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.
The calmness in the rain
The sun vanishes
Behind clouds that dominate
Like happiness in a pessimist.
You don't see it proliferate.
I indicate how important it is to smile
Yet it's a paradox for me,
it only happens once in a while.
I start to feel the rain come
and wash my senses away
when it rains it pours because
it doesn't stop all day.
My mood is dragged down
And now it's hard to stay awake
My eyes close and I start to
feel no pain.
I suppose I'm getting old
because I've found calmness in the rain.

Ira & Luxuria
My life had ended abrupt.
By the time I realized it,
I stood upon the almighty clouds
And before the golden gates
Wishing for acceptance.
One by one,
People were granted
everlasting peace.
It was amazing to see
angels obtain their wings
I was getting closer
I saw in a distance
as rose pedals fell in grace
How can one resists such excitement?
When denial is dealt by a another mouth.
it was my turn now
To accept eternal joy
To live in peace forever
That is-until I fell from the clouds.

Requiem
I cower afar
As I burn my bridges.
I stand on land
While I figure a way out
I tear down every wall
That defends my doubt
I let all go
As I chase away shadows,
Nothing will stop me
From cleaving the skin
on my throat.
I clear my area
To declare my departure
From this world.
I scream my secrets
That follow silence.
Don't cry to me,
I won't listen.
I've made up my mind.
One more time,
I tell all I love
my love for them.
I lust for an afterlife
Requiem.

A thought to sit on
Under the starlight
I view the universe.
I sit to think
Just how small I am.
My melancholy mood
Weighs heavy on my heart.
As I stare at the abyss,
I imagine the beauty
of explosions in the sky.
Yes, my mind had wandered
to the other side.
How fragile life really is.
I realize this now.
One question still remains
How can life be so fragile,
yet so complicated at once?
I haven't figured it out
I don't know if I ever will.
I'll just keep living.

Torn away
To think that you could have been.
Scaring me to death
and driving me to wits end.
I planned, I strive to change for you
I had to grow up quicker than I wanted to.
You sat deep inside my beloved.
A seed, unexpectedly planted.
And before I knew it, you were gone.
I swore you were going to be my baby girl
I swore I was to do right
But the thread of your being was torn away
'Tis why I sit here scorned today.
Rest in peace my child unborn.

That gut wrenching feeling
What has dawned upon me?
This wrenching feeling in my gut.
Like someone flipped a switch
It settled so abrupt.
My silence no salvation,
For this has grown within.
I can't control this feeling
And I feel that I have sinned.
These tendril tickle my stomach
And my digestion now slides up,
It's hard to hold food down
And I feel I've had enough.
I close my eyes to calm myself
But the darkness is no friend,
This antsy feeling drives me crazy
I wish this would all just end.
I pace in circles to stop my mind
But clarity is no...

In the mind of a reject
Forever branded as a reject
The blood that runs through
Is sacred to the last drop
I stand the last of my kind
Yet, I receive no relief
No love, no acceptance
I only ask for reverence
To fuel my motivation.
My life a calamity
I try my best to overcome
With no clear sign of "family"
Alone as always
I stand as one
A child born into ice
Forced to be nice
But where does this get me?
How can I smile forever?
This will never get me anywhere
I need information
I must learn to become
Better...

Capture me under your crown
Make me burn in your decree
My defenses are down
For I swim in your endless sea
I'm a rouge in your kingdom
And I'm branded with endless sins
A superior undertake of power
Which I conceive
Forced into your sacred tower
And made to believe
your lies
and cunning ways
I'm stuck here
Wishing for river styx
while my eyes are closed, my dear.
For i'm stuck betwixt
Confused for my purpose
and the melody my life carries
My anthem defies all you show
slaying all that you...

A thought while silent
Silence will haunt
the archetypal.
Where as I thrive
in the dead quiet
and the thickest
of shadows,
I drive insanity
to a new level
of complex.
Hear the phantom
scream in the wind.
passing through the confines
of the humble mind
Sensuous greed for the
end of the chain,
death.
A type of fear
that everyone faces.
yet, an inevitable truth.
Yes, a new level of insanity
and retrospect of silence
in the mind of the silent.

An intricate resist
I hear them calling
voices falling
so
intricately
into
my
ears
Pulling apart
and molding my mind
to their liking
can I overcome the damned?

A thought while falling
I bask in the thought that
I might mean something
to someone
I look at the stars for answers.
I'm wasting away slowly
Dissipating my heart
hoping someone will collect the pieces
I stand at the edge of the end
The horizon of an inevitable truth,
painful as all hell.
I count my blessings and throw them away
hoping, praying endlessly for plagues
And at the edge of this brink,
I clip my own wings
To fall without hope
I spiral with eyes closed
No longer shall I hide
From the shadows of time
Or the grip of fear
I set...

Where I stand in between
I hinder all around me
They hit the ground surrounding
I only wish to resolve this conflict
Bloodshed being my only way
I'm itinerant, trying to keep the peace
and remain unseen.
The skies seem to have fallen
And chaos reveals it's teeth
Angels clash with demons
And I stand in between
A struggle for dominance
and neither side will lean
The saddest of sorrows
A dark sight to see
Even in this place
That I stand in between
I saw her descend
Floating down lifeless
Her light was sucked dry...
