POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction I write mostly about my day to day emotions, experiences, and thoughts. Every fucked up thought I have usually ends up here.
At the Edge of Hell
The stars seem to wink at me
As they glitter and dance above.
An untold secret is whispered
Through autumn branches and Punctuated by the rustling of dry leaves.
Spirits brush my bare skin
With warm hands inside a cool breeze.
They tell me of the stories left unspoken— just a quiet reminder lingering
Long after their footsteps are gone.
I breathe an utterance of gratitude
Lost in this moment among the galaxies.
Once again, a stolen night
Meeting at the edge of two worlds
For a short lived few hours
Of...
As they glitter and dance above.
An untold secret is whispered

Spirits brush my bare skin
With warm hands inside a cool breeze.
They tell me of the stories left unspoken— just a quiet reminder lingering
Long after their footsteps are gone.
I breathe an utterance of gratitude
Lost in this moment among the galaxies.
Once again, a stolen night
Meeting at the edge of two worlds
For a short lived few hours

visiting shadows
I hear the lonely call of the whippoorwill
Ripping through the night sky.
It's only an echo from summers past—
A melancholy reminder of where my passions lie.

A Goodbye, An Invitation (DUP mates)
This account is very dear to me. I've perused it and fallen in love with the darker and more intimate parts of many of you. Most of which have watched me grow and evolve from cringey emo rhymes to the cluster fuck style I have now... And honestly enough, my biggest poetic inspirations haven't been any classics or well known writers (except for Maya Angelou), most of them are people on this site. I don't do much in the social aspect of DUP anymore... But anyone who's still following my journey is invited to follow my newer account... One hidden from more real life eyes and more suited to the...

To Love a Poet (pt 2)
Sometimes I will be the spark of mischief in your eyes—
Something in between the fire in your loins and a lantern to light your way.
Other times I will retreat to a quiet, somber hole
To dream, to mourn, to rebuild... To settle a colorful chaos comfortably into gray.
Sometimes old lovers will bleed into my poetry, unbidden,
As my heart fondly smiles or mourns their name.
Forgive me my songs of infidelity and wishful thinking
If they should ever strike you sore... They scribble their piece, then leave from whence they came.
I'm the poison...

As my heart fondly smiles or mourns their name.
Forgive me my songs of infidelity and wishful thinking
If they should ever strike you sore... They scribble their piece, then leave from whence they came.
I'm the poison...

smoke from a dying campfire
I think of you in the most momentary, unbidden times.
I hear your voice in the flick of a cigarette lighter
And in the relieved exhale of that first breath of smoke.
I remember your guidance in a casual stroll
Through a collection of crystals and magical things.
I see your lost, carefree face in the rings of an unmarked piece of wood
And in the strings of an idle guitar.
You held my hand on a trip to Neverland,
But we were lost in the howling winds
Of an intruding call from the main land
That told us our time was up. ...

awoken just to die
I drove myself mad not long ago—
Chasing rabbits so abundant they became a plague.
A wave of my own terrible wonderland swallowed me whole,
Now the taunting approach of complacency seeps in with age.
I talk to myself in spurts;
I've forgotten my reason and rhyme.
There's a hum in my soul somewhere down deep
That aches for healing, but survival mode leaves no time.
There's a dead zone in my heart
And a darkness cloaking my soul.
I'm pushing onward with the delirious
Amble of a famished madman down a busy road.

Surrender
I used to indulge in weightless freedoms
And talk of chasing Western skies,
But the system is broken, the people are sleeping,
And the Earth is mustering her most wounded cry.
With a wild swing on the hands of rime,
I'll be reduced to dust and scattered.
I stare blankly to the tasks at hand,
Abandoning all hope that my dreams ever mattered.

back from the dead
Never before has anything
So magnificently shaken and terrified me
Straight down to my core.
There's a new wave of life coming.
Sometimes it looks like a quiet moonlit night
Walking amongst the trees and the mysterious sounds.
Others its me running screaming,
Head swinging wildly to look back
At horridly beautiful things that haunt and chase me.
I can't help but fondly remember the happy times,
And my heart weeps for the girl I used to be.
Some nights I'm still that girl.
Others I revert back to a younger, more...

Unseen
You walk by my side
And look into my eyes,
But you can't hear the silent screams
Behind the sheer veil of tears.
I wear the face of a clown,
But there's blood dripping
From the moments of madness
Spent clawing out my own eyes.
Hands that once held promise
Shake feebly as I pick up
My broken pieces.
Fingers cracked, heart growing heavier
And darker with shadow.
I want to die
But you don't care.
And look into my eyes,
But you can't hear the silent screams
Behind the sheer veil of tears.

Shake feebly as I pick up
My broken pieces.
Fingers cracked, heart growing heavier
And darker with shadow.
I want to die
But you don't care.

weeping child
Somewhere inside me
Underneath all the lies and the pain,
There weeps a broken little child.
Poisoned by stagnant faith
And left to drown in the void.
All she needed was to feel safe...
But you broke her again.
Still your name is on my lips
As I close in on the trigger.
Underneath all the lies and the pain,
There weeps a broken little child.
Poisoned by stagnant faith
And left to drown in the void.
All she needed was to feel safe...
But you broke her again.
Still your name is on my lips
As I close in on the trigger.

My Best Friend
The moon taunts me
Glowing gracefully in the sky
Casting shadows on what should be another moment of bliss.
Instead our bridge
Where we left love notes in spray paint,
Is scribbled out with tear streaked vision
And senseless screaming at the night sky.
The wind feels calm and soothing,
But it whispers how foolish I am.
To think that my selfish thoughts
Of "just one more kiss" would satisfy the aching need in our hearts.
There's a hole in my chest when you're not with me,
And I hear your restless mind echoing in my fitful...

Broken Angel
You were beautiful when you lost yourself
In a piece of wood or a song
You were gentle when you held me at night
A feeling so good, nothing could be wrong
You were beautiful even as a demon
Ripping into me to eat my heart
Your baby blues made it all the better
I drowned in my love for you from the start
We burned brighter than any other lover I knew
You stole pieces of me I'll never get back
I left part of my soul locked in a cell with your sanity
They'll dance forever as we fade into the black
Remember...
