POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
i like mostly dark poetry and write kinda sad things sometimes and im often inpired by other poets but i feel as if their ideas can become the creation of new ideas
Maze
how many times are you going to leave
before you realize you are gone?
Its too late to save you
from your own fearsome grasp
I'm on the brink of giving you up
All I can think of is when we met
How I loved and trusted you completely
But you are not the same person, are you?
Tell home I won't forget
my beautifully painful past
I'm sorry I can't stand to wait
For you to discover your way
through your own gruesome maze
before you realize you are gone?
Its too late to save you
from your own fearsome grasp
I'm on the brink of giving you up
All I can think of is when we met
How I loved and trusted you completely
But you are not the same person, are you?
Tell home I won't forget
my beautifully painful past
I'm sorry I can't stand to wait
For you to discover your way
through your own gruesome maze

Where to?...
My soul moves like the wind
Fading farther and farther away
Forever lost, unable to find it's way
Searching at every little turn
Running farther away from reality
Losing it's sense of morality
As it leaves its footsteps behind
I stumble and almost collapse
As I follow my heart
To keep it from falling apart
I see myself ahead look at me
"Stop!" I call, "Where are you going?"
She looks at me, emotions overflowing
She shrugs, and moves further away
Fading farther and farther away
Forever lost, unable to find it's way
Searching at every little turn
Running farther away from reality
Losing it's sense of morality
As it leaves its footsteps behind
I stumble and almost collapse
As I follow my heart
To keep it from falling apart
I see myself ahead look at me
"Stop!" I call, "Where are you going?"
She looks at me, emotions overflowing
She shrugs, and moves further away

Her Challenge
Her frail deeds may have danced at the close of day
but her words have forked no lightning
your eyes hold her continued silence
but through her bleak gaze
she'd see only her own vivid blood
In the glasses of her observers
She feels nude before the world
with all her faults and shortcomings
Shown to the wicked and cynical
Her silence is no worse than their cheers
She yearns to challenge oblivion
To trace the thoughts of everything
Her dance falls in step with the seasons
Her movements glittering in the empty
Her pen, racing to fill the...

Nevermore Alive
The other day I saw a raven
Sadness poured into me
To see the shape it was in
Now it was expired,dead
No longer existent
A thought filled my head
'Bout how something so beautiful
So full of grace
Was shattered,put to waste
Goodbye..I'll see you nevermore
Will I have to say these words
Again any time soon?
Its not one of my favorite poems I've written...but..i still like it
Sadness poured into me

No longer existent

Was shattered,put to waste
Goodbye..I'll see you nevermore
Will I have to say these words
Again any time soon?
Its not one of my favorite poems I've written...but..i still like it

My Madness
The offspring of the feeble brain
That slumbers deep within
Was awoken by a thundering crash
The world was falling down at last
Jumbling down in endless pieces
Each piece a knife in my scarred back
The voice in my brain never ceased
In its infernal wailing scream
Reminding me that the voice heard
Was my own desperate cry
Relentlessly pleading for a way
A chance to disperse the bleak cycle
To subtlety take the knives away
To slovenly reattach my crumbled world
Maybe change my screams to whimpers
I know the scars will never depart...
That slumbers deep within

Was my own desperate cry
Relentlessly pleading for a way
A chance to disperse the bleak cycle
To subtlety take the knives away
To slovenly reattach my crumbled world
Maybe change my screams to whimpers
I know the scars will never depart...

Concious and Subconcious
Your thoughts stir and stir
In infinite and delicate circles
Your thoughts slowly drill
Into mine,booming demands
If only i had more free will
I could become the one who commands
my subconscious,myself,my other identity
I hate you, I love you
In a way you were my remedy
To renew the lost and the old
That Demander,that commander
with an endless lists of shouts
chattering throughout my brain
My heart, their heart,full of disdain
Invented by each other
Thriving in our own Chaos
In infinite and delicate circles
Your thoughts slowly drill
Into mine,booming demands
If only i had more free will
I could become the one who commands
my subconscious,myself,my other identity
I hate you, I love you
In a way you were my remedy
To renew the lost and the old
That Demander,that commander
with an endless lists of shouts
chattering throughout my brain
My heart, their heart,full of disdain
Invented by each other
Thriving in our own Chaos

Murder Oh, Murderer
the genuine apparition
towered over my small soul
circling me, and causing chills
along my spine and neck
reminding me of its kills
murderer oh,murderer
deceased and buried down below
why follow a simpleton such as myself?
when now you finally
have the opportunity to venture
far and wide,through distant plains
the world is your adventure
so murderer oh, murderer
deceased and whispering silently
why oh,why do you
follow a boring simpleton
relentlessly,such as myself?
no need to be such
a typical nonconformist...

imperfections
buried smiles seem
perfect in the darkness
until the light shines
disapproving the bliss
in the light you can see
all of the dark imperfections
all those fake smiles
are fake perfections
so why don't we try
to stay in the shadows
so nobody knows
of the small imperfections
but do we really want
to hide our true selves?
perfect in the darkness
until the light shines
disapproving the bliss

are fake perfections
so why don't we try

of the small imperfections
but do we really want

Two selves
Two selves
locked together
Forever entwined
one is light as a feather
the other, a roaring Boulder
laughing like a madman
rules are meaningless
it's known to have ran
far far away...
As the other stayed glued down
Scared of her own shadow
hiding from the world
creating a new low
both are combined
not entirely by choice
But destined to be together
to create a new noise
That will cause the world
To tremble with fear
Or with infinite love
the time is near
but still not existant..
Not my best poem but...

Inspiration's Muses
Don't shoot until you see the white
glistening in their eyes
take a step forward
if you dare see the surprise
words shoot out suddenly
dissolving the victim totally
in a vast waterfall
of sparkling light
whispering the cricket's melody
the wind's laughing voice,
the sound of growing trees,
the pound of creature's feet,
the beating of earth's heart,
then the wheels begin turning
constantly in the victim's
fragile and now open brain
so the victim then becomes
the predator to the next
as they reach for their pen
glistening in their eyes
take a step forward
if you dare see the surprise
words shoot out suddenly
dissolving the victim totally
in a vast waterfall
of sparkling light
whispering the cricket's melody
the wind's laughing voice,
the sound of growing trees,
the pound of creature's feet,
the beating of earth's heart,
then the wheels begin turning
constantly in the victim's
fragile and now open brain
so the victim then becomes
the predator to the next
as they reach for their pen

The Maze
TEARING through my life I manage to survive, but I can only attempt to calm
DOWN, for I may still be young in my life but I'm still trapped in life's maze, in the maze
THE ceiling never ends, the floor is covered with jagged rocks and is uneven, evidently
WALLS seem never ending....but
OF all the walls, none seemed to lead the way out of
THE secret corridors. Two ways,the one left clean,and mostly flat,easy to get through. the other one in the
MAZE was carved through by me and difficult and rugged,a complete mess,this is the path i have taken
(all capitals...

Clown on the Moon
I feel I can see
the whole universe
but they barely see me
this couldnt be worse
they smirk and lasugh
like its something funny
they walk the wrong path
lost in memory
I think if they saw me
I might have a meltdown
or crumble in my fantasy
to even the slightest sound
the whole universe
but they barely see me
this couldnt be worse
they smirk and lasugh
like its something funny
they walk the wrong path
lost in memory
I think if they saw me
I might have a meltdown
or crumble in my fantasy
to even the slightest sound
