personal reflection, ideological views. The one I've used the most is ideological views because I guess I can feel sort of proud of myself but I truly don't like any of my three genres which is why I'm not as ambitious as I think I should be for someone who is so positively re-enforced in this habit (what little friends I have do say I'm good at writing, poetry at least). What I hate about each genre is distinct to it's nature. I find when I write love poetry I feel like a phony because what inspired the poetry never works out so I feel very gullible to my own emotions which seems flimsy and almost certainly must make me look like a man whore. When I write reflective it makes me look self-centered I think you can't write reflective without appearing that way even if it's a form of self-evaluation. But
whereas I don't like ideological poems because it makes me look pious and self-righteous but I look back at the poems I feel proud that what the poem represents is something I truly feel is bigger than myself

Fourth Set of Poems
Grand Senses
Soothing sound of the morning waking bird
Was once the grandest voice I ever heard
But then I heard your soft spoken word
The pure blue sky, spotless and clean
Was once the best sight I'd ever seen
But then you came into the scene
Sweet red wine was once the finest thing to sip
Till I had a taste of your strawberry lips
Soft wool and cotton was once the most pleasurable thing I felt
Until you made my heart melt
Blooming June flowers were once the greatest scent
But I assume this change was meant
Because since you came
Nothing ranks the same
A Hug Of Eternal Passion
Your embrace is a kiss upon my bleeding heart
As my head lies securely on your shoulder
And tenderly kiss your neck and all over
And do all I can for my part
My fingers gently caress your curved spine
Then stroke up upon your silk hair
I look into your eyes and my eternal love is there
My heart is yours and yours shall be mine
Never-ending Morning
Your eyes shine like the dawn of the day
The moment paused in your soul ne'er to fade away
Your voice calms me like the morning dove
Wakening me to your abundant love
I never shall find a better place to stay
Like the horizon
You shine on
To show the beauty on your face
You take me to another place
Where all pain is gone

Third Trilogy of Poetry
Dear God (A Satirical Poem)
Dear God some people say you're not real
Others say you're a three in one package deal
Others say you see all but can't feel
Dear God are you out there
Everywhere
Or nowhere at all
Dear Jesus you were the son of a Jew
But you looked Caucasian from a church's point of view
That I saw on a mural some medieval artist drew
Dear God are you out there
Everywhere
Or nowhere at all
Dear God some say there is free will of man
Others say everything is part of your plan
So whose blood is on whose hand
Dear God are you out there
Everywhere
Or nowhere at all
Dear God some say you bless a chosen race
Others say you just help Olympians win first place
But then how come so many exist by your grace
Dear God I know you're out there
Somewhere
Please call

Aquarium
Autistic and numb
Mistaken for dumb
Shelled inside an aquarium
Watching people stare as they come
No one can understand cause they can't communicate
No relative no soul mate
Foreign creatures, foreign place no way to relate
Living alone is the hardest thing to tolerate
American Socialism
Everyone can have a gun but not a job
What else can you expect but an open mob
People pay unions to get a raise and job security
Health care with bureaucratic red tape and pensions you'll never see
You're only as free as the will you are born with
But the government acts like it's giving out free gifts
You fight for a First Amendment Right Congress is paid to protect
So anything you say the Supreme Court will interject
You are jailed and deported for fighting for equality but not for war
Why do we have to kill to have something to die for
The Rich get interest while the Poor pays banks deficient
Paying millionaires for nothing as the Poor pay every cent
Poor families trapped in low income neighborhoods
Not enough tax money to get entitled goods
No education, police, running water, no second chance
Just millionaire politicians and corporations in a far off distance
They are the ones living free
They can afford the luxury
Now that you see the power of money
Can't you tell this ain't a socialist society
Dear God some people say you're not real
Others say you're a three in one package deal
Others say you see all but can't feel
Dear God are you out there
Everywhere
Or nowhere at all
Dear Jesus you were the son of a Jew
But you looked Caucasian from a church's point of view
That I saw on a mural some medieval artist drew
Dear God are you out there
Everywhere
Or nowhere at all
Dear God some say there is free will of man
Others say everything is part of your plan
So whose blood is on whose hand
Dear God are you out there
Everywhere
Or nowhere at all
Dear God some say you bless a chosen race
Others say you just help Olympians win first place

Man's Best Friends: An Animated Sitcom
Man's Best Friend is about a man named Brian Becque who works as a freelance writer who is diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, which also in the case of the show means he can communicate with the animals that live with him in his apartment (which allows the pets). Brian in fact gets most of his social and professional advice from his pets despite each pet being a little neurotic. There is Mike the dog with attention deficient disorder, the cat Thomas with obsessive compulsive disorder and a hamster David who is paranoid depressed who all try to help him woo the local librarian Elizabeth. Also I will release the tv pilot scene by scene in later blogs
