POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I find joy in reading poetry as well as giving all poets, writers and anyone with a story a better reason to write by helping them showcase their work to the world for generations into the future.
RESURRECTION
Sounds of disintegration
Shattering silence
Manifest in songs
Of dying swans
Within abandoned graves
Bodies of dreams
In sacred death alliance
Await to be reborn
Night is raining
Feathers of a blackbird
Ruby redness
Resurrects in withered rose
Eyes caress
Beautiful sadness
Of a lonely deer
In mists of distant coast
Aurora riding ecstasy
Upon demonic unicorn
Dissolves
The ghosts of fear
And holdes infinity
Of endless universe
Inside a single
Salty tear
Never alone
Forever alone
Darkness...
Shattering silence
Manifest in songs
Of dying swans
Within abandoned graves
Bodies of dreams
In sacred death alliance
Await to be reborn
Night is raining
Feathers of a blackbird
Ruby redness
Resurrects in withered rose
Eyes caress
Beautiful sadness
Of a lonely deer
In mists of distant coast
Aurora riding ecstasy
Upon demonic unicorn
Dissolves
The ghosts of fear
And holdes infinity
Of endless universe
Inside a single
Salty tear
Never alone
Forever alone

The Exception...
Your words contained a poison…
Laced with pure insanity…
They circled around in my head…
Destroying all that’s left of my vanity…
Like weapons of mass destruction…
Each word so carefully aimed…
Leaving me broke and beaten…
At the very mention of your name…
As you used to be an exception…
But over time you became a regret…
A sadness infecting my sunshine…
That was impossible to forget…
The rainbow’s black outer edge…
And the flowers fallen petal…
The whisper in the darkness…
Like rust that attacks the metal…
Because when rules are...

Caterpillars
Caterpillars of your mind,
Nibbling at bad metaphors,
Before turning into butterflies
Of delusion.
Eyes and teeth hurting,
Like there's someone new
Back there, poking around,
Going to come through,
Going to say something
That will give you both away.
Caterpillars of your mind;
Furry accordions on slow
Thought-journeys across
The leaves and branches
Of experience,
Quietly hoping to not get
Eaten by giant birds.

The Moon Invited Us In
And the moon invited us in
Still shadows are cast in the dead of night
And the glare of wisdom, enlighten those with sight
And the moon invited us in
As lovers entwined in perceptive sin
Not all life sleeps, when the sun goes down
Not all petals fold, under the night queens crown
And the moon invited us in
Nocturnal survival of the nighttime din
A call on the wind, a cat on the prowl
A fox playing slyly, as guard dog growls
And the moon invited us in
As predators seek food with the wights and the Jin
Screeches on the night, the beat of wings...
Still shadows are cast in the dead of night

RIDING A DYING DONKEY
Like a promise of a junkie
Shot down in golden flames
When you ride a dying donkey
You´ll always miss the train
Distance killed the headlights
Now everything´s unclear
The darkest edge of twilight
Just did not disappear
Wouldn´t say it´s safer
By any rules or laws
To lick syrup from the sabre
Than honey from the sword
It´s like a soup so chunky
With far too many chefs
Get off your dying donkey
And leave the town instead

THE LOVE I NEVER HAD
There in his arms
was the woman
I could never
call my own.
I had loved her with all I had,
but all I had wasn't enough
to win her heart.
I had loved her for all she was,
but all she was, was only meant
for someone else.
There in her heart
was the spot I
could never take
for there he was,
the man I could
only wish I'd be.
She's my first love,
my first heartbreak,
the first poem I wrote,
the song that never
did I dare to sing.
She's a dream that never came true,
the one that I have never stopped
wishing...

PROSTITUTE WITH LOVE
The corner is where she stood on many cold night.
Her body was always ready and always on sale every night.
Hers is truly a story that is far from easy to tell.
It truly is a sad tale of a mother that only meant well.
Her love for her child was sincere and it is true that for it she walked through fires of hell. Her body was for sale for many different prices on many different nights. But always for free to crooked cops just so that she could avoid cold nights in jail cells.
Even when it felt wrong she still prayed that her body did not fail before she had...

Lost In Love
A billion words I want to whisper in your ears,
Endless love message I want to give you,
Long night chats I miss with you,
A million kisses I want to kiss you,
Timeless time I want to spend with you,
Long looks into your eyes I wish to,
Holding you always I wish.
Neglect is what I receive from you,
Hate is what you give in return to me.
It hurts to get all this in return,
It is unfair to get this in return.
Am hurt,
Am crying,
I regret.
But each time I look into your eyes,am lost.
Each time am next to you,am lost,
Each time I...

Truth and Lies
She's fighting her demons
There's war inside her head
She believes she's worthless
So she hides in her bed
She sees her reflection
In the mirror on her wall
She thinks she looks ugly
So tears begin to fall
She thinks she can't be loved
From mistakes in her past
Memories keep haunting
They seem to always last
She still hears the boy's words
Resounding in her ears
He said she is too fat
That added to her fears
That made her to stop eating
But it just made her sick
So she tried using pills
But her gut...

Don't Let Your Dreams Dry Out
Young man and young woman die young because they are not living up to their dreams.
Life for them is just a trial and error, a piece of scene they just getting along with.
They are not living up to their potential,
Chasing after every opportunities that speed passes them like a lightning flashing their eyes in a fraction of a milliseconds,
While their reciting the laws of physics as the retina in the back of the eyes decoding every bit of information,
Transmitting it to be interpreted by the brain to get a clear picture of their so called "dream life ",only...

Faded Like Tears In The Rain
I'm writing this poem with a red pen, with blood from my broken heart as ink
They say time's supposed to heal
But fuck it's moving like a snail
I miss her so bad went looking for her yesterday
And it's funny how everyone told me I just missed her like they knew
Now I'm here regretting all her birthdays I missed
Would tell her I'm coming but i was just
like those people faking orgasm
Now I'm falling like Autumn leaves
Going through the coldest of winter
Hoping life will spring up
Heart broken praying my heart will get back to its original shape...
