POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I do not claim to be a poet or an accomplished writer by any means, I only write what I think, feel and experience within my own little space in the universe and hope it touches someone in someway.
Invisible Man
Devoid of all substance and matter
I am empty to the core
Cold and vacant are my eyes
My soul resides in me no more
Love and desire have vacated my heart
And my will and hope have fled
Any thoughts of joy or happiness
No longer fill my head
Drained of all feeling and emotion
All that’s left is an empty shell
My tears have dried, my voice has gone
I’m now unable to cry or yell
My spiritual existence has ended
And left me completely hollow
If my courage hadn’t left me long ago
I would let my mortal...

A Question of Love
I asked a question
Onto the night
How is it love
Has not found me today?
Alas the night did answer
My question of love
And these are the words
Onto me it did say
If you open your eyes
And heart you will find
You have walked right by it
And left it behind
Love does not seek
Or make an effort to find
Or even to reveal it self
To eyes that are blind….

A Voyage to Nowhere
I’ve sailed towards freedom
A lifetime it seems,
But only manage
To arrive in my dreams.
Stranded in this place
Like a ship on a reef,
Held fast in the embrace
Of heartache and grief
Unable to pull free
From its iron tight grip,
Trapped in the misery
On my now sinking ship
Desperation and anguish
Washes over my face,
Am I wasting my time
Sailing to this Imaginary place?
I’m a mariner who’s out of sort
Traversing this turbulent sea,
Searching for the nearest port
Where I...

Adam’s Apple
Red ripe is my fruit
Plump and bursting with resentment
Oozing remorse and regret
My pain Ready for you to harvest
I have waited patiently
For your uncontrollable urge
To feast upon my agony
And devour my shame
Your greedy appetite
For my suffering is insatiable
Feed your glutinous desires
As you sink your teeth deep
Into my cold flesh
Taste my bittersweet discontent
As you ingest my poisoned hatred
And choke upon the shards
Of my broken heart and shattered dreams
Now that you have...

As you sink your teeth deep
Into my cold flesh
Taste my bittersweet discontent
As you ingest my poisoned hatred
And choke upon the shards
Of my broken heart and shattered dreams
Now that you have...

At The End Of My Rope
Stuck in this place
Full of empty space
Where the deafening silence
Awaits a verbal embrace
Just one utterance of hope
To be given the strength to cope
And I will unwind the noose
From the end of my rope
Just one ray of light
To regain my sight
To be able to be set free
From all of the anger and fright
Unable to bear
This mask of shame I now wear
To keep living this lie
That anyone will even care
But now it’s too late
My feet now fully off the crate
And my body is now free ...
Full of empty space

Awaits a verbal embrace

To be able to be set free
From all of the anger and fright
Unable to bear
This mask of shame I now wear
To keep living this lie
That anyone will even care
But now it’s too late
My feet now fully off the crate
And my body is now free ...

Weathered Heart
Beautiful creature
Thou hast stolen my heart
And imprisoned my soul
Tempt not the power of my passion
For thy fragile heart
Shall not weather the storm
My love produces
Like a tempest
It shall sweep thee from thy feet
Spinning thee wildly in blissful chaos
Tears of my joyful enlightenment
Shall rain upon thy silken hair
Soaking thy delicate skin
With my deluge of affection
The sound of my beating heart
Shall reverberate within thy being
Like thunder echoing the words
Of my eternal...

Til Death Do Us Part
What is it with you?
Tiny little pill
That makes me crave you
Even though I’m not even ill
You have clouded my judgment
And infected my brain
The way I let you control me
I must be totally insane
I know I should leave you
Discard you for sure
But I can’t seem to shake
Your illicit allure
You always seem to know
How to make me forget
All the things in my life
That fills me with regret
You numb all my pain
And chase away my fear
You take me from my reality
And make everything...
