POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Seductive Dreams
The colors of my
Seductive dreams
Seducing me
To return to sleep
Quiet whispers
Float through
The toxic air
There’s not anything
Left for me
Anymore here
Selection of the music
Is quite good
As for the rest
Is tasteless
Including the food
So forgive me please
If I chose not to eat
Please excuse me
For I’m returning
To sleep
The colors of my
Seductive dreams
So far out of reach
Longing to live again
Longing to be loved
Longing to be....

Mask of Sanity
Her screams of pain
Burst through the seams
Wounds he reopens
That make her bleed
Hatred and jealousy
Is what in his spirit lys
He’s a master of puppets
Hidden in disguise
He punishes her
With his reasoning of wrath Treats her opposite
Of who she really is
Justifies his reasoning
By calling her an outcast
Unfreed from punishment
Of his mothers sin
Separating her
From the herd that feed
Crippled her from
Taking flight
He deprives & neglects
Her of all her needs
Erasing...

I Am Me
I am genuine art
In the most pure
And raw form
A beautiful design
I am me
At my best
And at my worst
I am Gods
Most amazing creation

I Didnt Chose This Life
I didn’t choose this life
He trapped me in it
I didn’t want
To be here this long
He locked the doors
I could’ve returned
Back to my life
But he broke my wings
And chained me down
Denied me my identity
Destroyed my rights
Tainted my beauty
Isolated me from society
Created me enemies
Assassinating my character
Fucked Up my mind
Preyed on my heart
Broke me down
In myself I no longer believed
How much longer
Must I remain ?
How much longer
Will I be living to survive ?
Or...

She lives her life
Pretending she’s fine
Hiding her pain
Behind her smile
The nightmare she lives
Inside the devils den
Outward appearance
Nobody would guess
The evilness that lingers within
She conceals her bruises
Keeping them out of site
Each passing day
Is a battle to survive
Her screams are silent
Nobody hears
Her voice is mute
Falling upon deafened ears
Her poetry whispers
To those who read
The pages
Of her life’s story

Singing The Devils Song
I’ve become lost inside
My darkness
Searching for the light
Trying to escape
This cruel fate
He’s a demon is disguise
Blinding your eyes
Using false illusions
Creating a reality
To feed his supply
So much hurt
Festering into anger
Anger turning
Into hatred
Hatred
Wavering on the edge
Of the darkened abyss
Which awaits
My soul to plummet
Into its insane depths
Shadowed figures
Playing with my eyes
Creatures in the cave
Abandoned by the light
Deaths hands...

Nobody Cares
When your heart
Pulls you under
The depths of your misery
Drowning your soul
By the blood
Of your tears
When the pain
Consumes every
Molecule of your existence
Closing your throat
Clutching your screams
When the cries
Of your spirit
Fall upon deaf ears
Nobody cares
Rather you hold on
Or let go
Of the broken shards
From your heart
Shackled to your soul

Do You Love Me Dad?
Do you love me dad?
Your love is all I ever wanted
Trying to remain calm
Trying to remain strong
While you slowly destroy me
I’m your eldest child
Your first born
I always thought fathers
Protected their little girls
Instead you mind fucked me
Why do you hate me dad?
Because I don’t understand
What I’ve done wrong
I’ve always tried hard
Picking my own self up
Every time I’d fall
Why don’t you defend me dad?
The past two years
I’ve given all of my best
Only you refuse to acknowledge ...

Narcissistic Appitite
Shadows lurking
In ones heart
Full of spite
Delectably appealing
Stirring the
Narscistic appetite
A sleeping terror
Awakens to feast
An orgy of destruction
Bringing it's victims
To their knees
Raging storms
Submerge from the
Loitering abyss
Of a resentful soul
Showing no mercy
For the wreckage
Lives
Left behind of it's path
This majestic power
The narcissist
Must feel
From the sinister
Acts of cruelty
So heartless
Sends a thrill
Down the spine ...

Deep Within
Deep within
The nightmares web
A captive soul
Held down by hands
Her mind has become
A tortured maze
She no longer knows
Her nights from days
Her heart is a tourniquet
Inside her hollow chest
Holding secrets
And all the mess
Frozen tears
No longer flow
Quivering voice
Out of control
Parroted words
Lost echos in the crowd
Flight of a bird
Steady in the sky
Held to the mind
Of a shaky ground
Windows of her soul
Which holds the deep
Wounds she has suffered ...

Perhaps
Perhaps it’s been
So long since
I’ve actually had
A close friend
Maybe I’m too forgiving
Because I let others
Hurt me
Time after time
Again and again
Perhaps I’m too nice
In some ways naive
Does that make me
A door mat?
For everyone to walk
On whenever they please
Maybe I should show
Courage and learn
How to say no
Put myself first for once
And learn to
Love myself more

Darkened Heart
In the deafening
Sound of silence a
Darkened heart
Beats to a
Sinister rhythm
Of unmentionable
Desires lingering
In the shadows
Of her thoughts
In her mind
Where time
Was lost
Her blood boils
With furry
And disdain
Her soul shivers
Trying to control
The tide full of rage
Pumping through
The iron of her veins
