POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
And there she sleeps, with tears in her eyes and flowers in her lungs. To say to sleep is to die- No more no less- and by a sleep to say we end The heartache. So hear me now, my lover! The light of my life in my horizons. May all my kisses be remembered.

BOUND AND LOVED
Bound to a secluded castle of sand,
Engulfed by my shadow of loathing and shame,
Nothing but a ghost in man’s land,
This injured beast cannot be tamed.
Sprouted in the overgrown garden full of thorns,
Like a weed that thrives in vain – a stray without a name.
All the yellow roses that have been heartlessly torn,
Have been replaced with wolfsbane,
And poppies to tranquilize the beast in pain.
Yet…when you stole into my garden,
My desolate, ice-cold heart burst into flames
Perhaps a mixture of fear and ecstasy
At a curious visitor’s...
Engulfed by my shadow of loathing and shame,
Nothing but a ghost in man’s land,
This injured beast cannot be tamed.
Sprouted in the overgrown garden full of thorns,
Like a weed that thrives in vain – a stray without a name.
All the yellow roses that have been heartlessly torn,
Have been replaced with wolfsbane,
And poppies to tranquilize the beast in pain.
Yet…when you stole into my garden,
My desolate, ice-cold heart burst into flames
Perhaps a mixture of fear and ecstasy
At a curious visitor’s...

GREY CITY
Everyone and everything in the world
seems harsh
people kill
people die
They scream and shout
Some break things fought for,
some break people
Toys abandoned by the road
A teddy bear, all alone
Manipulation
Cold-heartedness
Faking trust
Faking love
They just stare
They stare me down
Like a sideshow freak
Kindness is foolishness
Friends will all leave
(Don't they just pity me?)
I put up a facade
Being aggressive to no end
One mistake set me off
Then I was a teddy bear...

I thank you love..
I remember us from about 5 years ago. Remember? Where did we first meet? Even then, wherever you were if I could hear you, I would run to you without second thoughts. Back then, my young heart was only so playful. I was a mess. When I would see or hear you smile, I felt something like never before. Didn't know... Wasn't told...
I'm sorry I couldn’t express my feelings because I was too young and too naive. But I wanted you so bad I would tear up. And only keeping that in mind, I never stopped my feelings for you. You were always on my mind and my heart. Always wondered if you...

Humanity lost
My period of silence is no longer sacred
I fear I've lost my soul
I sit and stare blankly at all the dead before me
The bloodlust has taken its toll
They say the first to go is your hesitance to kill
But I don't know that to be true
For what I lost first I am not sure
I don't even have a clue
Where do I go from here
My heart starts to wonder
Can there ever be peace on earth?
or will war always tear asunder?
Take pride in your innocence
At least your heart be swayed
There are evil things in this world
and many souls...
I fear I've lost my soul
I sit and stare blankly at all the dead before me
The bloodlust has taken its toll
They say the first to go is your hesitance to kill
But I don't know that to be true
For what I lost first I am not sure
I don't even have a clue
Where do I go from here
My heart starts to wonder
Can there ever be peace on earth?
or will war always tear asunder?
Take pride in your innocence
At least your heart be swayed
There are evil things in this world
and many souls...

Memories
Walking that road again figuratively and physically
It's cold but I can bear
I'd rather be walking here with you home safely
Then to be crawling back to there
I walk alone as it seems they had done a number this time
You're not here to hold me near
Walking down a broken road in faded jeans and a hoodie
With nothing but my own fear
Lights flash at me as I walk alone
and I turn around to see
It's you in that car flashing your lights to get my attention
I stop walking and you pull up next to me
You roll down the window and I glare at...
It's cold but I can bear

Glorious Persuit
When life is too hard,
and your heart in shards,
remember, music is not far,
and will hug you wherever you are.
so now, close your eyes,
and to the sky, you will fly,
you won't have to wonder why,
you'll just sit on the grass and lie.
Just look to the star
forget that life is so damn hard,
piece your heart that's in shards,
and just listen to this, wherever you are.
Thanks, ambition.
For everything you do...
if it weren't for you,
I don't think I'd ever make it through.
Never stop being you.
Just keep doing...

Anxiety's call to me
Anyway now panic will come,
It races through my body like a drug,
I never asked for this panic it came to me,
I'm so lonely in this falling temple of a world,
But everyone is lonely in their own way,
The panic is coming every day,
Almost routine,
Why can't everyone stop,
stop...everything.
Anxiety calls to me, I hear it through the thrush,
It creeps like a wolf,
Waiting for my day to crush,
Anxiety calls to me,
day and night.
Waiting for all to crumble
But always keep your head up high and realize,
Someone WILL be...

No matter where I turn,
my eyes will always burn
these tears, oh how they sting
sad voices always ring
deep within my mind
everywhere to find
a sunset? A sun storm?
Oh, why must I mourn...
I really wish you'd stay
even if you're not that far away
Well, suppose now I must say
see you soon, my lover.
Thank you for wiping these tears of mine away.

YOU//ME
You may think that you're not good enough,
But that's simply not true
You may think that you're not good enough
But the only real thing holding you back
from a real chance at happiness...
is you.
So stop saying that you can't do it.
That you'll fail that test.
Because you'll do at least okay,
if you just try your best.

Absence of Colour
My heart is weak
The shade of the sunset is unique
My mind melts along with my heart
The pain is worse than a dagger that's sharp
Then I think of you...
You and me
Sitting in a tree
Happy as we can be
.....but it's all a DREAM.
Please help.
My soul will melt.
Please hold my hand, and lift me up into the sky.
Sometimes I just wonder why.
Maybe my dreams will come true,
And I'll stop being so terribly blue.
The shade of the sunset is unique

Redemption
You hear voices...
They grow louder and louder
They grow louder and louder
The walls start to close in
You stand there alone
Complete darkness
Voices screaming over you
You try to escape
But it tells you there is no way out
It tells you that you are alone
You try and run away
You're tired
You just want a break
But in the end, you are trapped again
It repeats that you are alone
But one day you meet someone
A little glow sparks
It grows weaker day by day
It tries to lie and convince you
Convince you...
They grow louder and louder
They grow louder and louder
The walls start to close in
You stand there alone
Complete darkness
Voices screaming over you
You try to escape
But it tells you there is no way out
It tells you that you are alone
You try and run away
You're tired
You just want a break
But in the end, you are trapped again
It repeats that you are alone
But one day you meet someone
A little glow sparks
It grows weaker day by day
It tries to lie and convince you
Convince you...

Tendencies
Falling away from myself I look into the mirror one last time
I sometimes wonder if my sanity has something to do with these tendencies
Tendencies to hurt
Tendencies to destroy
Tendencies to feel someone else's blood oozing through my fingers
I'm losing control
Since when did I have control?
I laugh as I raise the blade to my throat
I've never had control
Control myself of my vicious tendencies
I cut myself just a little to feel what many of my victims have felt
Not enough
Fresh blood is what I need
I've lost control
I...
