POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
If i spoke as much as i think, i'd die of lack of oxygen. If i thought as much as i speak, i'd be brain dead. I just write anything, sometimes it's good, usually it's bad, but it keeps me sane-ish
Colourful Confusion
Outwardly, i have not cried in years,
one the inside, every single day, every single night,
only in my dreams, am i safe from my mind, when my mind is most bright,
It's not my inner perception of troubles on-going, that makes me sad,
rather my outward expressions on my inner rotting that's growing, i'm bad,
Electrical colours that buzz and vibrate,
the pleasure, the pain, it hurts me, it's great,
I tell myself lies, to keep my sanity,
i tell myself i suffer no vanity,
but i feel shame, so i must seek some sort of gain, to mask it, so it must be,
vanity,...

Despair
Screaming in the shower,
Tearing at your skin,
Let it fall to the ground,
Miscellaneous blood,
Blood on the lips, lick it and burn,
Burn to the point where you are but crust,
Thrust through the crust of a loaf of bread,
Drink your water, eat your bread,
Be a baby then be dead,
Chat the words, dribble and drool,
Stare, stare, make them look away,
Their fear is your security, it’s not right,
Sin for me, sin for me, win as a Godless being,
We see what they aren’t seeing,
We are all sheep, we don’t want to lead, we want to be led,
Even...

Ramble
Tormenting the frustrated with the chance of recognition,
Just to pull it away,
To encourage the deluded,
Set them up to fall,
These things make my day,
To myself I do it every day,
Judge myself by calculating my time left on this earth,
Tortured by comparing myself to other bits of flesh and bone,
Poets on their way by twenty,as are many artists, good and poor,
Audie Murphy had a bag full of medals all before nineteen,
In his twenties Alexander forged the greatest empire the world had seen,
Prime-Minister Pitt the younger,...

My Fate
The winter came as promised,
Taking with it half the men,
Then their men came as promised,
To take the rest of them,
They’ve left me to live,
I took myself from home,
Still they took me further,
Killed all I’ve known,
And so they leave me.
When shall my own fate be shown,
Days turn to night so quickly,
They feed me less and less,
No longer fit my clothes,
They don’t even torment me,
I exist that’s all,
I took myself from home,
Still they took me further,
Killed all I’ve known,
And so they leave me,
When...

Field of Dreams
i crawl through pain and i wade through loss,
braving the danger at every cost,
i bare the sorrow and hear the screams,
to find my field of dreams,
i look above the stars are shining,
yet all around all life is dying,
the walls are closing and order will fall,
crushed all who shall not heed the call,
my flesh is cut and my blood does spill,
yet i continue up carcass hill,
reach the top and peer o'er crowds,
as fire sure falls from the clouds,
order is lost and panic is found,
flocks of demons all around,
survivors rape...

Blank Pages
Blank pages cause no harm or good,
When words are cast, they call for blood,
Evil was myth, but in minds it thrives,
Freedom gives all the right to think,
Even those who live to condemn other lives,
Restricted we rise, together we sink,
Down from the mountain he came to teach,
Teachings that bedded down in every weak mind,
Minds that care not for Freedom of Speech,
Thoughts, beliefs, desire, they bind,
Drift from it if you dare, try to escape and live,
But that is a gift they shall never give.

Acceptance to hide the shame
No one is interested in the things I find interesting,
No one likes the things I like,
And so they separate themselves from me,
While I watch with longing and fear,
When I talk passion they will refuse to hear,
When I stretch out to reach them, they will recoil,
They will not look where I look,
And so not see what I see,
They are better than me,
I will die alone,
But I was born that way,
I’ve always known,
What can I say?

I fear the commodity
I fear the commodity,
through the confusing fear I feel,
that I don't belong, and I am wrong,
and there was no reason for my being,
so now I know I'm not brave,
see what I need, that I shall bleed,
fall into haze then sleep and then no more,
still and calm i am content,
i think of folk, i laugh and joke,
but i'm alone, yet it's myself i'm seeing,
remember times gone by,
they almost change my mind, compelled to find,
yet I know i must go of that I'm sure,
I see the sky at one with the earth,
when I am found, and bells...

Execution
)I plead for mercy, i see the end is here,
a sorry man before you, humbled by his fear,
black controversy, once blind now I see clear,
my sincerity is true, though my demise surely near,
I wronged the right, hindered their plight,
my selfish ways, misjudged my might,
I owned the sight, I roamed the night,
for all my days, sins burning bright,
alas I call out, spare my life,
and let me serve you, through peace and through strife,
hear me all about, for you I'll strive,
please let me be true, for my son my wife,
ah woe so grant me this,...

Absent
I lie awake, yet absent of all I once knew and preached,
vulnerable and limp, a weakness of mine breached,
gazing at the eyes who in turn look down in pity and through sorrow,
satisfied in the fact that I would view a new tomorrow,
but I knew that is was far from what they knew to be the truth,
easy views, birth to death from youth,
see though I existed in material form, they did not see,
their pity was misplaced for what they saw was not me,
for I had left far from the place they gazed,
I had viewed and concluded and leaped into the fire that blazed,...

Lost in life
faded faces do smile at times,
when they think no one is looking,
they know your wishes and crimes,
they watch while you're sleeping, cooking,
Maybe share tales, if they are not alone,
Perhaps stroke you to see if you realize,
throughout the years, their frustration has grown,
such a harsh life to live after one's demise,
but you are there to entertain,
for they've no choice but to remain,
never feel deserted or lonely,
It's never true, if only.
the faded faces the world forgot,
with eternal youth, shall watch you rot.

Soviet Mind
We liberate them from oppression, which saw them flourish and grow,
At the expense of all others, and now so no mercy we show,
Charging through the German streets in fury, they scream as we push west,
My actions they bare no hindrance to me, what I want is what I do best,
These people saw us as vermin, worth nothing but a kill,
But we were so determined, now they submit to our will,
A girl is not a girl to us, nor a woman one of those,
Do as we please they make no fuss, they lose their honour and clothes,
The buildings too so fine and grand to the mighty Nazi...
