POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I like to write mysterious and mystical poetry, usually with some paranormal element. Basically, I like to explore.
Frozen on a Single Page
A hail of fear and rage
Fire sets the ground alight
We stay frozen on a single page
Waiting for the fight
The air is full of blue smoke
The scars can't be seen
Stand there Love and watch me choke
Red purple green
I don't know what a heart feels like
I'm not sure I even care
I can't feel love tonight
I can't be there
Everything real is locked away
Everything that hurts
So I survive another day
Drowning in this curse
I'll smile at you and hide my soul
It's dark and twisted too deep
I can never be a part...

Monster
A stolen breath dances free
Light and love hold on
Love me or hate me
The world will still go on
Tell me you love me
Tell me you do
Tell me you trust me
Join the queue
Hold me in awe
You know I'll succeed
But you can't love me more than me
Call me a liar
I am I know
Call me weird
A circus show
You can point and you can judge
Say I'm monster say I'm a freak
How you feel doesn't matter much
You can't hate me more than me
Light and love hold on
Love me or hate me
The world will still go on
Tell me you love me
Tell me you do
Tell me you trust me
Join the queue
Hold me in awe
You know I'll succeed
But you can't love me more than me
Call me a liar
I am I know
Call me weird
A circus show
You can point and you can judge
Say I'm monster say I'm a freak
How you feel doesn't matter much
You can't hate me more than me

My Heart Concealed
Walls surround every move
I have nothing I need to prove
I'm who I want to be now that I believe
Gates keep the whole world out
My mind is my protection
A prison, a shield
My castle my definition
I took the darkest parts of me
I've used them as my shield
Now it doesn't hurt to feel
My heart concealed
Slowly every piece that hurt
They're fading from my mind
All the crazy thoughts I've had
They've made me blind
I will keep fighting on
I know I will succeed
Keep climbing against the rising dawn

I Will Always Break Free
So now I'm lost so far away
But there's nowhere else I'd rather be
Here I will forever stay
I've never ever felt so free
I've gone so far I can never turn back
I've lost my mind to me
Healed every tear sealed every crack
Hidden every key
I've broken free
There are cities and castles
Beyond gates and walls
There are raging battles
And masquerade balls
I can live free
There are worlds full of magic
Worlds ruled by science
Some have love
Others defiance
You can't tell me I'm not free

Fight to be Alive
The ticking grows louder every day
Hands fall round faces
Some memories fade
Can't slow down and can't ever stop
Keep slipping through both hands
Building defenses block by block
Then turning them into sands
Every step forward helps to fall
Every fall creates a fear
Just survive to build another wall
Learn to stop another tear
Relax for just a moment
Then fight to be alive
Keep on moving forward
Not just to survive
The ticking grows faster every day
Faces fall round hands
Some memories stay
Hands fall round faces
Some memories fade
Can't slow down and can't ever stop
Keep slipping through both hands
Building defenses block by block
Then turning them into sands
Every step forward helps to fall
Every fall creates a fear
Just survive to build another wall
Learn to stop another tear
Relax for just a moment
Then fight to be alive
Keep on moving forward
Not just to survive
The ticking grows faster every day
Faces fall round hands
Some memories stay

A Truth That's Mine to Bear
A thought has fallen from far away
A smile a laugh a choice
A harsh truth and a darkened day
A buried inner voice
The choice you made was meant for me
Though at first I didn't see it
These decisions have set me free
An escape from everything I've feared
The darkness helped me see the light
And now I'm on my own
I can remember what's right
I can learn from all the wrong
Because in truth you weren't a friend
I just wanted to see you there
Not a mistake but I was wrong again
Just wanted someone to care
Thanks to...

Golden
The ghostly voice keeps drifting past
The moon is full and Golden
The stars are shooting down so fast
Because darkness was stolen
Stop running to cast a single glance
And realize the golden moon is higher
The colour seems to flicker and dance
It's not golden, it’s on fire
The earth is breaking, creating chasms
The stars fall through the cracks
The spirits dancing through ocean spasms
The souls keep flying past
It's just another normal night
Seen with a different view
It would be the most magical sight
If only you knew
The moon is full and Golden
The stars are shooting down so fast
Because darkness was stolen
Stop running to cast a single glance
And realize the golden moon is higher
The colour seems to flicker and dance
It's not golden, it’s on fire
The earth is breaking, creating chasms
The stars fall through the cracks
The spirits dancing through ocean spasms
The souls keep flying past
It's just another normal night
Seen with a different view
It would be the most magical sight

Cage of Thorns
The stream is flowing, murmuring
It passes through drops of a thought
The war nearby is murdering
The frozen hearts are caught
The world is waiting to be changed
We need a revolution
There's chaos, everything's deranged
It's part of evolution
I won't be part of destruction
It's something I'll do without
My thoughts are under construction
You can go on and shout
Nothing moves hearts of ice
But we all want to change the world
Life is played with a rolling dice
As sticks and stones are hurled
My heart is in a...

Hiding Balance
Your balance and thoughts go off course
No understanding exists in your mind
And your quieted aches are worse
Life's memories left behind
The clock hands begin to slow
The light blinks with uncertainty
The only sound is of the crow
The dripping water matches perfectly
The moon and stars behind a veil
Trees bow, they duck and sway
Winds sweep for the passing gale
It is neither night nor day
The pen on the desk is tapping
Papers, pages cascade around
The window panes and flags are flapping
The turrets and towers with...

Heartbeat Dance
Whispers dance like solemn threads
Heartbeats so soft they can’t be heard
Mind is alive but almost dead
Eyelids flutter like wings of a bird
A slithering weathered song I hear
Dancing, mindless, lost in tune
Smiling forever, acknowledge fear
Ringing expectance of disappointed ruin
Crushing rush of soft dismissal
A-wondering life upon that star
Finding no one else will listen
Knowing that distance is not so far
Each breath rattles, drawn out by force
Single memories leave an etch on skin
The shouting in the air is of a...

Sword of Shadows
A shadow sweeps across the sand
Soft laughter fills the air
Giant waves crash land
Against shores of despair
Winds pick up and choke your breath
Darkness tries stealing the light
The cold drops down to death
You prepare to fight
Your sword is just a blade of fire
Your shield a circle of flame
Don't you stop don't you tire
Just focus on your aim
Mist creeps through dim light
Drums beat in the distance
Something isn't right
The presence seems omniscient
It will draw you in and tear you apart
Don't...

Silence and Darkness in Day
You take a breath and make a choice, you don't have to be alone
You can hear another voice, no longer on your own
Maybe this will be different, this time will be okay
Maybe you don't have to listen, to silence and darkness in day
Start to think there is a chance, start to let it in
Dare to dream and dare to dance, dare to think you'll win
Ignore the evidence before, ignore each past event
Because this is something more, this is a different friend
Send guards away and drop your walls, sell your darkest secrets
Watch your...
