POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Many of my poems are inspired by writers such as H.P. Lovecraft, and the notorious Poe. Anything dark and macabre is my forte. The subjects of my poems do not always reflect my emotions, rather it is me empathizing for others.

A Feaux Resurrection
Inside a sepulcher there is a man. He sits slouched beneath a fresh casket of stone, surrounded by empty bottles of booze that moisten the ground on which he sits. Time passes on with no movement. There is only pain, only regret, only sorrow. His thoughts invoke depression, followed by repression. Finally, sobs fill the once still and silent tomb. His wails transform into screams which wage war on the empty space around him. A flux of emotions in a matter of moments, followed by silence.
Quiet once more as his thoughts take hold. "I don't care who you are, what you are,...

My Mental Movie House
As I lay awake writing this, whispers encompass my thoughts
Scenes of the past reel like a movie, in an empty theater
What have I done?
What will I do?
What can I do?
At the time, I believed I was right
You can't fault the heart for proposing its truths
So just stop already, I'm sick of the rebuking and the torment
I have tried time and time again to reconcile, but what have you done?
Condemned my actions when you were the one who asked for them
I will no longer be a pawn in this pointless game
You did what you wanted, and...

Cupid's Bow Is but a Stone's Throw
Your sight makes my body like spring
Butterflies scatter in me frantically
My blood courses like a raging river
Mine eyes bloom in your countenance
inhaling your locks insues ecstasy
The brush of silken skin, enticing
Your breath though warm, chills me
Two souls collide and then intwine
Compared to yours, an angel's voice is course
The sun shines with a jealous glow when you appear
And ravens flee as though a becon of kindness illuminates
When we embrace, I wish to bond us with lock and key
When I'm with you,...
Butterflies scatter in me frantically

Escaped or Set Free?
It roars at me from its restraints
Pleading to be released
Rattling its chains, its constraints
All who've seen it are deceased
It knashes its teeth, gnarls and growls
Wailing, like a wolf in search of prey
It rumbles, then lets forth firey howls
Urging, wishing to be thrown into the frey
I feel it burning me in times of conflict
Tearing my insides, forcing its way out
Pain is his pleasure, he lives only to inflict
I keep him caged, inside a bloody redoubt
Don't tease what you think is innate

Death of a Saint
I stopped in a forest for rest
A short respite from my taxing test
Tapestry of fate, my stitching is stressed
Braving foul foes amidst my glorious quest
Battered blades clash in exuberant dueling
The sound of steel sings, increasingly fueling
He is one with his sword, ultimate and ruling
The battle is his, and his efforts oh so grueling
His opponent lay dead, yet his honor he shan't taint
The noble knight met his fate, at the hands of "The Sword Saint"
His intentions are clear, the Saint's integrity is no feint ...

Dew Kissed Destiny
When in bloom, the succulent flowers and their sweet perfume do loom,
Announcing springtime's arrival with a vibrant, colorful boom
The world awakens from its winter slumber,
As nature puts on a glorious, blooming number
From crocuses to daffodils, each petal unfurls,
In a kaleidoscope of colors, each more beautiful than pearls
And in the air, the scent of fresh flowers,
As if a thousand perfumers had been at work for hours
As old memories fade to the frost of regret,
New ones bloom underneath the sun of hope, a duet ...

Dooming Desecration
Shattered shields stayed the sight of silence silently, sightless
Moans of men muttered meanless mourning messily, mightless
Hordes of horned heretics hammered heads of heartless heathens, heightless
Dreadful droning, drips of drool drown daring and dutiful duelers that diest
Dust dancing down deserted dells
Bones buried, battles and blood beyond bells
Rusted regalia, ravaged and rotten remains
Echoes empty, entombed in eerie enchains
The bones of the king, regal remains of reign
Rest upon the ruins of the ruthless terrain

Burdens Beared Together
In quiet contemplation, doth this man sit
With heart so heavy and brow so knit
He sees the world in disarray and despair
And can't help but feel a deep sense of care
For in his eyes, the actions of his kind
Are cruel and selfish, base and unrefined
He wonders why we do what we do
And cannot help but feel a deep sense of rue
For as he reflects on his own deeds
He realizes that he too has sown the seeds
Of darkness and sorrow, of pain and woe
And cannot help but feel what regret did bestow
For if he, a mere...

Darkly Divine
With raven hair, my heart she stole, this maiden of mine
With whispers of grandeur, and the darkly divine
I've tasted her beauty, I've drank her potion
"I'll make her mine!", What a wonderful notion
In place of eyes were cosmic jewels
That had entranced so many fools
Mysterious her heart was still
Upon the wind she moved, her own free will
Her gentle voice caressed my soul
Of new birth, my feelings a foal
So let her and I ride into the night
Both darkly divine, both out of sight
With whispers of grandeur, and the darkly divine
I've tasted her beauty, I've drank her potion
"I'll make her mine!", What a wonderful notion
In place of eyes were cosmic jewels
That had entranced so many fools
Mysterious her heart was still
Upon the wind she moved, her own free will
Her gentle voice caressed my soul
Of new birth, my feelings a foal
So let her and I ride into the night
Both darkly divine, both out of sight

Sinking
Deep in the shadows of the mind
Where chains of time doth ever bind
There lies a home, a dwelling place
Where darkness reigns, and cold embrace
Bittersweet memories linger there
A beating heart that's filled with despair
A reality that's hard to face
A facade of hope, a mirage of grace
Oh, how he longs to wake from this dream
This endless cycle, this drowning stream
But whispers from within his soul
Keep him bound to this endless hole
He yearns for light, for hope, for peace
But darkness is all that he can...
Where chains of time doth ever bind
There lies a home, a dwelling place
Where darkness reigns, and cold embrace
Bittersweet memories linger there
A beating heart that's filled with despair
A reality that's hard to face
A facade of hope, a mirage of grace
Oh, how he longs to wake from this dream
This endless cycle, this drowning stream
But whispers from within his soul
Keep him bound to this endless hole
He yearns for light, for hope, for peace
But darkness is all that he can...

Reflections of Eternal Torment
True! - nervous - very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The events that have unfolded before me are beyond reason and comprehension of any sane mind. It all started on a fateful night when I was alone in my room. I looked into the mirror, and that’s when I saw it - my reflection, with an unnaturally large and wicked grin. It was a grin that stretched from ear to ear and looked as though it was carved on the face of the devil himself. I tried to look away, but I couldn't.
Then, before I knew it, I was grabbed and pulled into the...

The Quaking That Raised Everest
You cannot quell the fires of contempt
That latched to this bitter heart
When all that's seen is torn apart
A raving of livid thoughts impart
Hatred
Still no mortal man is truly evil
Only those who do impose
And on redeeming thoughts oppose
When weary souls are denied repose
Heartache
Your fellow brother is simply lost
Confused and searching at the altar
Where still his thoughts forever falter
Wondering if his hardened heart can alter
Redemption
Kinship extends it's loving...
