POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Have a little time on my hands to write out songs and such.
Deliver Me
Warm in the sun
Deadlines going on late
I’m in no hurry hell I never was
Too busy slumming it
Grass can grow
And the rains can flood
Over me, under me, around me
Wherever water goes
My brain haywires
Society says I’m bombing it
But it’s too late to be anything more
Then feathers in the wind
Got gold on my mind
Bipolar queen in a wedding dress
Her kiss only reminding me
Takes little to satisfy
Still trying to fit in
Shirt and tie in the morning
Shift ends, feels good, it’s about...

Legions Of The Spare
I carry no flag
Don’t bleed red or blue
If your down then begin bowing
Nonsensical to the end
Black and white
The thrill you can’t fulfill
Self made man says never hunger
Cause we all get hungry
It’s the truth to some degree
Your owned
Sinking a little more
Where you land is the cost
Your turned
But you won’t profit
Live on what they defecate
Those committed
Their hands in your pockets
Wearing suits and blues on parade
Elected by the bloodshed
Thank the elite...

Sway
Your secrets sold
And his is yours to keep
I don’t really mind where it goes
You can have anything
Call it a surprise
Call it whatever you want
Your a hungry dog with no loyalty
Not to the hand that feeds
I turn my back
If you want satisfaction
Squander your chance or take it
But be warned
For I offer no absolution
Nothing will sway once decided
Left in original sin
Like wizards who levitate
Your callous and a little ruthless
He’s no better, useless
You say too much
And...

Endlessly
I never had a soul
Think it died some time ago
And the absence of light proves it so
The tyrants dispel
But you offer no absolution
There’s a scepter among your gown
Such fickle affection
But a touch is all it ever was
For vicious bloodlines in your circle
The marauders that arise
Your beauty grazed
Rip torn by the powers that be
Borders crossed and treaties slashed
War ahead, transcending
I never had a soul
Think it died some time ago
And the absence of light proves it so ...

Borders crossed and treaties slashed

Think it died some time ago

Lowlands
Took a chance
And spared no expense
Enthralled in temptation’s wake
That sulfates your eyes
It mocks you all the time
Filing incarnations
The mortal coil you stumble
Abrasive bliss that stings even now
Feeling some kind of way
It’s so far from who you are
Thrown to the ground
How heavy is your time of need
When no one offers a hand
Only scowl in return
It’s that sudden turn
The burning and twirling satire
That swirls your river bend
Empties...

Dominion
I despise times like these
The displaced swell in the streets
Go hungry by their contagion
Fate steeped mystery
Children have no fathers
And their mothers can’t stay pretty
A wild era that breathes wrath
Unfurl the dragon’s fire
Leave, sown
Let the weak wither
Defame, candor
The strong merely buckle
Dominion over all
You heard the thunder
A marching mockery of luxury
Every rock turned for brownie points
Just to cut you at the knees
Mischief and madness ...

Wormwood
Well summer ends
Dash your corners anyway
Haven’t I accompanied you always
Our paths still runs deep
You know I’m in it until I’m not
A listless in my bones
It’s forming and unbecoming
All that I need, everything you provide
We laugh up the wine
You speak languid and so do I
Old scarring dances across the truth
Like tattoos that don’t fade
So tell me, who you wanna be
A listless in my heart
It’s forming and unbecoming
All that I need,...

Overlord
I’m an usurper
The pirate in blue seas
Molten rock that lies beneath
You beseech me
Dirty sigils on your lips
For how else could I hear you
Little no one
How you walk alone
Life hurts and life demands
Ask but think twice
Little no one
Even dead and gone
I’m only a step away from you
I’ll be here always
Your enemies falter
Thickened skin like armor
Transformed indefinitely forever
Many a rat becomes
And you succumb so easily ...

Reflecting Shadows
I heard the chime
When your rope grew taut
Tempestuous screams at midnight
Where evil deeds await
Like choir boys in drag
Who hides behind imagination
Loved by apparitions and old bishops
That pollute the communion
Words never spoken
Sounds heard over centuries
From secrets and epileptic seizures
That cauliflower your ears
Summoned among this fallen sect
The stench of holy forever
Oh, it’s lost indeed
Hail the fickle masses
When ashes trickle...
When your rope grew taut
Tempestuous screams at midnight

From secrets and epileptic seizures
That cauliflower your ears
Summoned among this fallen sect
The stench of holy forever
Oh, it’s lost indeed
Hail the fickle masses

The Yearning
Canine teeth albatross
You own none of my innovation
How little I think of your life
Suckling on my name
Your pain is irrelevant
One day you’ll take what’s mine
Our lands sown by thieves
Family ties that bind
I seen it when I was young
Torn palms only announce intent
Your grandfather once said
Love is a fallen word
Enlighten me
For what I did wrong
You will stand your ground
The earth kept spinning
As I laid waste to my father’s fortune ...

Choose Your Eyes
Losing titles in this game
A sword thrust across my throat
To remind me where I reside
Following lesser men
So I stayed my hand
Gave praise when I had none
When his image overshadowed mine
Up there above all the stars
It ain’t an easy thing
To do the bowing and turning
A submission of character
Charlatans eat better
These walls get higher
And nothing is bleaker then this
So I wander under the trees
Aimless with purpose
And there you are
Dress billowing in...
A sword thrust across my throat

And nothing is bleaker then this

Aimless with purpose

Rogue Torque
I am a masquerade
Stand accused on a full moon
Through shape and form
Something diabolical
A sense of ill
My ears tickle in turn
Teeth sharpen and puncture
I am your eyes
The wall with no door
An honesty you deny even still
The light now shun
I feel no better tucking tail
A putrid smell that betrays all intent
Ghoulish wherever I roam
A sense of ill
My ears tickle in turn
Teeth sharpen and puncture
I am your eyes
The wall with no door
An honesty you...
Stand accused on a full moon
Through shape and form
Something diabolical

My ears tickle in turn
Teeth sharpen and puncture

An honesty you deny even still
The light now shun
I feel no better tucking tail
A putrid smell that betrays all intent
Ghoulish wherever I roam
A sense of ill

Teeth sharpen and puncture
I am your eyes
