POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
A Rose
A thorn for my misery
A petal for my sorrow
A stem for my true love
That I know will be sent by a dove
To help my pain, my misery, my sorrow
Or to kill me off tomorrow
For in my heart a wind blows cold
I'm growing pale, or so I'm told
Is it so bad to be so bold?
Or to shrivel up and grow old?
I question my life everyday
To end all strife? (To keep it at bay?)
I can't really say
And all of these thoughts are because of a rose
One single, delicate, and deadly rose
A petal for my sorrow
A stem for my true love
That I know will be sent by a dove
To help my pain, my misery, my sorrow
Or to kill me off tomorrow
For in my heart a wind blows cold
I'm growing pale, or so I'm told
Is it so bad to be so bold?
Or to shrivel up and grow old?
I question my life everyday
To end all strife? (To keep it at bay?)
I can't really say
And all of these thoughts are because of a rose
One single, delicate, and deadly rose

Help Me
Help me,
as i fall to the ground
and I will never be found
can't make a sound
Help me,
with the blood as it drips
to the deepest of depths
of which is unkempt
Help me,
stop the agony from pouring
the pain to stop soaring
for the sad spirit is flowering
Help me,
drop the silver knife
before I end my shortened life
to escape my pitiful strife
Help me,
save myself from the enemy
who holds the deadly key
and...

Standing Ovation
Incompatibile, unrelatable, irresistable...
Might as welll move on
And forget something that meant so much
At one point in life
Time so fleeting
Has passed us by
Without a second glance
Not making, inviting second chances.
Standing ovation
For those who have managed to last
This long
Without losing what means the most
To them.
Then if they did
There'd be many more bleeding hearts
To saturate this earth's
Green fields and blue waters
To make deserts bear life
And ruin rain forests'
Ideal environment
And lush...

A Different Love Note
Lovely slicing of the wrists, Flexing of some bloody fists,
Can't remember where peace exists, Perching like a malignant scist.
Terror of uncomprehensible measure, Nearly bringing about a seizure,
Combined with a beauty of endless pleasure, Will there be a sever?
Sliding near unconciousness, Savoring this delicious bliss, Longing towards that forbidden kiss, Somehow we may even get through this.
Gorgeous fanfares of fireworks here, The painful pleasure of this brings tears,
Have to fight through certain fears, And through the curtain we want to...

Love Is Unfailing
(you've taught me so far that)
Love is Unfailing
I've bled so much red that my heart's turning blue
That will never make a difference to the one who loves you
I'm addicted to drugs, I've nearly taken my life
The only thing I want is to take away your strife!
I did this, I've caused that, how could you think I'll still change?
Because there's always second chances, I'll bear all your pain
For all the wrongs I've taken part, you can still forgive me that?
Only if you've truly forgiven yourself
Oh, you put up with me so much, even through the...

Relativity
Blooming desires, desirable pain, painful love,
Loving care, caring gentleness, gentle touch,
Touching ecstasy, ecstatic bloom, Blooming desire.
The sound of our love,
Is the sound of above,
My heart,
Your bane,
To make you insane,
Passion, desire,
Love and fire,
The inferno I feel for you.
Breaking of hearts, such a terrible sound.
Separating each beat, an un-rhythmic pounding.
Such ripping of love, such agony to pay.
Loving care, caring gentleness, gentle touch,

Separating each beat, an un-rhythmic pounding.
Such ripping of love, such agony to pay.

Heaven's Gates
I rise deftly to Heaven's Gates
Where angels debate my fate
Stinging flames, never healing burns,
For one drop of water, I always yearn
I wish to escape this Lake of Fire,
My greatest and only passionate desire
Demons and Devil's Spawn alike,
Torture me with the Triton's spike
Heaven's Gates won't open up for me,
Living a pure life is the only key
My life was wasted, my mind drugged,
The death of me was the bullet from a thug
I was age three and a score,
Not one year less, not one more
My daughter, age...

Pyramids Beginning's
Blocks of rock
Hard as stone
A solid stock
Stand all alone
Blanket of night
No effect on them
Seen farther than sight
Clearer than gem
Pillars so still
Color so sheik
In night's blanket til
The sun's dawning peak
Tall, stacked, and strong
Together as one
Making no song
No glimmer of fun
As labor begins in the sun
Hard as stone
A solid stock
Stand all alone
Blanket of night
No effect on them
Seen farther than sight
Clearer than gem
Pillars so still
Color so sheik
In night's blanket til
The sun's dawning peak
Tall, stacked, and strong
Together as one
Making no song
No glimmer of fun
As labor begins in the sun

Song of Silence
There's a place in me where the winds blow cold,
And the harsh tang of regret never grows old.
There's anger about, and demons grow stout on the fears within me,
And plenty they know on how to make me tremble at what I see.
Grey, dead trees stand decomposing and bare.
Blank looks all around, not making a sound, at you they just stare.
A river of Sadness pours out our hearts,
As a lake of Madness touches it's end while it itself starts.
A broken heart never truly mends,
Just like a dog with sheep, it cannot tend.
Love is not...

Hallow's Eve
hushed sounds, whispers from silent voices
coming from those relieved of life's choices
hissed murmurs from those long dead
sounding softly within youth's head
tombstones standing silent and tall
making the teen feel very small
a haunted night is Hallow's Eve
a feeling of dread makes most take leave
of it's signs or symptoms, there were none on her
she could be enjoying it one might infer
the night was as dark as an un-lit hole
endless as an abyss, black as coal
no hope-lit stars pierced the night sky
neither insect nor bird...
