POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Oh Mother
Such beauty in the sadness of your eye, that such tears would fall for one as unworthy as i. Oh mother, be at peace with thy memory of me, let my rest, lay rest to all my sordid deeds. Remember me as i lay here sleep not only as i am, but as i whished i could be. So now i fall to my earthly sleep... from your womb, to her womb, she welcomes me. Oh mother, my mother, you need not to cry. For as you watch me there sleeping, i watch thee from the sky.

Wait
I still hear your voice like it was just yesterday,
so blessedly sweet it takes my breath away.
Held in my arms like the greatest of treasures,
i spin you arround just to hear your laugher.
I loved you so keenly, it would grip my heart,
twisting and tearing, pulling me apart.
an agony so sweet, true love from the start.
But now as i look up, i see you're gone,
and im crippled in pain left here alone.
no soft kisses left to be shared, no long embrace to show how i care.
so far away,
yet i still...

Silence
Siilence.
As if there never was.
Like a figmint of my immagination.
That steady beat that was the rythm of my life, the cause of my joy, the reason i try.
But at the end all that was left was silence.
It roars so loud it drive all else out, and now my world ends without a wail or a shout.
Just silence.
They tell us that thse things happen, that its ok to grief.
But how can you grief when you cant breath.
How can you eat when you can't think.
How can I be when all that I was slowly is taken from me.

Changes
Why do we try, left here to cry. sitting here heartbreakingly loosing my mind. I couldn't make you want to stay, and without you babe i surly will go insane. Time tickes away, the days slowly change, but through it all, the ups and downs, my love remains. To have you near, to shed no more tears, my heart is clear. You gave me hope, banished the dark, your light and love filled me up and saved my heart. I knew from the start, that you would be mine, but then something changed. How could you go,and break my heart, ruthlessly wounded, you tore it apart.

The Vow
If I could marry you today, and I could find the words I wanted to say, it wouldn't be the blissfully sweet sonnet so many others display. My words would be kind, and true to a fault, each and every syllable coming straight from the heart. They'd be to you alone, as if no one else were there, they'd be about how my life grows brighter, just because you are near. My love would flow like water as I look into your eyes, and I would hold your hand, completely enjoying being alive. With every word that you speak, with every touch we share, with every bite of your lip, and every twist of your hair....

Un-named
Dreams of a future that will never be,
Times and memories ill never see.
the tenderest touch, the warmest embrace, a beautiful laugh all drifting away.
Mine for a moment,
Then gone like the wind,
no name,
no face,
only pain in the end.
Now when i sleep,
i dream of all the words we never said,
the fights we never had.
So now for the man who never cried,
the tears come far too often,
and day after day again I am left rebroken.
They say time heals all wounds,
well i call bullshit.
How...

Everburn
The burn that's all consuming,
The burn that hunts my nights,
The burn that blazes through me and brings
tears to my eyes.
This blaze, this burning, is love.
It ignited the night we met,
And ever since that moment, i can't get you out my head.
Your voice,
Your eyes,
Your beauty,
The smoothness of your touch.
The shimmering of your smile,
I swear i can't get enough.
Through the days i long to see you,
Through my nights you fill my...

Oblivion
Passionatly embracing you,
holding you to my heart,
your voice fills me near to bursting, but i can't stop.
Holding you tighter,
kissing you sweeter,
your love a sweet nectar, an addiction like no other.
Here and now, at this moment of total bliss,
where the sun, the moon, and the stars collide, time seems to stand still.
This is the "vanishing poin" baby,
there's nothing left but you and me,
our love,
our touch,
the beat of our hearts ringing out like bells in the night.
This is true glory, ...

Without You
The heavens above mirror my pain
cascadeing rains as tears drip down my face
Lost and alone
hopelessly broken
so many tears my eyes appear swollen
How do I live when you're gone
How do I breath when i wake up alone
You are the good in my life, the beat in my heart, the spark in the night.
How do I stand another day
How do i walk, when bound by this pain
my heart's disappeared without a trace
and now all thats left is a hole in its place
Try to move,
Try to think,
Try...

Truth
I once was asked "what seperates man from beast?", and i replied "It is not simply his ability to walk upright, nor is it just his use of tools and opposible thumb. No, man is unique in the fact that he has not olny the immagination, but the faith to dream of the immpossible, and the will to acheive it. He has the audacity to ask not only Why, but Why Not. he has the strength of character to stare adversity in the face and overcome it. He hears the whispers in the wind, the many impossibilities of the world, and brings them to heel by the power of his own hands. It is he who...

Final Rest
As i lay down to rest.
quietly lurking is the shadow of death.
Forever waiting in darkest glee.
he torments me endlessly.
He mocks me at every turn.
laughing as my sorrows churn.
I cover my ears to tune him out.
but i can't contain my riseing doubts.
Fitfully i fall asleep.
but stil i see his evil deeds.
Wakeing then at deaths behest.
I now find my eternal rest.
quietly lurking is the shadow of death.
Forever waiting in darkest glee.
he torments me endlessly.
He mocks me at every turn.
laughing as my sorrows churn.
I cover my ears to tune him out.
but i can't contain my riseing doubts.
Fitfully i fall asleep.
but stil i see his evil deeds.
Wakeing then at deaths behest.
I now find my eternal rest.
