POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Nothing of Nowhere
I am the nothing,
Of the nowhere town,
Ground down and born by haters,
Will to cherish my true love,
Will to save but still I drown in doubt,
Fighting for air,
I go under,
A colour out of space
I die the unloved and never cherished,
But do I need to?
A chronicle of a soul twisted by fate,
An animal of pride,
Wasting from hunger and malnourishment of the mind,
Maybe a strange mercy I suffer?
As a rhyme and reason I shake,
What and where is thy true self?
My Hatred buried for Aeons, fossilised, but now excavated,...

Alone
The night falls without a sound, lost am I.
the emotion for which I sacrifice myself
flares once, then dies,
swept away by a velvet ebon nothingness.
all hope must end.
my soul thrives no more.
how could this be?
angels surround me, crying,
sanctuary, at it's end.

Threat and Redemption
A Beam of accusation enters
this darkened place as I kneel,
always hopeful, always cold,
frozen, trapped here,
waiting for salvation to bring me home.
Accusing forms wrought in shadows of cowardice loom as
dust of terror fills my lungs,
forming an image in my mind,
infiltrating, reaving my exposed soul.
A Realisation of my lifestyle dawns upon my face.
I raise my head, now defying scream, truth
this callous reality shall not break me.

Temporal
Time
Dissipates to where?
Forwards, relentless pursuit of end,
Journeys of forever,
liken to The unyielding predator,
Relentless in tailing of it's prey,
Never captured ongoing pursuit,
Is dying real?
Time forever as time.

Faith, Hope?
Faith is this to me
a zenith screaming to my habitual discerning dreams
a uncertain future bathing around my now unsure thought
crying a beguiling rattlesnake of my failed Health
I wonder if future, happiness is real
Friends disappear, loves lost, to time and distance
this is faith to me, sometimes like my mind, it betrays me.

Heavens Agony/ Eternity's Lust
The Mountains Erupt with Virgin Snow,
Alas!
Heaven permeates with the everlasting Agony of the Unknown.
The Desert Quivers in Virgin Abandonment,
While my Love Shimmers like the Moon on a Still water,
A Darkened Cave of my Soul Emanates Wonderment of Her.

My Lament
Around, all around, the dark memories gather.
My dread grows as the angry hand of Heaven falls against my naked soul.
It smites me, and darkly my
essence drips
to the barren land.
In numbness I beg forgiveness
while nothingness approaches.
Now alone, my love falls upon blind eyes.
This is my salvation.

Untitled (The Torn Heart)
The night falls with a silent sigh, entwined are we.
the emotion for which you pray
flares once, then dies,
taken by your obsession.
all hope must not endure.
your love is no more.
how could you tear us asunder?
our dark emotions surround us, crying,
we are fallen.

Heaven Shunned
Slender beams of light enter
this darkened hall as I kneel,
always silent, always hopeful,
frozen here,
waiting.
Haloed forms wrought in panes of glass loom as
dust dances in the air,
forming an image in my mind,
reaving my secret soul.
A reflection on a lover's face.
I raise my head, now embracing
this impassive truth.

Time...
Time is like sandstone, wearing away
the debris of modernity
monkeys running through the trees
bones of old industry
orange beak and claw
allegheny
parted limbs
rainfall
eye,
each is made of dust
she is stardust she is earth
her eyes on green wave.

Sinister Backward Glance
Sinister and glittering near the sky
Quite rabid near the fog
We divine wanting eyes look against the trees
Vile God The lust has died
Totally desirous about the shadows
You turn with red rabid dogs beyond the fire
Beware! The feelings of empty remorse
Sinister and glittering near the sky
You expel sensuous faces within the spirits
The night is fleeing
unsure alive
fading slowly
a backward glance
With what regrets
the hero, no more
stop for a while
and miss this turning to salvation.

Lovecraftian
Gasping the opulent night-gaunt
carving the cyclopean dog
vaguely awaiting the Great old one
carving the venerable twilight
R'yleh sleeps, shall some arise
deadly blaspheming the silver illusion
blaspheming the leering geometry
A Hound of Tindalos haunts my Psyche
Even Death shall soon Die.
