POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I just enjoy writing if my mind allows me to. Nothing serious.
Half, the Shortest Month
Cupid knocks
As door unlocks
Open to the pain
The cherub nocks
As arrow locks
Lifting up the aim
It hits it's target
Error of margin
The arrow leaves her dead
It's love to care
With cupid prayer
Amen, at your head
Massacre of saints
On this day
Oh, Heavens above!
This little angel of sparks
Eagle eyed to hit its Hallmark
Confused with love
Love does not have just one day
Share it always
Share it much
If Valentine's is the only day
You're just...
As door unlocks
Open to the pain
The cherub nocks
As arrow locks
Lifting up the aim
It hits it's target
Error of margin
The arrow leaves her dead
It's love to care
With cupid prayer
Amen, at your head
Massacre of saints
On this day
Oh, Heavens above!
This little angel of sparks
Eagle eyed to hit its Hallmark
Confused with love
Love does not have just one day
Share it always
Share it much
If Valentine's is the only day
You're just...

...And Another Thing
Burrow a hole in the clouds.
Hidden rabbit smelled by the hounds.
Hoping to never be found.
Forming in cotton white.
To gouge my eyes out and throw them to the future.
Inspiration from what cannot be known.
My tongue, it tastes so sweet.
Forming steps to greet.
Destination on sore feet.
Storming throughout the night.
The aftermath is quite poetic.
Artistry emerged from hectic.
Buried past now erected.
What a statuesque find.
To ground my sight now, bestowed unto the doer.
In persuasion from...

Passenger
I'm surrounded by people who love me.
But they're distant.
I am essentially alone.
My soul lays in my loved ones.
But i am distant.
How essential am i?
Where are my lips but dry?
Lacking confidence, my low voice turns muttered.
What confidence can be conjured in constant failure?
If I've never achieved, what label earned can be, besides a failure?
I fight when I'm not lazy.
I am always lazy now. And then.
Fighting is tiresome i guess.
So many lessons learned.
Yet, unable to implement. ...

Spine
I run my hand
Up the thorns
Shredding me softly
Like a sawblade
Stemming from the pain
Rooted in the spine
Wilted to the core
To bloom on severed vine
--
To bleed upon the seed
See what it produces
To pluck my soul so easily
I seem to have my uses
-
To feed upon the breed
Singing professors in their field
This'll lead to choking
Such collapse reduces
-
To mislead the freed
Elemental carcass bone
Dismissal of the barbs
Leaves, with mass excuses
---

HomeSick
Mages of the nations
Rages last for ages
Crazes in amazement
With these pages in their cages
Pig shit, bottled up in fragrence
Quick lick home invasion
Broken mirrors and i couldn't give a fuck
Ugly fuckers, making their own luck
Nothing to hinder, doing just enough
Swallowed pride, words to throw up
Angel wings, all but plucked
Slavery, doing what we want
Devil dreams, brand new
Commonality brings strictly taboo
Individuals grouped
Render in these clues
Offender in the truth
Remember...

Rain Dance
I watch the rain dance
It pours forth such passion
Puddles my emotions
Dissipation into stratus
I watch the rain dance
It swirls, and moves and dips
Step by step it sings
Falling to my lips
It pours forth such passion
Puddles my emotions
Dissipation into stratus
I watch the rain dance
It swirls, and moves and dips
Step by step it sings
Falling to my lips

A pair of treasures to never keep
One day
We will die
Then what will we do?
My name will be forever lost.
In time
Forgotten by the few
Who knew
One day
We will pass
Then what will be new?
All the chances that i passed
Each moments missed with you
I find my life
An awful sight
Full of self neglect
Waiting idle on the sideline
As if already dead
I find my time
Is all i have
With nothing but reflect
I am less apart of this world
And more living in my head
I do not know ...
We will die

Centipede with Broken Legs
She's already dead
Just still in her body
Lost her mind
While she's still walking
Slithering in crawl
Not knowing at all
Wax brain drips in fall
Belted neck and buckled knees
Limbs hanging from trees
Lost in her mind
No knowing at all
Concept of killing time
Precious life so rare
Unbelievable
To embrace that we are living!
Bored
Center impedes upon the edge
Not knowing where each begins
Middle of the end
Sentience in shock
She continues to walk
Hunted prey to...
Just still in her body
Lost her mind
While she's still walking
Slithering in crawl
Not knowing at all

Limbs hanging from trees
Lost in her mind

Concept of killing time
Precious life so rare
Unbelievable
To embrace that we are living!

Deflowered Earth
Virgin of thought
Pollen pollutants
Extinct the bee
Zero prudent
Deflowered Earth
Blessing in curse
Wilted in birth
We hold no worth
Expiration stamped
Spore cloud of loss
Torn of the wings
Songs that die off
Truth falls to die
The ground where it lies
Surrender paradise
Buzzing mind hive
Pollen pollutants
Extinct the bee
Zero prudent
Deflowered Earth
Blessing in curse
Wilted in birth
We hold no worth
Expiration stamped
Spore cloud of loss
Torn of the wings
Songs that die off
Truth falls to die
The ground where it lies
Surrender paradise
Buzzing mind hive
