POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
A writer, a realist, observing every angle. No corner will be left in question and no stone set in dirt. The truth must be revealed.
Madness
Awakened from this bitter torment,
Such a sweet sound of solitude I find
Within myself now.
There is no muse who drives my words anymore,
No more tangled strings in my head.
Torn away within myself for so long,
This emancipation is long overdue.
To break my bonds free of every rusting chain is bliss.
And with this, my fire returns.
Generated from the darkest pits of my heart.
Spinning smoke through words once more.
The world again is mine to own.
The skies will not hold me,
Hell will not drag me back.
Yet again a vagabond,...

A letter for a stranger
For you,
I thought you were everything that I wanted.
To think that my soul spent three years bleeding for you. To think I put in every effort to see you smile, just for you to walk away. To drop me like shattered pieces of glass. Glass that reflected for you and you only. To think I would have given my soul away for us. I almost gave you a literal piece of me. I am now scarred by the memories plaguing my heart and mind. That play over in my head like a record on repeat. There was at one point I thought I could hold the skies on my shoulders with you at my side. Now they too...

Oblivion angel
She's so beautiful
Every thread of my soul
Burns in desire for only her.
Every heartbeat in tune for her smile.
This beauty to me,
Ran more than skin deep.
More than the perfect complexion
Of dark eyes and light skin,
Soft lips and flawless hips,
Her flaws spoke to me like no other.
They told me her story,
Without her speaking.
I accepted them as treasures,
That only I could hold.
But I didn't know
She could be so cold.
I didn't know
that she didn't feel the same.
That I was expendable to her.

Yet again....
And here I go again.
Walking this path that never ends.
A perpetual spiral circling me,
A dark path with a dismal glee.
"Hello darkness, my old friend"
As my mind slips away, yes yet again.
Nothing to comfort me for I walk alone,
And once again,
I can feel the cold reach my bones.
A feeling I thought had withered away
Comes back strong on this wet winter day.
But maybe it's my fault,
For denying the warmth.
And believing I'm fine
And not coming fourth
To my faults and my demons
So willing to play.
Who love to...

A place.....
Silence!
Please let me speak.
Let me begin to let this soul leak.
Bleeding out thoughts from every word.
Stop force feeding me thoughts from this
Heavenly sword!
Instead let me take you to a different side,
Where the gleeful only find solace in lies.
Where the wind whips so bitter, cold
And so sly.
A place where the darkness grips you so tight
And the embers of fires the only thing burning bright.
Where the weak slow down and come to a halt
And strong applaud just for the jolt.
The demons they dance just for...

Black prophecy II
I FEAR NO GOD
I've given the fruit
of my soul ever so willingly
to the dark hands of demons,
and phantoms that scream horror
to all those who see them.
Supernatural forces that drive me,
To the darkest depths,
joining hell's armies.
I'm here for one reason,
Domination, black out all light.
I'm here to deliver you.
All of you.
You have become another soul
collected by this prophecy.
Angels can not save you,
their wings will burn
in this paradise of flames.
Their souls will turn black, ...

Never ending
My mind sways in waves
around you.
It concentrates,
and focuses on you alone.
My heart is chained,
engraved with your name,
and only beats for
your beautiful face.
I worry constantly,
that our love will fail
and my heart too frail
to suffer the blow.
One day I dream to
give you my name,
To watch you walk,
down that lane.
Into my arms,
for you to stay,
I never want you to walk away.
In every daydream
and every thought,
you're the only thing,
I truly want.
My vigilant heart,
still rings true,...
around you.

Wandering empty planes
Deeper I plunge in to sadness.
Without you, I'm incomplete.
Depleted of all light
Drowned in the sounds
my ears hear at night.
I wander this red forest
searching for the oak
with all the answers,
If only these trees could talk...
They'd tell me why I wander here
and why I can't seem to shake tears.
Deliver me from this pain.
I'm flowing eccentric
with currents I don't understand.
Nothing makes sense here,
not without you.
This heart weighs heavy
but it only grows empty
without the one it belongs to.
I posses so...

Death of me
I carry this torch
It ignites a path
That usually leads
No where.
Falling through broken
words,
That were meant to cure.
But in time I found,
That they only hurt more.
Hanging by one tethered thread,
I try my best
to re-spin this chord.
And still I get no where.
The joy of motion
has come to a halt.
I should have done something,
But this is all my fault.
My mind overpowered my heart
It's been weighing me down
Right from the...

Blinded and Dizzy
Blinded!!
This light is more
than I can handle.
I'm casting lines out
to anyone that can see.
And to those absent of eye,
I'll find the way out.
There's tragedy chasing me
I can feel it in every turn,
every touch of my hands on
pavement.
I'm dying to find out
Where it is I'm headed.
All these sweet nothings,
Are pilling up.
I'm going crazy,
I'VE HAD ENOUGH!!!
I want to move freely
from these walls.
I'm getting dizzy,
from all these circles.
I just want it to stop.

Washed away with rain
Faceless in a world so bright,
Rain pelting down,
melting away every word spoken.
Every dream cast out,
Broken at every hinge.
This black mask concealing
every thought meant to change this world.
I'm a vagabond,
treading this earth with no direction.
Every haunting scream,
Every broken dream,
Washed away with rain.
All obstacles overcome,
meaningless.
I'm a stick figure,
in this world of vibrant colors
and details.
What meaning do I have?
No love,
no chance to accel,
Just a soul with no say. ...
