POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Constantly trying to evolve my style. Partial to dark writings
Daily Routine
Trying to piece it all together,
Feeling a little under the weather
So I fire up the lighter
To make the world seem a bit brighter
A fog of smoke swallows the room
Erasing any trace of gloom
Feeling relaxed and collected
Lost in memories resurrected
Drifting high on clouds of dream
No more need to be redeemed
Now that I've decidedly
Let go of this anxiety
And set my spirit soaring free
So my chains feel weightless to me
But when they start to pull me down
It's time for another round ...

And set my spirit soaring free
So my chains feel weightless to me
But when they start to pull me down

Modern Racism is Thoughtless Escapism
Why do you keep up with this racial estrangement
When different skin color's as natural as the glacial arrangements?
Why can't you learn to accept
The diversity
I'm in disbelief at these concepts
That you blurt at me
I guess it's just too much to confess
That you hurt those in need
You brush it off like you've done nothing wrong
Accuse us of racism for acknowledging your flaws
Accuse of of fascism for admonishing your thoughts
You ignore their claims that they're just following the law...

Despicable
I'm a killer
I'm a thief
I'm a liar
I'm a cheat
Most of all I'm a deadbeat
I've got your back until it doesn't hold me up anymore
Then I'll stab like Brutus and all the traitors before
There's a special place in hell I'm told for people like me
Dante gave the forecast, warned to dress warm
Maybe I'll thaw in Satan's jaws
Or be impaled on his horns
I can't contain my anticipation
I want to be at Lucifer's side
Exhausted from all this waiting
It feels like I'm suffocating
Inhaling the fresh air, still walking...

Out of My League
She appeared to me in the light
Like a nomad seeking no discourse
Just gave a solemn stare
As if into thin air
In my direction, piercing through me
As if I was nothing but fog to be dispersed
Awestricken
I balk like a chicken
At the notion that such beauty exists
That I can not interact with
Not to touch or to feel
Just to watch highlight reels
Of her day to day grace
Such is my cowardace
If I were an ocean bottom dweller
Dwindling in what few precious rays could reach
She'd be at the...

Hell's Sun
What's it like in hell, you ask?
I'll take you there, give you a show
Show you my favorite spot to bask
In the dark sun's chilling glow
Appearance much like an eclipse
Siphoning warmth, the one difference
Leaving the hellfire brutal cold
A confusing concept, I know
The frostfire cuts into your soul
Leaves a gaping empty hole
Despair settles into your being
Any happy thoughts are fleeting
Reminded of the terrors you are made to...

Wake Up
Why do the poor keep on turning to crime
Instead of finding decent jobs and showing up for work on time?"
Just keep traveling along that school to prison pipeline
It doesn't matter if their crimes were violent or benign
"But they're degenerates
We're too generous
With our benefits
They don't need our government assistance
They'll just spend it on all their drug addictions",
We keep hitting them with all of these convictions
While our profiling increases racial friction

Payback
You said you'd never lie to me
Perfect for you I try to be
I just don't know why can't we
Love and live our lives in peace?
You told me that you'd never leave,
So sadly I have been deceived
But there's no time to mourn or grieve
It's my revenge, there's no reprieve
I'll love you until there's nothing left
I'll kiss your cold lips
While you take your dying breath
As the fresh blood still drips
From the flesh that I ripped
When I gave you the whip
And lashed you into...

An Inquisition
I think I'm in the right condition
Ready to go on a mission
To enlighten everybody everywhere
Of the baggage that they carry under their
Skin, they owe a great debt to absolve their sins
By devils possessed, they have let them in
To save your souls we must strip your will
Surrender to the Lord, you will be fulfilled
Follow our commandments
Forget your past gods and myths
Give up your ways and accept our teaching
You soon will give way to the words that I'm preaching
No more gods of...

Fallen
Your tears like diamonds in the sky
Stare at a fallen star, there are no words to describe
Shimmering, like in a dream, no need to question why
This beauty held a heart of gold
Now turned to dust, scattered by gusts
Of lustful winds and troubled sins
The vulture soars, awaits main course
All beauty lost, this was the cost
Knew all along, yet you went on
You've lost your place in time and space
Now into nothing you descend
All you once were has been erased
Now there's no hope, you can't defend
Rush to...

Bloodseeker
Once again I'm on the prowl
Slinking swiftly through the shadows
I release a fearsome howl
Pierce from my fangs won't be shallow
I have a drink before I sink
Into darkness, still ravenous
Don't even blink, best not to think
Driven by will, this need to kill
This urge to feed, not mourn or grieve
For loss of life, thus is the tithe
That they must pay for all the ways
They've kept us down, hiding underground
Now no more will...

ill
Wake up in a pile of needles
Hypnotic suggestion
Narcotic ingestion
The disease keeps coming back for more

My Wife is a Shovel
Sometimes, I think that I might be a little bit pretentious
Scribbling these words down, hunched over on park benches
Try to make each rhyme come out more clever than the last
Why not make the next one even better in contrast?
Escalating, reaching up for that rung overhead
At the same time digging deeper, to this shovel wed
Search for hidden treasures, but there's no X to mark the spot
Unearth forbidden pleasures, so let's upturn that parking lot
Where creative thoughts sit idle, left in the dark forgot ...
