POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
The Deep End
You step onto my paper tracking
blood across the floor.
When our tired eyes are pleading
to exit the door.
Still I sit in sadness thinking
on this state of mind
Is it okay to keep on looking
though I'll never find
How the time escaped my grasp
when standing near your stone.
When I fetched the biggest screw
to lose the smallest bone.
In the seconds of our living,
hours spent to grieve
Greed still powers over giving
what do you believe?
Still I sit in madness...

Buried
I woke today and thought of you
and all the times you helped me through.
To watch you fade infected me
and turned my outlook gray.
I know your pain then ceased to be,
but cannot grasp lifes mystery.
Of time and space and loss
injecting Gods for us to pray.
You held my hand to walk along
and I held yours to guide you on.
Though never got to say goodbye
it drives my mind astray.
So I know in Death we're free
but cannot for the life of me
find that peace although I try
to dig that dirt away.

Dark Days
I'm here to stay, but like in time
to fade away inside the crime
scene tainted by your touch
still tracking footprints on the ground.
I'm here today inside your mind
and fear the things I knew I'd find.
Inside you hating life so much
as peace cannot be found.
Now I'm spinning downward quickly,
without winning, dead or sickly,
grinning, falling deeper
into thoughts scared to explore.
My brain is throbbing, pounding,
robbing us of daily grounding
as I'm dreaming vastly deeper
into nightmares dreamt...

Habit
Send your vibe through my veins pulsing
feel your rhythm beat.
Kick the habit, skin convulsing
take me off my feet.
See the living far removed and so
we rot inside.
When there's nowhere left to go
and no one to confide.
Cast your magic down my track
and see our skies explode.
See the young man crawling back
and watch his eyes implode.
Send your chill into my bones
that writhe in memory.
When I'm sinking deep in your
euphoric harmony.
Fear the ghost that begs my...

Rendezvous
Pick the petal off the breeze
and drift into the sea.
When your wave washed over me
and let my spirit free.
Beyond a dream we meet once more
to speak our last goodbyes.
When losing all I've lost before
reflected in your eyes.
So steal the diamonds from the sky
and cast the night unseen.
Then disappear from you and I
to find the sad and green.
We bathe ourselves upon the sun
to burn away regret.
But when it's branded in my mind
I never can forget.
Into the dark we...

Ghost in structure
Eyes of nothing
brittle bone.
secrets feasting
all alone.
In my head
the closet closed.
Dead beyond
the problem posed.
Ghost in structure
death debris.
Mortals digging
graves for free.
In my mind
the magic faded
when free will was
confiscated.
Brilliant white to
lay at rest.
Grow a spine
and die the best.
In your soul
the violence mended.
That is when
our story ended.
Eyes of nothing
flesh decay.
Feel the frame
rotting away.
Sweep the ash
of life...

The void
I see you when I fantasize,
I feel you when I'm dreaming.
I see the void beyond the skies,
Its silence loud and screaming.
I live the gift of life who gave
no time before the ending.
I sit and ponder on my grave
and feel your presence mending.
I see you when I suffer so,
your eyes right through me staring.
Where I've gone and set to go
into your darkest clearing.
I dread to wake and find you gone,
this cycle sick of riding.
Dimensions shift as demons spawn
the high in which I'm hiding.
I taste you when...

Beyond our vision
I journey through the faded thought
of minds confused and tangled.
Where belief and wisdom fought
to see the other mangled.
I sought to feel you branching out
Our spirits are perceived.
To think you know what life's about
as souls are not conceived.
I sense you deeply rooted down
designs beyond our vision.
I shake my brain and track the ground
to taste your indecision.
I can't deny I'm troubled most
your mystery is seeded.
I'm talking daily to the ghost
of family that I needed.

Essence
I dreamt within your atmosphere
our sun and moon collided.
Exploding brilliance everywhere
your ghost and I confided.
Enraptured so inside your glow
there's beauty in your power.
I watched you dance across your web
demanding every hour.
You waved your might to light the night
You've won with no resistance.
Then took flight far out of sight
and left me in your distance.
Suspended in your gravity
our stars and souls divided.
Quick to live the memory
my troubled mind provided.
I woke beyond the summer...
our sun and moon collided.
Exploding brilliance everywhere
your ghost and I confided.
Enraptured so inside your glow
there's beauty in your power.
I watched you dance across your web
demanding every hour.
You waved your might to light the night

and left me in your distance.

Sleep deprived
I see the darkness of my space,
I feel the depth of mind.
I think on time and how to trace
the future for my kind.
I live the past and days disorder
talking to your ghost.
Then I drift beyond the border
with my dreamy host.
Thinking on the beauty of the gift
that was bestowed.
Tripping through the rift
with humans thinking something's owed.
I dwell on past and futures sold
and how to face the day.
I feel the rhythm getting old
when midnight turns to gray.

Rhyme in your rhythm
I want to put my rhyme in you
and tease you with the rhythm.
You grind to feel the meter through
these genes, your hands are in them.
I kiss you with my metaphor,
I tongue your eager mind.
You shake against my structure or
the meaning hid behind.
I want to pound my verse in deep
and haunt you with the feeling.
You buck to feel my flowing seep,
vibrations send you reeling.
Alliteration sets the night,
I slow to read each letter.
I take my time and taste you right,
the poetry gets better.

The gate
I swear you're there,
It's not quite clear
though crystal in reflection.
I took the B line everywhere
and bask in its dissection.
I'm floating through
A place I knew
though lost in some dimension.
I swam the grave of vast regret
that held me in suspension.
I wake inside
the sheets to hide
the demons from their viewing.
I must reside or take the ride
to see what I've been doing.
I can't control
my state of soul
or cosmic intervention.
