The Adventures of Kali the Dog


The alarm sounded and music played. I opened my eyes and stretched in the sunlight. “Another long day ahead,” I thought. I jumped and jumped and jumped on the bed until someone finally woke to rub my belly. I lept to the door to wait impatiently for it to open.
“I gotta go outside,” I whined. I ran around outside, but it was way to cold to play, so instead I will ‘woof’ my way inside and sit by the door. “let me in, let me in,” I woofed. The door swung open, and breakfast was served.
I gobbled down my breakfast as fast as I could; the sooner I finished, the sooner we could play.
I chased Jamie around the house and hopped up on her legs, apparently she did not know it was playtime. The more I hopped, the less I got pet. “I don’t understand,” I thought. “play, play, play” I barked. But no one ever answers me when I talk to them. Sadly, I walked upstairs to go back to bed.
Moments later, Matt came in the room and startled me, therefore I had to attack him! I chased him downstairs, biting at his ankles. Just then I noticed everyone but me, was dressed and ready to leave. “I want to go to,” I whined.
“No, Kali Dog, you have to stay here.”
“Why?” I thought. “Am I a bad girl? Did I do something wrong?” There was no answer to my questions. “I guess they don’t love me anymore” I thought.
Out the door they went. “I must be right.”I woofed. But just in case I was wrong, I raced upstairs to my window to watch them very closely. The cars pulled out of the driveway and I was left all alone. “I want to go for a ride” I whined. As usual no one answered, this time no one was there to hear me.
I sat by the window until both cars were out of sight. I curled up close to my dolly. “At least someone loves me” I thought. But, dolly never answered me either.
“I gotta get outta here” I thought. She quickly raced to the kitchen. “Ah ha, just as I thought, silly Matt left the door unlocked again.”

I hate to be alone

No company I’d seek



You question every word

But search to find the truth



The lies I wouldn’t tell

When there’s no where to hide



I’ve search my soul to find myself

I’m lost in what I’ve found



No answers to my questions

No seek and ye shall find



Confusions seems to seep inside my every pour

Death cannot resolve escape



No one knows the pain I feel

Yet I’ve sought it for myself



I’ve turned away from what I want

To turn into what I need



No one said that it’d be easy

And no one paved the way in gold



Nothing can quench the hunger I feel within my soul



I’m one to follow rules

I’m not one to play the game



I fear what I write

The thoughts themselves in print



If happiness I seek

It’s already been found



I have all I’d ever need

And more then I could want



As the days creep closer

Memories flood the past

I never thought I’d miss

What its clear I’d never had

I still call your name in dreams I seek





I want to be who I am,

Not what your not

One Tree

pOEM: OnE trEe Monday, January 15, 2007

One little tree stands alone

Amongst the stark and empty sky

Amid the grassy pasture

Wildflowers once grew



Each branch stretching aloft

Birds no longer nest within my twisted limbs

My leafy buds have shriveled

My roots lack the sustenance of preservation

Headache

pOEM: hEadache Wednesday, January 10, 2007

The noise within my soul

Shatters every move

The echoes churn within a swollen mind

Light seeps deep inside every pore

And still I seek to feel no more



To lie among the empty seas

And gaze upon the sun

To end the hurricane of winds and rain

In the silence I am numb

Amid the peaceful empty hum
