POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I have been writing about 14 years. I've wrote about 1000 poems, write all the time. I mostly write darker poetry, music fuels a lot of what I write in terms of mood. My Writing is about life, depression, angst, social problems, but also happy.
Devouring Satan/Finding God
Devouring Satan
I stepped Inside Satan lair.
I told him that I wanted his power.
I would become the greatest threat.
I would kill every fucking thing.
He laughed at me.
Told me that I was just a weak link.
I was just emotional-
So I slit his throat and stuffed his entrails inside of me.
Told his dying frame that I read both of their sides.
Neither interested me,
I just loved to kill.
And you were just not getting the job done fast enough.
The Holy Bible, The Satan's Handbook,
was fucking meaningless.
I...

APATHY
The walls around get smaller
I can feel my veins begin to crawl
It's feeding time again isn't it?
I thought the sound of your voice would never show
Your apathy for my cries
I felt nothing but dense cold
Your emotion has always been lacking
Casting aside,
my bitter jealous groans
I choke down everything that I hide
Slowly fading
2002

Welcome To New Orleans
Welcome to New Orleans
A massive car crash along the endless bridge
The entire outgoing section is blocked for miles
Wall of cars and people surround you
You will pay for everything
Trolly cars waiting for hours
Railroads screeching by making you deaf
But the people smile
They have bright souls good and bad
A drunk homeless man curses me
as police surround him
Voodoo shops
A statue like man with blinking eyes dressed in skulls takes your picture
Art fill the sidewalks
Of every type to entice you

The Calming Feeling
Every time I look into your eyes.
I see the darkened circles floating around you.
Every time I want to believe you're true.
You fake it all, Like you always do.
every time I believe in your kind.
It's always been taken away.
So that’s why I can’t trust anyone.
Because they are all just like you.
Wasting me away, ready to make me a new scar.
Every time I fight myself to still love you.
I feel the invisible dig inside.
My heart now beating inside your cold fingertips.
Thumbing the throbs as it silently sighs.
Then...

A Little House By The Water
Watch the waves crash down upon you.
Beneath the shady rocks and the burning sand.
The sun beats your tired face into the ground.
It's just the way you like it.
From the sea:
Soft words are spoken,
they drift slowly,
to put you at ease.
Toss your mind into that rushing wave you see in front of you:
no one around,
you sit and you rest,
to shut out the world.
Pretend it all went away:
Just for one moment,
you are at peace with yourself,
just like what your life always wanted,
maybe.
Now your life is set:

Bled All The Tears
Broken down
Inside the bathroom
Where water can cleanse me
Every drop continues the descent
Toward something that was supposed to heal me
I thought for the longest time
That my mind would finally disconnect on me
That every image I kept sealed away, would become exposed
Instead I just see one
The first moment where we became one.
I bled out all my tears
Pain kept rushing out
A quick, sharp, lean
My head fell.
The water was trying to drown me
Every second the water washed another happy feeling
The laughter that...
