POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I do not compose the poems. They come to me on their own accord. I simply jot them down on paper.

Spectre
I can feel her
I can feel her soul
Her ghostly presence
Her gentle voice
Just ringing in my ears
She loves me, she says,
And her shuttering fades
Making quiet-deafening
Don't go, don't go
My soul longs ever more
For you-my love.
I can feel her soul
Her ghostly presence
Her gentle voice
Just ringing in my ears
She loves me, she says,
And her shuttering fades
Making quiet-deafening
Don't go, don't go
My soul longs ever more
For you-my love.

Oh, my love
Oh, my love's eyes
Are my dreams during the day,
Oh, my love's hair
Flows down from heaven,
Oh, my love's cheek
Is only mine and mine to caress,
Oh, my love's lips
Lovely as a core of a rose,
And her soul loves mine
Oh, my love, my love!
Forever shall you never feel
The wear of Time's hand.
Oh, my love.
Are my dreams during the day,
Oh, my love's hair
Flows down from heaven,
Oh, my love's cheek
Is only mine and mine to caress,
Oh, my love's lips
Lovely as a core of a rose,
And her soul loves mine
Oh, my love, my love!
Forever shall you never feel
The wear of Time's hand.
Oh, my love.

She resides in my imagination
I can't stop stealing glances of you
And feel cold blood course through me.
Beautiful, I'd kill you again and again!
Then shall you only understand my love.
Your image is set on all vacant faces
Turning my sky runny in crimson
Making my eyes cry their black pupils,
And blinding me into a void of heroes.
I brandish my blade excitedly along the path
Knowing, oh knowing that it's your blood
I shall lustfully taste upon my lips;
Drops of the river of Proserpine's beauty
And feel cold blood course through me.
Beautiful, I'd kill you again and again!
Then shall you only understand my love.
Your image is set on all vacant faces
Turning my sky runny in crimson
Making my eyes cry their black pupils,
And blinding me into a void of heroes.
I brandish my blade excitedly along the path
Knowing, oh knowing that it's your blood
I shall lustfully taste upon my lips;
Drops of the river of Proserpine's beauty

Dawn to dusk
I fell in love with the dawn
The radiance in my darkest plane
And sought her glowed horizon
She, my beauty, and ego sane.
Bitterly fettered souls apart
Shall never let thy touch depart
And so she soars towards me so
Land too is lit by her warm glow.
I cursed the sky and love at night
And all shadows that pass me by,
Tantalizing me to my death
Forever and ever watching...
The sun set.
The radiance in my darkest plane
And sought her glowed horizon
She, my beauty, and ego sane.
Bitterly fettered souls apart
Shall never let thy touch depart
And so she soars towards me so
Land too is lit by her warm glow.
I cursed the sky and love at night
And all shadows that pass me by,
Tantalizing me to my death
Forever and ever watching...
The sun set.

Lovely Romance
Cherish your breath and live today
To love with your soul in such a way
The wind blows to caress your skin
And wisps glow to grow my grin
But fear not the dark woods within
The end of all paths we dared begin
Cupid roams under twinkling light
Sheltering lovers in black lit bright
Romance pervades the dusky air
Renewing love despite Time’s wear
As timeless stars living in death
An eternal embrace love hath set
To love with your soul in such a way
The wind blows to caress your skin
And wisps glow to grow my grin
But fear not the dark woods within
The end of all paths we dared begin
Cupid roams under twinkling light
Sheltering lovers in black lit bright
Romance pervades the dusky air
Renewing love despite Time’s wear
As timeless stars living in death
An eternal embrace love hath set

The mangoes are in season
Oh look, the fruits are in season,
In great sizes up on our own tree
And the children outside do so agree
A mango of theirs is a mango for me.
And those unripe truly taste the best
Accompanied by his salty bagoong paste
Which we shared; memories that taste
Very sour, dear, and in heaven stays.
Simple things remained luxurious to I:
The dipping sauce you made for we two
To share and enjoy as what else we'd do,
And just to be there-accompanied by you.
Now you're the wind that blows our trees
Screaming "Oh, this bagoong will kill me!"...

A greater amount of love
We lived forevermore in my fantasies
Flying across the dreamscape with love;
Cupid’s dust, panacea to heart maladies,
Allowing us to soar beyond the sky above
Butterflies in the morning they flutter
Drawn by my desire, my reason to breathe
All my wishes ought to be only for my lover
And all her love makes me fall to greed.
And treasures from heaven though great
Enough to make me enjoy such slavery
The treasures I give are even more great
For my heart forever follows heart gravely
Flying across the dreamscape with love;
Cupid’s dust, panacea to heart maladies,
Allowing us to soar beyond the sky above
Butterflies in the morning they flutter
Drawn by my desire, my reason to breathe
All my wishes ought to be only for my lover
And all her love makes me fall to greed.
And treasures from heaven though great
Enough to make me enjoy such slavery
The treasures I give are even more great
For my heart forever follows heart gravely

Pray, angel
Pray little angel, religious and kind
Whom God stripped off of wings
Exiled from paradise just as mankind
And so innocent songs she does sing
Crowned with a halo above her head
For being generous and molded good,
Her holiness is the past and clearly dead
Due to her kindness; they were just rude.
Pray little angel gifted with empathy
And forgive the sins of the innocent
To boast about your gift so modestly
Knowing you boasting isn't really meant.
Whom God stripped off of wings
Exiled from paradise just as mankind
And so innocent songs she does sing
Crowned with a halo above her head
For being generous and molded good,
Her holiness is the past and clearly dead
Due to her kindness; they were just rude.
Pray little angel gifted with empathy
And forgive the sins of the innocent
To boast about your gift so modestly
Knowing you boasting isn't really meant.

Angst Town
Once, I thought that darkness conquered,
And once, mistaken when brought to light
Darkness was a slave to those who harbored
How rage is such a greatly bountiful plight
The dark is gone for houses remain lit
In a town of turmoil and dreary shadows
Where the wise knew and so they writ
“Flames light where the misery still goes.”
So as I pace forward with such a jocund grin
Knowing passion is present in angst town
Where the burning burns to cleanse sin
And pillars of pain in flames do burn down
And once, mistaken when brought to light
Darkness was a slave to those who harbored
How rage is such a greatly bountiful plight
The dark is gone for houses remain lit
In a town of turmoil and dreary shadows
Where the wise knew and so they writ
“Flames light where the misery still goes.”
So as I pace forward with such a jocund grin
Knowing passion is present in angst town
Where the burning burns to cleanse sin
And pillars of pain in flames do burn down

Dear coal and firewood.
Take me down only to fail.
Blister me, Break me with words!
And I shall come back lone
To laugh at how you blessed me
And laugh at how you then cursed me.
You suffer not for my terror
But for how you sinned me so!
I told you I'll come back, and I have
With Hell's sulfur behind my back!
Flames of redemption no less!
I walked with words in my shadow
They hurt not but they sure are heavy.
And so I am blessed by tyrant Time
And so I am blessed by Father Hatred
And so I am blessed by dear Insanity,
To forgive you of your sins
Through...
Blister me, Break me with words!
And I shall come back lone
To laugh at how you blessed me
And laugh at how you then cursed me.
You suffer not for my terror
But for how you sinned me so!
I told you I'll come back, and I have
With Hell's sulfur behind my back!
Flames of redemption no less!
I walked with words in my shadow
They hurt not but they sure are heavy.
And so I am blessed by tyrant Time
And so I am blessed by Father Hatred
And so I am blessed by dear Insanity,
To forgive you of your sins
Through...

False oppression
Weep for the poor still give
But not enough to satisfy.
Difficulty for a collector to live
To watch thy luxury only to die.
Batter the peaceful criminal
And praise the immoral Adonis
And batter for treason only shall
Reveal what oppression truly is.
Be mindful to steal the pen
Else your tyranny shall live
Within words and verses then
Forcing those righteous to grieve
But not enough to satisfy.
Difficulty for a collector to live
To watch thy luxury only to die.
Batter the peaceful criminal
And praise the immoral Adonis
And batter for treason only shall
Reveal what oppression truly is.
Be mindful to steal the pen
Else your tyranny shall live
Within words and verses then
Forcing those righteous to grieve

Ask about love
Again and forever for I to question:
Present in lands glittered by this gold
What is this heaven; what is love?
To make people wish to defy time
And thrive, to be living past death.
That such glitter to enchant darkness
And make the tenebrous beauty.
Devouring men in essence of concern
And shaping demons too into angels.
A ghost so beautiful, pain becomes art
Art becomes love, and love-forever.
Stories grow to tell about this ambiguity
A sense, a feeling? Verses can’t tell.
So a poet thus shall put down his rhyme ...

And shaping demons too into angels.

Art becomes love, and love-forever.
