POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm interested in knowing how people interpret what I say.
Hollow
I'd scythe fight with the Reaper to rob graves for their secrets
Searching for answers that don't exist and others I probably couldn't live with
Why is peace always the first casualty?
I'd pass at the chance of immortality
If all that it means is seeing everything that I ever cherished just perish in front of me
I'd hate to always be the last man standing
Again and again
Refusing to make connections because there's nothing left in the end
Build just to break
It'll take all of my strength to drop half of the weight
I bet it would hurt less if I thought...

New Found Wisdom
I wonder what it would cost to bribe God
And if I could profit off it enough to come out on top
They say to aim high
Must be to compensate for the drop
Happiness is a bit of a long shot, but I think with a Barrett .50, I could probably pull it off
Trust me
A little killin' never hurt anybody
Love said, 'a bullet to the chest is worth two in the head'
Lead weighs heavy on a conscious
Us arsonists are addicted to burning bridges
I'd pull my fingers out of their sockets just to get a grip on a matchstick
You're taking up all the bandwidth with this...

Off balanced scale of a Libra
Add another boxcar to my train of thoughts
I'm lost in a poets holocaust
With the grammar nazis always infringing on my freedom of speech
Thinking what I say and what I mean are the same thing
Of course it didn't make sense
Artists are in the business of defying physics
Divided myself by zero and found the fraction of madness Aristotle suggests accompanies genius
How high does my I.Q. have to be to test positive for crazy?
It's the ordinary that need therapy
They're vision impaired with arrogant stares
But we find fresh air in gas chambers
Inhale...

You'd have to be crazy, to wanna be normal
Elmor shot into the wrong rabbit hole
And I've got post traumatic stress from finding Alice dead
Figured out the riddle of the raven and the writing desk
And the mad hatter reminds me of me
I think this ink was laced 50/50 with mercury
I'm an astronaut floating in cyberspace
Decipher the enigma and you'll find the mania of an alian
It seems my pen is the demon's safest haven
I guess I'm a ventriloquist if he's the string puppet I use to vent
Interpret my thoughts for the audience
And odds are you can relate cause they're contaminated with hatred...

Odyssey
Me and my split personality just made history
He sits opposite of my conscious but we're thick as thieves
And thanks to my accomplice
I broke that chain of evidence and robbed the bank just for the pen on the desk
And I won't fall victim of the guilt trip method
Cause I'll make the best use of it
I'm the exoskeleton of an ex-gentleman
The next generation X bringing back delinquency from the brink of extinction
Writing is my near-life experiance
The ink is potent enough to sink in through osmosis
And I just wrote this with an epinephrine pen to...

As good as it gets
How can I peacefully fight for peace?
How can I win in the ring when my opponent is the referee?
I've seen the work of bribe money spent against me
A special thanks to my enemies for always being there for me
I've found better investments than friends
Bought stock in abandonment and doubled my profits
I'm the lone legend of coldness
Found loneliness on the corner of Memory Lane and a fifth
Finally got what I always wanted
And I sure built shoulder strength holding all the burdens of earth
Never heard a word of truth in a church so I gave up the search...

"Relax, I'm only passing through"
I drove myself crazy behind the wheel of a Bonneville
Pull into hell and the devil said,
"We don't want any trouble"

My own worst enemy
So awkward I astonish the astronomers
Send me to the loony bin
I'm a lunatic
And I'll come out worse than when I went in
Irrelevant topics make me sick
Lonliness is my tonic
And it's a bit ironic how the pen has a grip on my fingertips
Cause I'm laconic
But I speak silence fluently
My voice is just ultrasonic
Bionic tongue talking in oxymorons
I've got this weirdness down to a perfect science
I'm the backrest you lean against with the cracked plastic jabbing you in the back to counter the pain in your chest I'm the honest con artist...

Magnum Opus
If there was a cure for optimism I'd probably overdose of the prescription
Cue the violins I'm going off the deep end
Ships sinking and I'm the captain staying true to tradition
But we're all victims of our own inventions
And even the best intentions have consequences
The creature they call my conscious is supporting evidence for the evolutionist
Yeah, my brain cells bid each other good riddance
And I'm caught in the amnesia paradox
Where forgetting you was easier than I thought
And Alzheimer's seems to have made friends with my eidetic memory
And...

I am
I am the vigilante found guilty of resuscitation in the first degree
I am the euphoric metaphors you took literally
I am the voice you elected to preach silence
I am the tunnel at the end of the light
I am the good part of goodbye
I am the architect of deception
I am the villain that saved the Hero's reputation
I am the worst consequences of your best intentions
I am the airborne pathogen robbing your oxygen
I am the neurosurgeon that's lost his mind
I am the mime climbing back in the box
I am the mental shock therapy that leaves you...

The symptom
This is my lullaby
Explaining why I can't bring myself to socialize
Cause everybody lies and friends are only foes is disguise
Betraying their allies
The goodbyes left my throat dry and my jaw paralyzed
The blood in my veins has solidified
I've capsized, what a surprise
You were hospitalized with an underdeveloped heart and I sympathize
You're the butterfly I euthanized
The phrase I couldn't word just right
I'm the black and white photo bringing out the color of your eyes
The optician trading an eye for an eye so you can read the words I prescribed...
