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.
Loving hoplessness
Why do I fret?
This roller coaster between black souls.
I try and I try to mend this.
My never ending love unfurling,
only to be left high and dry
No second thought commencing,
I'm left here tired and defending
The love I want so bad.
I'm determined to make this puzzle piece fit
Derailing myself for this love
These broken bones,
this cloak over my eyes.
I'm forced to fight
for something that should be mine.
Why is this so difficult?
To love you forever?
To hold you in my arms always?
I'll give my life for...

I cradle her closely in my arms,
As I love her gently.
The very essence of her scent,
Sent me looping In circles.
I kiss her passionately,
As she whispers such sweet nothing's
Close into my ears.
I find myself smiling
And swollen with tears.
I don't know how this happened,
How I fell so deeply,
For this girl.
But she molds my surroundings,
And shapes my whole world.
She drives me crazy,
In so many ways.
I just want to hold her,
For the rest of my days.
I want nothing more,
Than to make her my...

Freshly carved wounds
Kill me.
Let the light shine it's radiance
And make me fade away.
Let the water rain down,
And snuff me out,
Like the fire I am.
I won't sing songs,
I'll stay silent as you kill me slowly.
I'll sink like the sands
Beneath your tired feet,
As you struggle to gain proper balance.
I have only the wind and the leaves,
To bring my sanctuary.
No glimmer of hope shines
As these shadows,
Try their best to capture my tears,
That are cascading down these eyes.
No one can save me In this realm.

Eradicated thoughts
So many names,
So many faces.
Too many dreams,
So many places.
Life is moving fast,
And I'm afraid
I'm not fast enough.
Under the garments of doubts,
This truth will be revealed.
Everything I know,
Will hang in the balance,
Teetering on success and failure.
Or will the wind carry my chances away?
Will I go down as just another statistic?
The structure of my idealistic firmament,
Will faulter to black skies
Of a tormented, tangled mind.
Explosions won't even lead me to see.
I grow weary of these games,...

She broke me.

Through my fingers.
The sadness plagued me like
Rain crashing down on pavement.
Devastation took it's course.
As my mind twirled in circles,
I could feel my words lose their force.
It never occurred to me
How delicate I truly was,
Until I was "the lilac
That shed its fragrance on her heel"

Hollow reflections
My reflections are hollow
I can only see this callus shell.
Maybe because I'm stuck here,
Wandering this endless hell.
Reality weighs heavy,
As I fight to find my scattered pieces.
I am powerless.
The light in my eyes,
Has vanished so long ago.
A mere shadow of my former self.
I look in every corner,
And I still find no help.
I'm losing strength quickly
My skin is paper thin,
I'm starting to look sickly
And my eyes now full of sin.
I sulk
I grieve
But still, no release.
I'm tired ...
I can only see this callus shell.

Wandering this endless hell.

Awaken, angel.
Either I'm blinded
Or I could never see at all.
I can see flickers of light,
But they all seem so far.
I'm lost here,
Dissipating at the brink of despair.
I against all odds
And this is all so unfair.
How could you possibly think,
That I truly don't care?
Why would I stress?
And why would I cry?
Why would I be wishing,
So badly I'd die?
My life has lost meaning once more,
No motivation,
My face glued to the floor.
I would have done anything,
To make your frowns lift,
Why didn't I see,
This terrible shift?
It...
Or I could never see at all.

The end of purity
The smile was wiped
Clean off my face.
It's been replaced by frowns,
And I feel so disgraced.
I've lost the best thing
To come into my life.
I can't even stand,
Too much of a fight.
Everyone asks, what is hurting me so?
They can all see,
That I've been miserable.
I ask calmly for them to stay clear,
But they force and insist,
To be close, to be near.
Now I scream and I plea,
For them to stay far.
Now they listen,
And alone,
I pour out my heart...
"Fuck him
Fuck this
I'm totally done.
How can...

The green eyed monster
This feeling plagues me
Like a disease,
It eats me alive.
I'm angry, hurt
And made to despise.
It claws at me
And tears me apart.
I can feel it's wraith
As it punctures my heart
It has me under control,
As I'm struggling, fighting
To break through it's hold.
It's hard to breathe now
And it only gets worse
This beast will only be pleased
Once my mind has dispersed.
I try to rise
But it pins me down.
I stare in it's eyes
As my backbone Is drowned
With fear. It's clear to me now
This beast will...
Like a disease,

And made to despise.
It claws at me
And tears me apart.

As I'm struggling, fighting
To break through it's hold.
It's hard to breathe now
And it only gets worse
This beast will only be pleased
Once my mind has dispersed.
