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.
Silent Sorrows
Sitting here alone with my thoughts
I ponder what it's like to smiles
Not a broken facial feature
But a true bodily gesture
I can't chase away what holds me down
Maybe my mind has got the best of me
This blade looks so inviting
As it reflects light
I can see as the blade smile
Oh how good it would feel to break skin
To draw blood
To sit and watch as it puddles up
It's hard to resist
But desires must be held back
Emptiness fills my chest
And blank stares reach so distant
Quietly I observe the world around me ...

Vengeance
I felt fear grip my soul.
I stood on these sands toe to toe
With a demon so strong
He faced me with crimson eyes
And a twisted smile
His wings hung down with dominance
Souls could be heard for miles.
I felt a stab at my confidence
When I saw his potency rise
I stood my ground
He drew near
Closer and closer
My eyes kept focus, locked and clear.
I tracked his movements
Slow and patient
I stood in question, clueless
His claws urged for the darkness of my soul
I had no weapon, no defense
His breaths left a trail of fiery...

Fallen; Dark Passenger
Spiraling downwards
She hits the ground
Laying in pain
I hear her sounds
She cries in despair
As she reaches out
I see a light, not too far off
Souls flee through a narrow crevasse.
I feel my soul start to rise
Freedom is near.
For her corpse lay bloody
I leave this dark place in fear.
Jousted into the afterlife
I see her lay lifeless
As others wander,
I stay and try to revive her.
Demons circle and lurk
I try to wake her, I do not look.
Before I know it,
A demon strikes.
He slashes my soul ...

My friend lonely
When will this rain stop?
It has been pouring for days,
The streets are all lined with a wet dreary glaze.
I stare at the sky as it keeps coming down,
This is my life lately, stuck under a cloud.
How long can I drift?
How far will I go?
It seems that i'm trapped here,
Deep under sorrows.
I have to remind myself, "It's only rain."
But the water pours down, breathing it's name.
I watch with grey stares as it continues to fall.
I start to get tired, my head presses the wall.
I start to pace with anxiety, back and forth. ...

Dark Possession
And so she walked in stride.
Her smile so gentle, yet fueled by pride.
Her gorgeous eyes so taunting,
Fall upon me.
I lay weakened by her presence,
And more so by her recent blow.
Moments ago, her motions flowed.
Against me, she becomes irate.
Hence why I lay here at her feet.
She is my guardian.
Her power dominant.
the same dark angel who saved me,
Now wishes to end me.
Simply a Dark Passenger,
Our power clashes,
I am no match for her,
Yet I dare to resist.
I am to be taken by her.
Her hand wraps...

Finding new life
Torn apart at the seams
A fire is born
It ignites, so bright
Lust flows so evenly through my veins
Intent in my heart,
to conquer this flame.
To put myself together again
I find tides of reprise
There is no turning back tonight
I discover my downfall
Trying to overcome,
i rush through falling leaves
The path unraveled before me
It vanishes so quickly
Desires overwhelm my greatest fear
For I am a dark passenger
drifting so freely through the wind
I have gone rouge
No one can hear my...

Spinning in the dark; My up rise.
Spinning in a circle of confusion
My hands shake with fear
My eyes so weary, open and close
What is this place?
Why am I lost?
I wander in light, in search for start
Spinning, spinning in the dark
It is hard to keep my eyes open
For I can now see clear.
i can't hold on, 'tis so easy for most.
My mind wanders through time and space,
but only at what cost?
I wander the night, in search of spark
Spinning, spinning in the dark.
I spend my time simply hoping
That someone will save me my dear.
Someone please help me, my needs...

Breaking death's grasp; My guardian
I sit here alone
My mind in shambles.
I watch as the rain
flows down and crashes.
Such an indelicate sight.
The sky is dull,
much like a jaded knife.
I close my eyes
to make this go away.
It chases my thoughts.
It is relentless.
It doesn't stop.
the cold wraps it's hands around me.
Soon enough,
It finds it's way under my skin.
I shiver to shake it away,
It has already set in.
How much longer can I endure?
I can find no safe route,
no safe cure.
The pigment in my eyes,
it has lost it's light.
My gaze now...
My mind in shambles.

Alone with my demons
It seems I'm completely lost in my broken emotions
My fires burning out, depleting my emotional ocean
How do I keep going?
It seems like nothing's working
My head is underwater
My hand is sticking out
No one seems to bother
My mind is full of doubt
My demons,
They claw at me,
So ferociously.
I try my best to plead,
But they just claw and laugh with glee
"Please, Oh please let me go.
I can release you from your bonds.
There is no reason to slash me with your claws."
There is no talking.
They...

My goddess of dreams
Oh goddess release me
You're ever so pleasing
I cannot bare
I cannot share
For you are mine
I have no time
You must listen
For this shall be quick.
Your body shines,
a million knives
Your eyes so dark,
My body starts
Sentience strikes
and you are gone
I call out eagerly,
Without our bond.
I have no time
For you are gone.
Oh goddess,
release me from your grasp.
My mind wanders so far and vast.
I see your hair in a distance
I stand and scream for you to listen.
You don't look back and I let go....

Enveloped in doubt
We may be love
We may be hate
Who can say they relate?
We may be truth
We may be lies
Who can truly decide?
Dreams are reality
Nightmares haunt.
How can we live,
when life purely taunts?
We wear smiles of demise.,
because the only truth to life,
is to die.
Deep in silence,
Darkness overcomes.
We are enveloped,
purely by doubt.
