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.

I Shall Return
This is my hiatus
A simple pause, to reflect on my status
I have began to form a silent treatise
An oversight of my own fault
My mental cogs came to a grinding halt
I must revert my lyrical acuity to a fetus
Only a short time shall I be gone
Until I'm back I'll be moving on
I shall return a poetic son of Thetis
A simple pause, to reflect on my status
I have began to form a silent treatise
An oversight of my own fault
My mental cogs came to a grinding halt
I must revert my lyrical acuity to a fetus
Only a short time shall I be gone
Until I'm back I'll be moving on
I shall return a poetic son of Thetis

The Puppeteer
I am the one who draws the curtain of hate
Amnesty has no place in my ranks
Your doubts feed my power
Darkness dwells in your soul
Forever will you be mine
Present, always skulking deep within you
Amnesty has no place in my ranks
Your doubts feed my power
Darkness dwells in your soul
Forever will you be mine
Present, always skulking deep within you

Life's Cartographer
I have been drawing a map since the day of my birth
It began when I crossed the bridge from womb to reality
Enveloped by illumination, and flooded with unbearable noise
I traveled from one set of hands, to the bosom of my mother where I took rest
I marked that spot as home
A whole decade I routed and pathed
My chart continually expanding along the way
Many wonders I had seen, and many horrors
Love begets love, and death begets death
One decade more, a world set on its own destruction
I made a note to avoid that route ...

A Rocking Chair
Lying in bed rifling through dreams
I heard a creak, not all is as it seems
It came from the drawing room
I lit a lamp and took a walk through the hallway gloom
There it sat, a rocking chair
Sounds were still on the midnight air
Nothing wrong, not a peep
I turn around and retreat to sleep
On the morrow all was normal
The day was drab and work was formal
Upon return I had a brandy before bed
Traipsing toward slumber to rest my weary head
As I snuffed the wick......a creak, "Tis nothing", I dismissed ...

Torn Humanity
Two voices of my creation
Each pulling in a different direction
Frustration fills both mouths
Like two songs overlapping
I love both tunes
Not one or another can I choose
A broken machine
The focal point of controversy
I'd be better off deaf
Each pulling in a different direction
Frustration fills both mouths
Like two songs overlapping
I love both tunes
Not one or another can I choose
A broken machine
The focal point of controversy
I'd be better off deaf

The Lost Storm
Tears of despair leave a forlorn face
Each drop filled with a memory of broken dreams
Overhead a single cloud seems to loom
It follows me wherever I wander
It's as if the storm is tied to me
We sat in a field that felt like home,
empty
My tears fell once more, and the storm sobbed as well
Before I knew it, roses encompassed me
Black roses is what they were
I know how they felt
Unnatural, no color.......ugly
The storm and I are one in the same
Both searching
Both lost ...
Each drop filled with a memory of broken dreams
Overhead a single cloud seems to loom
It follows me wherever I wander
It's as if the storm is tied to me

Black roses is what they were

The storm and I are one in the same

The Drifting Demon
Veil of shadow, cloak of darkness
Face of nothing, shroud of starkness
Black wind, pushing a dark mist
A foul foe is famished for light
devilish demon draped in night
still sounds stalk silently out of sight
In the distance, an evil growl
From the woods, a harrowing howl
A face staring back, with an empty scowl
Face of nothing, shroud of starkness
Black wind, pushing a dark mist
A foul foe is famished for light
devilish demon draped in night
still sounds stalk silently out of sight
In the distance, an evil growl
From the woods, a harrowing howl
A face staring back, with an empty scowl

The Test of Life
There is beauty in pain
It is through loss that we gain
It still hurts all the same
Throughout all the agony and toil
Of all the inner turmoil
The seed of hope was planted in my soul's soil
Until my last I shall never rest
I'll keep fighting on love's behest
For to push through pain is the ultimate test
It is through loss that we gain
It still hurts all the same
Throughout all the agony and toil
Of all the inner turmoil
The seed of hope was planted in my soul's soil
Until my last I shall never rest
I'll keep fighting on love's behest
For to push through pain is the ultimate test

My Family
To everyone else I was an only child
I got whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted it
Alas, I had no friends to play with
Although, in my eyes I wasn't an only child
I had a twin brother who lived in my mirror
We would talk together for many hours
It always seemed like he could read my mind
Always knowing what I wanted to say, and he would copy me
I love my brother
My cousin came over to play one day
I introduced him to my brother
He laughed and called me a freak
When I wasn't looking he smashed my...

The Misery of Man
The noise is a torrential rain
Cascading on my brain
My mind begins to stray
I scream "Make it go away!"
I get on my knees to pray
I can't think of what to say
My thoughts begin to fray
My heart begins to stray
I keep asking "Will you stay?"
But they always walk away
Am I a broken man today?
Cascading on my brain
My mind begins to stray
I scream "Make it go away!"
I get on my knees to pray
I can't think of what to say
My thoughts begin to fray
My heart begins to stray
I keep asking "Will you stay?"
But they always walk away
Am I a broken man today?

The Inner Wolf and The Outer Sheep
Silence
The one thing more terrifying than sound
When left to one's thoughts the mind opens
What will you see?
The true form of what you really are,
Or the empty shell of what you want to be
Are you afraid?
Afraid of nothing
Do you fear
Silence
The one thing more terrifying than sound
When left to one's thoughts the mind opens
What will you see?
The true form of what you really are,
Or the empty shell of what you want to be
Are you afraid?
Afraid of nothing
Do you fear
Silence

From Darkness Light Is Born
In a foundry of stone and hollow bone
Amidst the mist I walk alone
Walking, and walking, with no heart to call my own
The voices in my head begin to roar
I feel my tears pooling on the floor
Gone is my happiness, and my soul no more
How happy can I be
With my new mental sobriety
Enough to finally be set free
Now the love begins to press
No more anguish and self duress
No more am I in distress
Amidst the mist I walk alone
Walking, and walking, with no heart to call my own
The voices in my head begin to roar
I feel my tears pooling on the floor
Gone is my happiness, and my soul no more
How happy can I be
With my new mental sobriety
Enough to finally be set free
Now the love begins to press
No more anguish and self duress
No more am I in distress
