POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
People lie watching love die, yet poetry sometimes tells the truth and at least pretends that love is still alive.
Facades
friends lie and love dies
the world freezes and cries
smiling my disguise
the world freezes and cries
smiling my disguise

Tapestry
the fabric of my soul
woven of time
life forever frozen
entwined
with images of power
and haunting beauty
visions of both heaven and hell
cutting out the flaws
thread bare
and tattered
my soul begins to bleed
weeping through the fraying holes
turning into a deluge
using positive affirmations
to patch the tears
sealing the rift
by closing my eyes
my life slowly flooding away
unraveling until all that's left is ........

Cold as Stone
words that lie
and hearts that die
turning life to dust
where once was lust
now's just bloody rust
a mortal wound
of love and desire
curse your demon's fire
we flew so much higher
almost reaching the sun
finding only a funeral pyre
endings that burn
stomachs that churn
puking all that was given
our lust thus driven
and souls now riven
with a knife of bone
as heaven groans ...

almost reaching the sun
finding only a funeral pyre
endings that burn
stomachs that churn
puking all that was given
our lust thus driven
and souls now riven
with a knife of bone
as heaven groans ...
