POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Silence
silence ringing
I shed these words,
of these cold bodies
burnt to crisp.
shed these words
move along
silence irritating, I hear nothing
she screams a song
out to me
echoes in a cold feast I hear her scream
I hear nothing
nothing
silence deafening
I shout out an echo
screams fill my head the ringing
torturing
a small scream inside my head
an afterthought
a small voice whispering
right after
right after
I shed these words
I leave this skin
behind
a thoudsand a million,
these thoughts seem the...

ocean
I stare...
Into the sea
cold metal
staring
I look
through these bars, head aching,
cold shots
the burning sun the gleaming, the sun
blinding me
blinding me,
a thousand
different voices all matching up
align in a new symmetry they align
as I watch
staring
I look
through these bars, head aching,
cold shots
the burning sun the gleaming sun
blinding me
....Skin melting, a hot sweat
diziness as I stand, ....
the oceans scent, a cold shot ears ringing, head throbbing.

Scared
want to say everything,
a blunt statement,
a hope,
want to show you everything.
the only person I can see
the only one
threatened by people trying to protect,
I wonder if you care,
wonder if I can make things better,
and I keep just saying things
and I keep just getting
nothing.
nothing at all,
these things, why can't I control myself?
why can't I just fucking stop?
just stop?
Don't know... I don't know...
I lost.
can't calm myself,
and I can't restart,
I can't do anything.
so hard to listen

Picture
Your eyes tired,
cold expression,
Brings warmth.
Small flaws form perfection.
Hold you close,
a cold screen against my lips.
Transfer harshly on paper,
a fantasy
in this hot room.
A frozen expression,
Search the eyes.
Wonder if it’s real
face, frail, yet firm
eyes a wandering shape, colorless in this small frame
cold expression,
Brings warmth.

Change
Two strangers in old writings, overly formal, lost in chain
head twisted; body caught in lies.
Selfishly placed thoughts-faith this irony haunts me, intentions were riddled with self.
Still,
I hold these dreams
I hold this faith
I throw away the original goal,
You are my friend
We will have that day.
I promise you the joy.
Ignorance thrown in these messages I send to you
everything inside.
Burn the excuses let the fabrications rot
burn this bullshit
burn these pathetic lies
Let it...

one day
Just want one day...
sitting in the sun
as the warmth crawls across our cold eyes,
I want all of our worries to drift away
in a cloud of smoke
I want you to be my friend.
to feel the warmth
across skin as we sit
by a window,
The sun gleaming
staining our faces, I want to walk with you around this dingy town...
to show you the places I have been
places I have lived
want a day,
sitting in the sun
the light would burn our eyes...
and all of our worries would drift away in a cloud of smoke
we would be......

Lie
Tv is blaring
sitting alone
mind exploding
heart racing
How fast how slow can I make everything
take another pill
out of the decoritive case
throw into my mouth
take another pill
create another smile
I feel like I'm on fire
take another
no sense
of memory
no sense of time
dry in my throat
slip down
with the right amount
drink it all up with
little pills
hidden
throwing my mind
if I steal
will you forgive
if it is today
can it also be
every other day
can you make a promise
if I can...

accept
She crawled in skin
she, so fond of comfort
thrown away.
deep in earth
her lies
slowly spoken
her soft words rattled my mind
fragile bones
broken bones
her eyes glowing
her eyes showing
showing whatever she felt
at that moment
there is no happy
there is no childish loving game
her hand
sliding down my neck
the way she tried
not so hard
not so bad
not desperate
gleaming
in whatever she chose to dress
in a way
that had no meaning
a way
the girl who spoke to me
the person who accepted...
she, so fond of comfort

Heal
A formal anticipation
A moment of attraction
emotions cling
A physical movement
A partial flow
end the excitement
stall the visitors
kill the eyes
emotions still
A flying angel
A bat like screech
wings leave
Throw away the bottles
Burn it all
A form of sickening depravation
Throw away the dirt
Burn the body
Still the words
Stop the tears
Fast glow
stop
A moment of attraction
emotions cling
A physical movement
A partial flow
end the excitement
stall the visitors

Burn it all

Throw away the dirt
Burn the body
Still the words
Stop the tears
Fast glow

Away
a dark room,
cold and bland.
a sharp sense.
agitated voices.
words that are all lies.
scenarios building up to this masquerade.
nothing is correct nothing is right
it can never be wrong
I stand
watching in silence
as the voices pass
watching
How many people are just like the next?
how many are just simply fake?
a lie passed out so generally...
in hopes one will believe
I will engage in you conversation
but there is nothing to say.
every word is gone you just gave it all away
must not care...
Only serve

screams
screams..
not so subtle.
screams,
struck out every hour.
the moans and tears
never felt real...
hands on a perishable thought,
fragile skin underneath the warmth of a thousand.
this moment
thoughts never felt real...
I hit you.
I hit you.
again and again in an emotionless rage.
tears are flowing I cannot find the reasoning
can barely stand.
can barely breathe.
my fist is covered in blood.
my ring is broken.
I fall to the ground.
tears are endless, still I cannot find a reason.
there is no...

I'm Sorry
Dominating glare, sinks in
words flashing.
words falling.
so many of which could pass off of these lips
still...
silence is mutual.
hands trembling .
fierce meaningless conversations
leave memory.
hard to see,
reality is dead
nothing left.
hard to say,
awakening blur...
numbing sense.
drink it all away.
forget it all...
dancing shadows
all grabbing
all reaching
as they sing their song...
they sing.
a twisted sense,
a shallow simulant...
awakens the mood
reaches far beyond.
sweat in the...
