POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write ever since I know myself. This doesn't mean that I write a lot, I don't actually, but I still have a pen and paper under my pillow, just in case, if you know what I mean. I like to express myself through poetry. It's my safe heaven.
waltz
I know it'll have an end
my angel of death
all the comfort, all the warmth
the safety of your arms
will fade into oblivion
soon
I know you'll kiss my life away
so dance with me today
shadows of the dark
ignite a dying spark
I know I have my demons to feed
yet I let my passion bleed
memories of you
in blue
I followed you into the ocean's depth
sought to touch your last breath
I know a ghost's pursue
would kill me before you
danced with me at long last
empty spirits of a forgotten past
I know my...

goodbye
there's winter in my head
its snow hides within the stench of the dead
laughter went first, then my smile
now even my tears lie lifeless in a sty
slaughtered dreams, dried up hopes
stare at innocence's putrefied corpse
love buried six feet under
faded into the howling thunder
of morality's abandoned graveyard
filled with withered flowers, suffocating scars
as the stars gaze at the nothingness of reality
embedded into lethargic vanity
while those compulsive urges writhe in agony
trying in vain to abstain from this...

Dark Rainbow
deep inside the labyrinth of lustful lies
there's a sparkling light
that guides
to a derisive demise
of black bloody bliss
a kiss
a memory of entangled lips
creeps
to the surface of pain
of an aching brain
head up high
high above the defiled skies
the tearful sighs
in bloodred eyes
hush, be brave
and crave
for a ride on a dark rainbow
to land on pure snow
erase those images from your mind
push the needle deeper inside
it never happened
you've never seen him end
never wept over his...

No More
wait, hold on a bit
one deep breath
think it over again
turn away from the ocean's depth
what happened to your dreams girl
shattered inside a vanishing time sphere
you've missed too many portals
you've met too many wizards
too many opportunities
flew by without inquiries
there's nothing left to lose, nothing to gain
as you face every of them shut door
hear that sigh crawl
no more
wait, hang on a bit
one deep breath ...
one deep breath
think it over again
turn away from the ocean's depth
what happened to your dreams girl
shattered inside a vanishing time sphere
you've missed too many portals
you've met too many wizards
too many opportunities
flew by without inquiries
there's nothing left to lose, nothing to gain
as you face every of them shut door
hear that sigh crawl
no more
wait, hang on a bit

I love you
I walk on forsaken paths
embellished with embroideries of ethereal breaths
and sublime whispers of I love you
I love you
I love you
love you
echoes through my bloodless veins
mars the clinking sound of my chains
I love you
chimes through my brains
unveils the poison of tender touches
entwined with frail kisses
and the scent of obsessive passion
as I walk on the avenue of manic devotion
venture into its blizzard of lust flakes
inhale its aromatic heartaches
I love you
I love you
love you

Who are you?
I could have said I am cancer
the worse influence you've ever had
a thing that eats up every living cell
a thing that makes you lose your head
I could have said I am darkness
infected with utter contempt
with nothing around but emptiness
something you’ll bitterly resent
I could have said I am nothing
a ridiculous infatuation of your fantasy
a floating ship that’s about to sink
captured by a moment of sheer ecstasy
I could have said I am taken
by an illusion of reality shattered
as I come closer to this...

Eclipse
wonder what’s like to hold on
to a scent of a touch long gone
what’s like to kiss a memory
of pure lust’s reverie
and then smile to the world
wonder what’s like to caress
a shadow’s rising chest
what’s like to long for a breath
that once whispered death
and then smile to the world
as if it was from your core
smile when your dreams collapse
and you fall into loneliness’ traps
smile when your soul is bleeding
tears over a forgotten sapphire ring
smile when there’s no light
at the end of...

Whispers of Vanity
Drunk on tears of steaming blood
Sunken deep under the mask of love
Carried by the winds of lust
Secretly whispered in a voice so soft
A wish of night, a wish into the night
has left my lips shivering with delight
and asked the moon and her stars
to let me dwell in your arms
With a dream of a kiss worth dying for
Stuck in a shitty place I abhor
Flesh reeking poignantly from
Filthy fuckery frozen in fumes of home
Hush, little baby, don't you cry
The world around you is a lie
And I dream of poison...
Sunken deep under the mask of love
Carried by the winds of lust
Secretly whispered in a voice so soft
A wish of night, a wish into the night
has left my lips shivering with delight
and asked the moon and her stars
to let me dwell in your arms
With a dream of a kiss worth dying for
Stuck in a shitty place I abhor
Flesh reeking poignantly from
Filthy fuckery frozen in fumes of home
Hush, little baby, don't you cry
The world around you is a lie
And I dream of poison...

Hold Me
when the sky turns dark
and stalkers gaze from behind a hood
waiting for that moment
hold me
when my mind is someplace else
drifting like a rubber raft
in the middle of the ocean
hold me
when blood drips from my skin
and I’m mesmerized by how
life’s running out
hold me
when I scream in pain
and my body becomes a burden
too heavy to bear
hold me
when my ideals crumble
into thousands of pieces
in front of my very eyes
hold me
when love cries
dark red tears into my heart

in loving memory of...
these haunting thoughts
always here as the night comes
creeping up on my cradle of crematory remains
where in a quiescent silence nothingness plays
the piano underneath a halo of sorrow
flooded with the starlit sky's indigo
imprisoned within deplorable desolation
yearning for an escape of this sensation
I attempt to take a step outside the wall of lies
the frantic chit chat and some courtesy hi's
but his beguiling tunes lure me back
into being a worthless wreck
just a stare into his woeful eyes
and I flirt with my...

You're mine
your golden locks of hair tickling my nostrils
just imagine how hysterical that feels
your perfectly carved deep-set green eyes
glisten while staring at me at nights
that alluring frozen grin on your lips
my boost to heaven as I watch you strip
I know you crave to break free
feel the thrill of a killing spree
leave your wooden box behind
a dumb dream that makes you blind
but let me tell you something
you're nothing
strings hold your hands,
marionette
pull yourself together, the show begins in three ...

Wanna play?
Tell me
Have you seen the spiderwebs that garnish the air in my room
The black widows dance in the light of the moon
Have you heard my cobras slither under my bed
A bottle of red wine whisper to my dagger on the nightstand
Tell me love
Have I scared you away
Or do you still wanna play
Tell me
Have you smelled the scent of the dead red roses blooming on my window sill
The picture of innocence lost among many a pill
Tell me
Have you touched the desolate desire on my scorching skin
The darkness of the apocalyptic abyss that resides...
