POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
The voices inside
Close your eyes and see
hold your tongue to hear
shut your mind to be free
let go of all you hold dear
Keep your thoughts to yourself
show them nothing but lies
know your greed is not wealth
suffer all you despise
Wear your mask with pride
watch the world as it burns
keep the horrors inside
fear the voices may return .
hold your tongue to hear
shut your mind to be free
let go of all you hold dear
Keep your thoughts to yourself
show them nothing but lies
know your greed is not wealth
suffer all you despise
Wear your mask with pride
watch the world as it burns
keep the horrors inside
fear the voices may return .

The Beast Within
It's spirit hides deep within me
i hear it's whispers from the dark
cruel emotions that rule so fiercely
the damage done has left it's mark
My fear and anger are intertwined
the beast within pulls the strings
like a puppet for the mastermind
a slave to the darkness that it brings
I am the apple with a rotten core
ripe for my own intimidation
my soul a battleground of an endless war
the curse of this beasts manipulation.

The Beast of man
Thick as the velvet darkness
hungry like your hearts desire
consumed by the void of madness
brought to life by ritual fire
Driven by my own destruction
scarred with an old arthame
full of fear and corruption
in the shadows i will reign
To the cold and unfeeling
bring your sacrifice to me
when i am done with the feeding
cut my chains and set me free
I will kill to fill my chalice
claiming souls of the sweet and cruel
the whole world will know my malice
my thirst for blood is unquenchable.

I bleed
I stand here and i bleed
but i feel no shame
i cried for help
and nobody came
To purge the sickness from my veins
i cut to feel for just a little while
covered from head to toe in crimson stains
old battle scars from nothing worthwhile
So i sit here and i bleed
but i feel no shame
i cry for help
you lay the blame
No more sitting at this screen
a million strangers at my fingertips
so many lost souls short on esteem
sick of this life and our little
dictatorships
I lay here as i bleed
my thoughts they...

I am alone
I feel
but i wish i didnt
i cry
but nobody see's
i talk
to electronic strangers
i hope
some understand me
I wish
for a little friendship
i fear
for my sanity
i stare
at the walls closing in
i need
a little company.

The end of my rope
Deep into the darkness i roam
all my deamons guide my path
lost in time and far from home
forever i run from my own wrath
As i wade through shadows past
i see the pain of my reflections
the deep that this darkness casts
is the abyss of my imperfections
I dare not dream on what could be
for those dreams are beyond all hope
i hide all feeling so none can see
that i am at the end of my rope.

No Humanity
The wonders of this world are dying
all love and dreams have turned to dust
families huddle behind Their four walls crying
afraid of the world and unwilling to trust
Outside there is the riots and the burning
flashing sirens in time with the screams
scratching ,biting ,shooting ,fighting
there is no humanity in such extremes
The end is near and it's death thats coming
i write this note to say goodbye
goodbye to the world that was warm and loving
how much i miss you already i cant quantify.

Valkyrie
Suns fire dances with braids and ribbons
ten thousand strands make her golden crown
with saphire eyes and a heart thats driven
and great beating wings that make no sound
This demigod who gets to choose the fallen
through the fog of battle she comes to ground
Placing her shining spear upon the chosen
greeted with with honor ,She makes them proud
Oh my valkyrie please hear my calling
Grant my old soul a warriors death
sing my songs in the hall of valhalla
i will sing of your beauty as i take my last breath.

The Last Journey
No help for i was lost
search but you won't find me
i cant remember where i crossed
or if i indeed came here freely
I see nothing but the darkness
trapped in the fortress of my mind
i have to know is this my madness
have all my demons intertwined
So i search for the hidden meanings
my dark reflections won't let me be
my lessons learnt like old recordings
faint are the whispers that speak to me
Now i find peace within the darkness
night times cloak engulfs my mind
i am beyond the world of crisis
the world of light i've...

Hearts desire
Candle lights dance and flicker
hot breath on skin to tantalise
soft lips gently kissing
sensual whimpers that softly cry
wicked eyes that are teasing
guilty pleasures on display
bodies grinding in endless rhythm
for my hearts desire i will obey
hot breath on skin to tantalise
soft lips gently kissing

wicked eyes that are teasing
guilty pleasures on display
bodies grinding in endless rhythm

Memories from the void
Sitting here in the void
watching old memories on repeat
wanting to hug the little boy
to keep him safe from this defeat
flashing forward a few years
this young man has lost his boyhood
still with the beatings and the tears
told of love but only knowing falsehood
watching the dark invade he's mind
the pain has now lost it's fear
surrounded by the deaf and blind
nobody cares to interfere
Razor blades enter the scene
little cuts of guilty pleasure
confidence plummets into a ravine
and so death becomes his...

The End.
The sun dies and now no place is safe
this world ablaze shall burn no more
twisted and cursed like an angry wraith
that feeds on the evils that you adore
All hopes and dreams of man have died
chaos spreads now the seven sins rule
no escaping the fact that your leaders lied
you played the sheep ,You played the fool
The horsemen ride out to claim their prize
your world grows cold as they descend
time to make your peace and say your goodbyes
for there is no escaping the horrors of the end
this world ablaze shall burn no more
twisted and cursed like an angry wraith
that feeds on the evils that you adore
All hopes and dreams of man have died
chaos spreads now the seven sins rule
no escaping the fact that your leaders lied
you played the sheep ,You played the fool
The horsemen ride out to claim their prize
your world grows cold as they descend
time to make your peace and say your goodbyes
for there is no escaping the horrors of the end
