Poetry		  

Michael Sunlitis is a very deep and gifted poet. He has a maturity beyond his years. He has an intellectual capacity that astounds me and even challenges me. His love of literature is shown in his works and hopefully we will hear about this young man for many years in the future. He is truly a survivor yet has maintained his gentle spirit with a dignity and sense of honor I find surprising for someone so young.

~ I Wish ~

I wish there was a little place I could go to sleep this off.
If there was a word I could say
To make the sorrows go away
I would use it.

I wish there was a tomorrow to look forward to in
a city so violent
In another way. Another day
My word so silent would laugh and parade
So far away.

I wish I could sail the ocean
Under the wave, void, and emotion
Would feeling and love and all those things
We were promised could save
Brings us only the grave.

I wish the others would become my lovers
And dance, and smile, walking the mile
Losing words to say
Won't you sit awhile and touch my hand
And we'll carry crosses and count the sand.

With a little money comes a razor
I'll find my honey in the corner
Against a wall her friends will call
But I know the place to go
In a cold bed painted red
Coming Home
Empty, Asleep, and Alone
Will she cry?
Or will she leave without saying good-bye?









~ The Streets ~

After hours we will meet
Come to cure these dreams
Without the world I'll sleep

Around here there's the whip
Blood speaks softly and pain is my voice
Looking at people who have a choice.

Oh we are tired
And the streets have a name
A gun is fired
A soul retired

With an attitude
We can talk
With a purpose
We walk

With boredom we chill
Out of passion we kill

The rich, weak, strong, users, and children
All made to scatter
As the trigger is pulled faster and faster.





~ When The Hours Fail To Keep ~

Things aren't the same
A thousand times older,
Listening for a familiar name
Calling you is all I can do
Calling Black, Hearing Blue, hold her.

What a drag it is loosing track
Of the days we once knew

Enough friends were there to say
How better to kill the day
Never is how to sleep
When the hours fail to keep
A dry place were we all can let it go
When the children find a place to stay
That time doesn't take away, then below
Ghosts are over our beds
Ancient days will haunt our heads
And loneliness is all we'll know
Then who will remember us at our best
When no longer we are
Bodies above the rest?






~ You Never Gave Me A Chance ~

You never gave me a chance
I'd touch you
You'd turn away
Never wanted to stay
Far from joy and under the gray.

Call me if you want to talk
I'd live just to hear
My best to you I hold
And all I want is you near
Times apart comes the cold
Times apart parting old.

Never is the word feared most
Never will I entertain your ghost
Believe when I say your on my mind every day
Believe me I'd do anything, but walk away
Please Don't. Don't Walk Away.

If we get a little closer
nothings gone
But the moments spent waiting
awaiting the new dawn
Spelling out regrets then letting them fade away
but never will I lose the grief
I took the moment you turned away
Please Don't turn away.




~ I Wish I Has A Family Again ~

I wish I had a family again
Can't stop thinking of when
All was right and they were proud

I wanna show them
I aint a good for nothing
I can't believe it
I stopped the loving

Loneliness I feel with regret
Hating everything is what I get
I'll take my lot but I won't forget
Or will I wake up one day and have forgotten

I wanna show them something
I'm a good/ good for nothing
I care about anything
That doesn't care about me

Candle light the way
I can't stay happy anyway
I don't need helpful ears a weight
With good intentions hate

My losses in this sorry state
No time to stop the fall I can't hit the brakes



~ Summer Girls ~

Arise stars, sun, and skies.
Can no longer see the smoke in my eyes.
Looking at souls at play free from gray.
Terror in lives of error murdered minds frayed.
Sweet scents and brown curls.
I'm feeling you summer girls.
And taking a look at bodies off the hook.
Crossing the street to take a second look.
Their keeping clever cunning in their walk.
Fireflies burn to hear them talk.
But I don't open up to listen.
Or give something up I'm missing.
Fearing fate like a heavy weight.
Breaking the cell and cracking the slate.
I''ll keep love off awhile.
Reaping the red on the mile.



~ The Magician ~

Out of the tarot card fold.
Stands the gray magician old.
Counting his calendars.
Counting his signs.
Beholding his matters.
And singing his lines.

Now he tries to tame.
A reason long since lame.
Carrying a stone.
Written with superstition.
Over talismanic tones.
Watch the words reposition.

They speak now, third stanza.
The worlds ugly mantra.
Why is there no more mystery?
Why must my brother die?
In a family of history.
I'll keep his book warm, I''ll keep his book dry.






~ Heroin Kills A Memorial
To Bob, Jay, and Jeff
My Friends ~

Death becomes us
And do I care?
Names I know
Now disappear
Less are left
And less will be still
Closer to a breath
That had it's fill.

Moveover lost
Or were never there
To begin with
I can afford the fare
When I can't afford to live.

They smile in my mind
I know we're all out of time
I don't care who dies
No more than I care who buys
For ones suceed were others tried
To by the still waters lie.
