POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write from the heart, the head, and the soul. Not perfect but I enjoy doing it.
A dream
I close my eyes
My mind does wander
Dreaming upon a cloud
As I do ponder
Memories will play
As I will search
Looking for gold
Beneath the earth
I fly above
The moonlit sky
I see the stars
As I pass by
Looking to find
A torch to hold
To vanquish the darkness
And warm the cold
My mind does wander
Dreaming upon a cloud
As I do ponder
Memories will play
As I will search
Looking for gold
Beneath the earth
I fly above
The moonlit sky
I see the stars
As I pass by
Looking to find
A torch to hold
To vanquish the darkness
And warm the cold

Inner complications
The mind is an unique thing
It's hard to understand
There are inner complications
It's hard to make a plan
Emotions can cause you pain
The damage that was done
But without them, you will fall
Like a top, you have been spun
Flung back and forth
Like a pendulum
Trying to avoid the truth inside
From this, you try to run
Needing to be logical
But afraid you'll never realize
That you need to follow both
Or your mind will be paralyzed
Stuck in an endless cycle ...

Endless nightmare
You start to have a nightmare
A lost soul in the darkness
Trapped in an endless maze
The devil was aware
Filled with fear, you look around
The walls are caving in
You try to make it out
But no exit can be found
The room begins to shake
You start to lose your mind
Then you fall beneath the floor
As your reality starts to break
Voices begin to whisper
As you awake in a closed off room
A shadow is behind you
You can only whimper
Unsure of where you are
You can't believe your eyes ...
A lost soul in the darkness
Trapped in an endless maze
The devil was aware
Filled with fear, you look around
The walls are caving in
You try to make it out
But no exit can be found
The room begins to shake
You start to lose your mind
Then you fall beneath the floor
As your reality starts to break
Voices begin to whisper
As you awake in a closed off room
A shadow is behind you
You can only whimper
Unsure of where you are
You can't believe your eyes ...

Vulnerable
Hardest thing to do in life is trust
To allow yourself to be vulnerable
Afraid to be left in the dust
So you stay completely hidden
Thinking you aren't worth it
Your mind is full of sadness
Tired of the bullshit
So you ignore the world
Swimming against the current
Unsure how to accept
Fighting against the serpent
The pain you have inside
Trying to find a path
To begin your inner therapy
Racing around the track
Through the finish line
To allow yourself to be vulnerable
Afraid to be left in the dust
So you stay completely hidden
Thinking you aren't worth it
Your mind is full of sadness
Tired of the bullshit
So you ignore the world
Swimming against the current
Unsure how to accept
Fighting against the serpent
The pain you have inside
Trying to find a path
To begin your inner therapy
Racing around the track
Through the finish line

Battle of my mind
I contemplate my existence
Question the path I lead
Look for an inner voice
A way to plant a seed
Because shrouded in the darkness
Is a light I yearn to find
A dream of a star
As I try to break the bind
An eternal flame within
But lost within a storm
Fighting to be on top
But my head is filled with scorn
A battle of my mind
Unsure of what to do
Going day by day
And hoping to make it through
Question the path I lead

A way to plant a seed
Because shrouded in the darkness
Is a light I yearn to find
A dream of a star

An eternal flame within
But lost within a storm
Fighting to be on top
But my head is filled with scorn
A battle of my mind
Unsure of what to do
Going day by day
And hoping to make it through

Split Mind
Its hard for me to understand
The truth or my destiny
I continue to think
My mind is my recipe
But torn between two sides
Never truly whole
Like two personalities
But interlinking souls
I'm a mystery
Even to myself
Unsure of who I am
Unsure of what will help
I get lost in the meaning
I struggle just to live
Alone in my thoughts
I'm alone on a grid
Wishing for purpose
I look for direction
Needing some answers
This test, one correction
Locked in a safe ...

Drown
So many questions we ask
But no answers are found
Suggesting the task
But nothings around
Compressing the trash
Can't hear a sound
Forgotten the facts
And lost underground
I'm checking the past
The truth that I'm bound
My loneliest path
Underneath i will drown
The fish I will catch
The Cerberus hound
The bright fiery blast
This hell is my town
I light up the match
The king has been crowned
Now burnt straight to ash
The holiest mound
The light won't attach ...

Shackles
Fear has always chained me
To a wall of self doubt
I have tried to escape
But my mind won't allow
Shackles around my soul
As I try to awaken
From the deepest darkness
The demons awaiting
Watching my failures
The mistakes I have made
Hope for a second chance
As my time seems to fade
My hope locked in a box
With no key to open
My memories replay
All the good ones broken
Stuck on an endless road
No other path appears
The car runs out of gas
No single place is near ...

My hope locked in a box
With no key to open

Stuck on an endless road
No other path appears
The car runs out of gas
No single place is near ...

Tired
I'm tired of feeling the same way
No revision to my story
A fate worse than death
Is the same old inventory
If you aren't moving forward
Then you'll get lost in the tide
Stuck in the present
Without a way to hide
Alone but yet surrounded
Loved but left behind
Only thing thats there
Are the fallen remnants of time
I wish I could change the past
Flip fate into a new card
Piece together my mind
As we find the fallen shard
I try to create a flame
That is eternal in my heart ...

Grow
I'm always fighting these demons
Its hard for me to let go
Even when I break through the barrier
The pain inside will grow
I've tried to work it out
On who I'm meant to be
Dreaming of a brand new day
Hoping that I find my destiny
Lonely nights as I lay awake
Wishing for a way through the storm
My heart just seems to break apart
And my soul is simply torn
I'm always fighting these demons
Its hard for me to let go
Even when I break the barrier
The pain inside will grow
I've tried to work...

My heart just seems to break apart
And my soul is simply torn
I'm always fighting these demons
Its hard for me to let go
Even when I break the barrier
The pain inside will grow

Pain
I feel like absolute shit
Constant ringing in my head
I'm losing my mind
Not much more can be said
I feel like I'm dying
I'm losing all hope
I can't seem to sleep
No way for me to cope
I wish for peace
For the end of my life
For quiet to be found
To find a simple light
I'm depressed and alone
And I'm afraid I'm falling apart
Struggling to feel my own head
I'm losing my soul and my heart
Its hard for me to write
For me to tell my tale
For it hurts to be alive
My mind is...
Constant ringing in my head
I'm losing my mind
Not much more can be said
I feel like I'm dying
I'm losing all hope
I can't seem to sleep
No way for me to cope
I wish for peace
For the end of my life
For quiet to be found
To find a simple light
I'm depressed and alone
And I'm afraid I'm falling apart
Struggling to feel my own head
I'm losing my soul and my heart
Its hard for me to write
For me to tell my tale
For it hurts to be alive
My mind is...
