POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Let me weep
Let me weep in my solitude
though it’s not the kind
of woe is me
It’s the mourning
not of the deceased
but of the lost
Let me weep in my loneliness
it only hurts me, myself and I
no need for concern
it’ll all pass soon enough
Let me weep in my silence
for it’s the only way
I know how to do so.

Let me weep in my silence

Those Shadows
My happiness is as fleeting as the sunset
Beautiful while it lasts
Never quite long enough to behold
The full grandeur of it all.
There are days where it
Eludes my eyes all together.
I long for that bliss
I yearn for it to continue
Without the shadows
Overtaking my soul
I wish for it
I pray for it
To no avail.
My sadness runs as deep as the night sky
An eternal twilight
So vast with no beginning
Or end to be seen.
Even though the sun does rise
My night doesn't always cease.
I fear those...

Memory
I torture myself with your presence
in a dream state lucid memory
There you stand with open arm acceptance
hungry and waiting for my darkness
I could give you myself a hundred times over
if only you would allow me
I want to give you my very existence
until I'm a fragment of what I used to be
in a dream state lucid memory
There you stand with open arm acceptance
hungry and waiting for my darkness
I could give you myself a hundred times over
if only you would allow me
I want to give you my very existence

I'm Sorry
As I linger in this doorway
Where I go neither to nor fro
Lost in a decision
In which direction I should go.
A balance slowly tipping
And I’m running out of time
Sand between my fingers
Before I lose what was mine.
A vicious pattern that I do follow
A pattern I can’t seem to end
Destruction at its finest
To a heart that will never mend.
I never mean to do it
And I honestly do care
But I always fuck things up
When I become too damn scared.
I’m not sorry that I love you
That’s something I’ll never be...

Just Myself
I’m in love with you
I don’t know if this is
a good or bad occurrence
You know how I detest
that four lettered
minuscule giant
of a word
Especially when there are days
I can’t even reciprocate
my own self love
Though here I am
at that crossroad with you
I’m terrified
To be pushed to the side
and forgotten about
As I take each brick down
for you to peek inside these walls
a slow process
I know
If I had the courage
I would rip them down
with such force
there would...

Freshly Dug
Bury me
you might as well
start throwing the dirt now.
I've already fallen
into this freshly dug pit.
My hands ragged and bleeding
trying to claw myself up.
Fists full of soil
crumble
between my raw fingers.
This fight seems so frivolous
as the onslaught continues
of your verbal stabbing backlash.
Standing there with mockery
written all over your face.
Even if I could
fight my way to the top.
I’d be greeted by your
gritty
shit dragging
boot pressed to my face
before one final push.

Something Else
Every day goes by
I bat my lashes
At the mere thought of you
Rosy cheek blushes
Giddy as a school girl
I could giggle in glee
A friendship built
With you that I never
Did with anyone else
Every conversation special
Even our random nothingness
You, so handsome in my eyes
makes my heart flutter
By your choice of words
Lost in this world
We have created
Dancing in the shadows
I follow your lead
That no harm should befall me
Faithful in you
My gargoyle in the night
I bat my lashes
At the mere thought of you
Rosy cheek blushes
Giddy as a school girl
I could giggle in glee
A friendship built
With you that I never
Did with anyone else
Every conversation special
Even our random nothingness
You, so handsome in my eyes
makes my heart flutter
By your choice of words
Lost in this world
We have created
Dancing in the shadows
I follow your lead
That no harm should befall me
Faithful in you

Mental
Schizophrenic magic markers moments
draw out mental images
of your face contorted
in Rorschach daydreams.
All the while I cry for you
surrounded by back alley devils
lounging on their dirty mattresses
in crisp white coats.
Their twisted grins laughing
gloved hands restraining
prodding, poking, prick
with their hypodermic damnation.
The more I fight
I can feel their sinner sleep creep
deep into my skin
a piece of me dies every fucking time
I scream but you’ll never come.
Sinking...

Take Away
Come play in all my nightmares
And swallow all my dreams.
Live in all my yesterdays
while listening to me scream.
Take away tomorrows
though they never really come.
Sell away the night
to the bright eternal sun.
If you take anything
take away my pain
with these meaningless "I love you's"
They all make me feel the same
And swallow all my dreams.
Live in all my yesterdays
while listening to me scream.
Take away tomorrows
though they never really come.
Sell away the night
to the bright eternal sun.
If you take anything
take away my pain
with these meaningless "I love you's"

Delicate Dance
Small talk chit chatter
we don't speak anything of importance
those are the hot buttons
we dance around
Both on our part
too scared for something more
we continue with our pitty patter
on tip toes going in circles.

Rose Colored Glasses
Hide behind
rose colored glasses
Behold the illusion created...
This world
by drug induced dreams
and broken hearted journeys
That wound us inside
so we hide...
Behind
rose colored glasses
changing blue skies
to violet twilight overhangings
Bringing upon us a darker
yet deeper
vision of our corrupted world
but also of our corrupted ways

Plague
I am your plague
this I now realize
You are a leper
festering emotional rot
All my doing
my disease....God I'm sorry
My love a sickness
infectious cruelty
soul consuming madness
with no hope to exorcise
defiled, it will remain
But how could I not
love you still
even with putrid animosity
my heart maggot filled, broken
a refusal to let go
again my doing
I miss you
should have never
let it pass my lips
my tongue hot
blistered from the truth
my tears poison punishment
force fed by...
