POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Constantly trying to evolve my style. Partial to dark writings
Aged Agony
How did I ever stray so far
From the pain that fueled my thoughts so dark
The muses of my past left in a museum
In a corner, battles fought where no one will ever see them
I avoid looking back, but it's no good to pretend
That there's no chance of falling into the same trends
A life built on patterns
Cold as the rings of Saturn
So distant, letting no one near
To hear the voices that I fear
Inside my head they're softly ringing
Getting louder as they're singing
Haunting ghosts of my upbringing
Just...

Shadow Kin
Can you feel that evil spreading?
I hope you are not regretting
Summoning this demon, dreading
Now it is too late for fretting
Close your eyes and look inside
Feel sickness that will never die
Watch as it multiplies galore
Fiendishly it thirsts for more
You're lying to yourself
Embrace the dark inside that swells
Welcome to your own hell
Your secret's safe, I'll never tell
Once more you delve within
Let yourself get lost in sin
That which hides beneath the skin ...

Not a Hero
I keep them hidden from you all, my darkest of secrets
For if they were to be revealed, there'd be nothing but regrets
Until you learn what it's like to swim in the deep end
No more on those floaties will you be able to depend
You'll need to learn to dive and swim, or you'll never defend
Against darkness beneath the surface, you will drown if you pretend
No lifeguard is available, that would be a godsend
No one to protect you if you bow or break or bend
I'm busy with my own life, I don't have a hand to...

Sinking Sanity
Slither to your resting place
You vile, lying, thieving snake
I know you knew what was at stake
Yet you still threw it all away
As if you had not a care in the world
Now you really have none, into abyss hurled
You are the silhouette that I see on the horizon
Growing closer, I can feel your grip begin tighten
You wrap your hands around my mind and squeeze
Until the juice is dripping out, the cure for your disease
What relieves your self-inflicted pain
Has me caught in a migraine
Feeling like I want to drill a...

Shadow Work
Excuse me Mr. Dane, you have some unfinished business
Overturn your grave, so you can write that record like Guinness
I long to know what sounds you'd sew together while recording
That majestic voice you had, you always left the crowds roaring
I wonder, what was the final verse on the page
Before your heart gave out, left premature for your age
Thousands mourned around the world, the loss of savant
I will not forget your legacy, your soul still haunts
The halls within my skull, such a fitting home for you
You helped me explore my...

Who Needs Inspiration Anyway?
Once again I find myself staring at a blank page
This creative block has my mind is stuck in a cage
I try to pick the lock, let the beast out of this pen
As I begin to scribble it's like I lose myself again
Going insane from all these rambles
That've left my brain in shambles
I light this flame up like a candle
Paint colorful words just like a vandal
I check the dictionary where they're ample to sample
But I'm not out of the woods yet, still cutting through all these brambles
...

Willingly Captivated
Since the moment we locked eyes, you threw away the key
Now I've been captivated, no desire to be set free
The words you whisper in my ear, this feeling is hypnotic
Starved when you're not feeding this addiction so erotic
What started out so innocent now has me feeling psychotic
You are the only medicine that mends my soul, necrotic
Break me down until there's nothing left
Overtake me as I gasp for breath
Make it ache, make it hurt, make it sting
Make me tremble as you're tugging on my heart's strings
I'm your marionette,...

A Black Cat With Wings
So there I was at work, straightening out cards and letters
Happy birthdays, get well soons, I hope you feel betters
As I was passing by
There was one that caught my eye
Made me stop dead in my tracks
Lost in flashbacks
"Your cat was so lucky to have a friend like you"
I shook my head and thought "That isn't true"
There on the cover was a black cat with wings
And a halo, and for a brief moment it was comforting
Until I recalled how you were left to be neglected
Knowing the mistakes that I made can...

Revel in Revenge
It's time for the breaking of bread
You should share, but keep taking instead
Now your lies are waking the dead
Think I don't know you're faking in bed?
I'll break in your head, you're shaking with dread
Make no mistake, this aching has spread
This is your last facade
You're revolting like a charging cattle prod
I watch as you bolt like lightning
But there's no escape, this might sting
I think you've finally lost it
Your head is tapped like a faucet
Your mouth is running hot, you're always blowing steam
Wish I could...

One More Reason
Riding the waves of time
Nothing can change my mind
You have to stay behind
Release these chains that bind
Yet you still remain blind
I heard it through the grapevine
That you're in pain, but can't find
A care to give, just a nightmare relived
I'm not coming back to you
There's no take backs, rewinds, redos
What will it take to get it through
Your head, this love you can't renew
Betrayal's not thing you can just forget and erase
The wounds reopen each and every time...
Nothing can change my mind
