POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write my love between old bookstore classics, and a bare ribcage.
My Princess
Hello there my Princess,
How are you today?
Come and dine with me,
Like you did last night,
In a forest far away.
I know I'm just a lowly peasant,
Like you tell me every day.
But if I didn't know any better--
I'd say you liked me that way.
You see that crown atop your head?
--A perfect image in the morn,--
However, late at night,
That crown becomes adorned.
So--My Princess,
Come dine with me,
Like you did last night,
And many nights before.

I'd say you liked me that way.
You see that crown atop your head?
--A perfect image in the morn,--
However, late at night,
That crown becomes adorned.
So--My Princess,
Come dine with me,
Like you did last night,
And many nights before.

Through the Eyes of a Psychotic Artist
Your blood is like art to me.
Watching it drip into a puddle on the floor,
Painting a wonderful picture.
-One that only I can see.-
You are my canvas,
And I the creative painter.
As you wither and squirm,
Your screams encourage me,
-To do it just a little bit more.-
Your once innocent blond locks,
Are now coated with red.
You look more beautiful to me now,
Than you ever have before.
But I don’t tell you this,
I only sit and stare.
And carve just a little deeper. ...

Murder Scene
One day I'll find my inner thoughts,
There.--Spread upon my floor,
A scene of macabre for everyone to see.
The stains so deep.
A crime of passion, There,
Upon my floor.
So honey,
You better stay away from me.

Behind Closed Doors
Oh, no...
Brace yourself
Here come those blood curdling screams.
They're begging to be set free.
But, I lock them up,
Throw away the key,
And hope they stay inside of me.
My god, my everything
No...
A wolf in sheep's clothing.
Morbid thoughts.
So impure,
And the secrets that they hide.
Turned my world upside down.
My heaven,
Now my hell.
You choked me with my halo,
And pulled me off my cloud.
Free-fall Free-fall,
Ha, no.
I plummeted. ...

Cheaters
I'm so glad I've finally seen,
The cheater that you've come to be.
You're a lying S.O.B!
It doesn't really bother me,
And I don't feel so bad.
And don't worry honey,
You weren't half bad.
But all this time I've been using you,
Because in the end,
I cheated too.

Be My Master--Pull My Strings
You might not know this yet,
But I'm your twisted little marionette.
And you- My almighty puppeteer.
So, please...
Make me dance around on strings.
You are the possessor,
And I am the possessed.
Manipulate me,
Control me,
Use me,
Abuse me.
Please...
Bend me at your will.
I am the willing little slave,
And you- The master of my strings.
But I'm your twisted little marionette.
And you- My almighty puppeteer.
So, please...
Make me dance around on strings.
You are the possessor,
And I am the possessed.
Manipulate me,
Control me,
Use me,
Abuse me.
Please...
Bend me at your will.
I am the willing little slave,
And you- The master of my strings.

Beauty and the Beast
You; my beautiful fascination.
And if you are the beauty,
By a twist of fate-,
Does that make me the beast?
Your duty;
To worship me.
And scream when I command.
I crave for you,
Like an animalistic, carnal hunger;
One I can't ignore.
I might hold the leash,
But, you hold all the power over me.
