POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Keep an eye on me when I swim too close to the deep end, It will be a sight too see, as I thrash around trying to keep my head above water.

Tar crucifixion
Life on the outside is getting colder, the damage I've done has severed the chord, under this roof is the creature, with talons and venom, its heart grows bleaker. The tar that has trapped me, it's gripping even tighter. The creature snarls and hisses, its grasp will not cease, until I'm no longer victim. My blood is cold and also non existent, they called me hollow prophet, because of my vision. of fire and fury with a touch of madness, Of pain and cruelty by the touch of malice.

I can't handle being social, I'm actually broken. I feel weak around people now, I just can't do it, I'm that socially destroyed I actual just want to breakdown

Devour
Is it a normal feeling that beats within, the lacerations feel physical.
The pressure is pushing me into the dark, the abysmal defeat.
I've never been so weak.
My heart has ached in the cold blackness, the beating is growing faint.
I'm no longer a Phoenix waiting for death, this time resurrection doesn't hear my cries.
The pressure is pushing me into the dark, the abysmal defeat.
I've never been so weak.
My heart has ached in the cold blackness, the beating is growing faint.
I'm no longer a Phoenix waiting for death, this time resurrection doesn't hear my cries.

To snuff or not to snuff
Should I quit or keep trying?
Not sure if I'm progressing with poetry.

Seething
Rip me to pieces and feed me to the wolves, aorta spilling the life to the floor, the pain is beyond comprehension, my life restored, so you can hurt me forevermore. My voice is silenced, no screams to ignore, pleads to stop the violence, but the voice falls short. No way to run, can't stop the wolf, can't kill the bitch, I'm shackled to the floor, hopelessness sets in like the shadow on the wall, accepting my new life as the pariah, the hate is now the norm.

Infinite Stigmata
The bloodletting I've done hasn't stopped the vein, constantly shifting the blood from the bucket to the drain, the tar that etched its way, still has its way, stow the bleeding, stop the pain, its all a blur, its all the same, nothing stops the bleeding, the toxin has its way, I'm hollowed but I'm full the same, from the bucket to the drain, its excruciatingly mundane, The pig and the wolf still fight for the pain, the ash of the phoenix will rise all the same. This retribution flooding from the veins, this execution, is eternally in place.

Maggot
Scattered mind, only demons rest inside,
Shattered eyes, bleeding from the outside.
Slow tar embrace, I'm left to face, the mirror on the wall.
This husk has a face, filled with malicious fucking hate.
Shattered eyes, bleeding from the outside.
Slow tar embrace, I'm left to face, the mirror on the wall.
This husk has a face, filled with malicious fucking hate.

Grit
You snuffed the flame from me, ashes of a fallen kingdom,
Rubble is for all of me,
Temples were meant to crumble.
I was made of stone and strength, fine without humanities breath,
You came to me and turned me into a man,
Just so you could thrust the daggers of human torment,
I looked to you for comfort, but that's when I became a god, because love is for the coward, and I'm to far gone.
My ways, have been, set in stone, I no longer fit your ideas of not dying alone. All I need is myself, everything I trust, I bury in head.
I am my keeper, no-one will...

At the gallows edge
I know what its like to lose everything I had, it was destroyed by the beast inside my head, no black dog, just a leech to feed on the pain in my life, slowly entombing my body with the tar embrace.

Void
Isolation in all its purity, clean cut darkness and serenity, oh how it mocks me,
Twas something I craved, but now I've had my share, into the abyss I stand.
The night sky is not as black as the recesses of my mind, nor is the the vulture that follows from behind.
Scraps for it to feed apon, I flay myself alive, for I too need the nourishment to survive.
Like the temple bell, my voice tolls nigh, I must be free of the abyssal recess of my mind.
I cry out louder, for an eardrum to find, but no one answers me in kind.
So I stand here, floating in the darkness of...

Misanthropic
Feels like my life is drawing to a close, a parting of flesh for all to judge.
Like my throat my emotions severely lacerated, a tarnished past leaves no future.
My torso ripped in two, like I was from you.
My carcass tells the story of suffering and fear.
My bloated ego fills the body with putrid methane.
No heart until it was built to feel for you, entwined in the mud it will stay.
My spirit never soared, it was instead chained to the cloud that looms over, the dog is my keeper.
A fitting end for a worthless life.
Like my throat my emotions severely lacerated, a tarnished past leaves no future.
My torso ripped in two, like I was from you.
My carcass tells the story of suffering and fear.
My bloated ego fills the body with putrid methane.
No heart until it was built to feel for you, entwined in the mud it will stay.
My spirit never soared, it was instead chained to the cloud that looms over, the dog is my keeper.
A fitting end for a worthless life.
