POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm Dillon, I write mostly sad or unhappy and love poems, I love to branch out into the weird though.
Two Doves and a Gun
First chapter of a book im writing
It figures it would end up this way. The flashes like messages from god, blinding my eyes as I see nothing and hear nothing.
You see, breaking into the one of biggest libraries in the world in the hopes to burn all the books probably wasn’t the best idea. Hey leave it to Chase though, I remember his exact words, “Fuck the past! The present is now! History is gone and we are the future. Forget all your lessons and textbooks, I mean hell we are already forgotten. History is ours and I say we burn it”
Now lying on the floor of the Library of...

Conversations With The MInd - Living
Are we the living or are most of us the dead?
Six feet under, how many colors are in the spectrum when we fade?
Lost in a sense of comfort when it's so harsh
You know you can't see your death but flashes of your life
Like lightning in the night sky
I don't want to be struck
Sucked into a life of fucking business suits and money
How can I be an optimist when I don't care
You see me and I'm not there
No one is there and no one knows us
We are the ghosts of life
No one is living
Giving hope in return getting it back
I think there is more then...

Truest words never spoken but known
If I could open a book with you cover to cover
Then I would never need any other reading material ever
Plains of the grass swaying like the hair of my love
Her scent, her voice perfect as soft as a dove
Two roses intertwined with one thorn and one heart
Red as blood that flows for you
I would choose you over the heavens of life
I already have the heavens of life with you
A consistent fire through the night sky, she is my star
As sure as the river flows so does my love
I rise with the sun, you rise with the moon
We rest our hands upon the dead...

Dying Into Life
Her name is strings connecting my heart
I just want it back, I want to see
Lost is my middle name
Love is my life and she is my goal in it
Deep is my breath as the thought of her comes
It's still there just where?
Tears are my last name, Instructions to lose
To feel her touch, her breath with mine
What am I doing? What are you thinking?
The air is heavy on my heart
The weight is light on my head
I'm putting together a puzzle
The only two pieces missing
If she wants I'll never let her go
Blue
My ocean of skies
I want an open door...
I just want it back, I want to see

Outskirts Of The Mind
They say a diamond lasts forever
Multiple reflections cast to where i'm rendered
My heart will pass away
Yet I give it to you everyday
Many questions are asked about nothing
I tell her i'll do no such thing
Everything is percieved as normal
Everything is perceived as lost
I can't control the cost
I'm consistenly lost and yet I see where I am
The suns rays touch my face only when they can
Only when I allow the world into my heart
Messages in bottles could be a good start
Cross the ocean and the sky
Then cross them back just...

The Best things in the world are blue
The Sky
The Ocean
Your eyes
If I could own it all
I'd just look into these three things everyday

How Can I Live?
The things on my mind are the things on my life
I wish I was able to just bring people together
Stand on the corner and just shout to the world
A megaphone of hope through the eyes of someone with none
Like watching a flower bloom and seeing it create a new thing from something old
Oppression creates the lessening of our spirit
Who invented hate?
I hope they never experience what they created
Where did all the real beauty go?
You have to look hard for it now
Everyone in a hurry and nowhere to go
Love is my Lost City of Atlantis
Keep...

Heaven
Religion is the escape of fear
Freedom of speech let's me say this
If heaven is real then I'm lost traveling
Why should we die to go there?
A fluffy cloud of bliss that's soft to the eyes
Moonlight
These lies and truths can't scare me
Reality is completely lost with religion
Never a more touchy subject
If I walk though the door to heaven
I'll hide my face as not to look
Sunshine

Delete Population (Inspired by Jasmine Cormier)
One days it's going to happen
The worlds going to take itself back
We'll die out like color into black
Concrete will crack and buildings fall
The grass will become everything
Highways will become planes and meadows
Buildings will crumble and cities will revert to jungles and forrests
The extinction of mankind, The reverse evolution
Ovveride of the population
It's like god erasing us from his harddrive
Everything has a real purpose but us
Trees animals we are just there to take from all this
Have you ever seen a tree kill another tree?
or is...

Unknown Life : Part 1
Leatherbound between two trees
Trees made of sand with hands for branches
Wanting everything they can't have
A meadow surrounds it like an ocean of green
The flowers blooming from it are stems, branches on the end
A grandfather clock sits in this meadow
The hands go backwards and the body of it is made of gold
While the face is wood
The sun is black with one open spot of light like a flashlight
Shinining directly onto the clock
The moon on the other side of the sky surrounded by clouds
Clouds of thousands of bodies pulled together into one organism...

The Life Of A Bullet
Shiny and new into fate
I am the devil and god
The power of the world
The religion of the 3'rd worlds
Punch holes into insanity
The individual grooves of ym life
Each unique from my home
Combustible,hollowed and straight to the point
I can read your mind
Predict your future
One purpose is hate
I'm whats wrong with the world
The ovveride of Humanity
I'll return us to the Jungle
Load hate
I am the devil and god
The power of the world
The religion of the 3'rd worlds
Punch holes into insanity
The individual grooves of ym life
Each unique from my home
Combustible,hollowed and straight to the point
I can read your mind
Predict your future
One purpose is hate
I'm whats wrong with the world
The ovveride of Humanity
I'll return us to the Jungle
Load hate
