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.

Neurocosmic Odyssey
What sights and horrors do dreams entail?
Some that show how life is frail
And some that wait to tip the scale
Neurons fire like glistening stars
Yet still they find the mental scars
My thoughts are distant, like the planet Mars
I'm but a traveler in the wake of time
Through cosmic sands, and ethereal prime
In dreams I walk, in life's paradox rhyme
Some that show how life is frail
And some that wait to tip the scale
Neurons fire like glistening stars
Yet still they find the mental scars
My thoughts are distant, like the planet Mars
I'm but a traveler in the wake of time
Through cosmic sands, and ethereal prime
In dreams I walk, in life's paradox rhyme

Consciously Unconscious
Curse this barrier in my soul
My well is dry, tis but an empty hole
The linguistic river stopped by a mental dam
I'll force the flood gates open, by the sheer will of man
All eyes and ears shall know my fury
By the sound of paper and pen that scurry
Swift retribution before the words leave me
Let your creativity be the key to free thee
My well is dry, tis but an empty hole
The linguistic river stopped by a mental dam
I'll force the flood gates open, by the sheer will of man
All eyes and ears shall know my fury
By the sound of paper and pen that scurry
Swift retribution before the words leave me
Let your creativity be the key to free thee

Balance
I am an acrobat
Forever stanced on a beam of light and
darkness
Fall to one side, an abyss you will find
Fall to the other, a light that blinds
Do not be a glutton
For the light or the dark
Be the soul that walks between
A world that's bright, and a world unseen
For what is dark shall be pierced by light
And what is bright shall be shrouded in night
Even so, at night there is the moon
A symbol of sadness and gloom
Yet the cold light that shines
Is the reflection of a sun that blinds ...
Forever stanced on a beam of light and
darkness
Fall to one side, an abyss you will find
Fall to the other, a light that blinds
Do not be a glutton
For the light or the dark
Be the soul that walks between
A world that's bright, and a world unseen
For what is dark shall be pierced by light
And what is bright shall be shrouded in night
Even so, at night there is the moon
A symbol of sadness and gloom
Yet the cold light that shines
Is the reflection of a sun that blinds ...

Windows of Truth
They say that eyes are windows to the soul
Does that mean that a broken mind is blind to the love of man?
Of those whose mind is pure, their eyes are like stained glass
They tell a story, and catch the rays of hope shown by the sun
The one who's mind is lost, his glass is tinted and cloudy
The one who's honest, their glass is transparent
Of the evil ones, they have no glass at all
For every evil thought chipped away the glass until it shattered
Does that mean that a broken mind is blind to the love of man?
Of those whose mind is pure, their eyes are like stained glass
They tell a story, and catch the rays of hope shown by the sun
The one who's mind is lost, his glass is tinted and cloudy
The one who's honest, their glass is transparent
Of the evil ones, they have no glass at all
For every evil thought chipped away the glass until it shattered

Slicing Tears
Through murkey mental waters, she wades
Wishing its water to drain, the memory fades
Moving, deeper in she goes
What lay in wait, no one knows
Tired, so very tired of swimming
She stops to rest, her mind is dimming
No longer swimming, now she's floating
Drifting amidst her thoughts, no noting
The girl awakened it, as it seems
The thing that sleeps beneath the sea of dreams
Somethings off, a change in the tides
She's swam too long, it no longer hides
Torrent waves come crashing down ...
Wishing its water to drain, the memory fades
Moving, deeper in she goes
What lay in wait, no one knows
Tired, so very tired of swimming
She stops to rest, her mind is dimming
No longer swimming, now she's floating

The Hourglass
Do you hear it?
The tolling of the bell
A warning
To those in sin who dwell
Can you feel it?
That beating heart of hate
It's swelling
There's no changing other's fate
Can you taste it?
The blood that is to flow
Pointless
In that sea of blood we row
Can you see it?
The fires that will raze
Comes hell
To cover in a deadly haze
Do you hear it?
Can you feel it?
Can you taste it?
Can you see it?
If you do
Then all hope is lost
You've lived your life...
The tolling of the bell
A warning
To those in sin who dwell
Can you feel it?
That beating heart of hate
It's swelling
There's no changing other's fate
Can you taste it?
The blood that is to flow
Pointless
In that sea of blood we row
Can you see it?
The fires that will raze
Comes hell
To cover in a deadly haze
Do you hear it?
Can you feel it?
Can you taste it?
Can you see it?
If you do
Then all hope is lost
You've lived your life...

The Calm Before
The wind it wails a banshee's shriek
Torrent waves thrash the boat, so bleak
Balance is a dream, unattainable yet
As the ship tosses in its perilous net
Darkness descends, a shroud of dread
Echoing moans, the dying sea's bed
A phantom hand upon the helm
Steering the vessel to a watery realm
The storm rages on, with tempestuous glee
Tearing the sails with savage debris
A dance of death, on the raging sea
The ship, a pawn, in a demonic spree
The wind it howls an evil tune ...

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 coarse
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...
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 coarse
The sun shines with a jealous glow when you appear
And ravens flee as though a becon of kindness illuminates

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
Do...

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 ...
