POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Valentine
You ignore my calls
Why?
You never answer your door
Why?
These men in uniform tell me to leave you alone
but why?
Is it really such a crime for me to love you so?
I just want things to remember you by
I have a small collection thus far
The napkin you threw away with the paper cup at the coffee shop
The receipt you dropped in the parking lot at the market
I even have a copy of the restraining order with your lovely autograph on it
I have some lovely red hairs from your hair brush
A shuttle from your...

Balloon
Take my hand
Come away
Float with me
Let the clouds wisk us away
Sing the song that will carry us away
Even if we may live in my dreams
I will always look forward to this sleep
Even if no one hears my silent screams
Tell me you'll be mine to keep
Until we float away
Until we fall back awake
Because I don't fall asleep
I fall in love
And then I wake
So please, keep me drugged
I've never felt more intoxicated
And we'll dance, as the clouds freeze
They turn to glass and sparkle...

King
I only wanted to touch
to feel
to be
alive once more
I only wished for love
for sunshine
for happiness
And I had it all
right inside my arms
The warmth of your embrace
Kept me warm
Met you here in Autumn
And you left me frozen in Winter
In spring, the ice will turn to tears
But for now lets stay frozen in this waltz
Just before you go... promise me this
You won't forget me
You'll remember the good, not just the bad
You'll remember we used to be happy
Can you promise...
to feel
to be
alive once more
I only wished for love
for sunshine
for happiness
And I had it all
right inside my arms
The warmth of your embrace
Kept me warm
Met you here in Autumn
And you left me frozen in Winter
In spring, the ice will turn to tears
But for now lets stay frozen in this waltz
Just before you go... promise me this
You won't forget me
You'll remember the good, not just the bad
You'll remember we used to be happy
Can you promise...

Eden
Take a bite, wont you please?
Taste the sweetness with such ease
The juices roll down my chin
How can this be a sin?
My hands are sticky with the mess
This is wrong, I wont confess
Vivid color fills my eyes
The angels cry in the heaven skies
Take me away from my lovely Garden
But the taste of this forbiden fruit will linger on my tongue
For eternity to come
Taste the sweetness with such ease
The juices roll down my chin
How can this be a sin?
My hands are sticky with the mess
This is wrong, I wont confess
Vivid color fills my eyes
The angels cry in the heaven skies
Take me away from my lovely Garden
But the taste of this forbiden fruit will linger on my tongue
For eternity to come

Fruit Salad
Make sense, it does not
I will not try to elaborate
I miss the smell of yellowed books
I miss the sound of overlapping chatter
I was the background
Zoned I seemed, but there I was
And did remain
Somehow I never thought I would but..
I miss being ignored
At least it was something
Now I am air, so breathe me but do not acknowledge my existence
I am past tense
I am lost
Still I wait
Silence is my closest sibling
Pain is my safety blanket...

MONSTER (Part 1)
The story begins somewhere unknown to you and well known to me. In a time not known to man or beast. A princess with waves of ruby hair, her name was Stella. She was a sad soul and no one knew how broken inside she was.
One day she met a handsome prince with eyes like the ocean and he helped her be happy again. Alas, things are not always as they seem for he had his own curse and no matter how hard she tried to help him, she couldn't and she didn't love him no matter how badly she wanted to.
One day, while strolling about the palace grounds, she ventured to the garden. She gazed...

Honest Criticism
Why do I keep pumping out this lyrical, spiritual nonsense??
I need it like a beggar needs to eat
I've been away too many years
No, do not worry
This won't end in tears
You said I wasn't good enough
But does it have to be so complicated?
I don't need a million complex words to get my point across
You know what I mean
I'm the graffiti on your walls, c'mon you know what I want
Maybe I spent to many days in the quarter, watching humans eating one another
This here's MY world
So I'll play by MY rules...

Random Rantings of a retarded heart
For years we have been pumping out the same shit
Giving them what they want
What they "need"
Stop and halt
just give them what they deserve
Cut them down
Literally..

Tell my love before I break
What are the odds?
What's at stake?
If you'd look me in the eyes....
I'm telling you now
This war is on me
Ready
Aim
Don't Fire!
Just get out now
Leave before I take the shot
You're under the red eye
War and love
Reminds me of summer
You've got stars in your eyes
Soldiers fall back
This is my battle
Between myself
If I tell you jump
You better leap frog
A soldier becomes a machine
I cannot let love interfere with...

Mr. Smith
My heart
Beating
Like a steady, slow dripping faucet
When you came in, a drum solo began
You're the one, I want to spend forever with
You're the one I'd die without
People seem to believe its not real
But when you know, you just know
I couldn't prove it to anyone they should just watch
Cause its you and me
Forever
You are my fix, you're the drug I need
I've dreamt of you all my life
Now I have you
And soon to be your wife
I don't think it gets any better than that

Losing My Grip
Good God
How'd this even happen to me
I thought there was order
I thought I was on track again
This dress is ruined
Blood Blood
Painted over our faces
Forget who we are for just a while
Remember only the anger
Tonight your angel is gone
She was wrong being good was a drag
Being bad never felt this good
Tell me girl
Will you awake tomorrow feeling alright?
Because I think you should've fighted
He only wants to ruin you
Take what you took from him
But its fine ...

My hand and yours
Separated
By a glass wall
So close
I feel your heart beating
I can taste your lips
But here we wait
For this war to end
Tonight we lay awake
Praying for the struggle to be over
