POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Floating into the abyss, searching for the light to shine
Whatta to do
What am I doing with my life
Waiting for something to decide
What is there for me to strive
When will the tears no longer be denied
Do you remember feeling so bright
So naive, so content, so alive?
What am I doing with my life
Searching, hoping for that drive
Fighting, waiting to test out that knife
When will help finally arrive
When the lake has at last dried
Or when there is nothing left to define?
What am I doing with my life
When will the ideations divide
How will I figure my purposed design ...

When will help finally arrive
When the lake has at last dried
Or when there is nothing left to define?
What am I doing with my life
When will the ideations divide
How will I figure my purposed design ...

Idealize
Harsh are the words that berate
Soon will the silence overtake
Fantasize ways to hush the voice
But in the end I will make the right choice
It's never too late
Soon will the silence overtake
Fantasize ways to hush the voice
But in the end I will make the right choice
It's never too late

Yearn
The heart feels too heavy
Sometimes too difficult to carry on
What mistakes I wish to alter
But knowing the chance will never occur
Wishes upon wishes to turn back time
And never do I awake, back next to her
Acceptance is the only way forward
Though I refuse to open my eyes
How deep in denial I prance
Memories floating and fading
There is only one way to return to my love
But I'm too afraid of the journey
Sometimes too difficult to carry on
What mistakes I wish to alter
But knowing the chance will never occur
Wishes upon wishes to turn back time
And never do I awake, back next to her
Acceptance is the only way forward
Though I refuse to open my eyes
How deep in denial I prance
Memories floating and fading
There is only one way to return to my love
But I'm too afraid of the journey

Heavy
The weight, the weight, the weight
Boulders stacking upon boulders
No longer I know how much more I can take
How heavy it rests on these shoulders
No matter how hard I run from this fate
It seeks for me to fulfill dark orders
I yearn for the release of this ache
So deep do I desire to hold her
But to no avail, theres no escape
From these heavy heavy boulders
Boulders stacking upon boulders
No longer I know how much more I can take
How heavy it rests on these shoulders
No matter how hard I run from this fate
It seeks for me to fulfill dark orders
I yearn for the release of this ache
So deep do I desire to hold her
But to no avail, theres no escape
From these heavy heavy boulders

What Could It Mean
Undo
Not what is
Forgotten
Over the deep
Regrets
Torn to bits.
Unleash the
Nether's
Arrival,
Then shall
Everyone in
Life
Yield uncertainty
Not what is
Forgotten
Over the deep
Regrets
Torn to bits.
Unleash the
Nether's
Arrival,
Then shall
Everyone in
Life
Yield uncertainty

Tethered to the past
Time began with voices
Whispering in the head
They often made the choices
Enshrouded with dread
What do they want?
Loud with decisions
Why do they taunt?
Constant collisions
But along came you
A goofy smile spread
You were troubled too
Together we tread
A cheek to kiss
A hand to hold
Here in the abyss
Sweet whispers told
How theyd coo
Seemingly harmonized
The luck to have met you
I was surprised
Free I wished
From the bickering chorus
You were a gift
Who was i...

Who
Everyone who claimed
To know you
Aren't so pained,
Tears rolled for who
That is not you
Obituary suffused
With vacancy
Couldn't see an issue,
Memories watched hazily
In silence I sit patiently
They know not
The princess in my heart
Dragons I'd fought
For our lives to start
But the battle I lost
My life turned to frost
To know you
Aren't so pained,
Tears rolled for who
That is not you
Obituary suffused
With vacancy
Couldn't see an issue,
Memories watched hazily
In silence I sit patiently
They know not
The princess in my heart
Dragons I'd fought
For our lives to start
But the battle I lost
My life turned to frost

I did this to myself
I created this world
The last has ended
Sat on the bookshelf
Solemn and dusty
This isnt what I intended
The misery that persists
Through the broken old realm
Beats deep in my chest
My heart in knots and twists
The distractions overwhelm
I need to accept
The fate I've undone
I did this to myself
The last has ended
Sat on the bookshelf
Solemn and dusty
This isnt what I intended
The misery that persists
Through the broken old realm
Beats deep in my chest
My heart in knots and twists
The distractions overwhelm
I need to accept
The fate I've undone
I did this to myself

I miss her
Like the ocean
Misses the moon
My heart loses motion
He refuses to tune
I miss her smile
Like the earth
Misses the rain
It's been a while
Since hes felt warmth
Each beat with pain
I miss her lips
Like a flower
Misses the sun
Her words grip
They drip so sour
I know she is done
And I miss her
Misses the moon
My heart loses motion
He refuses to tune
I miss her smile
Like the earth
Misses the rain
It's been a while
Since hes felt warmth
Each beat with pain
I miss her lips
Like a flower
Misses the sun
Her words grip
They drip so sour
I know she is done
And I miss her

She will not wait
I dont expect it
I hope she finds
What she needs
I hope she thrives
And sprout her seeds
She will love
She will hurt
I wont shove
I wont alert
She will carry on
And become her best
I wait til dawn
With no rest
She'll do great
But until shes ready
I will wait
I hope she finds
What she needs
I hope she thrives
And sprout her seeds
She will love
She will hurt
I wont shove
I wont alert
She will carry on
And become her best
I wait til dawn
With no rest
She'll do great
But until shes ready
I will wait
