POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Depression haikus
A sad broken boy
Forlorn to find his own feet
Once a boy, now man
Sometimes much sorrow
Others contain only hate
Peace is not my fate
I owned all the world
I owned the heavens above
But I sold my soul
I do not know sleep
Wishing that I could now eat
Now, I crave my death
My heart has no beat
My body lies used and worn
Delirious thoughts
Forlorn to find his own feet
Once a boy, now man
Sometimes much sorrow
Others contain only hate
Peace is not my fate
I owned all the world
I owned the heavens above
But I sold my soul
I do not know sleep
Wishing that I could now eat
Now, I crave my death
My heart has no beat
My body lies used and worn
Delirious thoughts

Too young to be broken
Empty and used
Wasted and abused
No longer at home
Not even while alone
Physically strained
Mentally drained
Thoughts filled with sorrow
Plots of an alternate tomorrow
A life of reservation is broken
A life must be more outspoken
Living a life once thought of as great
Concealed by a veil of hate
A pain simply just to stand
Sits a broken, worn down young man
Wasted and abused
No longer at home
Not even while alone
Physically strained
Mentally drained
Thoughts filled with sorrow
Plots of an alternate tomorrow
A life of reservation is broken
A life must be more outspoken
Living a life once thought of as great
Concealed by a veil of hate
A pain simply just to stand
Sits a broken, worn down young man

An eye for an I
When you take up arms how do you fight?
Do you pick the sword with intentions to smite?
What about a mace?
Surely that could displace.
An axe?
One that easily hacks?
Surely one would not pick a pen, for that strikes no fear in the hearts of men. Perhaps a pen could smite, if it were used just right. A pen could too displace,
if your words were embraced.
However a pen cannot hack, unless it were the soul you wished to attack.
Maybe a pen could move a man looking to fight.
However, you would have To choose your words just right.
Yes...

condolences
Although I am empty, not knowing which direction to go.
Your memory is with me, helping me grow.
In your love i have a home, a place few have ever known.
In your image i have strength.
A strength i can use to endure misfortune, at any given length.
Though you have left this physical plane, it's your admiration I wish to obtain.
This is not goodbye forever, just goodbye for now.
While i endure life's endeavors, I solemnly vow.
I'll see you in heaven, should God's grace allow.

New love
If beauty were measured in inches yours would go on for miles. A beauty like yours only shows one in a while. Beauty not solely marked by apperance, but by the brilliance of your heart. A large living heart, coupled with a brain that fits the part. Fitting only of someone with your benevolence, setting you carefully apart. You continue stumbling through your life, un aware all the while. You are my hearts new affair, one sealed with your smile.

Who am I
Am I playing God.
Stimulating a newly developed brain before its host can even see the light of day.
Forcing as many nutrients into their body as my wallet will allow.
Waiting for them to age before allowing them to progress forward.
Steering them into my own direction, not allowing life to take the reigns.
Forming them with my own hands, leaving no detail unscathed.
They are my children.
I'm no God, simply a father wanting them to do better than myself.

My missing half
I despise myself for not being somebody you could love. For you enslaved my heart before I could even tell you how I felt. It's not your memory I miss, it was your embrace. My broken heart still beats but the scars remain. Slowly tearing over thoughts of the past.i thought we were each others peace in the chaos around us. Apparently I was nothing more than a host for your parasitic mind. That's the problem with being strong, people often look for ways to break you. My shadow remains a constant reminder of the soul you stripped from me. While you took my money, my love, my soul, and my heart....

Into the blue
There is no more white light,
Only blue through blurred sight.
Wanting to jab back out of spite,
I lie quiet despite.
While it is not to my delight,
There remains no sleep in the night.
The darkness is filled with mental blight,
concealing the flame needed to ignite.
Forcing all relief to kyte, the blue has ended my fight.
At the moment i am not alright, but my moment will not end tonight.
Only blue through blurred sight.
Wanting to jab back out of spite,
I lie quiet despite.
While it is not to my delight,
There remains no sleep in the night.
The darkness is filled with mental blight,
concealing the flame needed to ignite.
Forcing all relief to kyte, the blue has ended my fight.
At the moment i am not alright, but my moment will not end tonight.

Behearted
All I could see was destruction.
The hole you left in my heart, gaping.
Was this idea of your construction?
To add desolation with no hope of escaping.
You claim to have lost your love for a while.
If that is true, then why did you remain?
Was you leaving me for another an example of your guile?
After all this was not the first time you hurt another for your personal gain.
You have left, but your memory will stay.
Your image forever engraved into my brain.
How I wish your presence upon my mind would go away.
After all your...
