Short Hitz Poems

An eye for an eye
A lie for a truth
A song for a sigh
A note for a groove

A line for a page
A pen for some ink
A light for a stage
A show for a drink

An app for an age
A web for a site
A chart for a gage
A gig for a bite

A kiss for a chance
A tongue for a taste
A deuce for a dance
A catch for a phrase

An eye for an eye
A lie for a truth 
A song for a sigh 
A note for a groove 

A line for a page 
A pen for some ink 
A light for a stage 
A show for a drink 

An app for an age
A web for a site 
A chart for a gage 
A gig for a bite

A kiss for a chance 
A tongue for a taste 
A Duce for a dance 
A catch for a phrase

Without the silence
There would be no screams
Without the nightmares
There would be no dreams

Without the pleasure
There would be no pain
Without the sunshine
There would be no rain

Without the palms
There would be no grease
Without the wars
There would be no piece

Without the bombs
There would be no youth
Without the lies
There would be no truth

The poet is a song 
But he doesn’t sing 
The poet has nothing 
But offers everything 

The poet is emotion 
His words you can feel 
The poet is motion 
With a moment to steal 

The poet is alone 
In a crowded room
The poet is the messenger 
Who spoke too soon 

The poet is the cries 
And the pain we all feel 
The poet is truth 
In a rhyme to reveal

I reject the rejection 
I’m about to receive 
I reflect the reflection 
Without being seen

I confuse the confusion 
Tie it up in a knot 
I’d dilute the delusion 
But Merlin I’m not

I infect the infection 
With a greater disease 
I detect the detection 
With the greatest of ease 

Disconnect my connection 
Ride it out on my own
I’ll direct my direction 
Then find my way home

Lord,

I've laughed and loved
I've worked and played
I've suffered through heartache
through pleasure and pain

I've battled with demons
I've cried with some saints
I've begged for forgiveness
I've listed complaints

I dropped you a line
I fell to my knees
I've cursed you in anger
And asked for some peace

So please take some time
The name's Billy Hitz
And just let me know
That you really exist

She's the giver of life
She's the queen of hearts
She's a one woman band 
Who played all the parts

She's the gleam in your eye
She's a bright sunny day 
She's the voice of reason
When life runs astray

She's a shoulder to cry on
She's a well needed hug
She's the keeper of kindness
And unconditional love

She's a guardian angel
She's a heavenly soul
And she's loved in our hearts
More then she'll ever know

Oh well another bout 
Here we go again
Just blankly staring at a wall 
As I tap on a pad with my pen 

Pace around for awhile 
To try and catch a phrase 
And try to find a moment 
To fill up an empty page 

Praying for an adjective 
As I stumble on an noun
Looking for a clever rhyme 
But nothing can be found 

Now wait a minute 
I come to life as I start to think
I’m over all this writer’s block
But now my pen ran out of ink

I got a hair pin trigger
Got a holster on my hip
Put a nickel on my needle
So my record don't skip 

My attitude is ugly
There's no beauty in my beast
My attention span is faulty
And my anger has increased

I got a nasty disposition 
Got a thirst I cannot quench
It smells like broken spirit
I can hardly stand the stench

I got a sudden disconnection
Lug the load that's on my mind
I am NOT your great sensation
I'm the son that never shined
