POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm a walking contradiction and because of that, my topics and styles very greatly at times. I embrace my duality when I write; I have a dark side that I survive by allowing it flow out onto paper.

Riptide
Deep inside my soul
darkness rolls like thunder
lightening strikes my heart
riptides pull me under.
Turbulent emotions suck me
further and further down
if I can't claw myself away and surface
I know I'll surely drown.
The pressure build and builds
crushes me in a firm grip
the more I reach out for the light
the further away it seems to slip.
The cold invades
numbs the senses
but it doesn't ease the pain
I fight oblivion with all I am
the struggle is in vain.

Rule Every Sky
Speed to me beloved
like a bird on the wing,
fast as the eagle flies,
bring me the love you've locked in your heart,
hide no more your light.
Strong as the oak
tall as the pine,
you stand far above all men.
Storms they may rage
howl in you face
ne'er do you break in the wind.
Let me be the water you drink
the soil to which you cleave,
I'll nourish your roots
feed each tender shoot,
together we'll reach for the sky.
Gypsy in soul
wild is my heart,
but I'm broken in spirit and mind. ...

Spinning Wheel
Wisdom gained is
innocence lost.
He who seeks truth
always pays a high cost.
For hearts are deceitful,
they tell such sweet lies...
Love conquers all they shout,
there's no such thing as goodbye.
Emotions are a temptress,
desire a snare,
one leads us to our doom,
the other strips us bare.
The mind is a dark pit
hiding all manner of monsters inside,
we give our all to slay the beasts
all the while feeding our biggest one;
PRIDE.
We spend our finite existence racing
trying to always be first in line, ...
innocence lost.
He who seeks truth
always pays a high cost.
For hearts are deceitful,
they tell such sweet lies...
Love conquers all they shout,
there's no such thing as goodbye.
Emotions are a temptress,
desire a snare,
one leads us to our doom,
the other strips us bare.
The mind is a dark pit
hiding all manner of monsters inside,
we give our all to slay the beasts
all the while feeding our biggest one;
PRIDE.
We spend our finite existence racing
trying to always be first in line, ...

Beautiful Dark
As it is written,
"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood."
But in this telling,
no thought is given
to would, could, or should.
For she has many times before,
travelled this same path...
danced within the fire,
bathed herself with ash,
delighted in the darkness,
reveled in it's wrath.
She pauses only briefly
at those 'ole crossroads
dark and light,
she's wistful for a moment
contemplating which is right.
Suddenly she turns sharply left,
gazes into endless night.
A smiling shadow then emerges, ...
"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood."
But in this telling,
no thought is given

For she has many times before,

Jagged
I could lie
tell you I'm fine,
I'm not.
I stuck the blade too deep,
this time the bleeding
won't clot.
I'm drowning
in this flowing river of red.
Regretting every single word,
that I ever left unsaid.
I could cry
beg you to save me,
I won't.
I could pretend
you want my I'm sorries,
you don't.
My bitterness
tore this jagged hole.
It was sorrow that made me
barter my broken soul.
Time has no button
to rewind,
what's in the past
has passed.
There is...
tell you I'm fine,
I'm not.
I stuck the blade too deep,
this time the bleeding
won't clot.
I'm drowning
in this flowing river of red.
Regretting every single word,
that I ever left unsaid.
I could cry
beg you to save me,
I won't.
I could pretend
you want my I'm sorries,
you don't.
My bitterness
tore this jagged hole.
It was sorrow that made me
barter my broken soul.
Time has no button
to rewind,
what's in the past
has passed.
There is...

Lucifer's Marionette
How can I possibly find the way
that leads me back
to love
to life,
when I can't even find
a trail that takes me off this road
of utter darkness?
Despair
is so thick, it suffocates all hope.
Not one sliver of light
pierces
the canopy of my desolate forest.
I still hear your voice.
It calls to me like siren song.
Unquestioned,
my heart obeys it's seductive command,
Blindly,
I'm running headlong into
the Abyss.
I trip over
the skeletons of my past,
I fall...
that leads me back
to love
to life,
when I can't even find
a trail that takes me off this road
of utter darkness?
Despair
is so thick, it suffocates all hope.
Not one sliver of light
pierces
the canopy of my desolate forest.
I still hear your voice.
It calls to me like siren song.
Unquestioned,
my heart obeys it's seductive command,
Blindly,
I'm running headlong into
the Abyss.
I trip over
the skeletons of my past,
I fall...

The Hunt
I the doe,
quivering in the woods,
frozen in fear.
You the wolf,
fur bristling,
eyes holding me in thrall,
nose scenting the air,
taking in the decedent aroma of my terror.
Predator Supreme.
You take a step toward me,
not to finish me,
but to set my pulse racing,
hoping that I may choose to dare escape.
The kill never
satisfies
without the hunt.
Your eyes glitter in the dark and
the rigid lines of your stance,
muscles bunched,
betray your true intentions.
I refuse to play this game...
quivering in the woods,
frozen in fear.
You the wolf,
fur bristling,
eyes holding me in thrall,
nose scenting the air,
taking in the decedent aroma of my terror.
Predator Supreme.
You take a step toward me,
not to finish me,
but to set my pulse racing,
hoping that I may choose to dare escape.
The kill never
satisfies
without the hunt.
Your eyes glitter in the dark and

muscles bunched,
betray your true intentions.
I refuse to play this game...

Fault Line
Unfathomable darkness,
unyielding pain
hurry to shore up the dam
toil away in vain.
Boundless pain
endless regret,
fate marked me for doom
from the moment our eyes met.
Planets stray from their orbits,
stars fall from the sky....
chaos follows in our wake,
destruction IS you and I.
You are a raging ocean
I am immovable land,
water and rock colliding
both pulverized to sand.
unyielding pain
hurry to shore up the dam
toil away in vain.
Boundless pain
endless regret,
fate marked me for doom

Planets stray from their orbits,

You are a raging ocean

INK
Darkness seeps in silently
thick as blood.
Black as ink,
slithers slowly
spreads it's claw tipped wings.
Tendrils and talons
seize hold of reason,
beguiling caresses
leave behind lesions.
Sharp fangs bite into hope,
silver tongue swallows the screams.
Deft paws shake apart faith,
strong jaws rip open dreams.
Sightless it watches
mindless it schemes,
timeless and ageless
consumes soon all things.
thick as blood.
Black as ink,
slithers slowly
spreads it's claw tipped wings.
Tendrils and talons
seize hold of reason,
beguiling caresses
leave behind lesions.
Sharp fangs bite into hope,
silver tongue swallows the screams.
Deft paws shake apart faith,
strong jaws rip open dreams.
Sightless it watches
mindless it schemes,
timeless and ageless
consumes soon all things.
