POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
As a growing poet, I appreciate whatever comments that anyone cares to give to help me grow.
A Writer's Bane
Pens dance across oceans of white and black alike,
Elegantly, they spin and slide to the music they create,
Stories appear and another world is born,
A soul transferred, time lost and a heart, torn.
Slowly they rise as does the sanity of their creator decline,
A thousand lives lived through and a thousand eyes laid down to die,
A thousand tragedies, a thousand joys and still yet a thousand more,
The new land breathes a past that it cannot remember just yet.
A mirror shattered and all shall see through its shards, a piece of who they were, ...

The Narcissist
Roses dim but never grow,
In stars that shine not on saddened eyes,
Screaming yet in silence must,
Still she suffers but cannot die.
Yet you harm and claim blood your own,
Screech in fake agony with pointed finger,
Blasphemous to think other than you were wronged,
Slow poison to your loved ones forever lingered.
With sands that fall and seasons fly,
Hope anew flutters into their hearts,
Yet again and again arrows let loose,
Never letting wounds heal in time.
Questions you take and answers you give,
Doings...

A Reply To The Shard Collector
So its been forever since i've posted anything at all. This, unfortunately isn't new but a piece that hasn't made it to DUP and had stayed on my blog since 2015. Just thought it should be here even though the situations have changed. The shard collector is dead and Alice's hands are red.

Beautiful words yet they wound me so…
Reminding me of a lifetime that has passed,
No longer am I the same, my love,
The sands are falling and falling fast.
When will you tire...

Mirrors and Mockery
Bring me the illusion of all i had ever dared to dream of,
and then douse the fire to nothing,
Remnants of embers float to the sky to disintegrate to nothing,
Stars of cold light laugh at them.
The thorned rose hears their cruel jesters,
Opening its dreamy petals to listen but says absolutely nothing,
It's silence as deadly as the poison within its thorns,
Turns away and leaves them to such mockery.
Cradled sparks that wanted to grow as high as mountains,
Lighting up that dark world for others to see,
A dream nurtured then monstrously...

The Most Cruel
Random words that string themselves together,
A mind of their own with a puppet to emit them,
Coursing through the air and echoing against cold walls,
Clashing against one another, enough to cut through skin.
Unguarded and fragile it stands,
A heart that after so much torture, still bleeds,
Uttering every hidden syllable treasured dear,
Flowers of self-destruction fruits and reseeds.
A confession, a lie, a sliver of truth,
Crusted by time and rusted shut by fear,
Prized open when fear cancels itself out with fear,
When...

The Harshest Winter
Dearest love that holds my heart,
Why hast thou grown quiet and cold?
Has your affection for me disintegrated to nothing?
Or has your heart yearn for another to hold?
Eyes that turn away from my own worried ones,
Once warm hands that pull away from mine,
Looks of disdain cast by that beautiful face,
I beg those lips to not tell me goodbye.
As snow forms from crying skies,
And fall gently to the dead earth below,
I stand in the bitter cold as you cast me out,
So does hope leave my tortured soul.
Words never graced those lips it...

A Journey
Child of the earth, take me with thee,
Where the oceans roar and rivers sing,
Where winds serenade oh so sweetly,
And where whispers of the earth so great a bounty brings.
Take me on a journey with thee,
Where eagles soar and stallions run,
Kind rains wash away every sorrow,
Where rays of sunset kiss thee when the day is done.
Free from all the shadows,
Outrunning every perusing nightmare,
Worshipping the rotating stars in the sky,
Chasing the winds to God knows where.
A place where wondrous things stretch endlessly,
Valleys...

The Jester's Fate
Tear stained marks upon a painted face,
Bells ringing freely but sorrow sounds out,
Strangled words never leave that forced voice,
Trapped forever in this world of fakery.
Tell me of the jester,
Who leaps and prances on command,
Bound by not strings nor words,
But chains and crowned threats.
Labeled a fool for all to see,
Facades and trickery his bread and butter,
Always a joke and nothing more,
A toy, a tool for all to use.
Madness within madness,
His only asset left to utilize,
Slowly evaporating his own...

Too Precious To Have And To Hold
Tis a broken world that cut us with those shards,
The pieces of glass still lay within us,
Glowing with luminescent pains of the past,
Reflecting every inch of shattered trust.
So many cracks within that mirror,
Savagely done by our own bloodlinked kin,
The silver separating but still reflects,
Forgotten stories clawed onto tortured skin.
Red and angry those marks lay,
Though a death-like blue its heart did beat,
Dying inside but unable to die,
A revolving film did we have front seats.
Forced to relive them against our...

The Broken Flower
Words that were craved the most,
Touch that disintegrated my skin,
Burning stings from unforgiving tears,
A tongue whose words could never win.
A hand never raised to the youngling,
Yet words that tore and split at her core,
A bruised and beaten soul lay in pieces,
Yet never knowing why or what for.
Caged in the corner of her mind,
She burns the city in fury and agony,
Watching as the flames engulfed her,
A fading hope to finally be free.
She prayed to a God she knew didn't exist,
Asking Him to turn her tears to roses,
She...

My Mistake, Your Apology
Silence that was louder than thunder,
Absence that was sharper than a knife,
Untruths as hidden as the immaterial,
Your presence, a painful memory to my life.
Words i once believed,
A hand i once held dear,
Yet all were lovely lies,
Ever soothing to one's ears.
Gentle lips that had caressed my neck,
Though now it existed bitten and bleeding,
Eyes that i thought understood like no other,
Though now led to my own swollen and grieving.
You had understood my fading sanity once,
And i believe deep down you still do,
Failure...

What Will Always Be
Hurtful words do not pierce skin,
But instead, they wound the soul,
Blood that weeps from spirit torn,
Sewn shut lips shall take its toll.
Doubt that shreds your inner being,
Unyielding silence reigns supreme,
Blame and fault walk hand in hand,
The crack of that mask, never seen.
To reveal the worlds within a world,
Chip away at those porcelain lies,
That spread and hardened long ago,
To hide away shame and tainted ties.
Regret that stings your very being,
Things that were never in your control,
Fingers pointed with...
